Summer 2021: Day 4

After a productive Saturday and Sunday, I didn't quite feel in the mood to get a lot done on Memorial Day.

I did run this morning, which felt great, and Ben and I went walked the dog in the evening. Dinner was cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and drumsticks on the grill, which was just fantastic. I always connect Memorial Day with generic cream soda -- I have a memory of drinking it at my Grandma Elsie's house for the holiday barbecue when I was a kid -- and I had a 12-pack of it in the basement to enjoy while I'm grilling. However, Michael drank all my sodas, so I was stuck with a beer (a Red Rooster Blackberry Cream Ale).

The rest of the day I relaxed. Although I missed my soda, I did sit on the porch writing while enjoying a Dad's Root Beer. I also took a short nap in the afternoon, and played a game of Strat-o-Matic baseball in the evening. And I didn't even think about working, even just a little bit.

This was a nice start to the "official" summer season. Let's hope it doesn't fly by.

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago

One of my favorite songs is Bob Seger's "Against the Wind." Being somewhat overly nostalgic, it's always resonated with me, even when I was a teenager. In 1984, we were on a weekend trip at a resort in Wisconsin (a longer story for another post), and I was incredibly bored and listened to the only tape I brought for my Walkman over and over, just songs taped off the radio. One of the songs was "Against the Wind" and somehow, only at 13, I recognized the reflection the lyrics invoke, of being young and taking life head on, growing up in a blink of an eye and being wiser yet a little sad. Of course, just about every Bog Seger song is about that same theme ("Beautiful Loser," "Like a Rock", "Night Moves", "Roll Me Away," you can even make a case for "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll"), but this one always stuck with me. Another reason I like "Against the Wind" so much — the line: "Those drifter days...

Nobody did it better

After Lori recorded it on our DVR, I finally got around to watching A Football Life: Walter Payton (link shows a clip from the show) that aired on NFL Network. It brought back some good memories. In 1977, as a second-grader, I started watching football for the first time. I collected football cards. I remember not only watching the Bears in the early game, but watching late games, usually on NBC, after the sun had gone down that dark November and December. My first lesson in my NFL education was an amazing one: Witnessing Walter Payton's incredible 1977 season in which he rushed for 1,852 yards (in 14 games) and helped the Bears to the playoffs. CBS gushed over Payton all season, setting his runs captured by NFL Films to song: Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better." I hear that and still think back to that late fall and winter. I don't know how much local radio played the song (and this was a memorable winter for music), but CBS was all over it. I remembered many ...

50 for 50: 1985

YEAR: 1985 (and one month of 1986) AGE: Turned 15 on Nov. 6 LOCATION: Chicago, Rascher Avenue BULLS' RECORD: 38-44 SONGS I LIKED: "Shout" by Tears for Fears; "Bobby Jean" by Bruce Springsteen MOVIES I SAW: "The Breakfast Club," "Back to the Future" TV SHOWS I WATCHED: "Miami Vice," "Growing Pains" MUSIC VIDEOS I ENJOYED: "Raspberry Beret" by Prince; "Just a Gigolo" by David Lee Roth VIDEO GAMES I PLAYED: Super Basketball, River Raid For the first 15 years of my life, my hometown teams had never secured a championship. The Sting, who won the NASL in 1981, don't count (even though they got a parade that drew 100,00 fans). The closest any other team had gotten was DePaul making the Final Four in 1979, but in true Chicago fashion, the Blue Demons were incredible the next three years only to be ousted in their first NCAA Tournament games. In 1985, we finally got a winner. The Bears capped an ...
