NFL 2026 Draft - Day 2. As some of you know, my grandson Noah is finishing his Junior Year at Penn State - another college known for football - the Nittany Lions. The Penn State star quarterback since Noah started there was Drew Allar.

As I watched the NFL draft over the past two nights, I was waiting to see if Allar would be picked up ... And so he was last night by none other than the Pittsburgh Steelers - one of my favorite NFL teams - and always followed by my daughter Zsia and her family. What a thrilling moment!

With veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers still undecided about returning, the Steelers have room for one more. As 6'5" Allar begins his professional career I believe he will become a major pro player in the future. It will be interesting if Aaron Rodgers becomes a mentor to Allar.

Allar started in 35 games for the Nittany Lions from 2023-25, going 26-9. Allar ended his Penn State career with the school record for completion percentage (63.2%) and interception percentage (1.3%). In total, he threw for 7,402 yards, which ranks fourth, and 61 touchdowns (third).

Trump set to attend his first White House Correspondents' Dinner as president. Trump's planned attendance gives him a new venue to air his grievances with the journalists who cover him   NBC- April 25, 2026

Social Scene: Your Guide to the 2026 White House Correspondents Dinner Weekend

The White House Correspondents' Association dinner social scene is as crowded as ever, with at least 20 parties and events scattered throughout the week and at venues across the District. Some of the newcomers to the 'Nerd Prom' -related lineup include a much buzzed about event hosted by LGBTQ app Grindr, and another get-together, "The Green Room," at the Irish ambassador's residence.

I generally don't watch the WHCD because I don't like roasts. Making fun of others is not something I find humorous. It appears that this year the venue has change. Instead of a comedian hosting and roasting the room, the featured entertainer is Oz Pearlman, a well-known mentalist marking a shift away from the usual comedy roast format to something more focused on mind-reading, illusion, and entertainment. Many wonder what Trump will say in his tumultuous relationship with the press.

What could possibly go wrong when you have a mentalist and mental patient as entertainment tonight.

Stagecoach Festival is an annual country music festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. Organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Presents, it is a sister event to the Coachella festival, and held on the weekend immediately following the conclusion of Coachella.

First held in 2007, the event has attracted country musicians ranging from mainstream and pop, to folk, bluegrass, roots rock, americana, and alternative country, with a focus on veteran performers and up and coming acts. It is the largest and highest-grossing country music festival in the world.

Before I went to sleep last night, I watched a show that featured Spotify All-Time Most-Streamed Artists, Albums, Songs and More. In observance of its 20th anniversary, for the first time, Spotify created this list based on the most streamed artists, songs, albums, podcasts and audiobooks in its history.

In my wake-up dream this morning, I discovered that an album I owned contained a hidden track - something unavailable anywhere else. In the dream, I replayed it over and over, trying to confirm it was real, though I couldn't recall the artist. I only knew it wasn't a ballad, but something more energetic.

The scene shifted. I shared my discovery with several important people. Suddenly I was being chased by figures intent on stealing the album. Then I woke up.

It makes me wonder ... Could this be a reflection of how I view the music industry today?

Another thought came to mind. If reality was created by algorithms of harmonics and light - was I trying to save the original "Soul Note" that started and ends the simulation? Just saying.
