@Mr Janny and I have an appt over lunch today that requires my car, so we spent an exorbitant amount of time figuring out where and when we would meet so he could drive my car. Because he drives 99.99999% of the time and we both like it that way.
What is your preferred spot in a car? Driver, or shotgun? Or maybe middle-back? Do you have any special reasons - like, I hate riding long distances in the back because I get motion sickness.
Jon Spelman, who played center for the dirty 30, died this week in Waco, Texas.
His nephew is a good friend of mine. He tailgated with us several years ago at the Jack. Nice man.
With Andor wrapping up a phenomenal season 2, I was thinking about what my favorite TV show's single season? For me, it has to be True Detective Season 1.
Great writing, fantastic acting, chilling, all around great. Others?
Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X.
Coleman has a small but STACKED bracket. He’ll wrestle Keckeisen first round.
Ian Parker got the 3 seed and he’ll face Ridge Lovett in the first round. That will be a tough one.
With the schedule coming out tonight is there a game you are looking forward to?
I will probably go to a game this year, it couldn't be the weekend of a Cyclones home game and will need to have a Cyclone presence on a team.
A few I am considering
49ers at Browns
Jets at Bills
Lions at Philadelphia
Jets at Denver (hoping for same week as CU game)
49ers at Colts
Texans at Titans
Any game in Detroit
Any others standout?
I should add I would like to go somewhere new. GB, MN, Chicago and KC are out.

Just noticed that ISU plays Houston Christian Dec 29. The head coach of HCU is Craig Doty. Craig coached Graceland University (where I taught for 20 years) when Graceland won the national title in 2018. Will be fun to see him back in Iowa again.
Already announced at least two other closings in Cheyenne, WY and Loveland, CO.
We've bought boots, shoes, water bottles, jackets, etc. there over the years. Not sure where else to find some of what they offered in hiking boots and shoes.
