September Media
Movies, Series, Shows US Open Probably watched as much of the tournament this year as I’ve watched in several years. It was time well spent. A 30 for 30: Shark I LOVED Greg Norman when I was a kid. He was my first favorite golfer and until Tiger came along I was all-in with the Great White Shark. Over time…

Friday Playlist
Once again we are brushing up against a slowing stream of new music, so this week’s playlist is a little more eclectic, at least in terms of date of recording. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1BvcKtltKbR57Ikfyzyb8e?si=ae25d46ae8b94a23 “At Attention” – Northern Portrait You cannot convince me these kids aren’t actually from the industrial north of England. Sure, their bio says they are from Denmark, but I’m…
Baseball Notes (+1)
My season-long boycott of baseball has continued. It’s really not been hard since the Royals have been so shitty this year. I’m not feeling any inclination to crack in a week when the playoffs begin. I’m sure I’ll watch some of the games, but I don’t expect to be as into them as I have been in recent years. I…
“Yes, Chef” – The Bear
Every so often I bust out a post dedicated to a show or movie I have watched as soon as I see it rather than wait for my monthly Media edition. Last weekend I watched an entire season of a streaming service exclusive that rocked my world. Yes, I watched the latest season of Cobra Kai last week. But this…
Weekend Notes
A jam-packed weekend full of events that may be of mild interest to my loyal readers. FNL Cathedral traveled three hours to play a horrible team – they were up 56–0 at halftime and held on to win by that exact score – so I walked across the street with my pal Nicole H to watch The Other CHS play…
Friday Playlist
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/25VAMyPuZ0eSoZPw7Wpuj8?si=096592cefc824471 “Cold Shoulder” – Peace Ritual Since I first heard this band a month or so ago I’ve been trying to figure out who they remind me of. I know it’s some late ’90s/early ’00s band that I did not like. I think my mind is intentionally blocking those memories since I like Peace Ritual’s songs and it doesn’t want…
Ranking Shit: SNF Songs
Today I unveil a new style of post. Who knows how regular these will be, or how long they will last. But let’s give it a shot. As the title suggests, in these posts I will be Ranking Shit. Five things I will place in an order with just a few words of explanation. To kick us off, I will…
Reaching for the Stars, Vol. 78
Chart Week: September 18, 1982 Song: “Somebody’s Baby” – Jackson Browne Chart Position: #18, 8th week on the chart. Peaked at #7 for three weeks in October. I loved this song when I was 11. It wasn’t because I was a big Jackson Browne fan, or because it was a fantastic song. No, it was solely because it was the…
Jayhawk Talk: FOOTBALL!!!!
Some weekend. No Cathedral football Friday. L’s hoops team got blasted on Saturday. The Colts appear to be shitty and have made the wrong selection, yet again, for their quarterback. I could write a lot about two of those three topics. I’m going to save all my writing effort for another topic, though. And I think you know what that…
