i'll trade you my future baldness for your future grey hairs. tbh, i'm considering buying rogaine on amazon. i'm 27 myself, but i know baldness strikes relatively early with my family.

Well... I don't like that trade because my hairline has begun to recede, too. It hasn't been too bad, fortunately, but it looks a bit weird because it's just the corners of the hairline and not the middle. And it hasn't really progressed as much as it did about five years ago.

Oh, is this actually on the cards?

As an Aussie I've never really felt a connection to any MLS team enough to get behind them fully (loosely supporting NY Red bulls because of Thierry) but this would give me a team to follow.

My hairline was in big trouble by my mid twenties. Too much testosterone. I went from Bieber to Bruce Willis in no time. C'est la vie.

There's quite a storm out there. Winds up to ~80 miles per hour hitting the coastline. There have been reports of waves with the height of 60 feet. Fortunately, it isn't quite as bad here 30 miles away from the open sea but the wind is still ~45 miles per hour. My house is shaking a bit every time a gush goes through.

do you do the 'one for you, one for me, one for you, one for me' when you're counting out prescriptions?

I've watched the first two episodes. It's been good so far.

I have yet to see it but I'm really looking forward to. Watching some trailers of the show I'm so glad to see Mike back on screen. He was probably my favorite character on Breaking Bad.

The idiot in DC who decided it was a good idea to force software updates and computer restarts at 1:00pm on Tuesdays for 80,000 employees needs to be fired.

Only 1 MN team (Wild) is a believer in analytics. 3 out of 4 (Twins/Vikings/Wolves) are non-believers or skeptics.

Only 1 MN team (Wild) is worth a damn. 3 out of 4 (Twins/Vikings/Wolves) are trying to climb out of the gutter.

Luckily I don't believe in analytics, so those stats don't mean anything to me. My gut instinct tells me things are going to turn around.
