Drive like the wind Straining the limits of machine and man Laughing out loud with fear and hope I've got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle at the fireside

Turn the clock to zero, sister You'll never know how much I missed her I'm starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero, boss The river's wide, we'll swim across Started up a brand new day

That's why I'm easy I'm easy like Sunday morning

Roaming 'round your house Wasting your time No obligation, just Wasting your time So why are you alone? Wasting your time

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me! See me, feel me, touch me, heal me!

Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall Ninety-nine bottles of beer Take one down Pass it around Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time I feel alive And the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah I'm floating around in ecstasy So, (don't stop me now) (Don't stop me) 'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time

I don't believe in destiny Or the guiding hand of fate I don't believe in forever Or love as a mystical state

So I'd say the odds are pretty good that it will be Trubisky vs. the Panther. Why? Because I have tickets to see this game, which will be my first Bills game in person since 1974, so naturally Josh will be hurt. smh.

Well, my temperature's rising, and my feet on the floor Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got But you better take it easy, this place is hot And I'm so glad we made it So glad we made it Why won't you gimme some lovin' Gimme some lovin' Gimme some lovin' every day

Now watching Get Back on Disney+. This is essentially a 9 hr fly on the wall documentary pieced together by Peter Jackson from audio and video recordings made over the course of 3 weeks in 1969 while the Beatles were writing and rehearsing for a planned live TV "come back" performance. If you are a Beatles fan, or are curious about a glimpse into what was essentially the final days of an iconic band, this is a must see. I am 1/3 of the way through, and am totally fascinated. A couple of observations: - Paul & John absolutely drive this bus, with George and Ringo (in particular) as passengers. George even gets off the bus at one point, quitting the band about a week into the project. - Yoko...ugh - Very cool watching them work through the early stages of what will become all-time classic songs. The scene where Paul is working out Let It Be on the piano, and the fact that it's portrayed primarily as background audio while the main scene is John and the director discussing stage options for the live performance, is amazing. I was like "People! He is writing Let It Be RIGHT NOW and no one cares!" Great stuff

Like a million little doorways All the choices we made All the stages we passed through All the roles we played So many different directions Our separate paths might have turned With every door that we opened Every bridge that we burned

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill On Blueberry Hill, when I found you

Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you, let me jump in your game

+1 on this right here. On 1st & Goal from the 6, if he bounces outside he walks into endzone. Instead he cuts back in and right into the arms of the D...and since none of our RBs can break a tackle, it's now 2nd & Goal from the 6 (followed by a sack, followed by an incomplete. followed by a missed FG)

All is for the best Believe in what we're told Blind men in the market Buying what we're sold

There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all

Play of light A photograph The way I used to be Some half forgotten stranger Doesn't mean that much to me Trick of light Moving picture Moments caught in flight Make the shadows darker Or the colors shine too bright

I had no desire to watch the new "in season" version of Hard Knocks on HBO, but happened to catch part of the episode that featured the Bills game. As much as I hated that game, I gotta say that I love Frank Reich. There was a scene where he was eating dinner the night before the game with Bruce Smith and Steve Tasker, and what he said about the talk he was going to give his team that night was maybe the greatest bit of Hard Knocks I've ever seen. Frank gets it, knows what matters and what doesn't, and comes across as a genuine guy. Hard Knocks in general...meh. Frank Reich on Hard Knocks? A+

We're on the train to Bangkok Aboard the Thailand Express We'll hit the stops along the way We only stop for the best

Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me

And the earth becomes my throne I adapt to the unknown Under wandering stars I've grown By myself, but not alone I ask no one

Head-first humanity pause at a light then flow through the streets of the city

And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away

Silver lining for me is that all of the "championship caliber team" talk can finally stop and we can just sit back and see how this team responds to their "average-ness". While I haven't quite slipped back into my No Expectations mode, I can see it from here.
