The Weekend Setup: October 12, 2023

What to Listen To: Ryan Adams 1989

It seems like the NFL is going to keep riding the Taylor Seift train as long as they can and she keeps going to Chiefs games. I find it annoying, but whatever.

Personally I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, nothing against her, I just don’t listen to her music. I don’t think I’m exactly her targeted demographic though and probably can’t name 3 of her songs. That said, there is one Taylor Swift cover album that I think is pretty great. Ryan Adams took Swift’s album 1989 and put his own spin on it, turning the more producer sounding pop songs into a stripped down, alternative rock version. So give Swift some songwriting credit, because if I had just listened to the album without knowing she wrote all the songs, there’s no way I would have figured it out.

Date Night: Board Games and Wine

If you’re looking for a fun and relaxed date night at home, consider breaking out some classic board games and a bottle of wine. Monopoly, Battleship, Jenga, and Connect Four are all great options that provide ample opportunity for friendly competition and flirting. Indulging in a glass (or two) of red wine, such as a rich Malbec or bold Cabernet, only adds to the cozy and comforting atmosphere. Forget about the pressure of dressing up and making reservations, and instead enjoy each other’s company and connect in the comfort of your own home. Board games and wine – it’s the perfect recipe for a memorable date night.

Gear Upgrade: Sleeping Pillow

When was the last time you got a new sleeping pillow? Better question, when was the last time you thought about upgrading the quality of your sleeping pillow? Are you waking up with a stiff neck more often than not? It might seem like a minor change, but upgrading your pillow to one that better supports your head, neck and spine can have a significant impact on your overall sleep quality. When looking for a new pillow, it’s important to prioritize both support and comfort. And the Casper Pillow stands out as an excellent option that provides both. Made with a unique pillow-in-pillow design, it ensures that your head and neck are properly aligned throughout the night. I was recommended to check out Casper pillows by my chiropractor and it’s made a huge difference in my sleep quality and how I feel the following morning. I still go in for regular adjustments with my chiropractor, but she notices way less knots and tension throughout.
