Good Wednesday Morning D League

We are going to have a very pleasant day with a current temperature of 70°. Our high will be 78° with the winds ,SSW at 7 mph our humidity is 44% with a UV Index 8 of 10. Full sunshine

On this day in 1967 I talked my Captain into a 3 day pass and headed from Ft Knox to Ashville, NC to marry my bride and we have been on a 54 year journey since saying I Do. It has taken us lots of places and God has been good to us and blessed our marriage.

To celebrate, we are going to take a day trip down to a little Greek village called Tarpon Springs. From there we will boat over to Anclote Island where the shelling is nice. After a few hours on the island we will head back and enjoy a nice Greek meal at Hellas Restaurant there on the docks. Great food and atmosphere.

I trust all have a great day

I really enjoyed that little day trip the last time we were down there. I hope you all have a great day out there.
 
How 'bout them baseball Cats!?!

Brought back memories and I found it...

Yeah that is Randy. I forgot about that until you posted... I was looking for another gif but this one seems to depict the outcome...

May an un-heavenly pigeon NOT leave his calling card on your head today. May God tell you no when you request or strive for things not in your best interest. God loves you. God Bless you all...

Put a window box up for the redhead yesterday. She was happy and content for 27 minutes before moving on to something else.
I may stimulate the economy this weekend, just need to figure out the best way.
 
Hello D League

Hope all is well.

Mowed and trimmed the yard yesterday for the first time, meaning spring is here.

I'm ok with Askew transferring as long as we are getting a better PG, if not then I'm concerned. Pipe dream: Jackson returns. Not likely but I can dream right?

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter!

Carry on everyone and behave! or don't its a free country (for now)

Good morning D-League. Hope Wednesday is off to a good start. Went online this morning to buy some baseball tickets for when the Reds come to DC, but they are still too high on StubHub. Suddenly, with things loosening up, sitting in a baseball park with my son in late May and zoning out sounds really great.

It'd be nice to get some unexpected good news on the Cats today, locking in Carr as a point guard, or Mintz announcing he was returning. It'd be too early for the big one: Jackson surprising everyone and pulling out of the draft.
I’ve never had a chance to watch Carr play. I’ve read good things about him on here.
 
Any of you baseball fans read Ball Four by Jim Bouton? There was a big stink over it when it came out in the late 60's. Bouton and his co author became baseball outcasts. Bouton put out some of baseball's seamier side when those kinds of things were hidden from the public. I thought of it because of the Mantle posts. He talked about Mantle's (and others) use of "greenies", his drinking, and being a leader of the "beaver patrol". Various Yankees spent time on hotel roof tops with binoculars looking into hotel rooms for women in various degrees of undress.

BTW Jim Brosnan wrote The Long Season later which also made him an outcast.
 
I'd like to see conservatives/Republicans/christians and anyone else who is anti wokeness start acting like those folks. Boycott and/or threaten to. Money talks.
There's already some that I won't do biz with....like to see it become a national movement.
I know what you're saying and I'm not likely to care what anyone thinks as long as I don't have think that way. My opinions, requiring evidence, are normally not up for negotiation.
This is why I am drifting further and further away from sports. There is no reason for a professional league to dictate how a state should conduct their elections. They are around to entertain not become political. Georgia can survive without the Atlanta Braves.
I love completive sport as much as anyone can and find it rewarding entertainment. Lies simply insult my intelligence and that's not entertaining so I act as you would expect . . . With specific intent not to subsidize and encourage increased societal predation.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 53°F and partly cloudy with patchy fog. Today's high may hit 91°F in the Capital City. Del Rio high projected at 100°F. We'll get to normal seasonal temps next week.

COVID shots: Heard Pfizer shot becoming harder to find. My workplace offering Moderna shots next week. I'd rather take Pfizer. Plan on searching around today for more info.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Is that Spanish for no empathy? Heh, heh, heh,
 
What a day yesterday. I need an empanada. (I will expound at another time.)

Oh, I do pray that each of you have a personal relationship with God. God will never leave or forsake you. I know. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves you, he loves me, he keeps me singing.. God Bless You all...

 
Good morning D League,

Trust all are doing well on this the 8th day of April, 2021. Our weather will be the same today as yesterday. Plenty of sunshine and blue skies.

We had a nice day trip to Anclote Island yesterday to celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary. The Captain of the boat in the picture behind me had had a few bourbon on the rocks too many and ran his vessel into a sand bar. Not good.

Lesson learned. Don't drink if you don't know the depth of the water below you.

I hope everyone is safe Sawnee -- especially Ginger and Mary Ann...

And happy anniversary. What a great accomplishment - 54 years!

Good morning D-League. Cruising along, after my 5-mile walk and shower and back to my "home office."

Had trouble sleeping last night because I got some really bad news on a friend - Canadian war correspondent Matthew Fisher, a real solid guy, is not expected to live many more days because of a failing liver. No hope for a transplant. He's a guy in his mid-60s who's probably seen more of the world than any human I know, and who had some remarkable experiences in places like Rwanda, and in 2003 with a USMC unit that got ambushed by Iraqi armor and had to call an airstrike in on itself...I met him in Kuwait City in March, 1991 and we spent time together in places ranging from Kosovo to Haiti.

Put him on your prayers and, or good wishes list.

Morning folks. It is a rainy 59.7°F; so far .21 inches.

I got the yard mowed and I put out some grass seed in what was my garden patch. I waited too long as it should have been done in January, but that is what old folks do.

Best of luck to Matthew Fisher, hopefully he will not be in a lot of pain.

As I near 75 years old you realize that it will happen to you in the not too distant future. I only prayer is that it is painless.

Thanks Bert. When contemporaries start to pass, which is where I am in my mid-60s, you start to understand what that means. As with many of you, it makes me all the more grateful for my family. Matthew used to visit me at my Maryland home during his trips through Washington. He got to know my kids. And he confessed that was his regret - he never had a family, for various reasons, much of it having to do with working overseas for so many years.

And it also makes me try to, as Warren Zevon said, "enjoy every sandwich," appreciate the moments as they happen.

Thank you for the kind words. Ginger and Mary Ann were asking for a drink the last I saw of them. LOL

54 years is a bunch, no doubt. Here is a 54 year old picture of us taken at Fort Knox a week after I brought her to Radcliffe and we moved into our apartment off base. Lots of water under that old bridge but she has aged well. Really well
