D-League

@MdWIldcat55 tell you dad another old man is rooting for him.

I was sort of proud of the Cats last night. They never lost their fight. They were cold from the three but Clemson really put pressure on the shooters. In the NCAA tourney the officials will not allow that type of physical play.

You all have a good hump day.

P.S. I am looking forward to the Auburn / Duke game tonight. Should be a good one.
Bert, one thing that caught my attention was the fact that the guy that had 20 rebounds and NO fouls, I can't ever remember a center fighting for rebounds and no fouls!!!!
 
Good morning from Park Hotel at Radisson by Frankfurt Airport. Currently 31°F, extremely cloudy and chilly.

Nice hotel. Walking over to the U-Bahn S8 and boarding a train to the main terminal. Love these direct flights between Austin and Frankfurt. I've had an awesome trip so far.

Below is one of many reasons Bamberg is a UNESCO World Heritage site. On a clear day, you can take some truly stunning photos.

Good morning folks. Gloomy and a light rain in the east. My wife is running what she swears is her last marathon today, so I hope the weather stays cool but turns dry.

My last work day this week. Heading for Kentucky tomorrow. Dad is still in the hospital but my sister said he was a little better yesterday.

Thanks belatedly for the good wishes for his recovery, and of course I appreciate any further prayers.

You all have a good day.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and cloudy. Windy. Decent chance for rain. Today's high may reach 52°F.

Really good trip. Got to see a few things, although weather held me in check. Loved the beer and food. Former in-laws were awesome. Heh, Germans now celebrating "Black Friday".

Back in Austin and back to work.

Happy Friday, y'all.

Interesting candy selection at Galeria, Bamberg.

Good morning D-League.

Heading for Kentucky this morning. My wife was able to move around her schedule and is coming with me. That’s mostly good news. But it moved my departure up from 5:30 to around 7:30, if I had to guess when she’ll be ready. And the drive that takes me under eight hours will be 9.5 with the stops. But all good. I’m glad to have her along.

It’s cold here and it looks like it’s a bit colder in Northern Kentucky. We’ll be in Campbell County, with maybe a drive out to Bracken.

I hope you folks have a good weekend. Go Cats.
 
Conway.... "It's Only Make Believe"...


HAHA,

I just remembered, My Mom thought Conway was IT back in the day.

I hope all are doing well. Some areas have been fixed in our home but the ceiling sanding going on now. My Darling is upstairs in our guest bedroom with a towel under the door and our large air cleaner running. The heat is off and they are sanding away. My Darling has serious allergies as I know she has them bad as she called me telling me the dust was getting to her and they just had started. (She didn't even know they were sanding yet.)

I guess I will brag a little. You guys have seen how much I post about baseball. I have 2 grandsons who live in Florida and are doing well in baseball. My daughter just applied for the 14 year old to try out for an elite travel team in Tampa. At the time she talked to the manager, over 300 had applied and they were still taking applications. The manager had already seen him play and told her, "No try out is necessary. He is on the team" the team sponsor has a son who is the #1 rated ss for the age group in Florida. The managers son is the #2 pitcher in Florida for the age group. The sponsor has his own practice facility with very nice living quarters for the boys. They have college coaches coming in working with (and scouting) the boys. They are even working with the boys on handling media. I don't think it will go to his head and he has been raised right. He has quite an oppurtunity. I hope he takes advantage of it.

Sir,

SUPER to hear!!! Thanks... If my memory holds Florida is the cream of baseball prospects and players yearning to aspire to the League. From minimal statements, already prospects. That is enjoyable to know.

My daughter was pretty good in softball and I taught her a lot. She actually managed his travel team for 2 years. They have been taking him and his brother to a place in Tampa where former pro players work with the kids. He is moving on up past what she could help with now. Btw both brothers are primarily catchers.

Oh, Commodities too!!!
 
Greetings from Alexandria, Kentucky.

Sitting in a rehab center where they have moved dad. He is doing better than I feared based on reports from earlier this week.

My sister, three brothers and assorted other relatives and filtering in and out. So, in its own way it’s a gathering of the clan.

Hope you folks are enjoying the football. Big chance for the Cats tonight. I feel hopeful.
 
Hello again,

Just got back from church. Had our Christmas production of a Christmas Carol. (Twice today at 3 and 6, once yesterday. I attended all performances.) Pretty amazing actually. Had some serious singers perform very well. I saw this three times as My Darling performed in the background...

2 hours to go. I'm actually feeling good about tonight's game in Seattle. My home back in the 80s.

UGA takes down Texas in an OT thriller. Gets the bye in the playoffs. Huge.

(I'm no and never have been a basketball expert.) (Could never much more than jump off my toes. No leaping ability at all.) What metric shows Gonzaga favored over the Cat's? Looking at stats I do not see one, other than free throws... is it the location? Thanks

Technically not a true home court. Gonzaga is in Spokane, the other side of Washington but yes, it adds to the spread. Plus the Zags are pretty damn good.

Me and my brother could both jump pretty high. When I was a senior in high school, I was about 5' 7" and he was a little taller. I could jump and grab the rim with one hand but could not dunk. With a running jump he could get both hands above the rim and dunk. However, neither of us played for our high school team. Did not even try out. Our stepfather had us working for him after school (if he was close enough) and on weekends in Dry wall. Hated it. We did get to play church ball on occasion and won the E-Town city league one year when he allowed us to play.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and cloudy. Slight chance for rain later this morning. Today's high may hit 59°F. Another cold front inbound.

Gotta love the W last night with our 6'6" PG. Great day to be a Cat fan.

Headed out for a hike later. Plan on making oyster stew for lunch.

Wishing y'all a good one.

Here's Sparkasse or local bank. Same location as back in 1984. I used the heck outta the ATM located inside during my trip.

Good Sunday morning everyone

I really didn't think we had a chance to win without Butler. I made it til halftime and then off to bed. Wow, what a surprise. I have watched 2nd half highlights, but will watch the entire 2nd half after church. What kind of zone did we play? Kerr looks like he's really hurt. I sure hope Butler is ready to go.

We got the heat pump fixed after 6 days. We managed to stay warm during the coldest part of the winter so far. The part was difficult to find. Ughhh, what is wrong with our ability to find parts now days?

Did a little trail maintenance yesterday. The view from the top of Pine Mountain sure is great during the winter.

I hope everyone has a great day.
 
Tripped over our dog and fell a little before the game started. Stayed up for the first half. Between the score and the fall, took some pain meds and went to bed. Was pleasantly surprised to see the outcome.

Hope you're feeling better now Sir...

Went to church this morning....

See if you can catch what me and a bunch of others were blessed to find..... (Used My Darlings Iphone but that is the best snaps I could get...)
