I mean, we still do have the banners and the trophies, right? What good are they doing sitting in a closet, and what's the difference whether they're kept in the dark or in the light of day? If I were the U, I'd take the position that displaying them makes no statement as to their validity...

Ha, my 27-year-old daughter enjoyed Los Lobos last night...for a while. She bolted a little more than halfway through the show, which she said in advance she was going to do. A nice surprise: Rosie Flores--who'd played two sets at the same stage that afternoon--joined Los Lobos on stage for the...

It's almost unbelievable how prolific Charlie Crockett has been. If my count is right, he put out three albums between the time I purchased the concert tickets and when the show was played. Good thing I gave it a good couple listens: he played several selections from it Saturday. Dollar A Day...

Wait, what?! Arrested Development!? How was it? I'm headed there Tuesday. Rosie Flores is playing two sets in the afternoon, and Los Lobos performs in the evening. To boot, Wild Horses--who opened for Charlie Crockett the other night--is out there as well.

Thanks for the map, Blizzard. I really don't know whether this was inevitable eventually, but I didn't see it coming. In any case, my wife and I were talking about how this will affect things, and she thinks people are generally going to pony up for the $25. That might be true, but I'm not sure...

It's practically perfect in every way, including restroom and amenities/concessions availability, the architecture of the built features, and--you mentioned it--the legroom! Denver is usually so cheap to fly to. My wife and I have said (but still need to put our money where our mouth is)...

We can agree to disagree, but from someone like me--who's bored with most television these days--it's the furthest thing from a terrible show. It holds my interest when I tune in. It's very entertaining and funny, and it has high production standards compared with its direct competitors. That's...

I had a first date at Sgt Prestons after we saw a free preview screening of Planes, Trains and Automobiles at Willey Hall. That would have been November 1987, I guess. Successful first date. 😏🔥

I just remember their bottles were always cheap, and I always got Moosehead. Moosehead is good head; remember that! Do they even make that anymore??

It'll probably become like McDonalds with the McRib: programmed scarcity. Last time they had them available, they announced a "final" date of retiring them, so my wife and I went over there and gorged. To be honest, the ingredients were what I'd remembered, but the bread wasn't quite the same...

When this "paying players" thing first hit, my immediate prediction was that it was just going to become another in a series of money pits for fans...which it did. But at least fans have the choice whether to opt in or not. Students are involuntary captives to the leeching.

If there are any Trekkies out there (in here), you owe it to yourself to buy this series: These Are The Voyages Exhaustive chronicles of the production of the original series, including story development and ratings--which have not been well known or available over the years (as Nielson was not...

Who's going to Charley Crockett at Surly Field? (I am.)

I feel like this is basically wrong.

Turkey with everything
