Slightly More Didactic

Just in general, it seems like the world could use a reminder:

Other than batting cages, what's a good hobby/activity that lets you bash/smash stuff?

Dry January. Does anyone need help/support for this? I'm practically teetotal these days, but more than happy to kick around and help keep folks accountable if they'd like to try abstaining for a bit (or even just limiting to X number of drinks a week) and/or need tips to help.

Raise your hand if your bedroom is still 29C...

Wait, wut. Eagle Creek luggage is shutting down?! outsidebusinessjournal.com/b…
