Evie Day 361
Good morning, and a happy first-day-of-the-new-work-week to you. Today is Monday, 11 March 2024.
Kind of funny. I sat down at my laptop this morning and opened my email, and the first all-caps word that I see is DEMENTIA. That’s a great way to start the day, right?
Last night the Academy Awards, popularly referred to as “The Oscars” was on. So was the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup Championship match between the US Women’s National Team and Brazil. I watched soccer. It was a lot of fun, not the drenched, soggy field from the semi-finals, and the US pulled out the win, 1-0.
The rest of the sports weekend wasn’t as much fun. The KU men last on the road and our starting center dislocated his shoulder. The KU women lost against Texas in the Big 12 Women’s basketball tournament.
The other highlight of the weekend was probably watching the cold opening of Saturday Night Live. A little background – on Thursday night, President Biden delivered his State of the Union Address. Then there was the GOP response, delivered by the junior senator from Alabama, Katie Britt. Her over-the-top delivery became the foundation for the SNL cold opening and was delivered by Scarlett Johansson. That might’ve been the best opening bit in the history of SNL. Lisa and I watched it three times, and we’re wondering if she can get an Emmy for that. If she doesn’t, the writers sure should.
I’m up early. Daylight Savings Time, spring forward… and there really is no savings of anything. It’s time to lock the clock.
Rosy is back using my leg rest as a high dive. Go over to Lisa, run back, climb up the little dog stairs, then jump down. She’ll do that half-a-dozen times while Lisa eats breakfast.
Congrats Sweden on officially joining NATO.
I’m going to grab some breakfast and get going with my day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
