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.)

July 5, 2016 – Brewers 5, Nationals 2 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 25,138
Game Time: 2:52
Weather: 89 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Jeff Nelson, First Base - Greg Gibson, Second Base - Nic Lentz, Third Base - Cory Blaser
 
Highlights – it didn’t rain … Nats did get 12 hits … traffic both down and back was better than usual … had a good time despite the quality of baseball (see below)
 
Other – shoddy fielding, questionable base-running, gopher-prone pitching, very little clutch hitting (Brewers lefty Will Smith came in to fan Harper with 2 out and the bases loaded in the seventh) … only 25,000 folks were interested in the Bryce Harper Chia Pet giveaway … humidity increased steadily as the game went on
