It's been about four weeks since I last wrote and it has been a relatively uneventful period. Maybe the biggest thing to happen is Mizzou Basketball ended its season at 9-22 and Spring Football Practice has begun. Mizzou's first home game is only five and a half months away.
Other random thoughts on this Sunday morning...
-"The Americans" may be the best show on television right now. It is a spy drama set in the early 80s focusing on two Russian spies embedded in Washington D.C. and their neighbor who works in counter espionage for the FBI. If you haven't seen it yet check it out on FX on Wednesday nights at nine.
-Good riddance to "Two and a half Men". It had its series finale several weeks ago and for the most part it was unremarkable. Jon Cryer is a very good actor and his portrayal of Alan Harper was very good. The rest of the show turned to mediocrity after the departure of Charlie Sheen. I thought it vindictive of the writers to kill off his character in the finale.
-And finally, the worst commercials on TV are still those for Sonic Hamburgers. The two gay guys in the commercial make me turn the channel whenever I see one of the ads.
That's it. Happy Ides of March to you. And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to my Irish friends as well.

Random Thoughts in Mid April
Here it is the middle of April and it is finally getting nice outside. I celebrated Easter with my family and the weather was finally gorgeous. We spent the day outside playing and eating. So with Spring finally here I have a few thoughts on my mind...
-Its nice to see "Mad Men" back on AMC. I'm not sure its as good as it was the first few years. But, it is still very good for television. I will watch the remaining five episodes scheduled for this year. Oh, and have you noticed Peggy has become "one of the boys".
-"The Americans" on FX is the best show on television right now. I find myself cheering for the Russian spies even though I am American. This season is just as good as when season one left off last year. If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and watch or DVR the program.
-It's been a rough month for my beloved Missouri Tigers. First Coach Gary Pinkel kicked super star Wide Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham off of the team. It will hurt the Tigers but in the long run it sends a message to every student / athlete on the Mizzou campus; behave yourself or else. The other development was the resignation of Men's Basketball coach Frank Haith. I say good riddance to Haith and advise him not to let the door hit him in the butt. He was a fine recruiter but not much of a game coach as evidenced by his inability to control his team.
-My favorite baseball team the Cardinals are off to a .500 start. Adam Wainwright has been lights out so far this year. But, the rest of the staff has been mediocre and the batters have not yet started to hit consistently. Hopefully that will change as the weather gets even warmer.
-Last but not least congratulations to Albert Pujols on his 500th career home run. Albert I wish you were still a Cardinal but I still respect your decision to move on to Anaheim a few years ago.
Have a great afternoon and I will post again soon (or well, whenever I have time).
