- Planned a last minute, end-of-summer trip to Chicago with the whole family. Doing the usual family stuff (aquarium, zoo, etc.), but the highlight for me will be taking CF and CE to their first game at Wrigley. Decent seats behind the Cubs dugout. Will be playing
your (most of you, anyway) Cincinnati Reds.
- Turns out I’ve been drinking next to ol’
@cawoodsct at the same bar for years. Great guy.
- Black Widow was dope. Didn’t have strong feelings one way or the other going in, walked away a much bigger fan of the character and story.
- Got CF his first set of “real” clubs for his recent birthday, so took him out to Meadowbrook (par 3) for his first trip to a course. We got through about 7 before he checked out, convinced him to walk out and finish the front 9 with me, at least. We’ll get there.
- Love having The Open and a hometown PGA event on the same weekend. A little bummed that I got offered hospitality tent tickets for the Barbasol on Saturday but can’t take advantage due to being out of town for a friend’s 40th. Crushing domestos at Top Golf and ribs at Montgomery will more than make up for it, though.
- Had been doing well, then summer hit and I got fat again. Eh well, still time to be in my best shape by my 40th in November.
- The numbing effect of a warm radiator beer would’ve been a nice respite from bows & toes and chins & knees.
- Never like to wish away the summer, but ready to start hearing the drumline practice while out in the yard. Feelings of being “ready to run through a brick wall,” atkot. We SEC now.
- The Secret of My Success is an absolutely underrated and forgotten about 80’s treasure, both the movie and soundtrack.
- I remember when “woke” was just a term I first heard/learned about in the CM/MP/UGK masterpiece “Akickdoe.” Certainly was not a term with the meaning/connotation it carries today.
- From the outside, “business talk” is insufferable. “We’ll circle back around and talk logistics.” K. That said . . . I’m as guilty of it as anybody.
