Tinned fish date night! Except it’s just me, a perfect tuna sandwich and a glass of milk. And Fritos.

Sometimes it takes me a minute. I am delighted to realize that my proximity to Chicago makes The Chicago Sky my team. My love for Angel Reese’s game knows no bounds. I am temporarily one with the universe.

1:09.954. Not long enough to reheat a cup of coffee in a microwave. Lando Norris can drive the circuit at Monaco in that time.

Pakistan Super League T20 cricket is not sustained by ticket sales. Catching up on the first playoff game between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, and the stands are empty.
