Received a call today from my Dad's nursing home in Harrordsburg that he will be going into hospice care this week. Went to see him Thursday and I knew the time was coming soon. My wife and daughter are in Vegas until Monday and have been trying to keep myself busy with my "to do list".
I have been lurking here since 2006 because it keeps me up to date with what is going on in Lexington and UK sports. Moved away in 2005 for career and family reasons. I knew that catching up with GYERO would make me chuckle and I was not let down. I've never personally met anyone here but did have a phone conversation years ago with Sloot bout adopting a pup and TmfH gave me some advice when I was transitioning into medical sales.
Some of the things I have witnessed over the years:
1. Tommy growing up and holding down a respectable job.
2. Coolcat becoming a judge. Wouldn't want to appear before him..
3. Anth and Sloot getting married and having little G.
4. Chad being Chad and becoming domesticated.
5. DrX. Overseas serviing our country and then coming home with the best pickup lines..."are you a doctor?, well I am". Respect the hell out of you Doc. If I had to choose he would be the one I am would most want to have a cocktail with. SAE 2nd place.
6. SAE. Always look forward to letters being posted from young SAE to Bill Curry. Makes me feel old. I was 2 years out of grad school when he was writing those letters.
7.BBdK. The Godfather. From not knowing how to make a reservation for a flight to world traveler.
8. Ritchie. Saw him on the corner of Bourbon St the day of the 2012 Final Four versus UofL. If memory serves me right he was wearing blue and white pants and smoking a cigarette? Hell, could have been SAE.
9. WettCat. Almost die in multiple airplane incidents.
10. UK Dallas. Had to get a restraining order from the hot WLEX gal.
11.PTI. Swinger and has ran around the world 3 times.
12. RogueMocha. Should have already met his demise in a scooter accident.
13. Wildcat Willy. Pimp. Married Marge and Dad of girls. Best at mock post illustrations. The one with Chad playing basketball was classic.
14. Cole854, UKO,- Dean Smith licker. Enough said.
15. Wildcat1973. Slayed everyone in LA and Boston and has been to every "loudest and great Rupp environment".
At this point I am just trying to preoccupy myself. Thanks for the laughs over the years and especially on a day like today.
Cheers!
