Alzheimer’s Trial Match

Dalen this is a link to Trial Match which helps patients find potential treatment trials. Given his age there’s probably a good chance he would fit in one of them. There’s a lot of new drug trials out there so hopefully he can find some help.

Will be praying for your family. This is a terrible disease. Just lost a family member to it.

Dinner recs for Holborn area London?

Posted by borrelia on 8/4/25 at 7:33 pm
Staying in Holborn next month, have our itinerary mostly booked but I’m looking for some places to eat in case we are tired at the end of the day and just want to grab something close to the hotel.

Would be a plus if it were a place that didn’t require reservations too far out as these may be a little spur of the moment. Open to any kind of cuisine.

Anyone else think McNeese will be unable to compete at the CUSA level? Take out 2 years of Will Wade and they haven’t exactly been lighting up the Southland. I guess they expect Matt Viator to bring back the good old days?


I think it’s a terrible idea but I think there’s enough of a contingent that sees schools that McNeese used to compete against like Marshall, Troy, UCF having “success” at the FBS level and think they are missing out.

Honestly I think they missed the boat. Had they moved up in the late 90s early 2000s it might have made sense but the football program is a shell of what it was and while baseball has been solid it remains to be seen if basketball was a flash in the pan.
The fee for moving from FCS to FBS happens to be $5 million. I suspect that’s where the money is going.

Dining recs for solo Vegas trip?

Posted by borrelia on 4/21/25 at 3:02 pm
Will be by myself in Vegas for a conference next week. Would appreciate some recs on good places to eat at dinner. Will be on an expense account so can’t break the bank but anything under $60-70 entree would be ok. Open to any kind of food, not picky at all.

Staying at the Venetian but willing to walk/Uber if needed.

F-5BD- a flight at Great Notion. Spending the week traveling and drinking our way through the PNW.
Agree with all the brewery suggestions. Would also add that Belleflower is fantastic. It’s fairly new but went by there last spring and was really impressed.

1701 BBQ in Beaumont is great as well. Stop there every time I’m in town for work. The brisket boudin is solid.

Starter Villain

Posted by borrelia on 1/9/25 at 4:14 pm
This book came out last year so I searched but didn’t see a topic. The premise is a regular guy finds out when his rich uncle dies that rather than being in some boring business he’s actually a supervillain. He leaves his criminal empire to this nephew he barely knows. This leads to a lot of confusion and humor. There are a lot of twists and turns along the way. I really enjoyed it, was a quick read at around 230 pages.

I also noticed that it’s already in the process of being adapted to a movie which makes a lot of sense. It’s the same author as Kaiju Preservation Society as well which is another solid book.

Flying home from LGA today and got here super early just in case. I usually arrive early but got here about 2 1/2 hours early just in case.

It’s a ghost town. No one in front of me at bag drop and 1 person at Precheck. Oh well. Plenty of time to feed the kids and get settled at the gate.

FBD from the Other Half taproom at Rockefeller Center is a Plates on Plates TIPA. Can’t taste the 10% at all. Dangerous.

Thankful for no more election calls/texts.

I think it was included as an option with one of the recent campaigns. I’ve bought so much stuff from there recently I can’t remember which one. I haven’t received the hard copy yet but I have the E book.
