Tango Boxing a New Hybrid Sport?
Here’s how I got off on a tangent about Tango Boxing, which honestly did sound like a hybrid sport combining dancing the Tango and boxing, you know, like chess boxing, in a ring with gloves and sustaining head injuries and dancing the Tango. I was amazed when I at first misread something in an article…

Wave for Wagyu Beef in Iowa!
Sena bought some Wagyu beef the other day at Walmart. It was $8 for 4 ounces. I know I said you could entice Bigfoot to shovel snow for you by giving it Wagyu beef—but I was just kidding. But I’m not kidding when I tell you that Wagyu beef is available in Iowa. Now, Walmart…

New Ebonwood Cribbage Wars Board Baptism!
Well, we got the new Ebonwood Cribbage Wars board last night. It was delivered shortly after 8:00 p.m. We took it for a test spin this morning and our inaugural game went for well over 2 hours.

What’s the Skinny on a Vaccine that Might Prevent or Slow Down Dementia?

Svengoolie Movie: “The Mummy’s Tomb”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” I watched the Svengoolie movie “The Mummy’s Tomb the other night. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a mummy movie (unless you count the one in which Brendan Fraser appeared in 1999 and I didn’t pay…

Pearl Harbor Day Today
Today is Pearl Harbor Day and it reminds me of the time we made a trip to Hawaii in 1997 and visited the USS Arizona Memorial. There was a guy named Norm in our tour group and he and his wife Lee (Leota) made friends with me and Sena. They were in their seventies at…

Big Mo Pod Show: “California Bluesin”
Well, I listened to the Big Mod Pod Show today and I have a couple of thoughts. Big Mod mentioned something about some kind of an AI assistant maybe selecting some records on the KCCK Facebook site. He didn’t sound all that pleased with the choices the AI makes, specifically with the John Lee Hooker…

Sena Buys Me a Bigger Snow Plow Shovel!
Sena bought me a bigger snow plow shovel because we’re getting a fair amount of snow lately. I’ll try it out tomorrow because we’ll be getting a couple of inches or so starting tonight. The new snow plow shovel is 48 inches wide. The one she got last year was 36 inches wide. We have…

Men in Black 5 a Thing Now?
I just saw something on the web which look like Men in Black 5 could be for real. Supposedly, maybe, I dunno—but I hope so. It may be more than a rumor, but there are doubts about whether Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will reprise their roles as Agents K & J respectively. Sony…
