Weekend Notes
A HUGE sports weekend in our house, for a lot of reasons. Border War I’ll start with the best part of the weekend, for me at least, KU pounding Mizzou in Kansas City. And Darryn Peterson was back! Well, kind of. That’s a whole other deal that I’m not going to get into today. The Tigers battled gamely for 16–17…
Weekend Notes
Another pretty laid-back weekend in our house, made even chiller without football games for either KU or the Colts. Trust me, I still sat on my ass and watched a lot of football. Strangely I watched more on Saturday when it was in the low 70s than Sunday when it was still nice but significantly cooler. With the holidays sneaking…
Weekend Notes
Well, a real bummer of a sports weekend that was partially saved by Jonathan Taylor. Let’s get into it. Friday Shades of late August/early September as I was both listening to the Cathedral game and watching sports on the TV. My attentions were less divided than back then, though, as most of my attention was on the KU-North Carolina game.…
Dumb Or Not
A week into the NBA season and I’ve already listened to two podcasts and read one article that tries to decide if early developments are legit or not. Based on 2–4 games. Because that’s the world we live in. I thought I would take that concept a different direction and work through several subjects to determine if they are dumb…
Weekend Notes
What a weekend. S and I were actually social three days in a row! That’s a record or something. Thus I’ll break it down a little differently than normal. Getting Out Of The House Friday we went to a fund raiser some friends were hosting for a lady who is running for secretary of state here in Indiana next year.…
Weekend Notes
A very busy weekend centered on the entire family getting together to watch football. Or at least prepare to watch football. Friday M came home Friday afternoon, so we got to hang with her for the second time in two weeks. We sat around catching up while listening to Cathedral’s regular season finale against 6A #10 Warren Central. To complicate…
Weekend Notes
Another weekend that was brightened by visits from college kids and a few more signs that we are deep into fall. Fall Break Part 1 M came home Wednesday evening. UC had a two-day fall break this year, but she had to go back Friday evening because her boyfriend’s fraternity had their annual trip to the horse races in Lexington,…
Weekend Notes
A much better weekend of football compared to a week ago. Added bonuses of fun stuff involving two of the kids, and maybe the last summery weekend of the year. Let’s get into it. Friday Friday was L’s 17th birthday. To celebrate we took her and some of her friends to our local hibachi place, which is always fun, more-so…
Weekend Notes
A slightly different weekend than usual around here. Plenty of sitting on my ass watching football, which is normal. But a couple car trips, a gathering, and two visitors mixed things up a bit. High School Football Cathedral had their one easy game of the year Friday, against winless Southport. In fact SHS had not scored a point this year.…
Weekend Notes
There was a theme for my football weekend: special teams. High School Football What a game Friday night, in the big Indy Northside Catholic matchup! Class 4A #1 Chatard jumped out to a 13–0 lead early in the second quarter. The 5A #4 Cathedral defense had actually stopped them on both drives, only to be called for penalties that kept…
