    The best seats I ever had to a sporting event were at EagleBank Arena for a George Mason basketball game. Season tickets, actually, and I was in the second row right behind one of the baskets. Okay, I was a … Continue reading →

    Update on the “take me to your leader” joke… Alien comes to Earth, the morning of January 20 of all things. Predictably, alien says, “Take me to your leader.” Me: Um… Now? … Continue reading →

    There are two greatly-hyped movies on Amazon Prime right now celebrating Black culture in the 1950s and ’60s. One I have mentioned before. That would be Sylvie’s Love, and it is one of the best films I’ve seen, big screen or … Continue reading →

    New coach, new goaltender. Six goals from six different skaters against only 26 opponent shots? I could have been the coach and goaltender. Well, that might be a bit of a stretch, but local NHL team (that would be the Washington … Continue reading →

    Remember the beginning of 2020? When we found out we now had to put the entire 2-0-2-0 when writing the date so that someone couldn’t go and add numbers to our 20? Yeah, I’ve been upset about that all year … Continue reading →
