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.

Musing of the Moment: Tottenham Defeat Man City
With Harry Kane not in the lineup, Tottenham defeated Premier League Champions Manchester City 1 to nil.
In contrast to the team's play during the Mourinho regime, Spurs played with spirit and grit. Man City did want they always do--dominate possession. So Nuno set up a formation you don't see that often, the Xmas tree formation: 4-3-2-1.
The often derided duo of Sanchez and Dier played quite well, so hopefully they will continue to do well under the new manager.
Tanganga earned "man of the match" with a stellar performance of flummoxing Graelish and Sterling on the left side.
Two players who rarely get much attention, Moura and Bergwijn, had outstanding performances. Bergwijn should have tapped home a goal to put Tottenham up 2-0, but he missed wide left. Dinking a volley over the keeper would have done the job.
I enjoyed Son playing in a striker role. I think can play anywhere up front.
If City really want Kane, they need to put together a serious offer soon, so Spurs can find someone before the transfer window closes.

Musing of the Moment: Start of the Premier League Season & "Sold"
The Premier League season got off to a crackin' start yesterday with Brentford, who haven't been in the top flight level of English football for 74 years, beating dreaded Arsenal 2-0.
Here are the highlights.

Music Friday: "Idiots Rule"
I'm a Vikings fan, and the low vaccination rate of the team is a major blemish on the NFL. And Kirk Cousins' comments about surrounding himself with plexiglass are astoundingly stupid.
The fact that the delta variant is creating havoc because of morons who aren't getting vaccinated is really angering me.
The whole situation reminds me of the this song.
However, I will say the idea of them "ruling" is a bit nuanced. They rule in a sense that we smart people have to go back to wearing masks because of their idiocy that has prevented herd immunity.
Ruling by dumbassery...
