Dramady Tonight

So many sitcoms today don’t appeal to me. The Neighborhood started off good but went downhill, like so many shows. I like most all the main characters in Young Sheldon – the boy, his siblings and parents, grandmother and her friends: legendary stars Annie Potts, Craig T Nelson, Reba, and the squirrelly little man from Princess Bride. 

Not a fan of the preacher. Mom works at church, and there are several storylines that involve religion. Most times “religion” is ridiculed but in the end principles like Jesus, love, and faith shine through. Sheldon doesn’t believe in God, but his arguments don’t hold much weight. He respects his mother, who is often seen praying for her family. Before meals there is a blessing.

Young Sheldon is based on the boyhood of the main character in Big Bang Theory, another show that started off great, but devolved when it added additional characters like girlfriends for three of the four main characters.

New sitcom about a car company is terrible. Comes on after Jeopardy. No other shows that I watch besides Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. I think I’ve watched all those shows. Ceil’s Heartland, a Canadian show about people on a small horse ranch, is good. 15 seasons to watch. She is re-watching White Collar, the FBI show that’s okay.

I need to watch The Dick Van Dyke Show. It was just before my time. King of Queens, The Office, and Parks & Recreation are other shows I need to keep watching. Ceil was goaded by her friends to watch some PBS show, but it wasn’t to my liking. Don’t think she liked it either.

There used to be a Saturday morning cartoon called Johnny Quest. Just learned Johnny was voiced by actor Tim Matheson when he was a boy. He was also on Leave It to Beaver, and a contemporary of Kurt Russell. Russell was once on Gilligan’s Island, as well as several Disney movies. They don’t make those like they used to.

The old funny papers. Used to read The Phantom all the time. Finally started reading Steve Canyon after several years of passing over it. Dick Tracy, Peanuts. Never could get into Little Orphan Annie. Her eyes freaked me out, and I was scared of Daddy Warbucks. Now he’s my favorite character. Terry and The Pirates wasn’t in the Atlanta Journal or Macon Telegraph. Don’t remember it being in the AJC on Sunday.

My monitors at work are hard to read. Not sure if it is the brightness or what, or if I need new monitors. I need to swap them out, but I hate messing with all the wires. I can adjust the brightness on my laptop but not when it is plugged in at work. Also need to make my little cursor arrow thing more noticeable. I move it around but can’t find it on the screen.

Sol Catering ? I had to check out their website. Looks good.

Drove Anna to the airport Wednesday morning early. Left home at 5:40 am. Picked her up at 6:20. Dropped her off at the South Terminal well before 7 am for her 8:10 flight to Denver. Made it to work by 7:20, a trip of 75 miles. One hour 40 minutes.

Anna and one other lady are attending the Outdoor Recreation Show at the Denver convention Center with the husband & wife owners of High Country. So Anna will have input on what the store sells for the next year. She flies back on Friday and then travels to Boone NC to snow ski.

Tuesday: work wore me out, but I managed to keep going until 5:30. Made several stops on the way home: Goodwill to (1) drop off a bunch of giveaways and (2) quickly browse the store, (3) the bank ATM that wasn’t working and (4) one that did, (5) McDonalds for a chicken sandwich, and (6) a convenience store.

Ceil was at her ministry, so I watched Jeopardy and Young Sheldon, then Heartland later.

McDonalds is coming out with a Chicken Big Mac.

CARL YASTRZEMSKI  [SABR Bio] was the first American League player to collect 3,000 hits and 400 home runs. Had 3,319 hits and 453 HR (since joined by Cal Ripken and Alex Rodriguez). Helped that he also racked up the most at-bats in American League history - 11,988 career ABs. Despite his power, he needed 2,294 games finally to clout three home runs in one game. His grandson, however, only needed 70 games to accomplish that. Yaz’s first 3-HR game was 19-May-1976; Mike Yastrzemski’s first 3-HR game was 16-Aug-2019.
