Penultimate show of the 2025 amphitheater season on Friday, two nights ago, and it was the first of two Farewell Tour concerts by Cyndi Lauper. Trombone Shorty & Angelique Kidjo appeared as special guests, ramping-up the enthusiasm for the New Orleans / Francophone attendees.

Four on the parimutuel floor to pick-up by midnight, or something like that…
Not-Kanaka-Boy nonetheless enjoying himself in Hawaii
Still getting over this Island Fever, maybe you understand how it is. At least we don’t have to worry about trying to secure a vaccination against it. MAHA: Manifesting Aloha Happiness Always!
At the start of this week, your phightin’ Philalala Phillies were facing a potentially stern test, hosting the trade-deadline-boosted American League playoff-contending Seattle Mariners for a three-game series. The teams looked evenly matched on paper ahead of Monday night’s opener, but by the time series ended this afternoon, the Mariners were the ones getting not only tested, but wholly bested, completely crested & altogether molested. It was a rout in favor of the Philadelphians, with the aggregate scoreline coming in at 29-13. Scrub-on over to the 10:24 mark of today’s video lede for the coup de gráce courtesy of your National League leader in home runs, Mistah Kyle Schwarber…SCHWARBER!
Still summer, still August, still enjoying the Executive Swimming Pool over here at the Home Office in Upper Nichols Canyon, Los Angeles, Calif., U.S.A., Earth. Which is good, since we are going to be hitting the hottest part of your year so far, tomorrow (Wednesday) through Sunday. We shall do our best to keep cool without the need for ICE. Cool, chlorinated water is sufficient; ICE is unnecessary, Federales in Excess. Thank you!
