88th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
My grass is all but dead. But I haven't mowed in almost two years. So, there's that.
50 days later, the story of Peyton's stolen car is closed. Car recovered. Insurance battles fought. Car totaled. Insurance check has arrived.
I swear my Independence Kroger programs their music for me. I heard Shout It Out Loud (KISS) and Hold Your Head Up (Argent) this week.
How about that Chicago PD finale? Wow.
Ever play a three coin football game during your lunch hour in school? You had to push them in a triangle? I think.
Kelly bought us a Master Lock for our new Buzz Bicycles. She accidentally slid one of the four numbers as she was setting her chosen combination. We are locked out. That's my new default answer of "Well, at least I didn't........"
Don't worry about things you don't care about
Anything more exciting as a kid than being dropped off at the mall, or riding your bike there, and hanging out with friends....no parents. Big time.
I watched a YouTube video on how to properly roll a burrito. I struggle. Never get it right.
The two batting stances I most mimicked in the backyard were Joe Morgan and Rod Carew.
Family diner Saturday night to celebrate Peyton's 22nd birthday and Casey's 21st bone marrow transplant anniversary! Blessed!
My mom was the neighborhood Kool-Aid mom. She made the pitcher up during breaks from wiffleball. The cups were the Dixie cups with jokes on them.
I'll say it again: Paper plates are outrageously expensive.
One of my favorite TV police characters all-time: Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick), The Closer. So quirky. So good.
That new Morgan Wallen and Post Malone song is excellent: I Had Some Help.
Cool baseball website I use every day: Baseball Reference.
I like highlighting local athletes and under-the-radar stuff. I think it's an obligation for a show like Sports Talk. Feel free to email me: lance@lancemcalister.com
Kroger has Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots! And they are are sale.
Anyone have unopened athlete Wheatie boxes? I have a Pete Rose and Johnny Bench.
Fantastic early 2000's show: Boston Legal. Excellent cast. "Denny Crane!"
The “batting average” and “pitcher W-L” crowd is also now the “error crowd”....There are so many better ways to judge performances in 2024.
I spent two college summers living with my neighbors and running their house, taking care of two boys, doing errands, etc. I was Charles in Charge.
Top three coolest things to find in your lunchbox as a kid: Hostess Fruit Pie, Ding Dong, Ho-Ho. Those were untouchables on the lunchroom trade market.
There is something really odd going on with how some view Elly. It's almost Votto-like in the obsessive criticism. Yet, it's not money. Weird.
