Re basketball not rocket science. Different sport, but Vince Lombardi said, "Guys who can draw up plays are a dime a dozen." His meaning was motivation and gathering your team are more important. You can hire guys that can draw up plays.

About ex-wives, mine told my sons I was one of the devil's demons. I was picking them up for one of my weekends and before they came out to me, she stopped them and prayed that the Lord keep them safe from me not knowing I heard her, and I later ask them what that was all about, and they said she told them I was evil.
So, I can tell you mine hates me.
So, I can tell you mine hates me.
My wife doesn't post here, but I'll take the time to say she surely agrees with you.
I've never played bridge. I would like to learn.
I will make this statement; I have interacted with some of you for years. I have talked to one of you personally. I have worked a transaction with one of you, not knowing you other than from enjoying you on this site. Heck I am in some way related to one of you as a cousin or previous in law once or twice removed. Some of you know of my family at one time or another. Several of you know my name.
One thing I do know is I consider most of you good friends. If you know or knew me at all I do not use those words lightly. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things but to me it is extremely comforting to know I have good friends (At least in my part of the equation.). Thank you!
Just know, I will be messing with you tomorrow... 😁 😍

Well, first you find a short bridge and take a longer walk on it..... Uh, or is that... well you will figure it out, that is as close as I can get to explaining bridge. Tonk, Spades, I can play those....
How would she know?
I could have went all day without seeing that.... 😅
I was telling my wife earlier that maybe Oscar and Shaedon have come to an agreement. Oscar will help Sharpe be the number 1 pick, and Sharpe gets them to take Oscar as a package deal. Dreaming is so cool because there are no limits.
Glad I grew up in the days of Vince Lombardi and Bud Grant. Men were men then and they had never heard of, nor thought of, political correctness. They were allowed to be pragmatic.
I'm a bit biased at the moment but yes sir I agree.
Thanks! Abuse of back and knees have caught up with me. I've always stayed in pretty good shape but that doesn't always matter. Little things over time are the culprit. Hopefully it'll pass (again) but if not then it's off to the doc.
Mine, too.
Not you, but me. She hates me. Always really sweet to my face though. Especially if drunk. But when I'm not there she's got some really good lies to tell. I forgave the lies, so now it's between her and our Creator to sort out. But if you ever want a good story...
Dream limitations seem somewhat associated with our visual memory experiences. The subconscious mind does appear without the limits of reality permitting the imagination outside the box discovering alternative solutions to worldly problems. I can imagine Oscar playing with the likes of Sharpe and Dillingham, hard to fathom but would be most enjoyable as a UK basketball fan. I do know I purchase the Cable and SEC Network Sports option solely for the entertain value of Kentucky Football & Basketball. I can confirm it's really lost much of it's allure and no longer represents family values of the Kentucky people and faces a problem not unlike that of Disney. This is not solely Calipari problem. He's made mistakes. He's not the athletic director nor the Governor. There's plenty of blame to share. What I don't want to see is anyone singled out as a scapegoat for poor response to the unprecedented societal confusion where the lunatics in control seem unable to discern fact from fantasy.

MT is a friend of a friend. Works wonders over at CORE Chiro in Hamburg, now. His name is Mike. I don't go there for chiro because they DO pop your spine.
There's plenty of blame to go around. My problem with Cal is that he refuses to change with the times. Similar to Denny Crum refusing to adapt to the 3-point rule. Let me state this for the record, I AM NOT A COACH. UK needs 3-point shooters and not just 1 or 2. The dribble drive is antiquated and easy to defend, just pack the lane. Use your bench and use your timeouts effectively. Zone is not a 4-letter word. Adapt to changes in defense by opposing teams. Centers don't always have to play with their back to the basket. And so on and so on.
Once upon a time Cal had the athletes to manhandle other teams. That time is no longer. Changes are needed. I've always been a Cal supporter but I've soured a bit. 2017 we got robbed by the refs but since then it's been disappointing. Kansas State, Auburn, 9-win year, St. Peters. Even the Covid year that could have been special had turmoil.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still positive. This year's team should be better than last if all the pieces fall into place. Hoping Cal pulls a UVA.

