Out of touch With the weather and the wind direction With the sunrise And the phases of the moon Out of touch With life in the land of the loving With the living night And the darkness at high noon You can never break the chain There is never love without pain A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

They might be...I did not check. But his breakout 3rd year happened in empty stadiums until the playoffs, and the team's struggles in KC were partly due to crowd noise. Dealing with that is a point of emphasis this year, so I'll trust they will be well-prepared for it.

RIP NTP?

When I drink soda, it's usually club soda/seltzer/soda water (whatever your part of the word calls it). When I venture away from that, it typically is a "clear" soda like Sprite. When I'm feeling really wild, I'll grab an orange Fanta.

Nice interview...but what's the point of having a "socially distanced" setup if you end it with a handshake?? I think this team's ability to play away games in loud hostile stadiums will be key...the 17K in KC definitely impacted things. JA says that is a big focus; I hope he's right.

552 miles from my home in IL...9 hrs or so

Too many rapids Keep us sweeping along Too many captains Keep on steering us wrong It's hard to take the heat It's hard to lay blame To fight the fire While we're feeding the flames

Went to college in Vermont a long time ago and made regular trips across the border just to buy beer. Always liked when the boarder agent asked how long we would be in Canada and we answered "about 15 minutes."

Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go I wanna be sedated Nothing to do, nowhere to go, oh I wanna be sedated Just, get me to the airport, put me on a plane Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain Oh no oh-oh oh-oh

Watched Mare of Easttown (HBO Max). Pretty compelling police procedural / f'd up family drama combo. 7 episode limited series, so not a huge time commitment. Also just wrapped the final season of Bosch (Amazon Prime). What a great series. Blasted through all 7 seasons over that last 2 months.

We go out in the world and take our chances Fate is just the weight of circumstances That's the way that Lady Luck dances Roll the bones Roll the bones

In the pool? Not since I was 5. A lake or the ocean, however...all bets are off.

Cold fire (cold fire, cold fire) It's such a cold fire (cold fire, cold fire) It's a cold fire (cold fire, cold fire) It's a cold fire (cold fire) It was long after midnight When we got to unconditional love She said "sure my heart is boundless but don't push my limits too far" I said "if love is so transcendent, I don't understand these boundaries" She said "just don't disappoint me, you know how complex women are"

Mama take this badge from me I can't use it anymore It's getting dark too dark to see Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs Dances on the edge of his dream And her voice rings in his ears Like the music of the spheres The boy lies in the grass, unmoving Staring at the sky His mother starts to call him As a hawk goes soaring by The boy pulls down his baseball cap And covers up his eyes

in honor of JA's big deal... I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas. I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge. I've got lots of lovely lire. Now the Deutschmark's getting dearer, And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge. There is nothing quite as wonderful as money. There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash. Some people say it's folly, But I'd rather have the lolly. With money you can make a splash.

Well, I get up at seven, yeah And I go to work at nine I got no time for livin' Yes, I'm workin' all the time It seems to me I could live my life A lot better than I think I am I guess that's why they call me They call me the workin' man

So close, no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words, I don't just say And nothing else matters

Tuesday afternoon is never ending Wednesday morning papers didn't come Thursday night your stockings needed mending See how they run Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Is he an author?

Wheel within wheels in a spiral array A pattern so grand and complex Time after time we lose sight of the way Our causes can't see their effects

Oh where, oh where can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world

I watched the first episode last night. Pretty entertaining, but may be a tough premise to keep interesting all series (and I enjoy a good musical). Episode 1 was good. Also watched the first episode of this last night. Really well-done and will definitely watch more. That said, I really wish Rick Rubin would put on some f'ing shoes.

It is the engine that drives itself But it chooses the uphill climb A bearing on magnetic north Growing farther away all the time Can't stop moving Can't stop moving Can't stop You may be right It's all a waste of time I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take A danger I'm prepared to face Cut to the chase
