It’s Friday! Warm, cold, windy, tornados, lightning, heavy rain, snow—we got it all in Illinois. I don’t know about you, but I’m more than happy to say goodbye to February.

Actually, all I care about is right now. And right now it’s another amateur Friday with double babes & double jokes. Enjoy.

It’s Thursday. Squid Game was a South Korean drama series created for Netflix and premiered in 2021 to critical acclaim. The series revolves around a secret contest where 456 players, all of whom are in deep financial hardship, play a series of children’s games for the chance to win 35 million dollars. What the players don’t know is, the penalty for being eliminated is a swift and violent death. If you somehow missed the series, I highly recommend checking it out.

But what I want to talk about today is the new Netflix reality series Squid Game: The Challenge. Netflix took the concept of Squid Game and put 456 willing players into a real Squid Game environment to compete in battles of skill and character. Obviously, the players who fail in the competition aren’t killed. But other than that, it’s game-on as players compete for a life-changing $4.56 million dollar prize. I’m not a big fan of reality shows, but the girlfriend and I really enjoyed this one so I thought I’d share it with all of you. Check it out on Netflix if you’re interested.

It’s Wednesday. The past several days have been very abnormal for February in Illinois. We’ve been enjoying beautiful mild weather with plenty of sun and temperatures in the 60 and 70s. That is until now.

As I write this, multiple funnel clouds and tornados are being reported with heavy rain, hail, lightening, and high winds. Fortunately for us, this is all happening just north of us. All this mayhem is caused by a severe cold front that’s moving in that will drop our temperature by 40 or more degrees. We should have some of the horrid white stuff on the ground by morning along with a wind chill near zero degrees.

Now I’m hearing a tornado siren. But according to radar, it’s all still passing to our north. Very odd for February indeed.

One thing that makes it all better? Homemade Lasagna soup in my belly! Mmmm…
