Don’t argue with me. That was best win in 62 regular seasons for Vikings.

Editor Arthur Howitzer Jr.: “Just try to make it sound like you wrote it that way on purpose.”
- Jack Morris, on phone just now, on 29th anniversary of his Game 7: “Blake Snell was throwing better tonight than anyone I’ve ever seen in the World Series. These analytics guys we have now think numbers are more important than having an ace at his best on the hill.” ...
- Wednesday, April 27. If I make it through today, that will be 41 yrs sober. Thanks to all who helped for those 30 days at St. Mary’s in 1981 — and, of course, to Diet Coke.
- Sid has died. The fact he was 100 & we’re shocked tells you all that’s needed about his relentless drive. So shocked that I still was making subtle jokes about Sid on Twitter this morning.
- April 27. I knew this date sounded familiar & just remembered: 39 yrs sober, assuming I make it to midnight. Talk about a major upset.
- I declared Buffalo game the greatest regular season win in Vikings’ 62-yr history. That lasted a month.
- When clock flips to midnight, I will be 74. I was feeling loggy 8, 9 yrs ago & talking retirement. Then, three great things came into my life: two grandkids & Twitter. And I love being what I’ve been since Jan. 1966 for $76.08 a week in Duluth: A newspaperman.
- Bulldogs win this they will be such heroes Georgia might even let ‘em vote.
- Super Bowl Parade will start at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 15, in downtown Minneapolis & wind up at State Capitol. Bud Grant will greet Vikings there in short sleeves. BULLETIN: Gov. Walz just announced public schools will close at 11:30 a.m.
- I paid off a house mortgage today for the first time in my life at tender age of 73. That calls for a celebration drink:
- April 27, 2024. Forty-three yrs exactly without an alcoholic beverage. That doesn’t mean if I’m in store buying wine or liqueurs for guests that I avoid taking a wistful glance at that distinctive green bottle containing old pal Tanqueray gin.
- Thirty-seven years w/o a drink today -- but I'm going to see the Twins tonight, so who knows?
