Taylor Swift > KC Chiefs

“NEWS” – so Taylor Swift attends the Chiefs game as a guest of TE Travis Kelce. Supposedly they are an item. My daughter is all over the development. What could go wrong? Plenty. Maybe Swift can get him to stop wearing those godawful yellow shoes. Steeler LC Greenwood can pull them off, but not Kelce.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be the best team in the AFC, but they’re no match for Taylor Swift. Expect some other team to win the Super Bowl. You heard it here first.

Players I’d rather be dating Taylor Swift than Travis Kelce. Really I don’t know who is married or dating or single. Most of the Braves seem to have significant others. Taylor is 33, right? And if not Taylor Swift, these guys should date my coworker Rachel, who is also quite the catch.

1. Micah Owings, but he’s too wise to date Taylor.

2. Max Fried (have you seen his girlfriend?). But Taylor would pull a Chelsea Freeman and make Max sign with the Dodgers.

3. Stetson Bennett. Never count him out.

4. Younghoe Koo

5. Tobert from Only Murders in the Building. Now that would be a good-looking couple.

6. Ohtani. Another good-looking couple.

7. UGA TE Brock Bowers

8. Ben Reese from work

9. Matthew Murphy

10. Anyone but Kelce

Georgia State looked good. Georgia Southern beat UAB, who didn’t look too bad Saturday night at UGA. Tech has improved. Play Bowling Green this weekend.

Yesterday I had hoped to wash the cars, but I didn’t get around to it. Last night we ate at Superica on Howell Mill. Next to the Optimist. Valet parking. Good stuff.

Winnie has an ear infection, probably from allergies.

Last week Mary-Clayton took Shivonne to the Disney on Ice matinee. Shiv loved the princesses but not so much the cars and genies.

Today Anna and Caleb have been married for 6 months. Last night they went to Houston’s on Peachtree to celebrate.

New employee started today, so boss took us to Que, the BBQ restaurant. I had the combo plate with brisket and pork. Brisket was better. Also sweet potato casserole and baked beans. Should’ve picked something other than the beans.

This morning I got an early start at the gym, so I did four sets of ten instead of three. Also did 10 different exercises instead of 8 or 9, so I’m more tired than usual. The big lunch didn’t help. Hopefully I can plop on the couch tonight (I am).

Friday is month end AND physical inventory AND the last day before SAP training starts. Might have to work Saturday morning. The perfect storm. Ugh.

Denison on dress codes: New York Times columnist Rhonda Garelick noted “dress codes are a marker of social, national, professional, or philosophical commonality.” Accordingly, a dress code for the Senate “does remind senators and everyone around them (including the general public) of the still-noble goal of consensus. A sum greater than its parts.”

Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan identified a larger cultural narrative at work: Americans “want to be respected but no longer think we need to be respectable. We are in a crisis of political comportment. We are witnessing the rise of the classless. Our politicians are becoming degenerate. This has been happening for a while but gets worse as the country coarsens. We are defining deviancy ever downward.”
