What I liked about him was.......you could hear his love for the Cats in his voice..........He was real..........
Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and cloudy with 92% humidity. Today's high should come in at around 84°F. Nice.
And then there were 16. UCLA roughed up my Abilene Christian Wildcats. Kansas getting pounded yesterday = Groovy. Happy for Leonard Hamilton and FSU . Not happy Wolverines beat LSU. PAC-12 for real this season. Wow.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Nothing like hearing "That's left to right on your radio dial".
Good Morning all,
I have an appointment this morning to see my cardiologist. A regular thing but who knows. I am thankful...
May your day today be a day to remember in a good way to where you can look forward and look back to this day as being a start of the good to come. God Bless you all...

Prayers. I'm sure God will protect.
Good luck. Wishing you only the best.
I got to know Cawood some from being in the Committee of 101. When he would broadcast, he would always come in early, before the gates opened, and I got to talk with him some. After he retired, he and his wife, Frances, would always stop and talk to me on their way to their seats. Just very nice, humble people. I thought so much of him that I bought a bunch of personal items that belonged to them, at auction. From his personal desk chair, china, lots of personalized books, memorabilia, etc. He had more horse racing things, than UK stuff. He truly loved UK, but I think horse racing was his first love.

Never been to a cardiologist. The thing with the Army hospital here is that they will not refer you unless you come in complaining about chest pains. I have never had a stress test or anything of the sort. I requested a test a year or so back and they said they could not unless I had problems. Whatever happened to getting check ups and preventative measures? I would like to know where my health is in regards to my heart.
Well we have a nice morning in store and I think I will take a day trip. Just heard on the radio since Inauguration Day gas prices have increased 76 cents a gallon down here. Thanks Joe, keep it going, I think you can make it to $5.00 a gallon by the end of the year. Yay!!!
My wife loves Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and Lakeland, FL has a very nice museum of this work. We will meet her cousin and husband who are coming up from Sebring. There is a very nice restaurant in Lakeland called Harry's that should be a nice place to eat.
All in all a good day.

Well, since some nut job attacked the Asian massage parlor, it seems the new crusade is to combat Asian-American hate. I didn't realize that I hated Asian-Americans, but the media says I do, so I guess I need to rethink my position. I suppose that after the attack on the grocery store in Boulder, yesterday, I will have to watch my step in Kroger, since I must have a latent tendency to wish harm on the produce workers, or those in the meat department, there. The government has said this was a random act, and it was not a hate crime, so why does the media have to blow everything out of proportion, and try to start a social issue that probably doesn't exist? I'm sick of the senseless violence, but I am just as sick of the media.
We are taking the entire family to WDW in late June. I told my wife that gas would be $3.50 by then. Our price for regular unleaded was $1.59 on election day. Yesterday, the price was $2.69. Someone on facebook said that instead of making fun of Joe tripping, we should pray for him, since he is still our President. I said that I was praying that his policies wouldn't raise gas over $5 a gallon.
Didn't he raise miniature horses.? Something like this.
I never talked to him about it, but I believe that I read somewhere that he did. I have a lot of Breeder's Cup things that were personalized, several horse racing books that were given to them, by friends, that were signed, a nice clock, and a few other racing things. He loved horses and racing.
I am just praying gas will only be $5.00 by the summer. These liberal nuts want to make it as high as the Europeans and Japanese pay. Meanwhile we have so much oil reserves we couldn't use it all if we tried.
But I prefer nuclear power and that is a pipe dream now. If they don't like petroleum you know they hate nuclear.
And pretty soon, you will not be able to travel as you once did. Within the next 5-7 years, assuming the Democrats stay in power, and the way they are buying votes, it is a pretty good assumption, 90% of cars will be electric. You will only be able to travel about 2-3 hours away from home and then you will have to plug into a charging station before going further. To visit California, from Kentucky, and return, it will take you three weeks, and that is just travel time, alone.
Sawnee, while her disgraceful traitor antics in North Vietnam will always be the main reason to loathe Jane Fonda, her role in that ludicrously exaggerated movie China Syndrome, that helped kill the chance America would have a robust nuclear power industry, is probably in second place. Liberals kill nuclear power - and now admit it would be the cleanest realistic source.
Anyway, good morning D-League. I'm cheered up by the 34-point blow out of the cheaters from Lawrence. It gives me optimism that Calipari will use this summer wisely, put a normal Kentucky team on the floor in November--post Covid -- and that Kansas will have to deal with the NCAA sanctions so that UK's all time wins lead grows back to a safe margin.
Yeah, I had the nuclear stress test a year and a little more ago. Have the artery disease but it is moderate to minimum. The doctor tells me to let him know if I have pain in my chest. The last year or so I have had off and on pain but I am not sure if it the upper body workouts I do or carrying around my 30 pound grandson or my 20 pound grand daughter. I do that regularly but with them playing around I hope the doctor can tell the difference. I'd like to be sure.
I go to the VA for regular treatments and some annual stuff but if anything abnormal at all, I use my health insurance for an outside doctor. The VA uses my health insurance too. I have concern the VA is not about anyone's longevity....
Good morning! Good news this morning about Kansas. Fully intended to watch that game but my wife had some things set to tape and I told her to just leave them be and if I was still awake I'd watch the second half. 34 points is going to sting for a while.
Yet another mass shooting, this one in Boulder. Dude used an AR 15 type of rifle. They're going to come hard after them now.
Have a great day! Tee time at 1109.

