Hi there! Hope everyone is in the Winter spirit. I can’t believe that 49ers lost to KC, but I guess the coach was too strong. Looks like College Basketball will takeover soon next month with March Madness, and let’s just hope our Buckeyes #Team121 get back on top of their game. As far as Baseball, I hope the Reds get a better season, and with the English Premier League, I just hope Manchester United gets higher on the top of the table. Remember, in the EPL, it’s not like in the NBA or other sports where people jump on different teams when they aren’t doing good (i.e. the Golden State Warriors aren’t doing so hot, so many fake fans left). I spent many years in Ohio, so I will always be a Cavs fan first, and a Kings fan second. I do follow Portland Blazers too, though. Anyway, when you’re a MUFC fan, you’re a fan for life. No matter where we are on the EPL table, it’s Man United forever.

I thought the Fast & Furious 9 trailer was awesome! I’m a bit disappointed that Paul (in memoriam) Caleb/Cody wasn’t in the trailer, but hopefully they will surprise us later this year.

I’m very glad that Brad Pitt won an Academy Award! I will have to watch his new movie.

New Hampshire elections! Let’s go Bernie Sanders!

I want to thank Hardwell for sharing his story on his new podcast, it’s true that most musicians can take a 4-year break before a new album and no one says anything, but if a DJ takes 2 weeks off, everybody is asking: “Where did he go?”

Making some progress on Death Stranding! Man, this game is so hard! NBA 2K19 is pretty good too so far.

If you have a chance, try to do something for Black History Month. Last year, I went to the Aerospace Museum, and got to hear about the Tuskegee Airmen. It was pretty cool. This year, I’m excited for new music raising awareness about Mass Incarceration, I think Meek Mill just released a new track with JT, I will have to check it out (all the more reason to support a candidate like Bernie Sanders). There’s also a new TV show by 50 Cent which ought to be pretty important.

Don’t forget to watch the Snow Moon! It looks beautiful!

I’d like to remind you all that whenever you find yourself under a mountain of work, and feel that it’s just you, it’s not just you, many others still have a lot of work and we do it. People believe in you, so keep going. If there are some folks or subjects which you want to learn more about these things or people, I suggest you listen to podcasts about them. This can be on a variety and wide spectrum of topics. Just give it a try. I thank you.

Lots of fun stuff happening in the Astronomy world! I’m still motivated for us to find a third Interstellar object in our Solar System before JETLAG RADIO 200!

Until next time!
