We’re back in Bloomington. The race was Saturday. We all recovered a bit on Sunday. The recovery continued through an arduous return to the crossroads. We had a crew exchange problem during a layover in Minnesota. We stayed there longer than it would have taken to rent a car and drive down to our car. So we sat in airports a lot, big deal.
Anyway, on Sunday, we took an Uber for Whataburger:
Pretty chipper after a full day of racing.
We went to Rudy’s, a local barbecue chain, for dinner with friends Sunday night. Our driver that night said it was the best nearby option. He let you know there are better places out there, but within an easy Uber ride? This was the spot. And the food was great. The signage wasn’t bad, either.
And that’s a wrap for me as News Director! It’s been such an incredible experience, and although I’m sad to go, I know I’m leaving @iustvnews in great hands. https://t.co/0Ucw0QrMXa
The end of tonight’s production means we’re down to the final shoot of the school year. Sports will have the honor on Thursday evening. Tonight, the IUSTV crew produced two news shows, with the new news director stepping into her role. We said goodbye to handful of seniors and this whole process is repeated about eight times over the last two weeks of studio shoots. Anyway, those news shows will be online tomorrow. New today is the late night show. You can watch it here:
With the days getting blessedly longer, I can actually see more and more daylight. This evening I even left the studio in time to see a bit of the sunset.
So there I was, standing on the top level of the parking deck, looking off to the west thinking, what would this look like in black and white?
I should probably keep this one in mind, don’t you think?
A couple of boxes were waiting at the door this weekend. My mom sent me a few nice gifts, including these handsome turtle cufflinks. These will go with anything!
There were several other sets of cufflinks, and so now I have a very large collection that will require their own storage solution. Presently I’m using a few sections of one of my bathroom drawers to keep them organized. Yes, I have drawer sections, don’t you? Sometime back I cross sectioned balsa wood to keep all the contents from sliding around. I put in a bit of foam for cufflinks. I cut some slits into the foam so my cufflinks would all be neatly arranged in pairs.
What? This isn’t something you did one Saturday morning, too?
Anyway, I lately made some cufflinks out of buttons. My purchased cufflinks nicely filled one section of that draw. Then I made some more out of buttons I found. That became two sections of my bathroom drawer. This weekend my cufflinks grew by several more pairs. So I’m going to have to come up with another solution. Maybe a custom drawer or storage box.
And, most importantly, my wrists look snazzy.
Here’s some television to watch online. First, the Not Too Late crowd put a new co-host character on their show. He’s a bit nervous, and that worked pretty well. It is even funnier if you know the guy, who isn’t nervous about anything, really. They also had an extemporaneous student government campaign, which was quite amusing. This was a good episode:
The morning show got all civic-minded with a city council member:
And a throwback bit from the old pros:
It is sadly easy to forget how David Letterman could (and can) do so much by doing so little … and waiting on Paul to get out of the way.https://t.co/MQJClTyXV9
Here are some television shows some of our students have put together the last few days. First, a late night show, and then a morning show. You’re covered no matter what time of day you’re reading this.
