10. I drove to my monthly race today in Los Angeles. I took the 73 to the 5 to the 405 to the 605 to the Ventura Freeway on the way out, though I made one wrong turn on the Pasadena Freeway. On the way back I took the 134 to the 5 to the 405 to the 710 to the Pacific Coast Highway. I can speak Californian.

9. If I was to get signed by the Chiefs as a kick returner, I'd field kickoffs in the end zone and kneel. So I, as a 50+ male, would be an actual, honest to god upgrade to the Chiefs' kickoff return team, because my average field position would be the 25 yard line.

8. Champs Sports Bar in Burbank has the worst waitress I've encountered in years. She provided spectacularly bad service with a particularly poor attitude. I would have refused to tip her, but she never gave me a check. Ever. I eventually went to the manager and gave him some cash, which I planned to be roughly the amount of the check without tip. I tried not to tip her, which would be my first non-tipping restaurant visit in at least 10 years, but I didn't know the cost or much exact change. So if you ever go to Burbank, don't go to Champs Sports Bar.

7. If the Chiefs consistently passed the ball downfield to Hill and Kelce, they would have the best offense in the league. It's a proven fact, albeit primarily theoretical.

6. My race today was 13.1 miles. About a quarter-mile in, a young women ran up beside me and asked, "What do you expect for a finishing time?" I said, "About two hours and ten minutes." She then peeled away from me and I heard her call back to her friend, "Okay, this guy's running a 2:10. Let's run behind him for the whole race and we'll meet our target." Talk about pressure to perform.

5. I still have no idea what Bennie Logan did to draw a penalty on that field goal.

4. I ran my race today in 2:10:10. When the pressure is on, I almost come through in the clutch but fall just short by an excruciatingly small margin. Because Chiefs fan.

3. The NFL needs to solve this whole "penalties decide the game" problem. Do we ever have a touchdown where we don't all look around for flags before we even think to celebrate?

2. I saw some impressive hobo camps today on my run. In a sign of how challenging it is to make it in the arts, two of the hobo tents contained full drum sets - bass, snares, cymbals, everything.

1. My rental car doesn't have "park" on the gear shift. It only has reverse, neutral, and drive, and you have to push a button to put the car into park. It freaks me out.
