What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 1 2020

Yeah, I’m still bummed. Because of my broken ankle and the “no weight bearing” requirements on it, I can’t participate in Trivia Bowl today.  I also can’t participate in the Patroons’ opening night.  This sucks quail eggs.

However, I’ll still be a part of Trivia Bowl – instead of answering the questions, I can tell you that some of the questions for Trivia Bowl were written by me.  I sent them to host Kevin Baker a few days ago, and last night he told me that he used most of them as part of this year’s tournament.  So I’m there in spirit.  I guess.

And as for the Patroons, I won’t be there tonight, but I will move heaven and earth to be there for the team’s next home game on February 14.  At least that’s the plan.

But that’s my update.  Now it’s time for the update in which I recap the blog posts and images from this week’s harvest of my blogroll.  There’s a couple of new bloggers on the blogroll, so I hope you enjoy.
