This has been a crazy month in my neck of the woods and it might be an even crazier week. I live in Northern Virginia and while that isn’t D.C., it’s close enough to be impacted by different things. With all that’s going on downtown the area will probably be a mess. Whatever you are doing and wherever you are going, please be safe and don’t do anything stupid.
On the brighter side, folks in my family who are older are getting the vaccine soon. And also, our teachers are about to get the vaccine too! I would love for the kids to get back to school. I know my theater kid hates having everything remote and is missing performing. That’s especially the case when athletics and athletic events get held to different (or maybe we can say less) rules than other things.
Stay healthy!
The Review
Here’s what happened on the blog last week:
- Monday: Mark “Chewy” Chmura
- Tuesday: Tom “The Flamingo” Brennan, Andre “Thunder” Thornton
- Wednesday: JaCoby “Juicy J” Jones
- Thursday: Bill “Quail” Virdon, Pack vs. Pack: 1991 Fleer Ultra
- Friday: Jim “Gentleman Jim” Lonborg
- Saturday: Richie “Gravedigger” Hebner
- Sunday: Calvin “Pokey” Reese
I brought back another nickname week for this week and I think I’ll be doing another in the near future. This one was pretty fun. It wasn’t as eclectic as I’d like it related to sports, but it was pretty diverse for teams and locations. I also got to post a Pack vs. Pack which I hadn’t done in quite a while which was fun.
The Preview
Here’s what I have coming up for this week:
- Monday: The Frog…
- Tuesday: Holmes on Holmes…
- Tuesday: Meck-a-leck a hi…
- Wednesday: Kansas fan?
- Thursday: Reed a book…
- Friday: Heavens ta merga-Troy…
- Saturday: In like Clint…
- Sunday: Don’t Treadwell on me…
I’m going back to a location theme for this week… #rockymountainhigh. So as you would expect from something like that, the posts will be Denver/Colorado based. We’ll be narrowed down to two teams and it will be almost a 50/50 split between them.
Other Notes
This was another great week of 18 returns that brings the backlog to 333! I really never thought it would ever get that high when I started this. Probably because I didn’t actually think enough about it and add it up. I’m definitely going to have to do something about it
So the Rangers thing I mentioned last week definitely slowed down. I’ve gotten a little bit of basketball in this month and the odd other sport so that’s different for me.
Hope you get enjoy this long weekend (if you have one)!
