1/2: Another day to be thankful. Our area was mostly spared from the storms that caused deaths and destruction in the Midwest and parts of the South. I'm amazed by those who are disappointed that the storms were not worse. The real weather experts (and the pretenders) prepared us for the worst.

1/5: Some folks have short memories, but not me. I vividly recall 5 years ago today: we got serious about COVID-19. We were told schools would close for 2 weeks, and it should clear up "with warm weather" and we'd be back to normal by Easter.

#SNL50 was good, but should've been great. Wish #BillHader could have made it. #DanaCarvey was sorely missed. This show was scheduled a year ago, but some of it was poorly executed. Lorne is famous for cutting out weak material, but at least 30 minutes should have been trimmed.

I've seen some really cool #SuperBowlLIX commercials (or PSA's) featuring beautiful messages of empowerment, diversity, and acceptance. Very refreshing in a time when much of the nation seems headed in another direction.

Most radio stations won't play 60s or 70s hits. Yet during the Super Bowl I've heard ads with "Let Your Love Flow," "Whole Lotta Love," "Monday Monday," "Born to Be Wild," "These Boots are Made for Walking" and "Take Me Home Country Roads." So they're good enough for the Big game, but not radio.
