Blackshear to Florida. The roster is set and I'm fine with it. I doubt Dante reclassifies but who knows. Regardless, UK will still have one of the best teams in a weak year for NCAA basketball.
I saw that earlier. Kentucky ain't for everybody.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F. Could see highs today in the mid-90s. Heck, we experienced brief showers yesterday afternoon as I rode to the credit union. Lovely. Looking rougher today.
Gotta pack after work. Plan on taking a bicycle again this year. Must also take cousin's laptop he'll use in his new plumbing business.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Hats off to the Dores.
Vanderbilt pitching dominates Michigan to win second College World Series.
That one is for my good friend, Mike, who passed away earlier this year. He was a lifelong Nashville resident and Vandy fan. When the Dores won their last CWS a few years back, he told me he'd waited 50 years for a national title from Vandy.

Good morning D League and it is a good morning.
Looking outside and listening to the radio the weather should be similar to yesterday. but not quite as hot. The temp is currently 73° and we expect a high near 90°. Slight chance of scattered showers.
For all the hempers, Florida has passed hemp growing so who wants to be a farmer now? The line is getting long. If hemp is not your thing scallop season starts July 1. That is one of the biggest days of the year around here. The boat captains are all out there scouting for the little suckers. The water is crystal clear but they are not easy to find in the grass. But the harvest is worth it. If you know how to cook them scallops are some good eating.

Good morning D-League. Hot and sweaty in DC.
Hated to miss out on the Blackshear kid. The only positive I can come up with: He was going to change the way the Cats' played, and make them a more traditional, feed the interior team. With Hagans, Quickley, Maxey, Whitney, Brooks, Juzang, and EJ, this team is better suited to unclog the lane, spread the floor, attack the basket and kick out to Sestina for a corner 3 or throw up a lob for Nick. No, it isn't a better team without Blackshear. But it may be a team built to play a style for which it is better suited.
That's what I'm trying to convince myself, anyway. Have a good day folks.

Hello D league!
Just a small update on my little life.
Remember the interview I asked about? I went ahead and told my 1st line supervisor about it. He appreciated my honesty and said if called a positive reference would be given. Make a long story short I got the job which means a pay raise and more time at home and less time in hotels across KY.
Other than that....same ole same ole.

Glad it worked out for you.
Congrats on the job.
74.8°F and sunny. It is going to get hot today. Going to Cracker Barrel for lunch with one of Sherry's class mates.
I got the yard edged and mowed yesterday and roundup was applied to the maverick weeds in the mulch.

Congrats on the new job and the ability to spend more time at home.
Bought a Traeger pellet smoker today. Much bigger than my weber smokey mountain. Looking forward to giving it a try.
Yesterday anniversary was dinner at Cunningham's Creekside and trip to horseshoe..had to fill out tax papers. Awesome time with my soulmate

Afternoon. Strange how the night moves.
Wow, just read the last two pages. Great wisdom here in the D. FCC.

Champagne and Caviar.When I was a boy having a Coke was a treat. Daddy didn't bring them home so the only time we got one was at a filling station or the General Store. A Coke was 6 oz., a Pepsi was 10 oz and an RC was 12 oz.and they all cost 5 cents, so I preferred RC. And most of the time I had a Moon Pie with it. Also 5 cents. We also had a 16 oz. Double Cola but I saved those for extra hot days and drank them with a pack of Tom's peanuts.
Speaking of old sodas...
I remember my parents taking us to the one in Lexington.
Here's another classic.
I'll be praying that everything goes well for your wife.
This is the best non cola drink in the history of non cola drinks. But it has to be Nehi.Here's another classic.
It's been noted in several venues that if the NBA wasn't willing to take a stab at this dude in the early second round, then he might not be the game changer that everyone was making him out to be. We'll be fine with what we have.
I wish I had had access to the wisdom of the D league when I was your age. There are a multitude of life experiences here and a person would be a fool not to take heed of a widely held belief of right and wrong. Trust the D! We'll save your life.

Bert is a rascal. Gotta watch him. Not in this situation though. Bert know's where, when, if, and how his bread is buttered.
Thanks. As bad as cancer is, melanoma is a really cruel form of cancer. You think you are free of it, and one day it shows up in your liver, and you have 6 weeks. At least if you have another form of cancer you can usually remove it, radiate the area, or take chemo, to keep it from spreading. Not melanoma. All you can do is pray it doesn't show up.
Radar O'Reilly thought so, too.
Me too! I was disappointed for a minute maybe two before I settled down.
Hey D League, Everyone say a prayer for UKGrad93’s daughter and family.
UK Sports means nothing.

Don’t want to downplay the kid’s talent, which is evident. It’s not NBA talent, just as Reid Travis is probably not an NBA player. But he’s a good college baller.
But even before he decided, I’d voiced my misgivings about whether he was the right player to join this Kentucky team. He just would have changed the dynamic on the offensive end. People are calling Nick the big winner in Blackshear staying away but I think it could be Keion Brooks. I have a sneaky feeling without Blackshear we’ll see some Keion as a quick, agile 4.

Definitely puts things in perspective.
Also agree with @ymmot31 lots of wisdom floating around in the D league. Glad I can bounce things off y'all.
I don't know the situation. Got a link?
Never mind. I found it on NOB.
For those interested, linky to Prayer request post ➳
