1. Mom has been gone 1 week and 6 hours as I type this out. She was my world. Things have not been easy. I will move on and continue living. It is what she wanted and expected. Even though I knew it was coming, it has not been easy handling her being gone.

2. I sort of paid attention to LoL Worlds. Even though NA is not very good, I have hope that each Worlds will see NA do better. Thus far they have been consistently bad.

3. Same thoughts on college football. I like to know the final scores. That is about it.

4. My old high school football team remains undefeated so far this season. Last night they won 49-0 in the 2nd round of the state playoffs. They are in the final 8 of their class. Next Friday should be a tougher game. If they win and make the semis the game in the semis will be very tough.

5. I continue to play Phobies. It is on Steam and if F2P. If you enjoy card games you should give it a try. I have over 600 hours in it according to Steam.

6. FM23 has been released. I failed in my attempt with Como of Serie B. I switched to Oxford City of tier 6 England. Things have gone better. Not amazing, but better. You can watch me on www.twitch.tv/southernstar71 as I attempt to make the playoff in the first season with Oxford City.

7. Game Pass is such good value. It allows me to try several games that I wouldn't otherwise get to play.

8. Check out my YouTube and give me a free sub.  www.youtube.com/c/southernstar71

9. I missed having these be weekly. I feel like I had a good reason to miss out on being timely with them.

10. My Dad would be 83 today. Happy Birthday Dad. I miss you.

11. I miss my Mom a lot. Her being gone is still raw. Staying busy and keeping my mind occupied helps. When will I make a day without crying?
