  1. Therapy bunny in stands a hit with San Francisco Giants' fans A handsome, golden-colored therapy bunny named Alex came to the ballpark and stole the hearts of San Francisco Giants fans Thursday night, attending the series opener against Miami with owners Kei Kato and Josh Row. Sporting a dark bow tie with orange crabs to represent the Giants' colors, 4 1/2-month-old Alex earned some major screen time in the early innings -- because it's just not every day you see a rabbit at a baseball game. The bunny in the stands is believed to be a first in the 22-year history of Oracle Park, according to Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter. "Never. Crazy. ... If we win tonight, she has to come back tomorrow," Slaughter said via text message, noting Alex became an instant Twitter sensation. The Giants did win, 3-0. Daniel Kurish of the Marlins' media relations staff wasted no time getting in on the bunny fun: In the seventh inning, he was off to deliver Miami gear to the good-sized mammal. "Tonight's attendance, 4,580, not including the rabbit," official scorer David Feldman announced in the seventh. Giants CEO Larry Baer was thrilled to host Alex and his owners. "Love this Therapy Bunny," Baer said. "We could all use a therapy bunny right about now!" Alex has been an important, beloved companion for the 32-year-old Kato, who lost her brewery restaurant called "K-OZ" during the pandemic and now runs a small café in the U.S. Immigration office. The bunny helps her deal with the anxiety and stress of no longer having her main source of income and fulfillment. "I lost it all because of COVID, so I've been really stressed a lot," Kato said. "We support local. I was a local. He's well trained, too." Alex has hopped along with the Golden State Warriors' dance team at its practice outside nearby Chase Center in San Francisco's Mission Bay district. Kato and her fiancee, Row, plan to bring him to see Stephen Curry and the Warriors soon enough. Fans return for the Warriors' home game Friday night against the Nuggets. "The bunny is welcome! If he's fast, we'll put him in the game to run the fast break!!" Warriors spokesman Raymond Ridder said. The bunny has attended a NASCAR event and is even an ambassador for Lions Clubs International. Alex helped hand out 400 Easter eggs to children, brings smiles and loves to play, even giving kisses on command. He entertains the masses at farmers markets, has been tubing at Lake Tahoe and has even gone kayaking. "We actually bring him everywhere," Kato said. "He brings joy to everybody. He brings joy to us."
  2. The lead singer of the greatest rock band in history, the Bay City Rollers, died on T-H-U-R-S-D-A-Y NIGHT.
  3. If she has black hair (fur), shouldn't it be Serena?
  4. Taxi! or Waitress!
  5. Maybe I'm confusing that with DJ's wife who's off serving in the military (and co-starring in a CBS sitcom).
  6. He ran off with Andy, Jackie's son who also has never been mentioned. She's rarely on the show, so other than Jackie occasionally complaining about her, she's not a big enough part of the show for her sexuality to matter. Plus, she's 187 years old by now, so there'd be nobody of either sex available to date her. Si, Me gusto mucho! (pardon my high school Spanish.)
  7. At the end of last season, it seemed like SCHMICO would no longer be together, but covid changed the arc of their storyline and they've been getting closer again. Tonight Levi was trying to get Nico to give him a drawer at his place without freaking Nico out with the request, but when Levi asked him near the end of the episode, Nico blurted out some feelings in a way he never would've last year, and he asked Levi to move in with him... and of course Levi freaked out and pretended he had plans and couldn't come over tonight. And, oh yeah, Derrick told Meredith it wasn't her time yet and she had to go back and take care of their kids, so she woke up at the end of the episode. So apparently Meredith will live, now the question is will the show?
  8. I could swear Mark died in Iraq, but in this week's episode Becky said he hit a deer while riding his motorcycle. Either I'm wrong, or the writers felt Becky expressing anger at a dead soldier wouldn't play so well, but I kept thinking huh?
  9. I remember when I first saw that video; I love that song!
  10. I have absolutely no idea what that post means.
  11. My favorite of Jason Bateman's father in law's hits.
  12. In 1974 I went to the same Weight Watchers camp Mr. Madison's (Or is it Dr. Quincy MD's?) son had gone to earlier.
