Well, I suppose we have a little ground to cover. Haven’t been here for a while. Taking care of business will do that to a fella.
So, how are ya? I hope all of you are doing well.
Next Sunday is Super Bowl 58. I hope I can feel something about it by next Saturday night. I wanted the Ravens vs. Lions. We got Chiefs vs. 49ers. I would never bet against Patrick Mahomes. That may be why I don’t bet.
Looking Backward
Recently I came across a few images on social media that I hope don’t get me in copyright trouble here. I’ll take my chances. I just thought they were really cool and iconic.
The set of the classic CBS sitcom All in the Family. This sitcom got serious on occasion. It had to. Otherwise all the Archieisms would have buried it. We needed to see that Arch had a good heart after all. We need that, don’t we? I enjoyed this TV show. There aren’t many that I do. These days I look for two network TV shows: the new Night Court and the new Quantum Leap. What does that say about me?
The last time The Beatles played together was on “the rooftop” in London. I sure wish I could have been on the street that day. I was only ten months old. Twenty-three years later, I heard Paul McCartney in person for the first time. This world we live in today doesn’t have room for a group like The Beatles.
The Moody Blues in Oakland in 1973. One of the last concerts they performed with original member Mike Pinder. This led to a hiatus for the group. In 1978 they were back. This past week marked 51 years since the song I’m Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band made the Hot 100. The first time I saw the band live that gap was 13 years. Unreal.
Did you ever believe you would see football stories lead the entire Courier-Journal sports page during basketball season. If you wonder if college football is king, here is proof. I never dreamed I would see this. I don’t like it. Sure I love football. But I am afraid the golden goose has been shot. Just wait.
This makes everything better. Granddaughter Penelope sitting on Grandma’s lap. How awesome is that? Penny will be 1 in a few weeks. I thought time was flying before she got here. What did I know?
Last Friday the NH Cougar Basketball Team lost a double overtime contest to West Washington. The Homecoming affair drew a nice crowd. I was so proud of the team for coming from 11 behind in the 3rd quarter to tie it. 64-61 was the final. I had a hard time sleeping that night. I so wanted to see those boys walk off the court with smiles on their faces.
We are going to be in the podcast business. Yep. North Harrison High School Hodge-podcast will be premiering soon. Yours truly will be the host in the early going. I will let you know when and where to listen when the time comes. This is going to be a good time.
I ran across this on the internet. Two observations, well, maybe three. To see that kind of price is an honor. I will never see a penny of that. If someone completes that purchase they need therapy.
Take care.
