#bourbon bracket

Favorite color - it depends. I wear a lot of black t-shirts, but black isn’t my favorite color. If I had to decide on a favorite color it would probably be ocean water blue or sky blue. Those likely aren’t official colors, but they make sense to me.

Last song - I listen to hours of music each day. The last song that I listened to was “Spiders (Kidsmoke)” by Wilco. That song has incredible depth and it journeys. Even though it isn’t metal, it has moments of heaviness to appeal to metalheads. I have been on a Wilco kick over the last few days.

Last movie - I rarely watch movies, but I guess a documentary on Netflix counts. I last watched _The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel_. Interesting, and it included a “black metal” musician that “web sleuths” falsely accused of being involved in the disappearance of the Cecil Hotel guest (I forgot her name. Carol?). The documentary made me want to book a room at the Cecil Hotel as I have a fondness for old sketchy urban hotels that used to be fancy — decades ago.

Last show - Loki (no spoilers) and The Ultimate Fighter.

Currently reading - _4 Months to a 4 Hour Marathon_, Harper’s magazine, a biography about Bonnie Prince Billy, random ESPN articles, and a book about Noise Records.

Tea or coffee - I drink black coffee every day. I do enjoy all kinds of tea, though. Green tea, oolong tea, kalahari red tea, hibiscus tea, black tea, earl gray tea, and on and on and on. Mostly hot tea, but I enjoy it over ice — especially mint tea at Bonnaroo. So, I drink more coffee, but the answer is both.

Currently working on - completing a 64 Bourbons Bracket (obviously), training my son for cross country, training our dog, trying to banish moles from our yard. Also, I am training for two upcoming marathons and I hope to run the second one (in early November) in under 4 hours. And I am working on redevelopment of my six pack abs. 🤣
