It’s Monday. Here in Illinois, Mother Nature absolutely loves messing with us this time of year. Last week the temperatures shot up into the 70s, followed immediately by multiple destructive tornadoes tearing through the state—then the thermometer plunged back below freezing. Next came a day with 60-mph winds. Yesterday it jumped back into the 60s again, fired off several rounds of severe thunderstorms, and then—because why not—dropped below freezing overnight and dumped a few inches of that horrid white stuff. Seriously… what the hell?

With the weather being such a mess, the girlfriend and I kept it simple and hung out at home all weekend. We kicked things off with two Oscar-nominated films, Sinners and Zootopia 2. After that we watched War Machine, checked out The Pete Davidson Show, and wrapped it all up with Expedition: Greenland—a documentary about a group of guys attempting to become the first to drive vehicles across Greenland from south to north and then all the way back again. Talk about a mixed bag of entertainment.

And of course there was the NASCAR race in Vegas and the Oscars. My favorite moment from the awards show was the on-stage jam of “I Lied To You” by Miles Caton—an absolutely killer performance.

Alright, that’s it for me… time to stop screwing around and get back to work.

It’s Friday! Happy Friday the 13th everyone. Get ready because everyone you know will suddenly turn into a part-time superstition expert today. People who normally can’t remember where they left their car keys will be warning you about black cats, ladders, and odd “coincidences” involving mysterious bad luck. Your coworker will swear their coffee machine broke this morning because it’s Friday the 13th. And bad traffic—definitely caused by Friday the 13th. And at least one person will dramatically announce they’re “not taking any chances today” while still doing the same dumb shit they do every other Friday. Seriously, the only real bad luck is having to hear about it all day.

That cold I picked up from my girlfriend last week has pretty much run its course. A few coughs here and there remain, but that’s pretty much it. As colds go, thankfully this one wasn’t all that bad.

Well, the weekend has arrived, and it looks like we’re getting the full Illinois-in-March experience—rain, wind, and chilly temps. In other words, perfect weather for staying indoors. I’m thinking pizza, a couple of beers, maybe a few movies, the NASCAR race from Vegas, and then wrapping the night up with the Oscars. Not exactly tropical, but it could be worse.

Double babes, double jokes, and a damn nice amateur photo… enjoy!

It’s Thursday. You’re driving down the highway when you spot an McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle riding on a flatbed like it missed its flight and had to call an Uber. Seeing one of the world’s most fearsome fighter jets being pulled by a semi is a strange reminder that even air superiority occasionally has to take the scenic route.
