We saw a lot of insane talk and short-sighted decisions from a few governors today about reopening parts of their economies. I suspect these states will find themselves in trouble in a few weeks. My hope is that the citizens of these states do not suffer unnecessarily from the poor decisions being made by their…

Did you all know that “The Last Dance” documentary started tonight on ESPN? There are so many things I remembered from that last Bulls championship year yet so many things I had forgotten. Now, one thing about those championship years that is impossible to forget was the player introductions. How intimidating that must have felt…

There is so much togetherness happening at the Probst house these days. No track practice, no soccer practice, no baseball practice, no school pick-ups, no eating out, no evenings out with Donnell, a whole lot of nothing like our pre-COVID-19 lives. The one thing I have been enjoying about all of this nothing is that…

Happy Birthday Donnell!!! To start off your birthday extravaganza, I thought I would share one of your favorite songs from one of your favorite bands. We have seen this band together in St. Louis, Chicago, Aurora, and Denver. Every time, we have an amazing time, and they put on an amazing show. Of course, I’m…

I have been enjoying watching James Taylor on this season of The Voice. He is a rock and roll hall of famer through and through, and I have appreciated his comments to the relatively young musicians on the show. When I hear a James Taylor song, I always think back to the good times we…

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the first Saturday Night Live ever filmed at home from last Saturday, check it out on your DVR, on demand, on YouTube, on whatever. It was really excellent and showed some pretty amazing creativity from some of the best in the business stuck at home like…

Happy Easter! For those of you who celebrate Easter, I know this is a weird one. Back in high school and college, I would have played at a couple masses by now, but today, churches around the world are empty. That Easter Eve midnight mass at Holy Angels was always a fascinating, head-turning experience. For…

Yes, I know it’s April 12th, and I’m a day late on this one, but I did have a song in mind yesterday so I wanted to make sure to share it. I try to keep my ears open to new music regardless of the genre. We let the kids control the radio from time…
