D-League

Wow,

My Darling never misses choir and church. She and the BB are still out. I left them alone. Drinking coffee with a new bag of coconut powder, cinnamon, cacao powder, and half& half.... Not bad, on my second cup minus the cinnamon and cacao powder.


Here are a few pics of food, this guy farms his own oysters. Scallops, and other delicacies. This mess is called shaboo shaboo (Spelled phonetically.) (Kind of Japanese in nature but with a Korean twist.

This is kind of a "pot licker" type soup base. You then add what you want to eat to the soup, cook it and enjoy, then cook another mess... ;)

Our hosts preparation of some oysters: Had platters and platters of these. (Had my share.)

Nearer the end of eating:

Scallop's and "Shrimp's"... (With a little squid. I only normally do dried squid.)

Some of the other items to include finely sliced Ribeye... (We each had our own pot to cook and eat from.)

The BB had a good time though he was the only young'un. He had a lot of people enjoying him... (Boy is about to lose his first tooth.)

This is where we were at: (Nearly all side roads during the drive but it was scenic to state the least...)

Good morning folks. Warm in the east —I suffered from being over-layered on my run.

My son is heading back to Texas today. I’m driving him to the airport in Baltimore. Sort of marks an end to what was a very Merry Christmas. But he’s going back to a job he likes so I’m happy for him.

I hope it is a restful day for all.
 
Does anyone remember this guy?



A cannon, ya think... Think he died really young... That seems to be the last few years I watched a lot of baseball...
He is a bit old for you to remember him, but that is Clete Boyer like. Clete was a 3b for the Yankees and his brother Ken was a 3b for the Cards in a WS (64 I think). They also met as starting 3b in at least one AS game. Must have been big at family meetings.
 
Good morning all,

Working today, first day in a few. Wish it was a longer time off but I am thankful. May have to head to the swamp tomorrow but I am trying not to do that. (We shall see...) I have 13 hours left of use or lose... a strategic placement of these may be beneficial...

Anyway, for you golfer's...




Wasn't great but a good sentiment...
 
Magic will always be Magic to me... Irving "Magic" Johnson... Even in High School he had that Magic smile. (He is two years older than I am but I got real close to him a couple times in high school...) (Our schools never played but I got a chance to go to a couple tournament games and he was there.) He ALWAYS had that Magic smile... as long as I can remember and I remember him before he became well known...




Irving Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird (Larry Bird because he could play but Magic and Michael have so much respect for him... Just a bunch of other great basketball players as well but those stand out to me. (Remember Dr. J as well but that was early for me...)

Good morning folks. Temps back in the 30s in the east.

Happy New Year’s Eve. Well look back on 2024 as a lot of things, but at least we aren’t looking back on the year either an Alzheimer’s zombie or a weird cackling DEI hire got directed president. Sorry if too political for D-League. Just how I’m feeling this morning.

On a personal level, lots of joy with some sadness. I hope 2025 is a better year for all of us.

You all enjoy the last day of this cycle around the sun.
 
Good morning all,

I never could palm the ball nor jump much more than off my toes. The good thing, I can still jump off my toes but about what I could when I was "young".

A slow work day for once. I made a command decision and told all my people to work from home but be available.

I am thankful and am taking a couple hours off today anyway. Doing some required training while it's quiet.

Have a blessed last day of 2024...

The only thing I could do good at basketball was put a lot of effort into it. 😁
 
Next to Musial, Larry Jackson was my favorite player growing up. I think he still holds the record for most wins by a pitcher who never played for a first place team. In spring trading of 1961, he was pitching to Duke Snider. The bat broke and splintered. Part of it went through Jackson's jaw, breaking his jaw in two places. Oddly, a few weeks later after the season started, Snider was facing Bob Gibson , when Gibson broke Snyder's arm with a fastball.

About that time frame I could jump up and grab the rim with a running jump but could only dunk a tennis ball. It is one thing to be able to palm the basketball, it is another to be able to do it while running and jumping. Now my brother who was an inch taller than me (at 5' 7") in high school could dunk it with two hands. We both had some ups.

I have four inches on you height-wise and on my best day I could sometimes and I mean sometimes touch the net. (Guess it had to do with if I had gone to the bathroom properly that day.)

Well, I only weighed about 140 maybe 145lbs. My brother and I used to jump fences in people back yards in Louisville. The normal chain link 4' fences and clear them for fun. We used to play a lot of basketball, so we worked on our leaping ability.
