so, might as well start off with the Ohio State game for the blog today. they defeated Texas last night, 28-14, to win the Cotton Bowl. that also puts them in the national championship game against Notre Dame on January 20th in Atlanta.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

one more win to go...
Friday, January 10, 2025
so, today was one of those days...
i had to mail out a book today. i got everything ready and went into the garage to start the Highlander. it wouldn't start. well fuck me. so, i called AAA and they said they would give me a jump in about 90 minutes. ok. 90 minutes later, the guy was pulling up into the driveway. nicely played. he gave me a jump. said the battery looks fine, the sensors said it just needed charged, but said you should probably get a charger for here in the garage. good point. mom has ordered one from Amazon today. she went with me to the post office so i wouldn't have to turn the Highlander off. i got the book mailed and we went back home. i started the Highlander back up to get the mail before the snow started. thankfully, it started right up and was good. once that charger gets here, i'm going to make sure it stays charged, at least through the winter. the battery is like 8 years old, so i know damn well a new one is needed soon. so yeah, that was how my day started. good times.
i wrote 5 poems last night for the book. that brings that total up to 25. a few more nights like that and i'll have 40 in no time.
Notre Dame defeated Penn State, 27-24, to win their semifinal of the college football playoff last night. Texas and Ohio State plays tonight.

at least the sun is out...
i almost got some decent sleep last night. almost. but, i did get up this morning and got some shit done before i had to get mom up. she had company coming over this morning for breakfast. she of course missed the text message sent this morning, so i only got her up 5 minutes before that company came. but, in the end, all went well. breakfast was good (biscuits and gravy) and everyone had enough to eat.
the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UC, 66-59. you could tell Dayton was playing their 3rd game in 7 days. when you have no legs, jump shots don't go in. sure enough, it took Dayton over 11 minutes last night to get their first field goal.
the New York Rangers finally played like they gave a shit last night and won at Dallas, 3-1. helps when your goalie stops 41 of 42 shots.

woke up to snow...
definitely starting to feel winter like here. it was snowing this morning. nothing too bad, a little accumulation. of course, by the afternoon it was all gone. i guess here comes the two weeks of winter.
i got the house vacuumed today. that certainly took a good bit out of my bad back. joy.
Nate Bargatze's Nashville Christmas was pretty funny last night.
NJPW was good last night.
enjoy some music:
