Happy New… oh, it’s almost February?

This year has officially sucked so far.

I lost two uncles, both of them from my Dad’s side of the family, in the span of 10 days.

Hopefully the bad stuff will stay in January and the rest of 2026 will be fine.

I was going to write more, but just writing that above has sucked the life out of me.

I will say that I enjoyed Wonder Man on Disney+.

I will also say than in the span of about a week I went from being really excited about the Super Bowl down in Santa Clara @ Levi’s Stadium to not caring about game day except for the commercials and movie trailers.

My Broncos did better this season than anyone expected, including me.

I think today marks 10 days until Pitchers and Catchers report for Spring Training, so least that’s coming soon.

Xmas Thoughts

As I scarf down my other Burger King breakfast burrito (a Christmas tradition that I think I started last year?) I had some thoughts.

Some light, some not so light, no dark thoughts.

Because dark thoughts are for others, not for me.

But yeah, light thoughts.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

88

Odd coincidence that Dad’s 88th birthday would be a few days after my Denver Broncos celebrated their #88, Demaryius Thomas, in their Ring of Fame.

Dad’s probably smirking and shaking his head at me right now.

Happy 88th Birthday, Dad.

Miss you and love you.

Rewatch: GoT

After watching one reactor’s reaction to Game of Thrones Season 1 and part of Season 2, I’ve decided to continue from there, and I’m about to finish Season 2.

Having never gone back to rewatch after the debacle, er, ending of the show (i.e. Seasons 7 & 8), I had forgotten just how good this series was, at it’s peak.

Plus, the reactor’s reaction watch prompted me to dive back into some forgotten Game of Thrones games that I had picked up over the years, I’ll need to see if I can find where I put the card game in my storage unit.

So I may or may not continue this to the end of the series, or maybe stop after Season 6, Episode 9.

Did I toss my House Stark shirt in the move?

Messages

Even at 58, I go through periods of self-doubt, times when I wish my parents were there to talk me through it.

Most of the time I just push it aside and go about my business.

Sometimes I get a message through media.

Parents aren’t for telling their children who they’re supposed to be.

We are here to give y’all tools, help you make fools of yourselves all on your own.

No.

Your choices, Clark. Your actions. That’s what makes you who you are.

I’ll tell you something, son.

I couldn’t be… [sniffs] …more proud of you.

Thanks, Pa.

Miss you, Dad.

POLICE SQUAD! IN COLOR!

I actually wasn’t planning on going to see this right away, I felt a little burnt out after seeing 2 movies 4 times in 3 weeks.

But at the last minute I decided to go, and I’m glad I did.

It was a small crowd, but we all pretty much laughed throughout the movie.  It was pretty damn funny

There was a cameo I didn’t expect, the credits listed some non-standard crew, and there was an after credits scene.

I think it held up on it’s own compared to the original movies.

Recommended if you’re a fan of the original TV show/movies/Liam Neeson/Pamela Anderson.
