Back on X temporarily to highlight this year's Gridiron Show (Friday, American Legion hall).
Here's a small part of my ridiculous costume from when Gov. Jeff Landry wakes up to solve a problem.

The show's proceeds fund journalism scholarships!

I've probably said this before, but in 34 years with AP, covering the #LLWS was likely my favorite long-term assignment. You can have bowl games, political conventions, Whitewater trials, etc. - give me 16-hour days with baseball and I'll be OK.

Dang it.

An NPR reporter was fired over his "offensive" stand-up comedy routines. An arbitrator said, actually, the jokes are funny, and ordered him to be reinstated.
A cautionary tale about the boundaries of remote work (and the jokes are pretty good too):
