Sound like “The Ocho” is on. Since ESPN will be out of the MLB universe at the end of this season, and as the NFL, NHL, and MLS continue their full transition to streaming, ESPN will be irrelevant soon.

Long story short, having to explain to a younger coworker there was a MASH movie before the series, and how the characters got their nick names makes me want to pound my head on my desk.
You snot nosed little kids don’t deserve a cinematic masterpiece such as this. Sadly, I’ve joined the old farts club. 57 is old.

You’re still a punk! Just barely old enough to buy from the Senior Menu at Denny’s.

I forgot to report back. These were really lame. Like, embarrassingly so. I’ve done far better air guitar sitting at my desk than these clowns.
It’s like none of them had actually been to a concert or seen a guitar played live before and were just doing a routine based on someone else describing it to them.
I was hoping it’d at least have comedic value, but it was just…stupid.

I stumbled upon this amazing live footage from an eagle’s nest 145 feet off the ground near Big Bear lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Underneath this, eagle are 3 baby chicks that hatched about a week ago. As of now, this bird has been covering the nest for well, over 24 hours, and her prior record was 62 straight hours in the last snowstorm when the eggs were just about to hatch.

That is awesome, and takes me back 55 years to when I was young and my brother robbed a sparrow hawk’s nest of two eggs, in Perry’s Hollow, above the City cemetery.
He hatched the eggs, raised the pair, adapted them back to the wild a released them (not sure how long we had them, but perhaps a year?).
A year later, he and a friend did the same with a pair of red tailed hawks.
The birds were all (sort of reluctant) members of the family, and I’ve been fascinated with birds of prey since.
My brother stopped this practice when he was caught by authorities trying to get a third pair. My police officer father, got him out of some serious trouble, after making him promise he would never do it again.

Kids requested we watch the latest Dungeons & Dragons movie again today. It’s probably the 5th or 6th time I’ve seen it now and I thoroughly enjoy it every time.
It’s such a criminally underrated film.

The one with Chris Pine? Yeah, it was surprisingly good. We enjoyed watching it too.

Yep. It was fantastic, doubly so if you’re a D&D nerd like we all are.

We’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. Tonight was Moneyball. Recently we watched The Fallguy and CHiPs. Both were surprisingly good and fun to watch. Somehow we got on the Mission Impossible series. They’re ok, good summer popcorn movies.
One that I liked, very much so to my surprise was Collateral with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Seeing Cruise as a bad guy was a good twist. We’ve seen a few others, but nothing too memorable aside from those I listed.

We just saw F1. It was a fun movie. Great racing scenes, plenty of F1 cameos. Although it was filmed a bit ago, cuz Lewis Hamilton was still with Mercedes in the movie.

I saw. Wonder if he can get another Championship under his belt? Mercedes didn’t do him a ton of favors iirc.

Ferrari is a good team, but the McLaren team is flat tearing up the circuit this year. If things keep going the way they are, McLaren will win the builders championship this season going away.
