* Shorts and flip flops right now. Gonna cool off a bit tonight, but it's all good. No sign of snow yet.
* They should hate the Presidents (of either party) that continue unnecessarily sending them into unwinnable, pointless, deadly wars. Lots of vitriol to go around there, imo.
* Quitting smoking, surgery -- this ain't child's play. Of course we'll throw a few jabs here and there, but in all, 100% sincerity --> good luck, BBdK. Neither one of those will be easy.
* Great SI article on the Greek Freak.

Can't believe how far that guy has come, and he's now a legit star. We see this EVERY year in the draft, and you just kinda roll your eyes. Some "project" who has a great body, but needs several years to grow into it. Cue up Fran Fraschilla, as he's the only one who can pronounce the guy's name. Athletic, but so raw they're hoping he can learn to shoot layups in Euope before making the trip back to the US.
And of course, he's exceeded every expectation. Awesome.
* My workout partner this morning was celebrity chef, and James Beard winner Alon Shaya. Kinda cool. His restaurant "Shaya" is freaking amazing.
* This right-to-work thing is pretty comical. I honestly had no idea you could be FORCE to join a union, and FORCED to pay them dues. WTF? How can anyone support this??
* I'm sorry I don't have the brain power to think about this right now......but Diallo = does enrolling Spring semester get him to the NBA 1 year sooner?
