    Hard to believe today’s the last day of July. July 31st I believe, is today’s date. Or, if you prefer, March 153rd. Yeah, that sounds much more like today’s actual date.

    “Washington Football Team.” Couldn’t get the rights to a real nickname? Actually, no, the name is brilliant. Seriously. Burgundy and gold star to whoever came up with that one. Outstanding. … Continue reading →

    Gotta hand it to the folks at Hulu. The world gives their business a gift (let’s face it–Covid basically required everyone to order some kind of streaming service), and rather than rest on that fact have absolutely brought it  while we’re … Continue reading →
