I suggest you let this one marinate.

I know I’m late to the party, and this is just between us girls, but Letterkenny is freaking hilarious. I just plowed through all six seasons. Letterkenny is a Canadian import centered around the everyday lives of Wayne, Daryl, Squirrely Dan and Katy, and their friends in a small town. They are Canadian hicks. Basically, Fairfield with accents. And that’s what I appreciates about it. It kind of consumes you as much as you consume it. To the point whereupon starting to watch the show, it pretty much takes over how you speak. When you meet other Letterkenny watchers, you … Continue reading I suggest you let this one marinate.

Interesting Air: Do you listen, or do you hear?

weezel32

Music consumption. We all do it differently, in our own way. Some take it more serious than others. Some never pay attention, some lock themselves in a dark room with a glass of whiskey and breathe it in, word for word. Some have a playlist for that exact thing. Me, I’m the type that constantly seeks out music. There is a process, and it is as nerdy as one can make the act of listening to music. Seriously, there are multiple spreadsheets involved. The majority of my music these days is in Spotify. Yes, I feel guilty about of revenue … Continue reading Interesting Air: Do you listen, or do you hear?

Where Chicago, We go.

weezel32

As a kid, I never visited Chicago, despite living just four hours away. Other than an airport layover, I don’t remember going to Chicago until a job interview after college. Even still, it wasn’t until the last few years I have learned how to truly partake the town. So for the second straight summer, a group of friends made the trip north, enjoying good food, great beer and for the first time in my life, some baseball at Wrigley. Of course, before we got to the brewery hopping and fine dining, we had to start with Chicago’s favorite hot dog … Continue reading Where Chicago, We go.

For The Love Of…

weezel32

A good book. Today is National Book Lover’s Day. Most of the “National Day of…” stuff is silly, but I’ll bite on this one. For a poor kid from a small town, books were a vacation, a resource, and teacher and so on. So, let’s have it. What is your favorite book you have read? The one you loved the most. My pick for mine seems to be an odd pick, according the the reactions I tend to get when I tell people. But Homer’s Iliad is my pick. Combining early literature, mythology, geography, adventure, fantasy, I’m really surprised I … Continue reading For The Love Of…

Preseason Betting

weezel32

The NFL preseason kicks into high gear tonight with 11 preseason games. Most will tell you not to bet preseason games. I would say the same if you are a casual bettor. But, the pros will tell you it is actually easier to best preseason game, if you pay attention. For the casual fans, I’d say stay away unless you are trailing a pro you trust. Even then, normal betting thought applies. I am not one of those guys good enough to tail. That being said, I have Oakland -5, Buffalo +2.5 and NY Jets -2.5 in week one. What … Continue reading Preseason Betting

To The Land Of Ice, Sort Of

weezel32

Iceland is mostly green and Greenland is mostly ice. Okay, that common mixup is out of the way. It is also something 23 locals now have firsthand knowledge of after visiting Iceland for a week in early July. Fairfield Community High School science teacher Scott McElravy led the voyage, with 18 FCHS students and four other adults in tow, as part of a WorldStrides educational tour of the north Atlantic island. Including travel days, the entire trip took six days, including four nights in Iceland, or at least a facsimile of night. Iceland has 22-23 hours of daylight in the … Continue reading To The Land Of Ice, Sort Of

Take The Points 8-2-19

weezel32

As some of you may know, Wabash Catch TV does a weekly sports talk show in the Friday morning slot of Big Talk with Bruce Dickey. I am a mostly regular guest on the show. We put zero show prep work into it, we shoot it live, we typically decide during commercial breaks what we are going to talk about next (sorry Bruce, probably wasn’t supposed to admit that), and I thoroughly enjoy it every time. Just a few buddies sitting around jibbering and jaberring about what ever comes to mind. This week’s show:Community events–2:11National Holidays–Ice Cream Sandwich, IPA Day, … Continue reading Take The Points 8-2-19

Interesting Air: Fab Five Friday

weezel32

A local yokel columnist opined a while back there was no good music being made anymore. In an arena full of misinformation, that was somehow one of the more fatuous claims made in some time. There is plenty of great music still getting pumped out regularly. And with the plethora of mediums available these days, one could argue that more than ever. But like many times in the past, the best new music rarely makes it to the airwaves of whatever local station is in your area. Luckily, there is an entire world beyond those restrictions these days. The key … Continue reading Interesting Air: Fab Five Friday
