Thursday miscellanea #502

“Cache” has one syllable. “Cachet” has two syllables. Learn it. Know it. Live it.
Ken Kercheval, who played J.R. Ewing’s bumbling rival Cliff Barnes on Dallas, has died at 83. I can actually remember my dad laughing that he had “Mr. Barnes” on his office door, and considering what kind of a small man would do that. Heh. RIP.
Clyde’s BBQ opens Monday! Sounds like some fantastic tastes afoot there.
Senna returned to Netflix, and Aaron and I finally caught it last night. All of the old footage is fantastic, and the story of Ayrton Senna‘s racing career is mostly complete. But I didn’t think they spent nearly enough time on his personal faith, and how deeply it motivated his actions on and off track. Oddly, they also omitted mention of the Austrian flag he was carrying in his car—a flag he intended to raise in tribute of fellow driver Roland Ratzenberger, who had been killed qualifying for the same race in which Senna died.
Clearly viewing his hip replacement surgery as a tremendous annoyance, Nick Saban was back in the office less than two days later.
Bill Cosby doesn’t like prison. Good.
This week’s 36-hour fast is today. It’s going to be either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday every week. That gives me a good balance of consistency and flexibility.
