Pope was fun to listen to. The crowd was amazing. Good to see a lot of former players there. All around great day.
Played two coed softball games today. We lost both 11-8 and 9-5. We were in both games but blew it late. I have not played coed in years but the guy running our men's team has a coed team and was short 3 people. So, I brought an extra guy and the coach played so, that made just enough to not forfeit.
Not a banner day for me as I have not hit since last year and went 0-4 with 3 walks. Made a couple of errors in the first game but tightened up my D in the second. Since he was so short of players, I played SS, and he played 3rd. He is 62, our leftfielder was 61, and of course me at 66. Not the recipe for really competing against the youngsters. The rest of our people were 40 and under. Some 20-year-olds in the mix as well. Made some hard-to-get snags with the glove which felt good and the team saying they did not know old men could move like that.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and cloudy. Expecting 82°F for today's high.
- Coach Pope said all the right things at his presser yesterday. Really hope we get Reed Sheppard back.
- Tax Day. IRS already raped me.
- Monday, Monday. Wish y'all a great start to your week.

Morning legionnaires!
66° this morning with a high in the low 80's expected.
Have not seen the presser myself, will watch later today after the normal morning workout and walk of the monster. Workout will be moderate because I am sore everywhere this morning after the 2 games yesterday. Going to be a couch potato day today and possibly tomorrow depending on how long I am sore.
Since it was 91° and sunny yesterday, it was hot, and I lost 4lbs from the time I left the house to the time I got home. Drank 4 Gatorades during the games and two beers afterwards so, that gives you enough info as to how much fluids I lost. Drank more water and Gatorades when I got home and gained those pounds back.
Taxes... well, we have to pay this year for the first time in years. Not much mind you but considering we got a little over 3K each year for the last few years in return it is a bit confusing. The only thought we could figure is the pay raise my wife got in June last year taking over a management position in the company she works for (still in limbo about job going away. Should know definitively In May). However, reading up on returns this year we have found out that more people are paying this year so far than did last year so...
Monday, Monday folks. Be careful and safe out there.
@MdWIldcat55 thoughts and prayers again today as this will take time. Hopefully you can find comfort in the Lord.
Good morning folks.
I appreciate all the kinds words of consolation posted on this board concerning my mother's passing. Thanks to all of you - it has helped. I've always known what a thoughtful, caring bunch the D-Leaguers are, and you all have confirmed it.
I'm far from feeling ready to return to the business of the world, but the world is not waiting any longer for me to play my part. So back to work, and my duties as a father and husband. I'm sure all of you have been there and risen to the occasion, as I will try to do.
Have a good day folks.

Won't even go into my taxes this year, just whew...
Sorry, MD. Not many keep their parents till near 70. Lucky you.
UK BB on a real tear. 14-1 in SEC, ranked 3-7 depending on poll/RPI (all up from week before).
Rest of season is hell: TN/FL/AR/V/MSU.

I have both quarterly taxes filled out and stamped on their way to the post office.
At nearly 78 years old they still stick me bad.
We have regular IRA's with enough in them to pay our taxes from, so we don't make quarterly payments, just pay taxes once near the end of the year since they count as IRA distributions which can be done anytime.
I have twelve sources of income and my CPA says collect the revenue and pay quarterly. So I do that.
My CPA said she may have to file an extension. It is very complicated this year. Last week they were "under review". I'm kind of worried. Time is short.
Yes Sir,
I do my own. Just stupid complicated this year. I added another property though and we moved as well but, we've done that before. This year was different for me....
I was used to playing competitive softball, but after I quit, the plant I worked at (a few thousand workers) got up a "company co-ed league " and the guys I worked around wanted to form a team, so I joined. One day I rounded third headed for home plate as hard as I could run. I could see out of the corner of my eye that the catcher was standing on home plate sightseeing. I figured if he was dumb enough to block the plate, I was dumb enough to run over him. When I got about 3 steps from the plate I realized it was a woman. I managed to pull up and not run over her, but pulled a leg muscle in doing so. It has bothered me off and on ever since.
If the Lord doesn't take me home, I am thoroughly going to enjoy tomorrow morning in a manner I cannot express properly.....yet. (If you have a mind, say a prayer for me.) I have to contain myself in a way I do not want to but I must. If I can pull it off properly I will hopefully give an older man a life-lesson. (We can all still learn, no matter our age.) (This guy just actually needs to be put in his place and, what I have to do, just may do it....)
No real surprises so far. Wagner, Z, Bradshaw, Edwards. A little surprised at Thiero but he may come back. Sheppard? I think Perry is a lock. Love the kid. Most likely next year will be full of portal players but that's the way of the world these days. I don't like it but this year may play to UK's advantage. Go Pope!
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and cloudy. Slight chance for rain. High today may hit 83°F.
- Listened to Coach Brooks, Coach Pope and Coach Mingione last night. All were impressive. Enjoyable 2.5 hours.
- Baseball Cats at Cards, 6 pm tonight. Go Cats!
Wishing y'all an awesome day.

