Thursday miscellanea #350

• We used Madison Pike this past weekend. It’s wonderful that it’s finally open, and it has indeed pulled a lot of traffic off Madison Boulevard in the evening.
• Well, when it came time to pick the Alabama-Georgia game, my head said UGA, and I went with it. I would love to be mistaken, but I don’t think Alabama is playing with enough cohesion to make a run at it this year. No one looks entirely clueless on the field, but I don’t see enough single-minded purpose either. Go prove me wrong, guys.
• I tried a Home Run Inn frozen pizza this weekend, and it was really good—one of the best frozen pizzas I’ve ever had. (Yeah, yeah. That’s better than “best sushi I ever had from a gas station,” at least.) They’re at Publix and don’t carry much premium over the more familiar brands. I may do a full-up review.
• Speaking of full-up reviews, if you haven’t already, go read my review of Blue Plate Cafe at Rocket City Mom. When you are finished, comment and tell me what a great review it is. Also that you wish I weren’t married. (If you’re a woman.)
• David Gerwitz shares his iPhone upgrade experience. I think I can count on one finger then number of times I’ve set foot in an Apple Store, and I would guess it was five years ago.
• At Nathan’s soccer game last night, the opposing team’s coach was ejected about three minutes into the game. First time I’ve heard of that in the nine years we’ve been playing AYSO. I didn’t see it; I was still en route. Nate told me he argued about 30 seconds, though, which seems like a long time. If you’re gonna jaw, jaw once, then get jawed back at, and move on.
• Watch for a post on Good Shepherd’s Upward basketball and cheerleading program soon. It’s that time, and I want us to make 2016 awesome.
