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.

Because I watched The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, I learned about Emmanuel Acho's YouTube series "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man." Here's the first episode, and I hope there will be many more.
An email recently notified me that my three-pack of Vikings masks will ship soon. I think my favorite is the top one.
I hope the Vikings sign Kaepernick to be the back-up to Cousins. Tim Scott leading the GOP effort to reduce police brutality is like making Franklin solve everything wrong in the Peanuts world.
I'm not surprised by the report that Jake Fromm texted folks that guns should be expensive and only "elite white people" should have them: "Jake Fromm Apologizes..."
I would imagine the reaction of police officers would be quite different if the groups protesting over George Floyd were packing handguns and rifles like the protesters who went to statehouses over two weeks ago at Moscow Don's egging on. Some people think the 2nd Amendment only applies to certain people. Regardless, those folks are not a "well-regulated militia," a key phrase in one of the most poorly worded sentences in the English language. The early Republic relied on militias because the founders were wary of large standing armies. Militias were also used to quell slave rebellions. As we've seen via social media, how can people still be upset over people taking knees during the national anthem?
