The weeks are just really running into each other now. It doesn’t matter if its my personal life or my hobby or my work. Everything is starting to get to be the same. I was realizing this when I was talking to my brother today.
We always have things to talk about (really laugh about), but when you ask someone, “what are you up to?”… the answer better be nothin’. And I really know that there isn’t anything he has going on and he knows I have nothing going on. It has just gotten funny how we always had things we said that now just don’t seem to mean the same thing.
It is starting to get mentally tough to deal with all this too. Partly because of it being the same thing over and over. One thing I’ve tried to start doing is meditating a little. Just something to calm the mind down.
So don’t forget to take care of yourself and your family mentally as well as physically.
Be safe out there, we aren’t done yet.
The Review
Here’s what happened on the blog last week:
- Monday: Pat Neshek
- Tuesday: Keith Hughes, Mike Schad
- Wednesday: Ron Heller
- Thursday: Dave Rader
- Friday: Bob Dernier
- Saturday: Tom Herr
- Sunday: Scott Brooks
#cityofbrotherlylove was a bit tough this week. The Mets had just been swept by the Phillies last weekend and then I had to basically see Philly stuff every day. But I should be pretty used to that because as a Mets fan I am basically punishing myself by watching them every night.
The Preview
Here’s what I have coming up for this week:
- Monday: A letter away from a duck…
- Tuesday: I love Berries but I’ve never heard of this kind…
- Tuesday: Sam Jackson?
- Wednesday: He is without a Kar…
- Thursday: Just a big stud…
- Friday: One of the Jackson 5?
- Saturday: Is he actually a Borg?
- Sunday: Sweet Music…
My Twitter poll this week was overwhelmingly for the Land of 10,000 Lakes. So a trip to Minnesota it is. I think will have a good time doncha know. I’ve prepped a bunch of themes for the next several weeks and we’ll be moving into state mottos (or things like that). I think that might spread things out a bit. So look for those as I usually run them Friday through Sunday.
Other Notes
Another week of normal from a returns perspective. Things just keep coming in pretty steadily (knock on wood). One of the things I’ve actually been pretty happy with lately are the returns I’m actually paying for. The returns themselves are great as there are a few Hall of Famers in there, but I think I’m most happy with 1) them coming back at all, and 2) them coming back a bit quicker than I thought they wood.
So now my backlog is up to 232. I’m thinking I’m going to have to do a few catch up weeks where I maybe posts some guys I’ve gotten a bit more frequently and are not necessarily “new” attempts for me. It’s just getting a bit more unwieldy. I never thought I’d be holding anywhere near this many. It affords me the ability to do the themed weeks and have them primed and ready to go though.
Stay safe and healthy out there!
