I had never heard of Craig Havighurst before today, although I was unknowingly aware of some of his work as a producer of Music City Roots. Havighurst is a journalist/producer in Nashville. He has a Master’s degree in Public Policy … Continue reading Do Not Shut Up And Sing
After taking a nine-day break after a knee injury squatting on June 6, I got back to it this week. I still did not squat any this week, giving me two full weeks before another squat session. Knee is getting … Continue reading Training Log: Kaizen Jun 15-21, 2020
Last year, I got into the habit of reading a comic a day. Then I got out of the habit. I’m going to try to continue that. I read mostly old Marvel and new Image. I am working my way through the Marvel Reading Order found here. Marvel has a new event coming out next week called Empyre I will probably try to read as it comes out. I’m also just getting started with Saga, an Image series I just started today. I’m still trying to figure out how I am going to do this, format wise. For now, I’m … Continue reading Reads: Comics Log
With any luck on the covid-19 front, I am heading to Key West in August. It will be my second trip to the island, after honeymooning there a couple of years ago. Last time I went, I read Ernest Hemingway’s Old Man and The Sea, the Key West native’s final book. So, with a return trip to the Keys on the horizon, I decided to read what is often considered his best work, A Farewell To Arms. Farewell is Hemingway’s semi-autobiographical even if wildy embellished tale of romance and war, specifically World War I in Italy. Having taken the tour … Continue reading Reads: A Farewell To Arms
I need to check my personal email more often. Just noticed this was in my inbox: I missed Isbell this afternoon. And got tuned in for the end of Gov’t Mule. I’ll be drifting in and out of this youtube link all weekend now. “Featuring Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Charles Bradley, Furthur with Trey Anastasio, Gov’t Mule with Ann Wilson, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Steel Pulse, Trey Anastasio Band with Derek Trucks, Widespread Panic, Margo Price, Zac Brown Incident, and many more!” Continue reading Some Of The Best Jam Bands Are Live Streaming Free This Weekend
Here are this week’s five songs worth listening to. Kassi Ashton–Hopeless I don’t typically feature a ton of pop music on here, but I can get behind a song about the battle between caring and knowing it might be healthier … Continue reading Fab Five Friday–June 19, 2020
I meant to get this posted last night, but got to hanging out with a friend until fairly late, ironically enough at the local golf course. The Charles Schwab this year feels big. It’s not most years, but it serves as a benchmark this year as the return of sports continues to trickle along. It gives this tournament somewhat of a Major feel. I even considered putting together a Pick 5 group like we often do for Majors. That being said, I have some action on the tournament this weekend. Most of these are off the board already. Sorry about … Continue reading Charles Schwab Challenge Bets
I have been consistently plugging away for five months now, making steady but not spectacular progress. That is fine by me. I’m not pushing any deadlines here, just training for life. Boring, but better. Remember: from shit to suck to … Continue reading Training Log: Kaizen June 1-7, 2020
I grew up a big Bruce Lee fan. Knowing his 30 for 30 was coming up last night, I went to the TV guide and set the DVR. While doing so, I noticed ESPN was showing Ali-Frazier II and III, … Continue reading Ali-Frazier and The Evolution Of An Athlete
I am a judgmental asshole. I know this. I don’t even try to work on that often, even knowing it is a big weak area I have. It is my natural inclination. It is a lot of our natural inclinations. I’m just a little more up front with it than most, I think. Which has probably enabled me to get away with more of than I should, if we were to dig deep into the “oh, that is just Weez being Weez” mindset. Watching the world on fire this week, I have been conscious of this tendency. I made the … Continue reading Setting Aside One Of My Natural Tendencies, Or At Least Trying To
