It is a three day weekend for a lot of us in North America. Yesterday was St. Valentine’s Day, which means that today you’re either exhausted from all the effort you went through yesterday to make it special or you’re scrambling to make up for the fact that you didn’t make it special enough.
That applies, of course, to those that celebrate. Many are blessed to be with partners that didn’t give two shits about Valentine’s Day. I count myself amongst the lucky few. So, aside from my wonderful luck, what is there to talk about?
Current Events
This week, Southern California got MORE much needed rain. This time it was a lot heavier than last time but it didn’t result in too much flooding.
My lawn is now a nice shade of green, which really is the most important thing here.
In other news, I played in my first tournament of the year this morning. I’m writing this on Friday night, so I don’t know yet how I did.
I’m playing golf again on Sunday with some folks from my other club. Next weekend will be another double-header with one tournament on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Sports Update
Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid played their first La Liga games after last week’s Derby. Barcelona plays on Monday. The league race is super tight with only two points separating the top three at the beginning of this round.
Toluca plays Guadalajara tonight in hot Sexy Mexy Liga MX action!

Steelers Update
The Steelers will play a game in Ireland next year and will be deemed the host team. The opponent had not been named but it will most likely not be an AFC North team.
That leaves the following teams as the likely candidates: Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks. My money is on the Green Bay Packers.

In this space, I will tell you what I’m drinking as I type this post. Today’s drink is: Mountain Dew Baja Blast Zero. They are finally selling it in stores as opposed to just Taco Bell. I found it at Smart n Final but it may be available elsewhere.

One last thing:
There is no sense in worrying about shit you have no control over. Do your best, take care of your shit, and be ready to adapt. Darwin would approve.
On board, unpacked, spa appointments made, all in under 30 minutes! And the sommelier remembers me, lol
Watched 2 more of the best picture nominees.
The Substance and Nickle Boys.
Nickle Boys was excellent. Odd use of perspective but it worked.
Balls?
Calling Balls!
You must watch The Substance.
As an ass man?
Neither one will win best picture but they were both worth the watch.
And that’s a shame because the Colston Whitehead book was life changing.
Watched some of the first SNL and my impression is…how is this still on the air 50 years later and wasn’t immediately canceled?
It was not good.
It evolved into something else very quickly. Those really early episodes were much more of an old school variety show.
Plus, what helped was it was the 1970s so there was no Internet and Social Media to bash it and Cable TV for people to tune out. It had time to develop and grow.
Exactly.
Real water cooler shit because everybody watched the same show.
Remember when Roots first aired?
/ am old
Everybody in the school watched that shit.
There’s no common thing to compare that to.
It really is about the chemistry with the troup.
And cocaine.
I weighed my back pack in Singapore when I first arrived and it was 13.5 kg. With the addition of a full bottle of gin I bet it’s up to 15 kg.
With just a little bit of effort I bet you can get that back to 13.5 commie units.
Nah, this gin is coming back with me. Plenty of other stuff to drink in the meantime

Thanks for clearing that up, because I was wondering what Zombie Michael O’Donoghue, Zombie John Belushi, Zombie Chevy Chase and Zombie George Carlin was doing on my screen.
What? Chevy isn’t dead. Well, that’s our loss.
He’s almost there. Stings tantric sex wife is in this Midsomer, it’s an oldie from the late 90’s.
I’m convinced he died in the late ’90s, but the Grim Reaper doesn’t want to claim him because that means he’ll have to have a car ride with him as they go into the Afterlife.
Midsomer was good.
I’d of tightened up the editing but that’s just me.
Found the seahorses for Gumbygirl!
Oh hey, they both posted! Better add another pic then

So.
I found myself still rooting for USA Hockey even though I’m not rooting for USA The Country right now. We got the hockey win, hopefully Canadia and Europe get the bigger win.
Yup. That’s why I was rooting for USA Hockey. The pride stops there.

There ya go, dagger. I’m switching to Midsomer Murders, later taters
27 seconds left and Canada is passing to set up a shot.
How do you say ‘idiots’ in Canadian?

USA is aware they’re allowed to play fucking offense, right?
Parking the bus against Canada for 20 minutes is certainly a choice.
