D-League

Good morning folks. Back from a long run in the rain. Hot coffee rarely tasted any better.

Doing some chores around the house. Then joining my daughter and her boyfriend for a nice lunch in DC. They are back from a trip to the Caribbean and wanted to get together.

Hope it is a nice day for all of you.

Am back home now, My Darling and the BB are still sleeping though I know My Darling is up. She NEVER sleeps this late. I am at the front of our home trying to stay quiet. They both needed the rest and quiet.

Had a good meeting. Our Pastor spoke for a bit and before that, I had this...(Put some butter on the pancakes though...) and filled that cup three or four times....

Sir, about the only one I never could make myself buy was that "The Barbarian and the Geisha".... Just never could... ;) (I have in the 120's, the number of his movies I own.....) I haven't digitized them all but it only takes a few minutes to do that if required and I want to see them.

I think it is stated John Wayne made 175 movies. I know I have not seen all of them. I have ten or so I have yet to watch, one day I will I guess.. Who knows but I like the ones I've watched so far... ;)

I saw most of The Quiet Man I think it was called. Not one of his top movies, but a guy named Victor McGlaglen co starred in it. He was a Brit and an interesting character. He joined the Brit army at 14 to fight in the Boer War. They found out his true age and kicked him out. He joined again to fight in WW1 and they kept him this time. He was heavyweight boxing champ of the British army in 1918. He traveled with a circus where anyone who lasted 3 rounds with him won money. He was also a pro wrestler and pro boxer. He once fought Jack Johnson in a 6 round exhibition match. If you watch that movie, take note of Victor. He was an older fellow by the time that movie was made.

Good morning folks.

Looks like the rain which lasted here from daybreak til bedtime yesterday has passed. Should be a nice Sunday.

Had a nice visit with my daughter yesterday. No plans for today. Maybe I’ll drive up to the mountains,

Hope you all are doing well.

Yeah, even though we have separate bank accounts, if I buy a new rod and reel and she is there to see it, she generally ask me: "What happened to the other ones?" I tell her: "Mind your own woman, I need this one." That works most of the time.

I usually just go to Academy when she is at work so, she does not see what I buy. But if I order from Bass Pro Shop, she might get home before delivery.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. We're under excessive heat warning Today's high expected around 92°F.

Cats lost to Vandy in rubber match. Finished tied with with Vols for share of SEC title. Heading into upcoming SEC tournament as #3 seed. Go Cats!

Watched "Lost Home Movies of Nazi Germany" parts 1 and 2 last night via YouTube. 50" HDTV = huge difference. BBC Select films, produced in 2019. Very educational.

Still packing for trip....

Wish y'all a peaceful, enjoyable Sunday.

Sherry and I watched McLintock and War Wagon.

For the record, I do not have 175 John Wayne movies so I retract that I have them all.

I am starting to sound like Michael Cohen.

Solid roster but Pope needs to reel in one of the two potent scorers still considering Kentucky — Jaxson Robinson and Chaz Lanier. Both would be sweet. I have a feeling Perry and Noah and possibly Chandler are a year away. So there will be room for at least one of them to start, and minutes for the rest.

My last count Sir is 128 I own. I have actually searched but not deeply and not lately to find a good list of his movies online. Yes, I'd like to watch them all but I doubt that will ever happen. I just take the joy when I can.

I have all of the surviving Charlie Chan movies. 42, I think. I believe 6 were lost to posterity. I am not a fan of Ted Turner but he did an admirable service by saving so many old movies

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and partly cloudy. Excessive heat warning in effect. Today's high expected around 92°F. * groan * 5 months of hot weather inbound.

- Largely packed for upcoming trip. Missing a few things.

- Weekend too short.

- Try getting haircut today or tomorrow.

Monday, Monday... Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

Good morning folks. Cloudy and cool in the east.

Nice weekend. Mostly quiet and relaxed. I watched the Nuggets choke away a game 7 at home, without Ant Edwards even having a big game. Normally not a big NBA guy, but my son is, and it gave me a chance to share something with him remotely —watching and texting. When the Nuggets were up 20 at the half it seemed like the game was over, but in the nba truly that’s never the case til the final buzzer. Murray was on his way to being star of the game, but they shut him down in the second half.

Out for a walk now, then the usual Monday headaches. You all have a good one.

Morning Legionnaires!

71° this morning with clear skies. Mid 90's on tap for the high so...pretty hot.

Played 2 coed softball games yesterday and lost both. 11-9 and 16-2. That brings us to 0-4 so far this season for coed. We are behind 8 games since we missed 4 weeks to rainouts. Not sure this team will stay together for the make-up games if we don't start winning a bit. I did not help much as I went 1-3 and a walk. Only got to the plate once in the second game as it was over by the 4th inning. Our men's team is 8-1 so, I got that going for me which is nice.

Rather tired this morning so, the monster walk is still on, but the normal workout will be modified (shortened).

Go get it today folks and stay safe out there.

And God Bless the D-League.

Go CATS!!!
