In that I’m at least starting this on Tuesday night, due to a rehearsal Wednesday morning/afternoon and gig Wednesday night. Why did I agree to go to Washington Heights? I don’t know, not the biggest fan of myself I guess, because that shit’s far from where I am in Queens. With four very full 1″ binders and my violin? Yeah, definitely a glutton for making life difficult for myself.
Well, better that than being Wander Franco, at least.
That’s the brief news segue, incidentally. The Wednesday news is basically talking heads debating about how hurt DAK! is, so that’s not really news.
Sports on:
Copa Semis
“Look at this country!” vs. “And now I have to win one in America.” (Uruguay vs. Colombia, 8:00, FS1)
Blah blah blah Prime and other jokes
“Eh, game’ll be over when the starter gives up a crooked number in the 1st” (NYY vs. TB, 6:50, Amazon Prime)
Holy shit, an actual Wednesday Night Baseball! (Because the teams are good.) (LAD vs. PHI, 7:00, ESPN)
As I’m currently under word count, time for some ass-saving in the form of a discussion topic: So, this past Monday we drafted road trip tunes. As I mentioned, I have two separate playlists considering highway speeds or cruising down street speeds. I actually have a third playlist for when I’m tired after a long gig and I have miles to drive. After all, I’m regularly driving back late at night for 1-2 hours. Lakewood or the Poconos or the Hudson Valley are all far, and especially if I’ve heard loud music for the last several hours, I don’t want that. With that in mind… after-work playlist. Long day at the office or wherever, something to unwind on the trip back (even if your rush hour sucks).
And with that I definitely hit word count, so we’re good!
I propose shortening The Paris Olympics to simply The Parilympics.
I have found this story intriguing. Boomers got stuck holding their own hot potato investment and are just straight up, “let us just do a temporary repair because I haven’t personally got much more time to enjoy it — after that, you all can deal with it.”

Here’s a good one Senor

For a simple chill road trip tune this one does nicely.

I appreciate Uruguay’s tribute to democracy, but reenacting January 6th seems like a questionable choice at best.
Didn’t see the melee; how many guys did Suarez eat?
Guy thinks ‘Alive’ is a porno.
It’s shown on IMAX at Donner family reunions.
Fox News: “Peaceful, police-led Capital Tours are breaking out worldwide!”
Malacia en el Palacio.
Completely off-topic, but still very, very important:

Peter Frampton’s gonna be pissed.
“…possibly while high.”
Death, taxes, and Luis Suarez being garbage.
Just so I’m clear on this. Uruguay has money for a soccer team but I’ve got to borrow against my grandchildren for their war with Russia?
THANKS BOLIVAR!
Uruguay is at war with Russia? Neat
I don’t see what all the excitement’s about; this is hardly the first time something unexpected from Columbia showed up in Miami.
How did he save that!?
¡PALO!
BAH GAWD, KING! THAT’S…THAT’S SUAREZ’S MUSIC! HE’S ON THE FIELD!
If only there was a product from Columbia that could help their players right now…
Oh yeah, they have a ton of coffee! Espressos for everyone!
Do they grow bananas in Colombia? Those are good for a burst of quick energy too!
Yes, but they’re only 10th worldwide in banana production.
I also checked pickles for any cramping issues, but they’re not even in the top 15.
10th total or per capita.
High per capita suggests there’s enough for the natives.
Total, I didn’t do any deep dive on these stats
And chocolate, a bit of caffeine along with carbs should help out!
Xavier McDonald is from Columbia, SC if that helps
My back still hurts. No idea why I’m not self medicating with weed.
Maybe you are and just forgot.
I need to take a break from the weed.
What’s an actual duration that is worthwhile?
I’m sure these are words in English, but they make no sense to me at all.
That’s pretty neat that Mark Linn-Baker coaches the team from Colombia.
I guess Mepos didn’t make it through qualifying.
Here’s a couple of favorites to chill with:

Chill road music? This song works in any playlist.
