Good morning folks. Working from home the rest of the year. Starting to feel a bit more like Christmas. HArd to believe it'll be here in five days...

I've spent Christmas in the wastes of Saudi Arabia, in Mogadishu, in Port Au Prince, Kabul and Baghdad. BUT -- I never spent Christmas in prison, knock on wood. Still, I like this song, and can identify with the idea of being lonely at this time of the year and missing someone -- or everyone...
 
Good morning from ATX. Chilly 36°F. Warming to 63°F later today.

Cats vs Buckeyes from MSG. Game at 4:30 CT. Go Big Blue!

Wishing y'all a good one.

My cousin mentions her mom in FL had a coo-coo clock just like this. Owned by Spezialbrau, Bamberg, and located in dining room.

Good morning folks. Game day for the Cats!

This Saturday is usually a fun part of the Christmas run-up to me. IT's the day that for years we'd have a Christmas party at my wife aunt's house in Manhattan. And I remember very distinctly being there twice when the Cats beat UNC-CHeats in epic games, and another time when the Cats obliterated UCLA -- the 2014 game that was 41-14 at the half, or whatever. Of course, I couldn't watch the games at the party but when we made it back to our hotel room and the Cats had won, it helped make those Christmas parties even more memorable.

No party today, but it is a nice opportunity for the Cats to close out the out of conference part of the schedule as a huge success.

I hope all of you are doing well and sliding deep into the Christmas vibe.

Read a bit on a couple of Ohio State boards. With their missing players, most expect to lose. That is as it should be when someone plays UK.
 
I was just reading about Albert Puhols. His senior year in high school, he hit 8 home runs in 33 official at bats. He had 55 intentional walks.
Thinking about this post. We were playing a softball team leading by two runs in the bottom of the seventh. They had the bases loaded with two outs. Their batter had played for the professional softball team out of Louisville. Don't know if they still have pro softball or not. Anyhow, we walked him intentionally, then got the next guy out to win by one run.

That is true baseball even though softball. So many intricacies of the game....
 
Wife gave me a compliment this morning as we were cleaning up and getting ready to go out for lunch. She was putting her make up on and I was grooming my beard. As I was combing and brushing it, I noticed she was watching me (The beard is her idea) so I ask (jokingly), "What? Do I look like the bearded lady or something? She laughed (it worked) and then said; "There is nothing lady about you, no one could ever mistake you for being gay". Best compliment she has ever given me.

Quite a few years ago, mine wanted to get her concealed carry license. I taught her to shoot and went to classes with her so she could get her permit. Sometime later we got in the car to go somewhere and I said, " I forgot my 38." She said, " that is ok, if something happens, I am handing mine to you." I took that as a compliment.
 
Worst half of the season so far. Bradshaw is playing like he has a chip on his shoulder. UK bigs have got to be more productive on the offensive end. Pope has been excellent at making half-time adjustments. Hopefully he can do it again.

Forgot to hit the send button after the first half. Playing better in the 2nd but so far not good enough. Plenty of time.
