It’s dangerous flipping channels during boring sporting events. Clayton Kershaw seemed to have the Braves under control on this Thursday night so I made a trip around TV land and found Milla Javovich killing zombies on SyFy.

Broadchurch
Gail is a British TV junkie. I can’t blame her, there is some compelling stuff on TV over there. But I’ve seen The Wire so I know American TV is the best. That being said, she dug up this Broadchurch show (not sure how) and it turned out to be quite captivating. We haven’t watched a TV show together in a long time so the time was ripe.
Folks, please stick with me for a few moments. Our niece and Goddaughter Maddie Steffen (my brother Jim’s daughter) was born in October of 2012 with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a devastating genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system in about 30,000 kids and adults. The life expectancy for CF kids has increased from living to their teens to now being able to live into their 30’s, 40’s and hopefully beyond. Gail and I are committed and determined to help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) find a cure so Maddie can live a full and complete life!!

Buccaneers vs Saints
It was a hot, sunny day in Tampa for the Bucs versus Saints until about mid way through the first quarter, then the storm and an hour plus delay came. Bucs hung tough but ended up losing 16-14 on a last second field goal by the Saints.

Rays vs Red Sox
I was in St. Pete and got to see the Rays beat the Red Sox. It’s a strange atmosphere when the opposing fans are about equal in number to the home fans. The Rays are a strong franchise though and they’ll be fine.

Appetite For Self-Destruction
I’m intrigued by the so-called “fall” of the music industry because it coincided with a distinct rise in my interest in music. Maybe I’m a contrarian, but I re-started listening to music and purchasing albums after a long, post-college layoff that ended with my first digital music player. I now listen with a relatively selective ear and buy considerable amounts of music because of digital. But if you listen to the record executives, they blame digital for the precipitous decline in album sales over the last 20 years.

The Sun Also Rises
This is some classic literature, man. I need to read it every so often just to keep me grounded. It’s been a slow reading year and I really got bogged down on this. Not because of the content or anything, just because I’m kind of busy and distracted.

The Butler
I saw this movie with Gail and her mother while we were visiting Breese. Well done, really well done. It’s a walk through the civil rights era through the eyes of a White House butler. It’s fictional but based on fact.

Bears vs Browns – Preseason
It’s preseason, but it’s still the NFL. That was my thought when attending the Bears versus Browns on this beautiful summer night. It’s exciting when the Bears take the field, no matter when.
