I hate influencers. Maybe just a compound where we can smoke meat and drink beer and whiskey. Let’s keep it simple.

Maybe instead of a working ranch we could do a lifestyle ranch. Cooking. A place for influencers to do photo shoots. Etc.
How about a distillery and brewery. Grow the grain right on site. And if the land is at the right latitude, we can even grow our own hops.

And we'll have an adult bounce house.

That’s 🔥 the saddest part is our crew didn’t even have a year of law under our belts and we were already dreaming of our escape

From now on I’ll be using the following scale to rate.
1 star - Mike Woodson
2 Star - Archie Miller
3 Star - Tom Crean
4 Star - Kelvin Sampson
5 Star - Bob Knight

Heretic - Tom Crean. Solid Thriller, Hugh Grant is really good in it.
Here - Archie Miller. Interesting concept but just didn’t really work. I usually like her but thought Robin Wright was awful.
The Agency - Tom Crean (not as good as Le Bureau)

I know we are mad at Woodson now, but arch never made the tournament. He’s gotta be the 1 star, no?

Maybe, but it’s my system & I think Woodson is the absolute worst. 😉 Despise him, so no doubt there is more to the system than just wins & losses. Archie would have made the tournament but was zapped by Covid one year, & didn’t have who was arguably the best player in the country with TJD.

What about Dakich? Mike Davis?
 
A take on the 20 best TV shows of the year. I haven't seen several. Of the ones I have, The Diplomat is my #1. But I haven't seen Shogun yet, waiting for an extended period so I can binge it and that would be my odds on favorite to be my favorite.

I've seen 5 of those and all of them were good. Baby Reindeer, Fallout, Shogun, Slowhorses, and one I'm blanking on

Shogun was very good.

Red One. Heard one podcaster say it’s an instant Christmas classic to others on line say it’s a complete waste. My stoker is a Rock fan so she liked it.

Very high marks for creativity. Santa, his sleigh, and the reindeer like you have never seen them. I thought the sleigh launch with F 35’s in the opening scenes was terrific. The movie deteriorated from there for me. But not for the rest of the family.

The ‘Yeah, we insure that” guy made a terrific Santa.

I’ve got that to watch with my daughter
 
If you have kids. Beast Games is now on Amazon Prime. Mr. Beast starts with 1000 players, and trying to winnow them down to 1, who will win $5 million. Budget for the series is $100 million.

Worth the watch. A G version of Squid Games but for real.

ETA: You have to watch the end of episode 2. Fascinating psych experiment and insight into human beings.

Highly recommend Say Nothing on Hulu. About the IRA in Northern Ireland in the 70s. Excellent thus far.
 
Has no one finished Yellowstone? Thought the wrap up was really good. Just binged Taylor Sheridan ‘s Landman yesterday with Billy Bob Thorton. A couple episodes left, but I really liked it too.

Excellent. I got my daughter all fired up for squid 2 and said we’ll binge squid then looked it up and there was sex and shit. It’s been so long I forgot.

So what’s everybody reading or watching? My new favorite tv show is Killing Eve. It’s about a female assassin, on BBC , starring Sandra Oh as the detective trying to catch her. Creepy good. I’m reading Killers of the Flower Moon, about the murders of Native Americans in Oseage County and the beginnings of the FBI. Just saw RBG, and was surprised at how gorgeous she was. Also had no idea she was involved in women’s issues since college and tried 6 cases at Supreme Court, winning 5 of them. What’s everyone else enjoying?
Christmas gift from my brother in law...'A Hell of A Storm' by David S. Brown.
" The Battle for Kansas, The End of Compromise, and The Coming of the Civil War". (Scribner)
Three chapters in, and it's a good read. The parallels between then and now are intriguing.