My dreams are pretty mundane most of the time. I rarely recognize anyone in my dreams.
I agree. He has made mistakes. His biggest mistake is not respecting the position as far as it relates to lifelong fans. He has told us our feelings do not matter to him and the standards and traditions we hold dear are meaningless.
If he wants to hold that opinion, then he needs to hide it behind a whole lot more winning.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and cloudy. Occasional drizzle. Clearing later for a high around 86°F.
Day 15 and our appetite is still solid. No messes. Pooping well. Loves boiled chicken. Wife said yesterday she called her twice to eat and she just stayed by the door waiting on me.
Local news announced 10 drownings happened last year out on nearby Lake Travis. Deputies were engaged in recovery operations for 9 consecutive weeks. Yikes!
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
And I was just trying to figure out what color of socks to wear. Just went with black...
Just returned from taking my daughter to the airport heading to SA. (DCA, have to pick her up at Dulles). She is attending the wedding of some high school and afterward friends who are getting married though the prospective husband was recently found to have terminal cancer. A really sad situation. My darling and I didn't mind our daughter taking this trip. Keep their family in prayer please...
We all have our crosses to bear...
God Bless you all...

I probably need to get into the digital age but I just might be too old to fool with it. I have a treasure collection of DVD's and CD's in addition to a wealth of vinyls and even some old .45's.Whoa, that is a treasure. I'd sure like to digitize some DVD's for you...
I have a bunch of, if not most of what I have in a format I can play online. I probably have at least 150 movies. The stuff I like but I am no where near where I want to be as I want to create MP4 format for all the movies I have as that greatly reduces the size of the files.
For instance, I have The Expendables 3 on part of my screen now and can watch it in between the work I am doing. (My employer gets much more than I take.) Of course I have my computer setup right next to my work computer so I really do not have to move other than to twist a little in my chair...
But I have no idea how to do what you are referring to and wouldn't know what an MP4 was if it crawled across my desk. But I can fry up a mess of fish.
Ha, I'd take'em in trade!
I swiped this from RR.... (That's about it...... again!) Kind of funny but also saddening...

Seriously, I really need to downsize. I have CD's and DVD's in boxes in my garage and I doubt I will use them again. I have a select favorites that I play often. I always have several in my truck. Often you will see me about 25 miles from nowhere, windows rolled down and stereo speakers at full blast rolling down the road and just for fun blowing my railroad air horns with the pedal to the floor.

Welcome to the world of awf.........I have three herniated disc, 2,3 &4.....
If you'd ship them I'd convert them for you. Would pay the shipping or at least part of it as well once I knew the amount you were talking about. I'd put them all on a thumb drive or two or three or whatever it took for you and send them back to you. Even an external hard drive if you preferred. (I'd have to wait to see the size of storage required.) It sounds like you'd have some good stuff. (My fee, I may keep a copy of the ones I like...)
I was able to convert VCR tapes as well but I broke my VCR and I haven't repaired it yet.
You don't have to send them all at once. Send some to see the result. Whatever you decide. It is just a hobby for me as I like the older movies and such.

Cal got taken for a ride by that family and Shaedon's school, that much is clear.
Screw them, and screw him. I hope he flops. For once, I don't blame Cal. This kid and his "handlers' pulled a fast one, and I hope it comes back to bite them. He could have played the entire year, and the only reason not to is that he was not confident enough in his abilitities to hang onto a lottery pick slot.

