We made it through Friday!

It’ll get worse before it gets better.

It’s easier to do that if you think of all of this as a public relations crisis rather, you know, a global health crisis, one which we might just be failing at most miserably.

Here’s something more cheery, though. Hope this guy gets to play in front of his dad all season.

Funny shows are funny. IUSTV’s Not Too Late has a new look and a new host. Here’s the first episode. It grabbed me straight away. I’m curious to see where they go with it from here:

The NBA playoffs are a sport where people throw a ball through a horizontally oriented hoop for points and fame. Learn more on the sports talk show, The Toss Up.

And Big Ten football is now officially coming back. The anchor is a guy I had in a freshman class a few years back.

I convinced a handful of his classmates into trying IUSTV, and they’re all still there. It’s pretty great.

Making it through the week

Look, this is after work, before dinner and before a mountain stage of the Tour de France. Even on the DVR, skipping the commercials, I still have several hours of watching the best riders in the world move their feet in tiny circles. And it starts at …

The Tour is usually in July. That it’s happening at all this year is pretty incredible. And the race has been entertaining, with potential for a great finish. But right about here, as we’re beginning Stage 18, you feel like you’re in the race, too. They’re doing the riding, but this is an endurance event for everyone. And, when it runs in the summer, I at least have a regular work schedule. But the split days of the fall … it’s an endurance event all its own.

Life, as they say, is tough.

Not really, but I could do for some more sleep. They ride onto the Champs-Élysées this weekend.

So trying to get everything in leaves me feeling a little ragged just now, but, most importantly, it’s worth it to see the TV folks do their thing:

Here’s some of the Tuesday programming:

They’re just a week in, finding their sea legs, and things are already moving efficiently.

It’s going to be a great year in the studio.

Being quick about it

Have you ever gotten to the end of a day and thought the aggravation wasn’t worth the minimal mental effort? Ever screen capped conversations and come back to them later, just to make sure you weren’t imagining them?

I’ve got about a half-dozen followup rhetorical questions, and the answer to all of them, of course, is “Yes. So what?”

Which, dear reader, is a profoundly on-point answer today.

Great column here:

This stuff is aggravating:

I think I started really riding bikes again 10-or-so years ago just as a release. Sometimes I remember that and today was one of those days.

I’ve been saving this story to share for just such a day. No! Really! I have a bunch of tabs open and this was one of them and I’ve been hanging on to it because the numbers are oddly inspiring. You’ll like this.

And, now, back to the bike race.

Just pulling some things together in the one spot

We’ve noticed we’ve saved a few bucks, since we’re eating all of our meals at the house. Cancelling vacations has helped, too.

Also, we’ve got a few more grocery operations, and we only go to the store every couple of weeks. Some of these habits will stick around for us.

He just wanted to talk about sports all the time. And he’s really good at that. Michael is proving to his boss and coworkers that he’s good at a lot of things in the newsroom. Of course, he’s been getting his fair of practice with bad weather.

This is the show where Michael got started. We miss him, but this year we’ve gained masks and they’re still going strong.

How do you do sports when you don’t have sports? Well …

We should get some sports news soon, maybe even tomorrow, or so we’re told.
