Why were we wearing Bills pajama material on our shoulders??? That was very ferocious.

I’ve heard of him.

You mean, like Ladd McConkey? Hey, I’m just here to be entertained.

My wife was friends with a lady who is married to a very well known rock musician. We’d have dinner at their place, and he’d have multiple R&R HOF people there joining us a different times. He’s a British guy who made his money doing the loud rock stuff I was never into. What does he listen to at home? Usually The Beatles.

Yes, the under is a good bet here.

I’m going to keep watching. I’m just sure there is a maybe in there somewhere, and I don’t want to miss it. Yeah, I’m curious to see if there is anything he might be able to do well, or at least better.

The Ryman was the home of the original Grand Ole Opry downtown going back to the 40’s. They moved from downtown in 1974 to northeast of town and it is now located by the Gaylord Opryland Resort. Both venues are still very cool, and they needed more room for all there is going on. We’ve stayed at that hotel, and it’s super cool, and enormous! The resort has a crazy water park only available to hotel guests. The resort interior has canals with gondola rides and New Orleans style sections of rooms looking out onto lush atrium gardens. I recommend it for lunch if just to see it for people who have the time. And that concludes our little history lesson. .

All kidding aside, it’s something that is dearly needed around here. People get very worked up about things that they have no control over. That is a recipe for unhappiness. The Serenity Prayer is easy to say, but much harder to live. We’ve had a lot of practice, and it can still be a challenge at times. I can become ashamed of myself when I get too worked up. It’s not good for me or for anyone around me. So I try harder. .

He always starts on his best behavior with full effort. This should be no surprise to anyone, but how long will it last? Let’s not forget he turns 32 in a couple weeks. This will most likely be his last little hurrah before his decline. I hope he melts down again before retiring so he can be remembered for what he was: extremely talented but usually a PITA to have around. .

The Listening Room is a small venue downtown that is acoustic music from singer/songwriters. It’s awesome, if you like that kind of stuff. The honkey tonk stuff on Broadway would wear me out in a hurry, but this is a nice change of pace if you ever find yourself in Nashville.

It’s funny you mention the Spin Doctors. They opened for the Blues Travelers at the Ryman Auditorium a few weeks ago I mentioned seeing just above. They were never “my thing” but we loved seeing the Ryman, a great old venue that was a nice size for me.

I think this is good advice for everyone. It will lead to a more pleasant and satisfying life. Why make yourself crazy over stuff you cannot control? AI Overview The Serenity Prayer is a popular prayer asking for the serenity to accept things one cannot change, the courage to change the things one can, and the wisdom to know the difference. It is widely associated with Reinhold Niebuhr, a Lutheran theologian, and has been adopted by groups like Alcoholics Anonymous as a core part of their program. The main message is to focus on what is within one's control while accepting what is not, promoting inner peace and strength

That is why I half kid.

But we get……ESPN. OK, I’ll quit for a while.

Do I have to pay $20 EXTRA to get rid of ESPN?
