January 23, 2021: Two of Us
It’s not ideal when the Bulls and Blackhawks are on at the same time, but when they both win, I’m not complaining. It was a two for two night for the UC neighbors. Per Mark Potash, this was the first … Continued
January 22, 2021: Magical Mystery Tour
It was back to the archives for another baseball season. I thought I would go year by year, starting at 1959, as long as I could through this series. Yet, I couldn’t find 1960 for the life of me. I … Continued
January 21, 2021: I Should Have Known Better
