As a blues enthusiast I've certainly had a number of sad songs in my favorites mix.
But this song I'm posting...ugh. Its not blues, its not really country either, but it has personal sentiments to me.
If you want the backstory, fine, here it is.
I've mentioned on here before, I lost my soulmate to cancer 5 1/2 years ago. Before she died, she wanted a celebration of life instead of a funeral.
One day, she gave me a list of about 5 or 6 songs to put on a mix to play at the COL. This song was on the list.
I knew the singer, but had never heard of the song. Joey Feek died of cancer a few years after recording this song.
I looked at the title and said to my wife, "you must really hate me, you don't think I'll be grieving enough without hearing that song?"
She said, "fine", crossed it off the list and added another.
And yes, I put in in the mix. When it played at her COL, the person I was talking to at the time, I asked that it person to talk a little louder so I didn't hear it.
It took me a year to be able to listen to it in its entirety. 5 + years later, I still can't hear it without shedding a tear or two.
So yeah, there it is.
Pretty hard to get happy after your story and this song. So sorry for your loss. This was my choice before listening to yours, never had heard it.

I’m an excellent driver.
Any tips? I'm excellent chipper and putter, but struggle off the tee.

I was dragged to see The Devil Wears Prada by wife and MIL. 2 hours later I was glad I went as I really enjoyed the movie.
and Mrs. Lew bought the popcorn.
Meh, I'd rather have the 2 hours back. But that's me. You do you.

Yea he played a playoff game for the Texans didn't he?
He had a summer here but I don't think he was ever on the roster during a season.
Correct on both counts. Won a playoff game against the Bengals in 2012. Placed on IR just before the season opener in 2017, released after reaching an injury settlement a week later.

Golf is more between the ears than on the club face. Everybody is up and down, that is the nature of the game and it always has been.
The new driver clearly is contributing to his recent struggles. Missing everything to the right. He'll be free all weekend to work things out, maybe try a few different drivers.

His driver was not tested Masters' week, but it did pass in March. A third of the field is tested each week. Results are supposed to be confidential, he refused interviews PGA week because the press leaked confidential information. I'll make room for the possibility that missing the Memorial had more to do with letting things die down than not wanting to play 3 weeks in a row. What I won't make room for is your suggestion that he was suspended. This was a ticket for gong 42 in a 35, not 100.

Charles Romes. 9 year starter at corner, 4th in team career interceptions. Not bad for a 12th rounder. Don't think his post NFL life has gone so well.

Is this a low-key suspension by the PGA Tour??
Just a little more "smoke" that gives my theory that his illegal driver was more than from "regular use" a little more juice.
I remember a few years back when Dustin Johnson "announced" that he was going to take a six month break from the Tour to recharge himself, and the PGA went along with it until it leaked that he was actually suspended for six months for failing two drug tests showing Cocaine use.
Whenever Rory does come back, if he is not playing as lights out as he was before this situation, you really have to start to wonder....
re Is this a low-key suspension by the PGA Tour?? - No. He likes to play the week before majors, he doesn't like to play 3 weeks in a row. He's playing at the Canadian Open next week.
re Just a little more "smoke" that gives my theory that his illegal driver was more than from "regular use" a little more juice. - It really doesn't.
re I remember a few years back when Dustin Johnson "announced" that he was going to take a six month break from the Tour to recharge himself, and the PGA went along with it until it leaked that he was actually suspended for six months for failing two drug tests showing Cocaine use. - I stand corrected. There you have it. Must be a one week suspension for Rory, nothing to do with his not wanting to play 3 weeks in a row.
re Whenever Rory does come back, if he is not playing as lights out as he was before this situation, you really have to start to wonder.... - Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

We're not that imaginative. The black cat is named Blackie. The skinny cat is named Skinny. Nayla is the outlier, we took her in when the original owner had no other choice.

It's probably 1/2 and 1/2 maga's and progressives that buy tix but the wine oils the chains...we have a good time together.
Ironically, I think most who have passionate disagreements on PPP to the point where it seems they genuinely dislike folks they haven't met would, if they were to meet at a tailgate before a game, get along with those same people. If politics comes up they might even respect differing opinions and agree to disagree before changing the subject.

I think as far as value the Washington Reds are the best there are on the planet. I get so many good bottles from there in the $25 range.
Couple years ago a the vendor of a friend gave her a bottle of one of Drew Bledsoe's cabs. It was really good. We looked it up on the world wide web, cheapest we could find it for was $55. A bit out of my price range, at least for now. Prefer to stay in your $25 range except for holidays.

Glad we got a Prime Time game but would've preferred it at home.
I do miss the routine of a steady diet of 1:00 home games. Made planning tailgates so much easier, as well as the ride from Rochester.
Edit: We did have a home prime time game that year. The Nov. 23rd game against the Jets was moved to Monday in Detroit. Still was a home game though.

The Elam's were all knuckleheads at his age. Whether he was different than his dad/uncle was always the biggest question to me. He isn't. I expect he will get it together eventually. He has plenty of talent so he will get enough shots til it sticks. It's not a direct comparison but Rasul Douglas was terrible until he was suddenly really good.
Same with Rich Gannon. More like below average until he was suddenly really good but you get the picture.

Looking back it’s kind of hard to believe ‘Cheers’ was almost cancelled. It bombed in the ratings in its first season.

Neither would have made it past the Christmas break today. Shows that aren't immediate hits are canceled.

The title was changed to include players with 2 year stints. How about some love for Aaron Maybin?

Terrell Owens was a one year Bill. He had a good year and was a total pro in Buffalo, as opposed to his situation with other teams. I remember a 90 odd yd TD pass from Fitzpatrick to Owens one time. Maybe still holds the Bills record for longest TD.
Record has since been tied by Gabe Davis, 98 yards.
My 1 year nominee, more like 6 or 7 games, was the coach at the time, Perry Fewell ?sp
Edit: Here's the Allen to Davis pass

Fun fact, they say not to use THC for several months prior to major surgery. I guess it impacts your body's ability to heal larger surgical wounds. I did not listen. So I needed another surgery to fix the fact that the other one didn't heal correctly. Cannabinoid receptors are very complicated with so many interactions to our body. Despite being around forever the medical community still doesn't have a grasp on it all. Certainly not long term impacts of chronic use from edibles or extremely high THC concentrated products. As a simple example most edibles don't contain CBD. CBD is considered to potentially be a neurological protector to some of the negative impacts of THC. Even if we did know more, we don't know what ingesting just THC without CBD will do over a long period of time. That's just one product and one consideration. We have THC extracts at 50%+ THC levels. All sorts of ways to ingest it that are far outside what we might know more about. I would guess it can't be worse than alcohol, but just as confident it's not benign.
Ouch! Doesn't sound like such a fun fact, more like learn from my mistake, don't do this!

Read the Fifth Amendment. Show me where it distinguishes between citizens and aliens.

Invading the country, then asking for due process under its constitution is like stealing an item from a store, then trying to hold the manufacturer responsible for the warranty.

There isn't much that could get me to stay seated during the national anthem, not sure if this would or not. Fortunately I didn't have to make the choice.