Think I mentioned this before. Used to talk to Cawood quite often while at school. Had no idea till years later that we were related. Talked to him once or twice after. I pulled out a family genealogy a while back and as best I can figure (I'm terrible at this...calculus is easier) we were like 2nd or 3rd cousins once removed. Maybe.
His love of horses/racing may be family related as well in that it ran in the family roots.

I had the same test, along with an echogram. I had one artery that had very slight buildup, but I did have some calcium buildup on my aortic valve. He said it was functioning fine, and, at 69, unless it got worse, not to worry about it. Who knows? Something is going to take me out, eventually.
That reminds me of the old joke about three guys who were talking about a buddy they had just lost. One said, "At least he went quick. How do you want to go?" One of the other guys said, "I want to go in my sleep." The second guy said, "I want to just fall over dead, from a heart attack." The first guy, who asked the original question, thought about it for a minute and said, "I want to die at 110, at the hands of a jealous husband."
All I can say is that you need to build up some resistance to Golf. Discipline never hurt a soul! JUST SAY NO! 😁
Morning all. It is a cloudy 59.9°F here with rain expected. But I will take it. The grass is growing like crazy.
On August 9, 2020 Sherry and I want to Bowling Green town square that after noon to film commercial stock with Rand Paul. After the filming (really boring setting around and arguing sports!) we went to eat at a nice restaurant. We went home and watched a movie we had DVR'd.
I felt great. I went to bed at 12:30 am. In five minutes, I had to get up to take some bicarbonate of soda for a bad heart burn. I laid back down and starting sweating like some cartoon character. I got up and told Sherry to call 911. They told me to chew up a 325-grain aspirin. The only discomfort was my elbows ached.
In 15 minutes, the EMS was here and put an ekg on me and instantly knew it was a heart attack. They squirted nitroglycerin in my mouth, and I was instantly fixed. They took me to the hospital. They gave me a blood thinner and started prepping me for a heart cath. Later that morning they did the heart cath and it was that I would need surgery. Because of the blood thinner I could not be operated on until Friday the 13th of 2010! Three days later I was home.
I never missed a commission meeting and the following January I was elected Mayor and my heart is still working fine. I am yet to have pain from my heart. We are all wired differently, and our internal nerves are not designed to give us full coverage like our skin. So just be aware that you can have a heart attack with no pain whatsoever.
I now go to the heart doctor once or twice a year. So far, ten- and one-half years later, I am still not plugged up.

He could always join a chapter of Golfer's Anonymous. I am a charter member.
That's for me. A heart attack with no pain. If I have to have one, I choose Bert's option, however, I have to question the wisdom of having heart surgery on Friday the 13th.
Lady Cats vs Iowa for a chance playing in Women's Sweet 16 at 2:30 pm CST today on ESPNU.
Go Cats!
Go Cats!
My ex-wife was born on Friday the 13th. See where that got me.
We eat a lot of soft tortillas......when they get close to the use by date........the Director cuts them up in small pcs and deep fries them..........after they have fried she puts spices on them......I prefer some kind of ground hot pepper.........then we dip them in her salsa that she makes..........I have to be careful to not turn into Hog Henry as grandpa called it..............Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and cloudy with 92% humidity. Today's high should come in at around 84°F. Nice.
And then there were 16. UCLA roughed up my Abilene Christian Wildcats. Kansas getting pounded yesterday = Groovy. Happy for Leonard Hamilton and FSU . Not happy Wolverines beat LSU. PAC-12 for real this season. Wow.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I am in meetings up until about 4:30 today. If you'd like I can call you after that and I'd be happy to talk you through it. (May be easier) If so, let me know and I will private message you.
I use postimage. The account is free and it allows me to pick pictures that I take from my files.
Just returned. The Doc told me to come see him again in a year. Now watch me fall over...(I am thankful)
