  • New Years Day...  We Got Bowl Games and More Bowl Games.  
  • I haven’t played any games on the new iPad Pro 11” as of yet.  Feels like a time commitment.

  • Looking at the Mainstream Media headlines... Well, let me summarize: Russia, Russia, and Russia.
  • By the way, I don’t mind if folks want to support media companies by subscribing to content. But I have to wonder, with Apple News app and Flipboard, do you need a newspaper subscription? I just ignore anything behind a firewall.  You?
