That's hurts however he signed a 5 year / $85M contact with Houston, $85M guaranteed. He had a great agent to negotiate that. Lance is set up for life.

As a pitcher it is legal to throw a game, right? Or is that just throw in a game. It' amazing how much different a little tiny word can make.

There is a new type of traveler called a “ bleisure “ traveler, combining business with pleasure. With a number of workers working remotely they take their work with them while on vacation. The nice thing about it is they are not using company vacation time. They are being paid for working and while on vacation at the same time.

The question is, how does the family feel about that? (In other words, how many hours is the person working, and does that impact the rest of the family's vacation plans?)

Good point. Pre covid , there were business execs on a weeklong conference at Swan and Dolphin. Some took their families with them to stay in the resort. Husband had all day meetings while wife and kids enjoyed themselves in the park. Husband later joined up with family after dinner in the parks and fireworks.

That's fine, if it works for some families. (I was thinking of other non-Disney parks vacations, where families would miss the parent that could only spend a few hours with them.)

Fact: Dead skin cells are a main ingredient in household dust​

Here’s an interesting science fact for you: According to researchers at Imperial College London, humans shed around 200 million skin cells each hour—and they have to go somewhere when we’re indoors. If the idea of skin dust isn’t sitting well with you, you should know that a report from the American Chemical Society found that a skin oil called squalene naturally helps reduce indoor ozone levels by up to 15 percent.
