All right, all right, ya’ Philalala Iggles lovers! Take it easy! Your birds are flying into the postseason tournament in the sport of Major League ’murrikan Gridiron Throwball. Good outcome. ’grats to the connections.
Four-and-13 season predicted for the Philadelphians by many at the start of the season, including the oleaginous Herd Guy on the nat’l sports-talk radio syndication. That guy is funny. The only true words he speaks during any of his episodes are ‘let’s review’. Listen for yourself and find out.
Been absorbed in plenty of culture-consumption the last couple of weeks. Tore off some torrid end-of-year reading of Durant, Graeber, Ishiguro, Highsmith, then enjoyed some cinema in the form of Uncut Gems, Promising Young Woman, The Lost Daughter, Being the Ricardos. Others in the household watched Don’t Look Up, but the Leonardo DiCaprio character in it reminded us too much of The Professor from the Money Heist, and then of ourselves, especially with the schoolboy, combed-back haircut, full beard and spectacles. Too close to home. Maybe later. On the other hoof, that Dakota Johnson is a looker, yeah? We try not to engage in the male gaze too much, but what else are you gonna do when she’s stretched across your widescreen for nearly 2 hours? Is she using fillers, or are her cheekbones that naturally pronounced in her early 30s? Thanks for letting us know.
All these things of commerce and art tended to revolve around characters without compromise, unbending and unbudging in sticky situations. The vision was real, the commercialism was secondary. For that uncompromising outlook, a salty salute to the creators! Someday…
Anyway, hope you guys are staying safe with this current outbreak of the pandemic.

Looking at what’s left of the Thoroughbred action on offer in the United States today, and the last three races at ParXXX appear more headscratching than most others; ditto the final trio from Turf Paradise. Contentious!
P.S. No more Zongo Race Club. It’s turned into something quite more civil: The BestLine Racing Society. Who knows!
