As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

March 17, 2014 – Nationals at Tigers rained out – Lakeland FL



Section 201, Row M, Seat 5 (grandstand, down the right field line as usual) 

The gloomy central Florida weather forecast for St. Patrick’s Day proved all too accurate. While it wasn’t raining when we got there around noon, and in fact they rolled the tarp off the field, shortly thereafter it started raining hard enough that we left our seats for cover under the stands. It did stop again for a bit, but the rain resumed and increased, and the game was called off around 2:00.

The day was certainly not a complete loss, however. I got to look around the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings at Florida Southern College nearby, and was also able to catch up with the Gowen clan (on Bart’s birthday, no less).

I made the mistake of parking in the main lot, which took forever to get out of. My more perspicacious friends wisely parked in an unofficial lot, which meant that they beat me to Buffalo Wild Wings by over half an hour.
