School was canceled today due to an ice storm. I took my kids and a couple of friends to see Black Panther and it exceeded my very high expectations. I also finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. A good day, I'd say.

The new Brandi Carlile is great.

Saw Hiatt open up for the Old 97's last fall. She put on a great show. I hope you make it!

We (my wife, sixth graders and me) marched last year. We sat it out yesterday, but we will be very motivated come fall to work and vote for Democratic candidates at every level. I say this as someone who, up until Trump won the nomination, was a registered Republican. I have watched the GOP in Iowa and in the nation push the most radical agenda of my lifetime. I have some conservative tendencies, but this current incarnation of the GOP is beyond the pale.

Vikings, wow! They should beat the Eagles, but the Pats seem to be firing on all cylinders. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I binge-watched Master of None over the holidays. Easily a top 5 show for me. I’m not sure who’s more in love with Francesca, Dev or me. This makes me quite the dirty old man. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This was a fun read. https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/a-list-of-some-of-the-times-the-last-jedi-told-the-olde-1821396631 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Cary Grant is so good.

This nicely states my feelings about his dad.

Looking for a safe place to talk. I LOVED a lot of this movie. I could’ve done w/o the casino scene. It didn’t feel like the Star Wars universe. A friend thinks there is still more to learn about Rey’s parentage and Snoke’s origins. I disagree. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Exactly

I listened to the early stuff quite a bit in college. A great power pop band. RIP.

I mean once tax reform passes, they may be willing to vote to impeach... eventually. Then they can start pumping up Pence and act like they never really liked Trump in the first place. That would be true, the just decided to tolerate him for their own evil ends. Hell, they might even come out against pedophiles serving in the Senate.

I will disagree with the first sentence just a bit. I think the chaos and constant outrage that the Trump administration has created is helping allow this bill slip through because of outrage fatigue. I don't see a Romney or Bush (any Bush) presidency trying something quite this radical. I do think once this tax bill passes or (unlikely) dies in conference, the heat on Trump will increase from Republicans. They're playing it cool for now because they want to minimize the attention on him.

Some interesting versions of previously released songs. The alternate of I Got You definitely dragged a bit in tempo and was robotic in rhythm. Otherwise, I thought they were all strong. The party horn End of the Century was a real rocker, of course.

Donald Fagen should be allowed to own Steely Dan.

You may have been on to something, Lammy!

Old 97's last night. Their best days in terms of new output seem to be behind them, but they still put on a fun live show. Lily Hiatt opened up. I listened to some of her stuff beforehand. She's good. And, as I realized during the show, John's daughter.

Dear Packers Fans, Sorry for breaking Aaron Rodgers today. Not sorry about beating you, but seriously sorry about Rodgers. Sincerely, Vikings Fan
