In youth lacrosse officiating, the equivalent of the NFL’s “what is a catch?” has to be what is a pick?"
Inconsistently frustrating. 😡
Movies: don’t build the AI, it’ll destroy the world.
People in reality: Let’s not only build the AI, but tell it all of our secrets! 🤦🏻♂️

This year’s king cake rankings:
- Nonna Randazzo’s
- Rouses Market
- Caluda’s Bakery
Manny has the Randazzo name recognition, but Nonna’s king cake is our favorite far and away this year. We’ll have to give them a head to head in 2024.
One Ring Funk - A Lord of the Rings Uptown Funk Parody: youtu.be/ZLjKYj0NW…
It’s fantastic.

The more I have to use Windows for my job, the more I enjoy coming home to macOS, even with its nuisances and issues.
Better looking, better keyboard control, just…better. It’s like a breath of computing fresh air.
Top 3 Super Bowl commercials this year:
- Workday’s “Rock Star”
- Ben Affleck’s Dunkin w/cameo by J-Lo
- Bradley Cooper’s mom from the top rope for T-Mobile
Honorable mention to Miles & Keleigh’s Bud Light commerical. Cute & sweet.
Workday may have taken the crown with “Rock Star.” Ozzy is hilarious:
“I’ve done my share of bad things. I’ve done your share of bad things, too.”
Cue everyone talking about how amazing Rihanna’s halftime show was as if she designed, engineered, and built the entire floating stage herself, while simultaneously running the cameras as she sang while strapped to a pole.
I really should’ve started a pool on how many times tonight I’m going to say, “Can we just play effing football?”
This is incredible and awesome.
Bohemian Rhapsody on the world’s largest pipe organ:
Finished Bill Schweigart’s “The Guilty One.” Solid cop thriller, excellent pacing.
And then that third act. Hoo boy.
There are writers who are great at ratcheting up the tension, & then there are writers like Bill who just push the pedal all the way to the floor. Buy this book! 📚 www.amazon.com/dp/163910…
Amazon really needs to have profiles for accounts, like Netflix or Hulu, so that the stuff my wife reads and listens to doesn’t affect my recommendations, which are radically different.
Cue all the thoughtless replies of “Why doesn’t she get her own Amazon account?”
This is fantastic. Nina’s art is stunning. That burning bush! And using the great Satchmo to boot. youtu.be/rp2WdyeAH…
The Apple Music algorithm for the extended playlist after I finished Whitesnake’s “The Rock Album” has been fantastic today. Absolutely kick-butt.
Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” came up during random play in Apple Music, and because I am a dad with boys, this song became “Juice Box Hero” for us a long time ago, and that’s still what I hear when I listen to this song.
It is an utter travesty that reviewers, and audiences, panned Guy Ritchie’s “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”
I just finished watching it for the first time, and I’m a fan. Deserves a sequel or two.
Thanks to my Twitter pal Trevor for carrying that torch. He convinced me.
Coming in at the wire, but T. R. Hendricks' “The Instructor” is my third finished read of the month. Solid debut in the action thriller genre. Readers, you will not be disappointed. 📚 Comes out April 11th: www.amazon.com/dp/125083…
The best thing about the State Farm Andy Reid commerical is the throwing of the marker. Makes me smile or chuckle every time.

Oswald Chambers said, “A fanatic is one who entrenches himself in invincible ignorance.”
That’s certainly true of a lot of people on social media, and our larger nation.
Viewing advisory comes up at the beginning of Jack Ryan, season 3, episode 6: “Violence, smoking, foul language”
I’m really glad they’re on top of the smoking thing. 🙄
Look, Tony Romo may genuinely be a nice guy. I don’t know, never met him.
But he sucks as a color commentator. He does not know how to SHUT. UP.
Dude, you’ve been doing this for like a minute. Take a breath, be quiet, and let the guy who’s been calling games nearly as long as you’ve been alive do his job.
I’m muting the TV again.
I wasn’t sure if Don Bentley would be about to unseat The Outside Man as my favorite Matt Drake novel with Forgotten War, but he certainly did so and then some. Wow. Definitely one to pick up in April, thriller readers! 📚 www.amazon.com/dp/059333…
