I suspect this will NOT age well. I was raised on sports, starting at age 5, and played on varsity teams into college. As long ago as it was, my sense of seasons aligned with the sports calendar. Until now.
The best strategy for handling Trump is the Reagan treatment of Carter. Then facts. Then "I'm rubber and you're glue" and downhill from there. Fun fact: tonight's debate is only a few hundred feet from where I was born.
The attendance increase for today's game was enough to use my season tickets. What's the worst that could happen? Nevermind. So ... THIS was planned for a week - but now feels VERY weird. And awkward.
Cleveland. Home of the 2021 NFL Draft. Internationally renowned Art and History museums. One of the world's best orchestras. Largest theatre district outside NYC. Pioneers in science, medicine, industry, technology ...
Is it time to resume documenting the end of the great and glorious American Experiment? Yeah. Sounds like a fun time. Until the zombies arrive. To whom I voluntarily surrender my brains. Oh. And. Yay CWRU!
(b) "There's a red moon rising, on the Cuyahoga River, rolling into Cleveland to the lake ... where, you've got a friend in me." An option for the NFL draft, I didn't think I'd use it for the, um, team-to-be-formerly-known as the Indians.
(b) The other day "kid me" cried about curses. While old enough to have seen misery at Municipal Stadium - I'm not old enough to have seen glory. BUT "adult me" paid for 0-16 and gave "kid me" something to really cry about.
Yay, this should be fun. High winds, rain and barely 50 degrees tonight. Backup QB, RBs and an MIA punter. Not to mention all the other injuries. My in-game tweets may sound like a eulogy. For the season. Um. Go Browns?
All-Star Sunday! Welcome to Cleveland, care of the Euclid Beach Band! Lucky break. Blizzardwise. But. One cannot speak of the city of my birth. And its horrific sports history. Without bawling over ... curses.
Tom Hanks got his start in Cleveland. At the Great Lakes Theater. And. He dropped out of college … to do what he does. Hence the Woody quote. The title? A Michael Stanley Band song.
Did I make a continuity error? Maybe. So. A “very” interesting music video? Based on a movie that is haunting me. Anyway. It was weird growing-up near Cleveland. And. Hearing the voices on the radio … in real life.
Just an excuse to use the WMMS Buzzard again? Nope. A real thing. At the Geauga County Maple Festival. With only slightly less absurdity. I was going to make a video this year – but SOMETHING got in the way. Maybe next year?
Bobby does great work. Highly recommended. 10 out of 10. If you need some bodies unburied – he's the ghost to get it done. To view this as "thing" as a minute-sized animation, check out my YouTube channel:

Happy 2016! Would I trade another one-win Browns season for another Guardians trip to the World Series? Perhaps. As long as it isn't followed by a zero-win season. Again. Hmm. Actually. Upon further review. I will make that Faustian bargain. Welp. Hello, and welcome to Cleveland, Mr. Applegate ...
Hmm. How predictable? The 1955 musical "Damn Yankees" revolved around the original Senators (now the Twins). But? Cleveland LAST won the World Series in 48. Lost in 54. New York won in 49, 50, 51, 52 and 53. Lost in 55. Then won 11 times after that. I think the Universe owes "The Land".
