The CBS SUNDAY MORNING POWER RANKINGS The September 5, 2001 edition of Sunday Morning was an emotional roller coaster. There were stories that made me laugh and smile and stories that made me cry. Alright, I'm not really much of a crier. But things got a little dusty. 1) Martha Tiechner 2) John Dickerson We'll start with the stories that made me cry. If you want a way to memorialize the 20th anniversary of the 9/11, Martha Teichner's and John Dickerson's segments are reflective and somber as befits the occasion. It's hard reliving that day, rewatching the footage of a plane smashing into the World Trade Center, even from someone who experienced it from afar. I'm not sure this is what the mean when they say, "Never forget," about 9/11, but here is my recollection of the day: (For what it's worth, I remember all the names of everyone in this story, but I'm not going to use them despite it lending extra verisimilitude because I don't know ...

Not that anyone is actively following the CBS Sunday Morning Power Rankings , but I know I'm behind. Look, it's officially summertime. This past Sunday was probably the nicest day of the summer, low 80's, sunshine. I spent most of my time outside. I rode a bike. I grilled out. I even cooled off in the pool while I could enjoy the outdoors without it being oppressively hot and muggy. Also, I had a home improvement project I needed to knock out. Not that I did that on my own. Shout out to my pops (I never previously referred to him as such.) for helping me out with said HI project. Anyway, I've been saying these things since May, right? I don't get paid to do this, so I could just stop and move on with my life, but my goal is to stick with it for at least a year. Hopefully, I'll continue on, but I also hope to have other another writing project off the ground by then and I don't know if I'll have time for both. There. I wrote it down on the internet, which...

I really am going to try to make this week's recap brief. This past week, I've spent time I'd usually use to bang one of these out to try and catch up on household project/home improvement. No rest for the weary though. French Open Recap Only one of my four picks to make the finals made it. So, no, thank you Nastia . I'm not going to beat myself up failing to pick Barbora Krejcikova to win it. If I haven't heard of someone before, I can't possibly be asked to form a meaningful opinion. I only got to watch Krejcikova in the finals. She has a semi-funky game. On a scale of 1 to Ons Jabeur, Barbora is about a 6. Some people may call her game junk tennis because of the reliance on the heretofore rarely seen slice forehand. But maybe this is just what happens when a doubles specialist starts finding success in singles. All heartwarming stories about her relationship with the dearly departed Jana Novatna aside, I'll be rooting for Barbora Krejcikova to win a secon...
