‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Is The Worst Thing In The World Ever
| | Play Armageddon on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad) | |
Grey’s Anatomy has been on the air for ten years. After doing some quick calculations, I have determined that this is ten years too many. My diagnosis: Grey’s Anatomy is a flaming pile of garbage.
My wife, like a lot of women out there, is a fan of Grey’s Anatomy. Or, as it’s often referred to, just “Grey’s”. As in, “Did you see ‘Grey’s’ last night?” “Oh my God, yes! I can’t believe McDreamy!” It’s disturbing. How can anybody like this? Anyways, Thursday nights can be a tumultuous time in the Hahn household. The wife will quietly click to ABC at 7pm, and I feel my body shudder with disgust. It’s the same thing every week. Within a couple minutes, I can’t stop myself from insulting the show’s insipid formula of actors over-loaded with drama and emotion. Then, one of two things happen. Either my wife gets upset and goes to watch it in our bedroom, or I catch myself before I completely piss her off and I retire to a different part of the house. It is physically impossible for me to watch the show without praying for Armageddon.
Grey’s Anatomy is an hour of over-acting, weepy doctors and nurses, and did I mention the drama? The actors talk with constant sass and cattiness. And, like clockwork, there’s that emotional song that comes fading in at just the right emotional moment. Barf! Then, to cap off this weekly crap-fest, Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo) comes in with a voice-over at the end of every show and wraps every stupid thing up from the past 60 minutes with a shallow, moronic soliloquy. Cram it, Meredith.
Recently, I was very pleased to hear that they killed off Patrick Dempsey’s character, Dr. Derek Shepherd. The character’s nickname was “McDreamy”. More like McDouchebag. I was so excited to hear about this McTragedy. When I heard they killed off his character, I had a lot of questions. Was it painful? Did he suffer? Gee, I hope so.
In early May, it was announced that Grey’s Anatomy would be back for a twelfth season, taking it into 2016. One more question. Why God? Why?
COVID-19 Forces another C.R. Business to make a big Change
The Blue Strawberry in downtown Cedar Rapids has been a fixture of the community since 2003. They're known for great coffee, delicious smoothies, excellent sandwiches and they even roast their own coffee beans.
But unfortunately, because of the current state in our world, it's time for the owners to make a transition. The decision did not come easy, and owner Wesley Bryant told me it was rather difficult.
Bryant has decided as of August 10th, 2020, to transition to an online store only. He told me, "In the world of COVID-19, this seems to best option for us. We have seen other downtown businesses go to a virtual workplace, which has resulted in less foot traffic through our establishment."
That means the "physical" location at 118 2nd Street SE will be closing, and downtown Cedar Rapids will be losing one of its most beloved early morning go-to spots. I'm super bummed, I love the coffee at The Blue Strawberry and I'm in there at least twice a week!
But there is some good news.
You can still get all of the fresh, handcrafted roasted coffee beans shipped right to your door. All you have to do is visit blue-strawberry.com to check out all of the delicious selections of coffee. They have plenty of choices with a wide range of flavors.
Bryant told me, "We've been selling our own coffee beans for a long time and we've recently seen growth in our online orders. Closing our brick and mortar location will give us a chance to really dedicate some time and attention to our online sales."
Bryant also hopes to see his coffee in grocery stores, churches, restaurants and other retail locations. He is also launching a subscription service that will deliver coffee right to your front door once a month.
I'm sad to see the physical side of The Blue Strawberry closing, but I'm excited for Wesley on the new adventure he is about to embark on.

MLB’s Field of Dreams Game Reportedly Cancelled
It was only just a dream, I guess... the game between the White Sox and Cardinals, originally Sox and Yankees, is now off according to multiple sources including NBC 5 out of Chicago. The move supposedly stems from logistical issues and not COVID-19, though numerous members of the Cardinals team recently tested positive for the virus.
The Cardinals and White Sox were set to take the historic film-turned-real life field in Dyersville on August 13 before the decision was made to scrap it. It does seem the MLB is poised to bring baseball to Iowa as there appears to be plans for a game at the Field of Dreams in 2021 according to the Des Moines Register.
If more info becomes available, we'll pass it along to you. In the meantime, logistic issues or not, the Cardinals remain doormat. Their four-game series against the Detroit Tigers this week has also been delayed as a result of the recent positive COVID tests.
