I attended my first CFL game the first week of August, 1976. The Ticats hosted the Riders. I had a good seat close to the front, and I can still remember Pigskin Pete leading the Oskee Wee Wee cheer. I was saddened to learn that Pete passed away Sept. 10. I see now that he was officially Pigskin Pete III, and that he has been replaced by Pigskin Pete IV. RIP. You will note that his CBC obituary says that he started in 1976, and worked through the 2006 season. My CFL encyclopedia says that I saw him in his second game! He certainly seemed to be experienced to me! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/news/former-pigskin-pete-paul-weiler-dies-wednesday-1.2762128 http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/news/story?id=2625088 ***** After two terrific weekends, this week saw the return of boring football.

After three quarters... Sydney 2.3, 5.3, 8.5 (53) Hawthorn 5.5, 11.9, 16.11 (107)

It appears that there is no free stream of TV or radio of the game. It's now halftime, and Hawthorn is leading 5.5, 11.9 (75) to Sydney's 2.3, 5.3 (33). I can't see Sydney coming back.

I received an email today reminding me that this went on sale today. Last week Jamie Saft and I friended each other on Facebook!

This arrived yesterday. I've been enjoying it, but I'm not sure that it is a good idea to remind people of Oscar Peterson. Longo's touch is not like Peterson's, and I suspect that fans of Peterson would rather listen to an album of his than this one.

My Hawthorn Hawks will be playing the Sydney Swans. Matt Priddis of the West Coast Eagles has been awarded the Brownlow Medal, which is the league's MVP award. As you can see here, the game will begin at 2:30 pm Saturday Melbourne time, which is12:30 am New York time and 9:30pm Friday Los Angeles time. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/hawthorn-and-sydney-its-grand-to-see-you-again-20140922-10kfuc.html

I really like the selection of songs on this one.

A favorite album from my youth was Tomorrow Never Knows by Steve Marcus. Mike Nock takes a solo on Gary Burton's Half a Heart that I still enjoy 45 years later.

I recently shopped around, and selected the Original Mattress Factory. I've had it for about a month, and I'm quite pleased with it.

Happy Birthday niels!

I vote for Art Pepper's last performance, at the Kennedy Center with Roger Kellaway, which Laurie Pepper released on her Widow's Taste label.

I was surprised to read in BusinessWeek not long ago that Boston Brewing (Sam Adams) is America's largest brewer, because everyone larger is now owned by a foreign corporation. http://money.msn.com/business-news/article.aspx?feed=AP&date=20140919&id=17948124&ocid=ansmony11