Not so sure I can believe Cal was duped.
I had a policeman one time tell me. "If you commit a crime, we will catch you." A normal criminal commits a crime occasionally. We as police officers do this all day every day. We will catch you." He also caveated by saying; "There are exceptions but very few exceptions."
Cal does this type stuff all day every day. I have a hard time thinking he can be duped. May have been willingly duped but that is my caveat.
That is very kind of you. Let's talk about it and work out the details.
I could send a few items in a small box and see how it works out. I have a lot of older movies, many that have been banned by the PC crowd that own the copyrights. Disney, CBS and others. I managed to get my copy from Japan. A few are old standards with Bing Crosby and folks of his generation. Movies like Song of the South, Dixie, Swannee River, Holiday Inn etc. Most are musical but cancel culture and the PC crowd see them as a threat to our American culture so they banned them.
Enough of that and thank you.
This is a point few are mentioning. If he graduated in May 2021 that gives him a full year to play at UK. So why didn't he?
We are in the Twilight Zone with this coach and this university. I always thought eligibility was one of the first things our athletic department looks at before they hand out scholarships. Now they are trying to convince us he was eligible all last year and I guess Sandy Bell and her staff knew it. They would have to know it if they got his high school transcript and a copy of his diploma. Or do they check these things on the basketball team? Maybe since we only expect them to stay one year no one gives a hoot. Just rubber stamp what Cal does with no questions asked.
I don't care what anyone says Calipari has pretty much ruined basketball for many UK fans. Oh the naive will hang on, the boosters who love the insides of the program will hang on but the everyday, go to work , pay your taxes and raise your family UK fan is finding something else to do. They are leaving more and more every day. I know because I have witnessed it in my family. A topic for another day.
But it is what it is. Some care, some don't.
Good morning! Tee time at 1031. Today will be the fifth day in a row. I hope what little bit of exercise it gives is doing more good than harm. Doesn't feel that way sometimes.
Familiarity breeds contempt.

Tomorrow at 10:30 and Sunday at 8:30 for me. (Canewood)
I've got both Song of the South and Holiday Inn. Has Holiday Inn been banned? I'm assuming it has to do with the black-face scene. God Lord.
I converted my entire collection (VHS, DVD and laserdisc) to MP4. Roughly 1,000 movies. I also converted all of my CDs to FLAC which is a lossless format. It's all stored on a network attached storage (NAS) drive. It's time consuming to do but well worth it. Backing up everything is crucial. My big mistake is that I didn't buy a powerful enough NAS to view/listen remotely. That can be easily corrected though.
Possible record high and sunny for Thunder Over Louisville tomorrow night. Perfect! No way am I fooling with that crowd. I'll just watch it on my big screen as usual.
Post Easter sale. Priced at $2.98 before the holiday and $1.48 after. Purchased 3 bags before Easter and 5 bags this past Tuesday. Highly addictive.
She's an expert?How would she know?
Good morning, D-League
3 hours of interrupted sleep. I'm a walking zombie right now. Head is barely attached.
Daughter's 15 week old puppy ate its nylon leash in about 15min last night. Couldn't get jt to spit it up, so we had to go to the emergency vet. Lots of fun.
Still on observation for a few days. I've got to help a friend remove an old set of french doors and install a new set. Hoping I don't do something painful from (larger than normal) lack of mental acuity
Hope you have a great day yall!

Yeah, I have a few stories too. Including one where I was contacted by the ex-wife of my ex-wife's new husband (one of the guys she cheated with which is why we got divorced) telling me of my ex's arrest for child abuse. She beat the son of her new husband (that woman's child) so bad he had bruises on his head, neck, legs, and testicles. She spent a night in jail for it. The boy's mother was warning me to ensure that it did not happen to my sons as well. I have a copy of the court record (compliments of that woman) which I showed to my ex after she continued telling my sons lies about me. I told her to stop the lying and they will not know. She was furious and started screaming that she will get me for that. Not long afterwards my sons told me that Jeff (her then husband) was going to Judo classes several times a week and was going to take me on in about 6 months. I started laughing and said, "What do you think boys, can he take me?" they said "No way dad, it won't even be close". At that time, I was training most nights and competing on weekends that I was off from the military.
He and I squared off a couple of times (if you could call it that) and she intervened telling him one time to get back in their truck and the other to get back in the house which he did.
Sometimes I wish... no, I would have probably wound up in jail. Below is me in those days. Check out my buddy in the background. No, not Bruce.

That's why I wouldn't have children with my ex. God was good to me that I found things out early in the marriage as opposed to later. Expensive lesson that could have been much much much worse and for more people than just me. I was a fool and Jesus intervened
I have that one also.
