Psych marathon has me glued to the TV.

Next edition of The Essential Sports Podcast has been recorded. In this episode, we talk about new head football coaches coming to Prairiland and Detroit ISD. We also discuss ESPN’s H-O-R-S-E debacle, potential disaster for the NFL Draft and looking on the bright side for the Texas Rangers! Be sure to check it out here.

Really trying to branch out and try new “local” restaurants during this quarantine. I’ve tried three new places that I’ve never had before and all three were great.

What is it about waking up late that just throws your entire day off? This is how my Thursday is going.

Top five list for today’s podcast: Top five current DFW athletes.

Going to be honest here. The first four were super easy. Number five gave me some fits.

Let’s Discuss Homescreens

Let’s discuss homescreens. Actually, lets discuss my homescreen. I used to obsessively try and get the perfect homescreen. I wanted a combination of the right icons but they also had to look good together. I would organize them by color a lot of times. I also wanted a dark background so the app icons stood out (I have included an example picture below from October 2018). That’s around the time I started reimagining my homescreen.

Social Distancing

After work I decided to go for a walk. It was so nice out on the trail. I decided to take a few pictures.

I think this guy is going to hate me going back to work.

Seriously considering starting a microcast.

When I was researching today’s sportscast, I came across this interesting piece of information:

Until 1936, basketball had a jump ball at center court after every single made basket.

Being able to adjust Alexa’s volume with your voice is so great.

My wife and I had this conversation the other night so I bring it to you:

Is Wizard of Oz the movie Judy Garland is most known for?

Also, what is Angela Lansbury most known for?

Nobody is home except for me and the cats. That means I can dance to music that’s playing right? I think it’s perfectly fine but my cat is looking at me like this is unacceptable.

Sports Held Hostage: Day 32

I was really excited about the NBA/WNBA HORSE challenge that was going to be shown on ESPN tonight. I got ready to watch it and I was 100% disappointed. The idea was great. The pairings were great. The execution was terrible! I understand the social distancing thing and not having a lot of people together. However, you mean to tell me the best and only way to broadcast this event was over phones and WiFi?

Tap dancing is an art form that I will never get tired of.

A Different Easter Sunday

This was the weirdest Easter Sunday I can remember in my lifetime. For the first time, we didn’t go to church. Now, church came to us via the miracle of the internet but it was still different. I still had dinner with my parents but everything else was different. Well, not everything. Just because the circumstances surrounding Easter Sunday were different, that doesn’t change one thing: Jesus is Alive! No pandemic can change that.

Dinner is about to go in the oven. Spinach stuffed chicken breasts. One of our favorite meals.

Selfish Much?

Was at a grocery store a little while ago and I overheard this conversation between two elderly men. This is what one of them said to the other: “This is BS. The whole thing. I’m not wearing a mask. If we lose a million people in population, that won’t phase me one bit.” And that is what’s wrong with our society.
