Today was a good day.  

Because it was Friday!  Maybe... 

The weather is supposed to be mid-50's this weekend!  No...

I think it was I started my day with a rainbow...  Bagel.  So weird...

Kody Altman needs to make this happen.  Myles Garrett dropped a tweet on Marc Cuban that said he needs a "big guard".

The Cavs said we have an open roster spot how about a 10-day contract?  Myles would look good in Wine and Gold!

Joe Thomas is the best though:

"Home Is A Feeling......."

Sometimes is takes a while to figure this out.  I remember when I moved into my first apartment many years ago at age 22.  It wasn't at all very nice, but it was mine - for the time being.  I was proud of it, but I knew it was temporary.  As I moved around the country for a number of years in radio, I rented apartments, condos, and houses. Some were very nice, some not as much.  They were all where I lived, but none of them was -  home.

In 1994 I bought my first house in Lakeland, Florida all by myself.  I loved that place and for the first time in my life, I felt like it was a "home."  Home is a feeling there is no doubt.  A house is one thing, but the sense that you are in the exact place you are supposed to be is a great feeling.  When I sold my Lakeland home in 2001, I was sad.  It was my home, and now it was someone else's.  When I sold my house here about a year ago, I was not sad at all. Not even a little bit.  True, I liked that house, as it was very nice, vintage, and very historic.  But I never felt in 19 years that it was my  -  home. It was simply my house.

I have that "home" feeling again finally after all these years now with Windy in our home here.  We like being there, we take good care of it, and we both agree that you can live lots of places, but you are only home in one place.  And that's a great feeling.

The other day we looked up just how long it had been since Scotty McCreery was on American Idol.  Sarah Kay and I found out it was 2011, and we both where kind of taken back.  Wow, ten years since we met him.  Over the years he has had some nice songs and had some big hits, but he's better than ever right now.

He's done Bosom Buddies for us, and has been to Blossom a few times on various tours.  I remember years ago when Sue Wilson and I doing the morning show together, we were talking with his MOM at length backstage at Blossom. She said they were figuring out what college Scotty was going to, as they were preparing just in case this "Country Music thing didn't work out."  Well, it has so far.

Scotty has grown a ton as an artist.  At first, he was this kid with the big voice and I'm not sure he knew exactly what to do with it.  He sang songs that were of his age, and it worked, but now it's working better as the songs are now more grown up. He's done a nice job of bringing his audience with him.  Over time, like any other person, in any other line of work, he has gained on it and perfected his craft. Married now, You Time I understand was written about his wife and life. This is a flat great song that's well done and easy to listen to.

Grab a coffee and take a listen. This is a very nice song, and I think nice songs sound extra good right now.

Well done Scotty, well done. GREAT song!

My Other Articles From This Week! -  Song Of The Week  /  Support Local Car Washes  / Movie Review

Netflix has become the new way for virtually all of us to absorb new movies, and this week it's I Care A Lot with the incredible Rosamund Pike.

I don't really know what kind of movie this is.  Is this a drama? A very dark comedy?  Or just a very cruel movie that may give terrible people really bad ideas as a business in real life?  This movie will make you mad.  This movie also has a focus problem, as it loses its primary focus and story line and switches directions to the point of silliness.  With that said, it does create a character in the lead that you hate so deeply, it's hard to watch at times, but you also can't turn away.  That is the genius of Pike.  She is terrific here.

Pike plays Marla, a woman that runs this insanely despicable business of essentially kidnapping rich, elderly people from their homes through a network of on-the-take and equally God awful professionals like doctors, nursing home people, etc.  They "legally" kidnap seniors and get them "sentenced" to nursing homes where they are drugged and held against their will forever - legally. ? Then she makes it happen to be court appointed as their legal guardian.  She then sells all their assets  -  and gets personally rich off their money and thier life's work, and she does it all in a very giddy fashion. This story line is interesting, though utterly reprehensible, and thoroughly disgusting.

Movie Trailer Can Be Watched On YouTube

She then "kidnaps" the wrong woman, who is totally healthy and totally loaded with incredible riches.  But who is this woman? And why are so many people looking for her, and for her immediate release?  Marla has certainly made the mistake she never thought she'd make. And why are seemingly very, very bad people after Marla now?

Then the movie falls off a cliff.  The focus changes dramatically and becomes something it wasn't.  It falls into total silliness as easily as Marla gets the elderly committed and fleeced.  Now our main character sort of becomes  Wonder Woman-like, a highly skilled stunt woman, a weapons expert, a tactical commando, and about every other silly thing she can become in her quest to elude the people now after her.  It's like a different character.

It's almost like two different movies, and that's the fatal flaw.  There are compelling moments here, but its shift is too much to overcome. As it shifts, it becomes very predictable, as in the first half, it is not.  Also her "enemies" (who are very bad people) are the most inept bunch of mobsters you'll ever see. And in real life this entity would be anything but.  But here, we are supposed to think they are about as bright and ruthless as the 3 Stooges.

This is not a wasted night on the couch, but this certainly could have been a whole lot better.  Great lead character, and a perfect Pike performace, but the writers ruined it after the first hour.  Compelling moments and an original story that eventually goes wrong.  There will be those who love this, and some where this will hit way too close to home, especially if you have an elderly person in your life having a tough time.

I Care A Lot - Adequate

Luke Bryan may have a new opener on his next tour...  "Latin Luke".  Ay Caramba!!!! (who is this dude?)  P.S. I hope he wins!

There is an account on TikTok that features a sweet little rescue chihuahua, Mr. Mortimer. He has the cutest little stride and his owner has set it to music you know and love like hits from Prince, RUN DMC, Kenny Loggins, and more, like this familiar tune...
