20 Years Since the Demise of CTS

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_the_Stars, on this date in 2003, Count the Stars (one of my favorite bands) announced their breakup.

It was on Monday, 6-13-2022, when I discovered the existence of a playlist for their first album. I had never heard that album until Monday, 6-13-2022!

The Future

This sounds like there's an opportunity to reconnect the upcoming MCU movies as a way to build up to a future big Avengers movie.  I have been wanting the recent MCU movies and TV shows to build up to a BIG Avengers movie.

Randy Orton Returns from Injury at WWE Survivor Series WarGames, Reveals Cody Rhodes

Sight unseen,  I am unsure if Randy Orton will actually return to the WWE as a Babyface or as a heel.  As the article states, he had been a popular BF before being injured and needing surgery in 5-2022 - yes, over a year ago.  I hope that they handle this in a way that makes me smile, which would be to help secure the win... before RKOing Uso since he put Orton through a table the last time he was in a WWE match... I am interested in reading about it on 11-27...

I believe TesseracT and Currents are two bands that I need to dive deeper into. From what I've heard of them, I think I would like them both. I heard Currents at a record store in Saint Louis during my trip to see METALLICA on 11-3 & 11-5.

The Special 38

Tonight, Karen and I are going to the Riverside Casino to see 38 Special in concert. Originally, we were going to be a part of a group of 4 going to the concert. However, Kathy [of Kathy and Mike] found out that she has to work late so she gave up her tickets and is not going tonight. We learned about that on Monday.
  1. Rockin' Into the Night
  2. Wild-Eyed Southern Boys
  3. Back Where You Belong
  4. The Sound of Your Voice
  5. Back to Paradise / Honky Tonk Dancer / Rough-Housin'
  6. Teacher Teacher
  7. You Keep Runnin' Away
  8. Somebody Like You
  9. Just a Little Love
  10. Second Chance
  11. Like No Other Night
  12. Heart's on Fire
  13. Radar Rider (Riggs cover)
  14. If I'd Been the One
  15. Fantasy Girl
  16. Good Times (The Easybeats cover)
  17. Trooper With an Attitude/Drum Solo
  18. Caught Up in You
  19. Encore:
  20. Chain Lightnin'
  21. Hold On Loosely
  22. Travelin' Band (Creedence Clearwater Revival cover)

38 Special is a unique band for me. I don't own any of their albums and I know most of the tunes in the set list I found on setlist.fm, which I think is the sign of 38 Special being a really good band. I *think* I used to own a copy of the following album, which is a greatest hits, but as far as any studio albums? I don't think I've ever owned one of their albums.

Drums I will Never Own

Interesting Thoughts about TS

Why would Tony Stark give the E.D.I.T.H. system to Peter Parker and not War Machine, Nick Fury, Captain America or Falcon?
Here's a picture of the Avengers as of Captain America: Civil War (plus Bucky).

Tony was still angry at everyone on the left, especially Cap. He felt that Thanos only won because Cap wasn't there when they needed him. He said so when the two met face to face. And he felt the others had made the wrong choice.

War Machine was under the control of the military. If he had been given E.D.I.T.H. to him, it would have been turned over to the government.

Stark didn't trust Fury.

Vision was dead, the Black Panther was head of a foreign government and the Black Widow had turned on him.

Spider-Man was the only one he felt he could trust.

But, he has to have made that bequest before the final battle with Thanos. He was hoping to survive and continue to mentor Peter.

Was it too much to trust to a teen-ager? Yes, but he'd already given Peter a spider-suit that could kill on command and was prepared to invite Peter into the Avengers. Either he saw that Peter could be trusted despite his youth or he had a major blind-spot about Peter.

— Edit and Spider-Man: No Way Home Spoiler—

Tony probably recognized that Peter is the sort of person who will do what's right regardless of personal cost. In Infinity War Peter insisted on going along into space with Iron Man to rescue Doctor Strange.

