Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant the known effects on my family. To name just a few:
explosive tantrums on the part of my youngest as she struggles to focus on worksheets without getting her sensory needs met
depression in my oldest who was finally finding her way socially but is now withdrawn
tension in my marriage as both parents to try to cope with support our children while meeting the demand on our career
I did not mean literally locked in the house. We get outside. The social isolation has a real impact - not to mention the paranoia associated with the idea that if you get anywhere near someone, you are going to catch a horrible disease.
Every decision life bears risks. We make trades in our daily choices. Whether sending our kids to school is no different. When I compare the risk of my children catching, and even transmitting the disease, to these other known effects, the choice is clear.
I have a 3rd and 5th grader. The in-home situation last spring was awful. When AAPS went back on their promise to off in-person learning, we pulled our kids out of public school. Frankly, the risk to kids is extremely small. When compared to the now known effects of locking them in the house, this was an easy decision. I am worried what will be the mental and physical impacts this winter for families with kids at home.
Reports by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are clear. They recommend reopening schools wherever possible for disabled children and those in elementary school. The most recent research shows that children under 10 are roughly half as likely as adults to spread the virus to others, consistent with other studies. The science seems to be firmly on the side of a public health informed reopening of elementary schools.
PSA: If you have access, use the streaming ESPN "surround sound" feed. No announcers, amped up stadium sound, no commercials, ump cam, extended dugouts shots...
Hmmm. I don't recall a battle with orcs at the gates of Moria in LOTR. I suppose if such a battle did happen, it would look a lot like Desmond Morgan during the Indiana game.
I have said this before: If the broadcast is in Dolby Digital and you have a 5-channel (or better) system, simply unplug the center channel to disable the announcers.
I had the game cranked to +10 dB for the entire 2nd half and OT. The crowd was hype. It sounded great.

The Drew and Mike Show podcast is great for those of us who grew up listening to 101.1 WRIF out of Detroit.
Qualifying the Kenpom prediction with contingencies seems like a recipe for retribution.

It's so much better than the regular production.
Enjoy and Go Blue.
I hope you are on your own couch! Put on a flick and enjoy...

Snyder is still there.
Everyone knows it's Windy.
The Sparty's what? Don't leave us hanging.
Not mutually exclusive hypotheticals are the worst kind of hypotheticals.
Still won't admit he was wrong, I bet.
Not the first time. He said the same thing two weeks ago on the morning show.
It's "leave," you idiot.
Sam Webb put in a "gut feeling" for Cesar Ruiz this morning, too.
The brass! The unmitigated gall. Brian linearly extrapolated.

"Looks like Bacon just put himself on the list of Uptight White People for the 57th time."
Well, no. He just rapped for Sam & Ira on WTKA during his normal slot last Friday. He's cool.
I get the sense Brian doesn't think much of Graham Couch.
At the start of the season, I was hoping to be one-seed watching by now.
Imported? Don't you have access to some good crafts out of Atlanta?
Hellmuth is an awesome, scornful, sarcastic bastard.
So you failed to reject the null, I see.

I love these types of articles. Each time they publish one, my home value jumps another one percent.

Great! Now I can find out who won the MBB game last night.
Wait! Brian Cole a safety? This is news, right? I do not recall seeing reports on this.
Remember when this list was more than 50% underclassmen?
Neither do I.
