He’s driving to Midway from Indpls., and has a flight. Should be to our hotel in time to head over to the arena and catch the last part of the 1st period of the hockey game. πŸ‘πŸΌ

I did a father/son trip with our younger to Philly in January. We saw a couple games at the Palestra, and walked around Old Town.

I’m to meet older son in Minneapolis today for B1G hockey (Gophers vs. #1 Michigan St.) and men’s hoops in the Barn tomorrow. However, he can’t get out of Indy! πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ˜’

I don’t know how they would. The forward says interviews with Lewis were conducted by 2016, and the book didn’t come out for another few years. He passed away in 2020.

How’s the new boarding process on Southwest? I’m flying tomorrow. Hit the checkin button just as it went live and got boarding group 1, seat 3B.

I hate the middle seat… πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌ

But, looks like I’ll be first on and first off. Thoughts?

Starman standing on the top of his observatory in his classic red, green, and yellow uniform. He holds in his outstretched hand the Cosmic Rod. This is a device he developed that allows him to control gravity, allows him to fly, and shoots energy bolts.

Starman (Ted Knight) made his first appearance on this date in Adventure Comics #61 (March 5, 1941), and created quite the legacy!

Lionel Richie penned two of the great love songs as the 70s became the 80s - the sentiments of Still, and the finality of the pain in Sail On.
