Later this morning I'll tune in to The Flagship Station for IU Sports ahead of this morning's NCAA men's basketball game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Indiana Hoosiers. Start time is scheduled for 11:00 AM Central Time, but I'll listen earlier to catch pregame coverage as well the call of the game itself.

I will be cheering on the Indiana Hoosiers Football Team as they play the Oregon Ducks in the Peach Bowl Game.
The radio back here in my room will be tuned in to The Flagship Station for IU Sports by 6:30 PM Central Time, an hour before game time, to catch pregame coverage from my favorite broadcasters. And I'll stay with this station for the radio call of the game.

#A nice way to start the new year.
Earlier today I received the following message from one of the chess clubs I belong to: “Congratulations on winning the 1st place in the mini-tournament: honeytrap's mini-mini-mini tournament”
There were 5 of us playing in this mini-tournament that started play on 24 September 2025, and we each played two games simultaneously, with reversed colors, against every other player. That gave each of us 8 games in this mini-tournament.
I shared the win with a 42 y/o guy in the UK; he and I both finished with identical win/loss records. Still, I do feel good about this.
And the adventure continues.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I've been called to an out-of-town wedding and will be away from my computers for maybe 5 days. (I will have my phone and I'll listen in when I can.)
Don't break the Internet while I'm gone. Mmmmkay?
