Watched the STRANGER THINGS finale last night
SPOILERS: So beware.
There was something quietly beautiful, and a little bittersweet, about that scene with the four kids on the roof, promising they’d meet there every year. Watching it now, older and with a bit more life behind me, I felt the weight of those good intentions. You can almost see the future unfolding... they’ll meet a couple of times, maybe even a few, and then life will start to pull them in different directions. People grow up, fall in love, move away, disappear, or simply drift. That’s just how life works.
But tucked inside that sadness is a soft reminder: be here now. Be present.
Love the people who are in your life today.
Appreciate your friends, your family, the small moments that feel ordinary but aren’t.
Nothing stays the same forever, which is exactly why every day—and every person we care about—is worth holding close while we can.
My new year's observation.
Notre Dame tricking LSU into overpaying for an okay coach that was too good to fire but not good enough to win big games and immediately upgrading is an all-time finesse move.
This weekend was David Sollenberger’s favorite time of the sports year.
Some years he’d let me stay home from school and we’d watch college basketball together all weekend. One time he let me skip school both Thursday and Friday to hang out with him and watch the tourney. My mom wasn’t happy.
As I grew up we would still talk almost every day during the tournament. He loved Allen Iverson (although he’d get mad that the refs never called him for carrying), Scottie Reynolds, Nick Caner-Medley, and Grant Hill, but also taught me that Christian Laettner was an asshole.
Thinking about him a lot this time of year especially since it’s his birthday weekend. Have a root beer for him, and if you’re watching with your dad make sure to really enjoy the good times spent together. He’d like that.
