I've been on a Noah Kahan kick lately.
So here's "Northern Attitude."
This blog will host my ramblings about life. To be a bit more specific, I'll probably focus on these subjects: music, sports, food, the everyday beauty of life, and the comedy/tragedy/absurdity of our existence. That about covers it.
I've been on a Noah Kahan kick lately.
So here's "Northern Attitude."
This is a variation of a recipe I got from The Washington Post. It's damn good.

Jackson Browne is such a great musician and songwriter. I got turned on to his stuff again after watching him perform on Austin City Limits.
Also, I think this would be a good tune to play after an umpire makes a bad call.
On Valentines Day, YouGov had its three daily questions focus on love and relationships and such.
The first question was, "Throughout your life, how many people have you been in love with?" Here's how the percentages broke down when I took the survey:
After watching his performance on Austin City Limites, I've gotten into Noah Kahan's music lately.
Here's a great tune from Stick Season.
I found a recipe for salmon loaf on the InterWebs and modified it a little. It's pretty easy to make, but you need to create some kind of dill- or lemon-based sauce to put over it.

The lead singer of American Aquarium put out his top ten or twenty list of best albums of 2023 a while back, and the album that was number one was Steven Wilson Jr.'s Son of Dad.
So I picked it up, and I like it. I'm not a person who automatically gravitates toward county-like music, but Wilson Jr. is more Americana music, and you can tell he has a wide background in types of music.
Here are "Grief Is Only Love" and "Cuckoo."
Watching Northern Exposure with all its Red Hook beer advertising reminds me of one of my favorite breweries. I drank my fair share of Red Hook ESBs and Long Hammer IPAs. Strangely enough, I drank lots of Red Hook, a beer made in Seattle, when I lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I've never seen it around these parts, unfortunately. And now they have all kinds of interesting IPAs that I can't get my hands on.
I searched for it on Binny's website, and all I got was squat.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that show, Northern Exposure. It has to be my favorite TV series of all time. I'm so glad Amazon made it available on Prime.
Because of a possible "wintry mix," the schools around here did not have have classes. All it did was rain. The silliness of people who aren't used to snow...
I've seen a trend recently of mid-size cities or larger cities making people their area's poet laureate. When did this move of laureating poets in places like Mobile and Mufreesboro start to happen?
I'm not against it or anything. In fact, I like it because it supports the artistic community, but I'm just wondering when this trend started.
Who started the laureating fire? And where else will it spread to?
NPR has an interesting article out about the "Nones," who are apparently the largest group in the US in regard to religion. I fit into that group because I'm a highly skeptical agnostic.
The article is "Religious 'Nones' Are Now the Largest Single Group in the U.S."
The good news to me is that this group is growing and they are likely to be liberal. In addition, apparently Evangelicals is a group that's shrinking. More good news.
I'm working from home on this snowy Friday, and I'm listening to my iPod on shuffle. This song came up.
So enjoy.
