Books, cats, MST3K, Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs. Native Iowan marooned in Spartanland. Rarely funny on purpose.
I can't get started.
No, really. I have zero desire to move or do anything.

WBB FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD
Iowa 79 - Rutgers 36
The #Hawkeyes made the Scarlet Knights look more like the Black Knight from Monty Python - an obliterating victory for UI. Very impressive. Iowa improves to 9-0, 1-0. Next up a huge game at Iowa State 6 PM Wednesday evening (ESPN).
The Stats.

I don't know what it is about the Monday after a holiday weekend but I always get hit with a wave of melancholy. Maybe it's because holidays measure years rather than days or weeks. Your kids grow up, your parents grow old, time keeps slipping into a cumulative past

Iowa 86 - Fairfield 72
Very nice win for Jan Jensen's short-handed #Hawkeyes today at CHA over a tough and respected Fairfield Team. Iowa starts the season 8-0 and is on a roll.
Next up is #B1G play at Rutgers on Saturday.

Honestly surprised we haven't gotten more snow by now. I'm sure it's still coming. I know many in Iowa/Illinois/Wisconsin will be happy to see it move along.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Reading a decidedly shorter book than the last one. The fact that Saunders has a new book coming out in a couple months also played into this decision.

I've been a fan of MST3K since 1993. Discovering this wonderful show is probably the best thing I got from my college years.
