The air was 60°, the water was warm, and my heart? Freshly rewired. Two weeks after ablation surgery, I figured a 200 fly was the perfect test. Coach says even he wouldn’t do it — and he’s 20. 😅
That’s why they call me Mr. Fly.

My opening weekend ranking of all 12 songs on Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” album.
Positions 1 and 2 are a dead heat.
The giddy sing-a-long infectious spritz of “Opalite” wins the weekend. But the dopamine “Reputation” rush of “CANCELLED!” is the likely long-term obsession.

I was a drowned rat after swim practice at the U on Friday afternoon, and it had nothing to do with what Coach had us do in the pool.
When will all this rain end? What South Florida can expect on the weekend and beyond.

HBO’s The Gilded Age Season 3 finale. Rich in every regard.
Can’t think of too many streaming series that grow in such measures in a third season. Simply marvelous.

Went to Liz Flynt’s book signing for “Hustler: 50 Years of Freedom” at Coral Gables’ Books & Books.
Flynt is the widow of Larry Flynt and chairwoman of Hustler. Lea Black moderated.
I remember studying Larry Flynt’s landmark case when I was at FIU grad school, Mass Media Law class, years ago.

Weekend listening: A cohesive Miley Cyrus album, the creative "Something Beautiful."
And Gloria Estefan's affectionate "Raíces," a nod to 1993's "Mi Tierra" but "freer" she has said.
