Thursday miscellanea #475

We have a local showing of 2001: A Space Odyssey—at Valley Bend 18 in Jones Valley. (That’s the theater that opened as RAVE.) This is not a 70mm theater, so it’s not what I complained about never coming any closer than Miami earlier this year. I don’t know what it is, frankly. Doesn’t matter. It’s my favorite film, and I’ve never seen it on a big screen. Don’t dawdle. It’s not here long at all.
Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer has been suspended for three games for some alleged wacky shenanigans surrounding an alleged cover-up of some alleged domestic abuse by one of his alleged assistants. So glad to hear he’ll remain an alleged leader of young men.
Did you see my post on the new pasta dishes at Earth and Stone in Madison? Get these in your rotation. There isn’t a lot of house-made pasta for the walk-in around here.
Did you know that exhort has an opposite? It’s dehort. It’s archaic, but I like it, so use it and I will too, and we’ll see if we can pull it back. All kinds of nonsense gets in the dictionary these days. Let’s strike a blow for elegance.
IndyCar is back at Gateway on Saturday night, and it ought to be a good show. The defining pass of the season was at this race last year. Watch starting at 7 CDT on NBC Sports Network. The best auto racing in the world is in this series.
There are a handful of college football games this Saturday, though we’ll obviously still make the big day of it the following Saturday. I think the boys are as excited about already having the menu specified as they are anything. (Aaron wants buffalo chicken dip. Nathan wants chili cheese fries.)
I heard on the intertubes that Jerry Seinfeld’s Huntsville visit was a shortish set with little new material, and that there was no encore Q&A. Sounds like I made the right call not going.
