In a statement reportedly released by the Portuguese Football Federation, Cristiano Ronaldo is “well, without symptoms, and in isolation.” Any other details about his recovery remain unknown. Just yesterday (October 12), Ronaldo posted a photo to social media that showed himself along with his entire team sharing a close-knit meal together. “United on and off the field!” he captioned the post.

There have been a number of sports stars, current and retired, who have contracted COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. Cam Newton, Patrick Ewing, Rudy Gobert, Kevin Durant, Jason Collins, Malcolm Brogdon, Nikola Jokic, and dozens of others have battled and recovered from coronavirus. Many leagues implemented “bubbles” to keep their players and staff safe, and it worked, considering there were no new cases reported.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
