D-League

My wife is going to N. Car. to visit with her family in mid May for about 9 days. I'll stay here and hold down the fort. Anyway, I was asking about the day she'd be coming back and she started telling me that I would have to stay close to feed the cats. She then said that me and a friend could party here all we want and I told her that he wouldn't be able to party here while she was gone. When she asked why, I told her that his wife wouldn't let him hang out here with a bunch of wild women.

She didn't even bat an eye. :( I thought it was a pretty good joke.
 
What a wonderful night of college basketball! I didn't watch any of it but kept up on the computer. Listening to the Eaves show yesterday and there was no way they were losing to Syracuse. [laughing]

Saw the video of Zion. His shoe blew out on the entire side and his foot went right through the gaping hole. Looked like he sprained his right knee. At least. Didn't look like it bent enough to tear it up.

Duke might fall to 2 after that massive home loss and we'll be put back to 5 to make room for UNC at 3.
 
UPDATE: It is a great night. UL loses by 20 and Florida takes down LSU. Now if UNC can beat Duke. Meh, who cares. The selection committee will make sure the Dukies get a #1 seed regardless. Plus I just can't pull for UNC. Can't do it.
Yeah, unfortunately Duke ([poop]) will get a number one and UNC will too for beating them.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 50°F and calm. Spotty light rain. Expecting low 60s later today.

Huge basketball games last night. Wow, Gators upset LSU. Duke is a different team without Williamson.

On the home front, I may fly to Nashville and back this weekend for a funeral. A buddy I served with over in the desert passed away yesterday. We'll see.

At any rate, we'll check back later. Y'all behave.
 
This may be medically impossible but I swear we have taken turns giving each other the same cold since November.
With the inherent mutagenic nature of the rhinovirus, I expect you are correct. It's not exactly the same cold but likely a descendant. Your immune system acts to destroy the viral infection. A relatively few genetic variants (mutants) survive then reinfect via the moist droplets associated with coughing & sneezing.
 
I'm sitting next to my wife in bed watching television and she is coughing and sniffling, obviously fighting a cold. This may be medically impossible but I swear we have taken turns giving each other the same cold since November. I guess it is my turn.

At this point, I would consider separate beds for a week and try to break the cycle. Enough is enough.
 
Good morning D. Great hoops last night. Glad to hear the relatively good news on Reid Travis. The Cats might take a loss adjusting to his absence and I hate that but the extra work for Nick and EJ could be crucial in March.

Have a great day and stay warm.
If he is not 100% in the next two weeks I hope they keep him out and not take the chance of re-injury before the NCAA and moreover for his NBA hopes.
 
I'll never forget the love I've received from the D league! It seemed like a joke but the omni hotel was haunted. Scariest night of my life
Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you last year at the SEC Kickoff picnic.

I really wish we could have enjoyed your company for much longer.

Good morning D, just got in from a good walk, just trying to build up strength. Got 4 inches of rain in my 5 gallon bucket rain gauge!!! I wish both teams could have lost last night but I had to pick the one I hated the most which was puke!!! wonder if we would have gotten the same response if UK had lost our best player? I finally had to turn the sound off just couldn't take it any more!!! Jay Bias should not be allowed to call those games He is getting worse than Dook Vital! Rant over ya'll have a great day!!!! Beautiful day here in the berg 47 and sunny but but that is going to change!!!!! To all those who have lost friends and to those who are sick my prayers are with you!!!

ATX sorry to hear the loss of your friend! I graduated in 1969, we have already lost close to 20 of our class. The older we get the more phone calls we get like did you know _ _ passed away and we have to go to the funeral home.
 
Good afternoon D-League

Remind me to never buy another NIKE shoe. I had the soles come off one of mine after only using it for two weeks. What happened to Zion last night confirms to me how sorry products are in today's world. Quality is not measured anymore just "coolness"

I was glad to see LSU go down last night and of course Duke too. Duke has problems. This is the team that fell behind to UL by 20 and were down by 20 last night. This tells me no one is playing defense that would be expected in an NCAA championship caliber team. Without Zion they are an also ran. I am surprised because they have 3 other starters who will be in the NBA, two of them are most likely lottery picks. Just goes to show you never can tell.

Spent some time in the pool this morning and I am headed back out once I finish up my sardines and crackers. Pool and air temperature are the same, 85 degrees. The Lord could not give us a nicer day, let us rejoice and be glad in it. My citrus trees and avocados are in full bloom and the aroma is in the air.

Reid Travis come back 100% and let's win number 9.

So sorry to hear this Auxtin, May God rest his soul and comfort those left behind. Several years ago I reached the turning point in life where you attend more funerals than weddings and births. Prayers.
 
Afternoon D
Back to work...feeling better. About 75%...
Sorry to hear about that Austin, I remember him posting. Sad.

I just thought of this (and I haven't looked at the roster)...if Nick or EJ aren't filling in for Reid as well as Cal hopes, do they have anybody else (big man) on the bench? Might get interesting this Saturday.

Thanks. Yeah, experienced it yesterday.

Army buddy I served with in the desert passed away at 1:35 PM yesterday in Nashville at the VA hospital. He suffered a stroke + heart attack shortly after Vandy/UT game in Nashville on January 23. Second stroke occurred last week. He'll be cremated, so I'm not traveling up that way this weekend. Spoke with his girlfriend this morning and we'll hold a remembrance luncheon in a month or so. I'll travel up there for it.

Then Cody, from Louisville, also died yesterday. Crazy. Kid was only 26. I met him during our SEC kickoff picnic back in August. He attended UL for a while.

  1. Army buddy I served with in the desert passed away yesterday.
  2. Then Cody, from Louisville, also died yesterday.
Dad told me 15 years ago that he's lost many more cherished friends and family than he has left. Knowing this comes at the end doesn't make it easier. My condolences for your losses and prayers of peace to those who are suffering with their passing.
