Thursday miscellanea #506

A longtime special friend who was born with a rare, terrifying condition and was not expected to survive a 2002 heart transplant is celebrating her 55th birthday today. Happy Birthday Tonya!
Motorsports Christmas Day approaches, and the #Indy500 weather forecast has improved somewhat. There was a 90% chance of rain forecast when we went in 2017, and not only did we never see a drop, it was actually sunny most of the day. Hoping for similar mojo Sunday!
Formula 1 legend Niki Lauda has died at 70. RIP.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be out in a couple of months. I’ll see it, but my affection for Tarantino may be fading a bit. I’ve liked all of his films, but I haven’t really loved one since Death Proof. I’m considerably more excited about upcoming science fiction and horror sequels.
Huntsville will soon be the largest city in Alabama, but this is a little deceptive. The Huntsville metropolitan area is still less than half the size of the Birmingham metropolitan area.
The new Black Star Riders song was floating around Twitter this morning. I liked it, but I didn’t realize Damon Johnson was no longer in the band. (Still has a pretty Damon Johnsony riff.) He has a new solo record as of a couple of months ago. I’ll check it out this weekend.
After committing to my doctor that I’d lose 15 pounds by the next appointment, the official weigh-in was -17. I’m now within two pounds of where I got to when I started getting sloppy and gave back too much of my progress last year. My focus is much tighter this time around. Soon I will need jeans.
