1. Which NFL team is like the most boring to you? One that you don't care about negatively or positively.
St. Louis Rams. Arizona Cardinals too
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him?
I pull for all of them. Who seems boring? Generally i would say the long-snapper. But we have a new one, maybe is a wild & crazy guy.
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
No, not really.
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
I love everything about Summer. So I will say waiting for football to start ... even though I wouldn't change it.
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
Houston. Indianapolis too.
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
Don't know yet, pretty spontaneous in that regard, but it will be a beach town ... even though I live in one.

Here is today's survey.....about things that bring you Ennui this time of year: Give your opinions:
My own answers:
1. Which NFL team is like the most boring to you? One that you don't care about negatively or positively.
Probably a couple of NFC/AFC South teams, like the Falcons, Bucs, Jags, 49ers. No love, no hate, they are just there.
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him?
Probably backup players....guys that haven't done much...nor screwed up much. Tank Carder, Jeremiah Poyer, a couple of backup OL, that I probably can't even name. Is Ryan Seymour a Browns player? eh.
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
Obviously since I asked the question the Cleveland Indians are engendering extreme apathy for me right now. Unlike the 90s where you had so many colorful, interesting...good players, there isn't a single guy on this team that I have any connection with at all. The whole team seems colorless, lifeless to me. Even a couple of good players like Kipness are kind of "so what" guys. There are no bombers on this team that excite you. No speedsters. Just a bunch WTFever players. Fair to say?
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
Cavs losing Finals, Indians boring as hell, and the humidity. Probably because I am carrying too much weight, but I have never done well in hot sticky weather. Not my cup of tea, unless I am sitting poolside with ice tea. (and I have little opportunity to do that)
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
I have been to 99 of the top 100 largest cities in America. Of the "Major League" cities...towns with major league teams, the most mundane to me are probably: Indianapolis, Dallas, Newark, and yes, Columbus.
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
The only true vacation I have this summer is to go and stay at a resort just outside of Morgantown WVa. It should be fun. We will do some white water rafting and some fishing, and a lot of sightseeing of small towns, historic sites, and hiking around mountains/lakes/rivers/parks. There is more in eastern WVa/SW Pa./Western Maryland than you think.
I do have a couple of other trips to make, but those are for picking up kids and taking them to school. I there I may get in one day of sightseeing/auto touring.
(I do have a couple of fall trips...when I prefer to travel: Park City Utah, and Texas)

While I have been through Houston, I haven't spent enough time there to tell if it is mundane...though it seems like it could be. A couple of things there that I have not been to may in fact be somewhat interesting: The Astrodome, the Space Center.

The "beach towns" I have on my bucket list are Ocean City MD, Long Island, The Big Sur, and Kauai. (but none this year)

3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
Yes, The Indians have one of the WORST front office/owner situations in baseball. The owner won't spend enough money on good players, and when he does spend money, the front office signs has-beens and re-treads
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
All this rain

Panthers and Jags. Slow getting used to the new ones
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him
Lots of second tier guys, but from our starters Id say Kruger and Robertson are kinda grey matter to me
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
Yes. But for me its more of a baseball thing. Though Dolan has killed any chance of me being interested of having hope...
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
Im miss my dog
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
Lots...but places im forced to frequent that NEVER get me excited are Dallas, Tucson, Lousivlle Ky and Ada Ok....blech....(I will say Tucson has lots in the area to like if you visit for vacation...but as a "city" ?....not so much...
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
Bradenton and Clearwater twice in the next three weeks.....very much a bitter sweet trip(and a little mundane) as Im helping my daughter relocate due to a recent promotion......so, yes, proud and happy for her, but will miss her something terrible....
-
1. Um, like, idk. Like the Bucs I guess...
2. Kruger. Schwartz. FBs not named Oby
3. Every baseball team
4. Working long hours in a plant when it is nice outside.
5. My current city, Fort Wayne, IN.
6. Ann Arbor and back home to Cleveland.
-
1. Atlanta
2. McDaniel
3. Yawn
4. No football until late July camps
5. Toledo (once jilted by a girl there a million years ago)
6. Just returned from Maui and Kauai. Driving my daughter back from Cali. via Yosemite and Grand Canyon in July before flying out to see siblings in Colo in Aug. Lots going on this summer.

Outside of the AFC north, teams I don't find boring- Green Bay, KC.
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him?
Ditto Zombo.
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
Baseball sucks in general- and the Tribe in particular this year. I'm more interested in the fact ESPN caught Charlie Hustler has been lying out his ass forever- again. Now if you're interested in starting another thread "which 5 professional athletes, current or past, do you despise the most"? Pete is 1A AND 2B, followed by Kobe "the Rapist", "Little Criminal" Ray Lewis, and A-Roid. Honorable mentions to Roger Clemmons and Barry "FatHead" Bonds.
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
Nothing- I love summer, except for the midwest humidity.
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
Had to think about that one- Boise, Idaho.
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
Nowhere this summer- if I was going anywhere significant, Wyoming or Alaska would be on my radar. Bucket list is Tahiti or Australia.

Tennessee. Not sure why.

John Greco.

That it still rains a lot. Cos, ya know, London.

Just got back from Greece and starting to plan a trip for early autumn. Warm/sunny days in London are too rare to go away over the summer and miss them.

Miami Dolphins. Even though I liked Don Shula, they never moved the needle for me, and their uniforms are absolutely the worst.
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him?
Right now, it's not applicable. In the past, Braylon Edwards & Andre Rison.
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
To a degree, yes. I still go to several games a season, but now, if they fall behind by 3 runs early, I figure the game's over. Absolutely no offense the last few seasons, it's awful.
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
Too much humidity, and the wait between the US Open and British Open.
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
Outer Banks of NC. Too pricey and not enough reasonable priced golf. (and I know it's not a "city").
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and then Whistling Straits for the PGA Championship in our RV. May seem mundane to some of you, but we love the peace and solitude of the UP. Then we arrive at the PGA, with hopefully some good crowds at a golf course I need to see in person.

My son and his wife live in Houston (moved there 4 years ago). I thought the same thing the first time we visited, but it's actually not that bad of a place. Too humid for me, but there's stuff to do, and minute Maid park is awesome for an Astros game.

May be about to change, but TN Titans have been there for me for a while.
2. Which Browns player fits the same description. You seem to neither pull for him or against him?
Closest I can come to an answer is whomever our current Longsnapper is...
3. Do the Cleveland Indians (or, if not an Indians fan, your favorite baseball team) engender apathy in you the way they are me? Yes/no, explain
Apathy? No.... Disappointment is the word.
4. What aspect of summer brings you the Summertime Blues?
The triple digit highs... day after day after day after...
5. What North American City that you have been to is the most mundane to you? Just, you know, like a boring town?
Cincinnati is pretty high on the list, but Omaha probably takes the prize.
6. Where are you headed for a summer vacation? And hopefully you have not chosen a mundane destination. (but, if you have, say so and why)
No summer vaca plans this year. Looking to head to Panama for Christmas. -

If you are bored in Houston, it's your own fault...

Heard The Who's cover of this song the other day on the radio. DJ came on after it and called it their "cover of the original by Blue Cheer."
Obviously this DJ needed a Rockabilly lesson. I could not dial fast enough...

You better hope the rainy season has ended on time (normally mid-Dec.). I went to Jungle School there for 2 weeks in Sept and we were instructed not even to bother with ponchos since it was so humid we would be soaked either way. Best to be soaked and cool than soaked and over heated.

I was originally looking at Costa Rica for this september. A little bit of research later and it's not happening! If I want rain, I'll stay in London.
