Weekend Notes
A belated rundown of this past weekend. FNL Cathedral finally had their first home game of the year. Since they only have one after this, and it has already been tagged as homecoming, Friday became senior night. Which was a little weird. I stayed home and listened to an easy 37–6 win over Cincinnati LaSalle. LaSalle has won four Ohio…
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…
