It is now 72.5°F here on our way to 87°F. Our nice cool days are shot.

May spray some roundup if I can give myself a prep talk.

You all enjoy your Friday.

A quarter of a century ago, today: I left Kosovo after being there (in the region) since April. I found out my wife was pregnant soon after I got there, that she was having a boy during the hectic days when the NATO troops, including Americans rolled in in June, and got back in plenty of time for his arrival in December. A quick true story: I had an Albanian driver. They are kind of a weird people. He asked me, "You have children?" I said, "Yeah, two girls." He said, "Another child is coming. A son." All this before i knew. I laughed and told him if true I'd make the kid's middle name Skenderbeg, after the Albanian hero of the Dark Ages. But then, it turned out it WAS true. Didn't name the kid Skenderbeg, maybe I should have.

It's HS football season! Going to Dixie Heights/Simon Kenton game this evening with a friend. Supposed to be two decent/good teams. Hope it's close. Went to GS's JV soccer match last night. As a FR, got in 30 minutes of the 80. He did fine. Another match tomorrow early p.m. before it turns back to blazing again. 90's coming for a week - above average but not unusual. Could be the end of the heat. Won't miss it.

Skenderbeg (some spell in Skanderbeg but in Albania I saw it the other way more) was a scrapper...But yeah, it does not roll off the tongue and would have been a hard row to hoe for a kid in elementary school...He was sort of Albania's version of Vlad "Dracula" Tepes, the Impaler...
