More TED LASSO

I am one of those folks who has become addicted to the loopy optimism and complicated heart of TED LASSO.

Ted's team goes on the road in the current episode. If you have access to the series on Apple+, you must see it. Episode 6 shines with four things I love -- Chet Baker music, Burt Bacharach music, the beauty of Vincent Van Gogh and male bonding.

Here's a Season 3 trailer.


LET'S GET LOST is the name of a documentary about jazz musician/vocalist Chet Baker that was made by Bruce Weber and released in 1989. Baker sang "Let's Get Lost" on one of his albums. The song came from a 1940s Paramount musical called HAPPY GO LUCKY starring Mary Martin, Dick Powell and Betty Hutton.



I'll end with a quote from Lasso team player Zava in one of this season's episodes:

"if you put your energy into the thing you truly love, the Universe puts its thing back into you."

<sigh>
