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.)

August 7, 2016 – Nationals 1, Giants 0 – Nationals Park


http://m.nationals.mlb.com/news/article/194170816/tanner-roark-wilson-ramos-lead-nats-in-win/
 
Attendance: 32,790
Game Time: 2:43
Weather: 87 degrees, sunny
Wind: 5 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Rob Drake, First Base - Sam Holbrook, Second Base - Gerry Davis, Third Base - Carlos Torres
Seventh-inning stretch song: I Can’t Help Myself – The Four Tops
 
Highlights – Tanner Roark pitched out of big jams several times to hold the Giants scoreless thru seven innings … Shawn Kelley threw a 1-2-3 eighth, and Mark Melancon repeated the feat in the ninth for his first Nats save … Ben Revere made a spectacular catch to end the top of the seventh, saving two runs … after the stretch, Wilson Ramos went deep for the only run of the game (and only Washington’s second hit) … great enough game to inspire a Tom Boswell column in this morning’s Post
 
Other – Traffic down not too bad (left at 10:45) … traffic coming back somewhat slower getting out of the parking lot (the one formerly known as Lot HH), and backed up on the GW Parkway getting on to the Beltway
