Good morning. Lets get this show going. DJ play that music. Cue up the Soundgarden

Ted Lasso

It’s now been revealed that negotiations have begun for Ted Lasso Season 4, which will start filming next year. Three Main characters have already been given contracts, and more contracts are on the way. This looks like it could be just the thing Apple drops at its big iPhone event in early September. It’s a rather big deal as it’s probably Apple’s most successful TV show element they’ve done to date.

Good Friends

We enjoyed having our good neighbors and our friend Brad over last night for drinks and food. We had good laughs. But having gotten up at 5:30 a.m. for a golf tournament, I was exhausted by 10 p.m. It made for a long day. Several good conversations were had: Padres, politics, and other neighbors. Then we got onto the subject of birthdays, as one of them likes to celebrate his birthday for an entire month.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who celebrate their birthday for a day, and those who celebrate their birthday for an entire month. The latter are a special breed, declaring a personal “birth-month” holiday that rivals any national celebration. They demand cakes on random Tuesdays, expect surprise parties on workdays, and insist on wearing a “Birthday Queen” sash from dawn till dusk. Friends and family find themselves trapped in a perpetual loop of gift-giving, cake-eating, and confetti-throwing, wondering if they should buy a calendar with 31 fewer days just to survive next year. Meanwhile, the “birth-month” celebrants bask in their seemingly endless glory, toasting themselves with a bottomless glass of champagne, while everyone else is left with empty wallets and a growing desire to hibernate until the next cycle begins.

Now, where can I get that calendar without that month?

RFK Jr.

So RFK Jr. had to make a weird press announcement on Friday. He’s suspending his campaign and taking his name off the ballot of ten swing states. His name will still be on the ballot in all the remaining ones, and he’s encouraging people to vote for him.

Later in the day, some of the other Kennedys put out a statement. Now these aren’t RFK Jr’s kids. These are his brothers and sisters. Christmas just got fun now.

I love how they all say my dad would have wanted this. He would have wanted that. Sorry, RFK Jr, would your dad have also liked you having such a deep substance abuse problem and linked to so many extramarital affairs? You drop the dad remark when it’s convenient. It’s a card you like to play. How about playing that card also when you’re a deep disappointment?

Lastly…..

Cubs player Pete-Crow Armstrong is a solid center fielder. He’s been hitting well lately, but what he’s most known for is his speed, which he demonstrated here.

Have a good Sunday!