In Spider-Man: No way Home Peter proved that his moral center is better than Doctor Strange's. While Strange was willing to send five people back to their own timelines and almost certain doom, Peter insisted that they could be "fixed" first, even if it meant fighting Strange and risking his own life. This justified Stark's confidence in him, even if Tony wasn't there to see it.

Old Dog Meets a New Word and is Better for Expanding

Typically, when I see a mistake in someone else's writing, it is a typo or using "its" when the writer meant "it's" in their sentence. Such mistakes are also single offenders. However, this morning, on a Monday, I saw this article - The 25 worst cover songs of all time, ranked -- Artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, and David Bowie are among the big names who've turned beloved classics into mangled monstrosities -- By Stephen Thomas Erlewine--Published-Wednesday 8:00AM.Not only did I see a typo, but I also increased my vocabulary by one word. I used italics to indicate the error and bold to indicate the new word that I added to my vocabulary.:

Whatever the reason for the failings by these artists, there’s no disputing that the original songs remain beloved, which is why brutally bad updates can be so difficult to swallow. This list of the 25 worst cover songs, like our look at the 25 best cover songs of all time, doesn’t pretend be comprehensive. Still, as we surveyed the last five decades of pop and rock music, we’ve done our best to corral the truly awful covers and order them in a way that metes out some semblance of order, if not justice.

Notice that the Published date is "Wednesday" which I presume is 11-08-2023. Today is Monday, 11-13-2023, which means the following typos have existed for 5 days and either no one has informed the author. The first mistake is that "doesn't pretend be comprehensive" is missing the word "to" in the sentence. The sentence should be: "doesn't pretend to be comprehensive." The word I added to my vocabulary is mete, which I initially believed was a typo. However, mete is a word and this is the definition I found through the Internet:

to give out by measure : dole out. She realized the stern retribution which justice metes to the murderer.

I now feel like I have learned today - can I go home now? [GRIN]

I do not want to go home. I am re-linking shell Word files for the P4 applications in our CMDB in my RoboHelp 2015 project for the Disaster Recovery documentation. Yes, MRDR--Mister Disaster Recovery Documentation (tm) is still working with RoboHelp 2015, not RoboHelp 2022. Perhaps that would be worth a blog post to freeze this moment at work?

WWE Raw Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights After Crown Jewel

From the article below: 
"Several producers and security guards broke up the fight, and Pearce had a meltdown on the mic. He booked The Judgment Day vs. Zayn, Uso, Rollins and Rhodes for WarGames."
--------
I'll just say it: the 4 faces need to acknowledge that they are the 4 good guys and while they may want Rollins' title,  they need to create a simple and catchy name for their alliance.  Call them ZURR, RUZR, - I don't care as long as they are not known as 4 individuals. They could even have a segment where they discuss their name and have each look surprised by the suggestions from each other backstage before agreeing upon the ZURR name. ZURR is NOT the best name for a stable but that's kinda the point: they are a team for the next PPV but after their match is done? They don't have to be an alliance forever.

I watched the first minute of "Who Played Liberty Devitto's Part Best? | The Drum Department 🥁- Ep.51" but when I am trying to embed the episode, episode 51 is not about Liberty Devitto. Thus, I am embedding a playlist of "The Drum Department" from Drumeo. Before Drumeo fixes their issue with having two episode 51 videos, this is the current episode 51, about prog drummers, and it includes a hilarious clip from a movie with Marshall from "How I Met Your Mother" and "Ant-Man":

Raiders Fire Josh McDaniels as HC, Dave Ziegler as General Manager amid 3-5 Start

I can't say that I care about any of this, but I find it interesting that the head coach wasn't given a chance to finish out the season. If the players are not going to be changed, then it doesn't really matter who the head coach is. Right now, unless the players were sandbagging and trying to get rid of the head coach,  I don't see why you would make a change now. Again,  I don't care about any NFL teams so I have no skin in the game.  I hope that the head coach finds a way to make a living.
