- A new year and decade but still very random.
- It is now the trend for good college football players to skip bowl games unless they are part of the championship playoffs. Afraid of injury prior to a big NFL signing.
- I wonder how generals and admirals get so many ribbons and medals to wear on their uniforms. They haven't been on any front line in years.
- Sometimes a word looks more correct when it is misspelled.
- It's probably time to check all those subscriptions you have. Netflix, the digital newspaper, magazines, Hulu, etc. Most are $5 to $20 per month and easy to lose track of. Did any of those free trials automatically turn into monthly charges?
- Remember to pace yourself. MMXX is a leap year so there is an extra day to navigate.
- I saw several ads for Flirty Dancing on Fox during football games. Is there really a big audience crossover for a reality/dating/dance show for those who watch football?
- Just like sports teams, God and Jesus are not on the "side" of any one country. It's people, not geographical or political boundaries that are important.
- How much would it cost to stream everything on TV worth watching? Local channels, basic cable, expanded cable, sports, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO/Max, Showtime, Starz, Apple TV+, Disney+, CBS All Access, etc. More are coming. They all have at least a program or two worth watching. It was so much easier and cheaper when there were only three over the air channels.
- I just realized that people born in 1970 will be 50 years old in 2020.
- If you are going to commit a crime, make sure it is a white-collar crime. You can steal millions and get off with probation or minimal jail time.
- It seems the new food buzzword is plant-based. It may displace gluten-free, which has had a good run.
- Extinct species: liberal Republicans, conservative Democrats. Moderates on both sides are endangered. Our country is worse off for this.
- Wouldn't it be great if the music and commercials on TV programs weren't 30 decibels louder than the dialogue?
- Halfway between the truth and a lie is still a lie.
- Those who say the Iraq war was the worst foreign policy mistake in modern history may be forgetting the Vietnam War. They are both worst. Many American casualties in each one. Many dollars spent.
- Global warming seems to be becoming global hotting.
- To be a politician, one must perfect fake indignation.
- They also have to be able to change your beliefs 180° at the drop of a hat.
- I just saw an advertisement for a backpack. One of the selling points is it is ANTI-THEFT PROOF. I don't think I want one. English is hard.
- It's amazing how often a headline or TV tease is completely misleading. You gotta dig deeper.
