    This is not one of those "look what I found on the street" BS stories. My dad, the retired jazz station manager and DJ, passed away at Christmas. Here is a small sample of what I brought back from being home for the funeral this weekend. There are a couple hundred still left in his closet that his wife (not my mom) is holding. I had been slowly cherry picking albums, each summer trip back home. Sometime in the mid 80's, we had about 2,000 jazz albums in the house. Just last week, I posted how bummed I was to missed out on the Sidewinder reissue. Come to find out, my dad's 1st stereo release copy was waiting for me the whole time.

    Agreed! I missed out on The Sidewinder, but Cannonball Adderley is pre-ordered and waiting for Moanin' to drop next.
  3. That's a great idea. My dad had a jazz radio show and was the station general manger, so my education was at home. Although, like most kids I rebeled against what was playing on my parents turntable. Of course, I was paying attention the whole time and found my own paths through the jazz landscape. Like Monk said " There are no wrong notes"
  4. I remember watching Monaco on Wide World of Sports as a kid, but then in the 90's-2000's, it felt very snobby, elitest and too technical. For me it started when COTS was built, and seeing Riccardo's love of Texas. But I really flipped watching Drive to Survive on Netflix. That brought me 180 and taught me things you don't see on the telecast. My dad was a huge Schumacher fan and had his home office fully decked out in Ferrari merch. He just passed away this Christmas, and I didn't get a chance to get him to COTA. I wish I had gotten back into earlier. Maybe Daniel will get a shoey for my dad this year.
  5. I have 12 on the list. Monk not showing up until #40 makes no sense to me.
  6. Ran into the Kamara/Diggs combo in my first championship game. At least I take comfort in the fact that no matter what lineup I set, I never had a chance.
  7. Nothing like being down 49 after 1 game. Any hail mary magic in stacking Eagles? Half point PPR.
  8. Giovanni is available and I'm seeing Drake on a few "sit" lists, but I've rolled with him most of the year. I also have Gaskin sitting on my bench. Maybe move one into flex? Right now, I have Gage. I'm overthinking this final game, but my dad is about to pass away and all this extra research is actually a decent distraction.
  9. PPR, .5 reception, 10 yards per point. Passing 25 yards per point.
  10. After 13 years in the league, I've finally made the championship, and I really need this. Ha! I chickened out on Hurts last week, but not this week. Any advice for this padawan?
  11. Test
  12. So, Hurts has the same amount of points at halftime, sitting on my bench, as Watson finished the game with. Good thing I still have JuJu and Diontae playing tomorrow.
  13. My inner child stated shaking and bouncing when the green lightsaber ignited. I still didn't believe it until he lifted the hood, then the ugly cry started. (No shame in that statement) 😎 Rewatching with my daughter tonight.
  14. Well, I'm a 52 years old man, who just had to shut his office door, because it got really dusty first thing in the morning. Ha! This workday is a bust...
  15. I really enjoyed it, sat and watched Kane immediately after as well. I hadn't seen it since film class in college 20+ years ago. I will now be calling the girlfriend's private part "Rosebud", as the professor failed to mention that detail in class.
  16. So, I was able to grab J.Hurts, but now I'm having second thoughts starting him over D.Watson. Any thoughts?

    Can anyone confirm my memory that in the late 80's early 90's, waterloo had vinyl out back in the "Vinyl Anex" where Lululemon is now?
  18. Lost by .12 this week, and probably going to cost me a bye in the playoffs. I think it's better to just get blow out and go to bed early.
  19. Unbelievable 119.36 to 118.82 win!! As a longtime Bucs fan, I should have known they would shit the bed in a primetime game. Think I need to hit the wire this week, no way I trust this D against KC.
  20. Anyone have words of encouragement for tonight? I'm down 3.5 with the Bucs D, and he has no one. I have obviously learned nothing in 12 years of fantasy football, because I'm in second place but 8th in points scored. F#$k fantasy football.
  21. This is my weekly dilemma, as I have Diontae and JuJu.
  22. Well, I didn't check and got 14 whole points from a Carr/Aghlolr streaming combo in Cleveland. Thank God for Dalvin Cook.
  23. Donated. As the Miner on board, big thanks to Brisket.
  24. I've made several good batches of half sours following Brad's video. However, I prefer vinegar, so I have been experimenting with white and red wine or apple cider vinegar mixes.