Good morning folks.
A beautiful, cloudless, sunny and cool day in the east. I briefly took pilot lessons when I was a teenager, running out of money before I could get a license then getting too busy. But there was a term my instructor used that would apply today - CAVU, ceiling and visibility unlimited.
Back to the DC office, bouncing along on the subway. I got about a third done with the work mountain that accumulated last week. Need to dig faster today. Have a good one guys.

I'm supposed to be back working in that vacinity soon though it is supposed to be at a minimal amount per pay period.
To the Cards fans in here. Whitey Herzog has died. A giant of my childhood. Legend.
Hire a couple of moles, they have been reeking havoc in my yard.

They invaded my sweet potato patch last year. This is only the second year that the;y have been here.....they must've destroyed 250-300 lbs of potatoes........they have already ruined about half of the onion sets I put out (4 lbs) and it looks like I will have to replant my potatoes also........
Anthem, by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. Can't wait to go on Medicare next year.
Careful for what you wish young man.....they can't be any worse that United Health Care......it took three years for them to release me from the Director's work policy and then the company that handled their company benefits with held the $300+ for three pay periods......$1,000 and she never got reimbursed for it....Kindred sold out the new bunch had a new benefits provider.......I told her to steal 1K of mask and gloves but she wouldn't.........
Interesting story for you. Whitey and Roger Maris were best friends when they both played in Kansas City. In the winter of 1961 after Roger had hit 61 homers, Whitey built a new house ( not had it built, actually built it himself). Whitey said without him asking, Roger Maris showed up first thing every morning with his tools and a lunch pail to help him build it. He said Roger would not accept any kind of payment.
Been lurking rather than posting and interacting, but saw this and thought I should share what I've heard works. Now this might piss you off... Human urine. Guy online swears by it. He splashed the holes and poured some little bit in each of their tunnels as best he could. Only had to do it once every couple months or after hard rains from what he said.
Doesn't have to be inundated with it. Just a little here and there supposedly. And no, I'm not messing with you. I'll be doing the same as we're starting to see some and will be planting soon.
Used to use Malathion to kill the grubs that the moles are after. Stunk like heck but used to be labeled to use around fruits and vegetables.) Treat your yard for grubs and the moles will leave. (Not sure what they use to do that now.) Some must be labeled to use around plants.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F.
Cats at Cards last night: what a slug-fest. Cats won 17-13. Led 10-2 and 17-7. at various times. Cards would not go away. I stayed up too late. Vols coming to Kentucky Proud Park this coming Friday-Sunday for a 3-game series.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks. Another beautiful spring day in the east. Why can’t they all be clear and sunny and cool.
Settling back in to work. Another trip next week, to see my son in Texas, so I need to stay ahead of things.
I like the kid Pope picked up yesterday. Watched some video. He’s a baller and two years older than a typical freshman. Let’s get more good news today.

59° this morning with light winds. High to be in the mid 80's.
Had 2 games with men's team last night, I pitched one and the other guy one. We went 1-1 and won one game by one and lost one game by one. We're number 1, well not really but, there were a lot of 1's in this paragraph so...a play on numbers.
My defense has been pretty good, but my bat has sucked so far. 0-4 with 3 walks in coed on Sunday and 0-2 with 2 walks last night. Need to work on my timing and placement. Hit the ball hard last night, but it was right at the second baseman and right fielder. Neither had to move to catch the ball.
Normal workout and monster walking this morning and training my one student this afternoon. Wax on wax off.
Hump day folks, so stoke those engines and get over the hump.
God Bless.

Very sorry for your loss @MdWIldcat55
Glad you could all get together though, and hope it's many more years before you lose anyone else close to you.
