Orlando - After running the gauntlet of sports coverage that past two months, I was granted a reprieve from my overlords and given a couple days vacay. Paid time off, no less. What a life! From the World Series through NCAA Football bowl games, NFL playoffs to the Super Bowl in Miami a few days ago, I have been on the treadmill. Or what us beat reporters like to call the "Eternal Grind of Mediocre and Masterful Activities" (EGO-MAMA, for short).

So, once I filed my last blurbs on how Damien Williams should have been the SB MVP, and why Kelce and Mahomes at a Post Malone concert might not be the wisest decision of their young lives (https://www.tmz.com/2020/02/06/post-malone-kc-chiefs-concert-patrick-mahomes-travis-kelce/), I decided a long weekend of R&R in sunny Orlando would be ideal.

I checked into my favorite home-away-from-home, The Hampton Inn & Suites Extended Stay Kitchenette and hunkered down to binge watch some Netflix docs on 9/11 and all the ways our water system is poisoned. I'd gotten about 2/3rds of the way through Gasland when I saw a text from one of my friends. Sheila E was in town and performing at a small club across town. Would I be down to go jam to The Glamorous Life?

OF. COURSE. Gasland would have to wait. I was so hyped to go listen to the best lady drummer and still hot mama in a cool club. I jumped in my sick Ford Focus Tempo XL rental and cruised over to the show. We had a blast - here's a clip of Sheila hitting the skins on a sweet solo run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9UxkiKaHxo

After the concert, we were fiening for some grub and we spotted this place called Hash House A Go Go, and we'd heard they had killer food and huge portions, so we went in and man, let me tell you. This place is like if IHOP, Denny's and Cracker Barrel had a baby that was on HGH, D-Bol, and some of that new stuff Julian Edelman is using. And also, if those places had good food. So imagine really good Southern breakfast food, all giant-sized. I just went straight for desert. I destroyed the giant caramel brownie sundae. Oh, and I also got the WLC BBALL Coaches Poll results.
