Night Frisbee and Rhodes Rolls


Having endured a lonely and boring day, Brian Bean cheered me up by agreeing to play a round of NIGHT FRISBEE GOLF with me. We had just walked home from watching the firework show and there were still sporadic BOOMS and POWS still echoing off the buildings (so I figured it would be too bothersome to add some clanging of frisbees to the night's ambiance.


We started playing at 11:20pm and finished just before midnight. We even picked up a player after the first hole, Ryan Tripp. We stopped frequently to chat with others along the way. Brian one with 2 over par and Ryan and I were just a couple of shots over him.

At the stroke of midnight, we retired to my apartment for Rhodes rolls that had been sitting out since 4pm. The dough had puffed up from half dollar size to the size of a large man's fist. They were delicious! (It was only after I had popped them in the oven that I recalled that it was Fast Sunday this week. Oh well.)


That was just what I need to make up for a crummy day.

    AWESOME rolls. I don't know that I've ever seen them that big. What made your day so crumbly? Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me while I was in town.

    I don't know if I'd call them "sumptuous" but they definitely were ample!

    My day, to that point, was crumby because all of my roommates left me alone in my apartment ALL DAY. I marked an all time low this summer when I watched an entire Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on AMC.

    And that, my friend, is the beauty of pre-planning! Communication is what it is all about in this world!
    I'm glad you could roll with it. (and ditto, my Rhodes have never looked so big!!)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" .  In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness.  Inspired by a letter written by  Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album,  What Happened to the Heart?,  questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
