Today's Notes 12/29/20

Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of ESPN Major League Baseball (aka ESPN Baseball 2K4), saw my 2004 Phillies going 5-1 in a six game road trip, taking 2 of 3 from the Expos and sweeping the Cardinals. Perhaps my favorite moment from last night was the 12th inning 2-Run home run by David Bell (https://clips.twitch.tv/TiredAdorableHabaneroArgieB8), since that particular game was the first time we went to extra frames. Next time we play ESPN MLB, we'll be on a home stand hosting the Diamondbacks and The Cardinals. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session felt good, even though my timing from the Southpaw stance was off on nearly everything. Which is just funny considering that my better half of every exercise has been the Southpaw stance as opposed to orthodox! We did pass the 26,000 punches thrown count, so progress is being made. Also on a weigh in this morning  I was exactly at 260 lbs, so I'm doing a good job of keeping my weight where I want, with the hope of dropping more poundage. It's a marathon not a sprint after all.

I went to DaemonsW0lf (www.darkwolfcreative.com) with an idea I had for next year's big t-shirt piece, which will feature my bunny mascot as the fourth Doctor from Doctor Who, arriving in a Tardis in the 'lounge', now who he'll see first was actually chosen by DaemonsW0lf, and she selected Samus Aran, Commander Jane Shepard and Tracer, representing Metroid, Mass Effect and Overwatch. When I saw the preliminary sketch, first thing that popped to mind was that our cosplaying time lord Bunny was arriving during ladies night, which considering the overall reputations of Samus, Shepard and Tracer is hell of thing to drop in on. I can't wait to see the finish image! 

For tonight's stream we'll be returning to The Division 2 in another night of co-op madness as the next manhunt will begin, and if you have seen the more recent streams of the Division 2 which have involved Iceman, PowerThumbs and FnDanteSavage you know there will a whole lot of silliness going on.And since I already got word about other things, I know I'll probably start a bit early just to say I was on time!

And on that bombshell we'll see ya later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!


Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
