Good Sunday morning ladies and gentlemen. I hope that if the sun is shining you are enjoying it, and if it’s rainy, or heaven forbid snowing, you are snuggled warmly in your bed.
I walked out the front door this morning to find the phenomenon known as the free Sunday newspaper sitting on the step. The paper has been coming most Sunday’s since mid-February and I have no idea why. There’s a big #3 written in black marker that tells me it’s mine, and sometimes it’s even been right outside of my apt door. Weird to say the least. Especially since this isn’t a paper that I would pay for. At first I thought maybe it was a Sunday edition subscription from E-ve for my birthday, but then I realized and she confirmed that it isn’t a paper that she would pay for either. They do have the best sports section though, so that’s something.
The Academy of Country Music Award show is tonight, and you know what that means…. Taylor Swift! Ms. Swift has 4 nominations tonight which is fantastic. I do have to be fair and mention that there are others with more nods. Veteran hit maker George Strait has 6 chances to take home a trophy this year, which is pretty good for a dude that’s been making Wrangler jeans famous for almost 30 years. And Kenny Chesney is aiming for his record tying 5th consecutive Entertainer of the Year award.
Side note: There’s a fantastic youtube video from the 2008 CMT Music Awards of Sugarland, Jake Owen and Little Big Town covering “Life in a Northern Town”. It gives me goose bumps and chills every time.
Side note: I really do <3 country music. And I thank my mom for introducing me to it when I was young. The story telling makes me smile and cry and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
This is also the night that WWE Wrestling celebrates the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania. Whether you like it or not, this thing has become one of the biggest sports/ entertainment events of the year. If you have the cash and the friends that want to watch it’s hard to go wrong with having a bunch of guys and girls over to view the spectacle. Have everyone pitch in and there you go. In the past my friends and I have written down our picks in matches and then compared results after the show. I’ve never won.
Yesterday was a fantastic sports day for us. The Toronto Raptors won their 6th game in a row, too little too late, but fun to watch. The Montreal Canadiens took a huge bite out of the Toronto Maple Leafs and put a 5 point spread between themselves and the 9th place Florida Panthers. Michigan State beat number 1 ranked UCONN to advance to the NCAA finals on Monday night. And my boys from the University of North Carolina will join them after beating Villinova. The only loss was that of Toronto FC in their home opener against Seattle.
Side note: I was 10 years off yesterday, the Michigan State championship was 1979, 30 years ago. My apologies.
And I know that spring is here because tonight the MLB season officially starts. The Atlanta Braves take on the defending World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies at 8pm on ESPN2.
That’s all for today my friends. Enjoy the rest of the day and the remainder of the weekend.
