- Seriously, and unfortunately, has any player at UK had as many big time in game screwups as Edwards has had in 19 games? Blocked by the rim, and the rim alone, at least 3 times. A boneheaded walk in the middle of the floor when it should have been an easy layup. This kid is not going to bust out. He is what he is and the mental block cannot be overcome. IMO

- Congratulations Detroit, one of your best teams ever, and the best chance ever to go to the SuperBowl, and your cool and gambling coach shat down his leg. Will never have that chance again IMO

- Put everything on KC. No chance VEGAS let's Taylor lose the SB.
 
I was reticent to say anything (hard as that is to believe) I thought I was alone in that sentiment.

I’ve only had the urge to throw my remote through the TV once or twice in my life but when I saw him smiling & laughing, while walking back up the court after that ridiculous turnover, I was severely tempted.

- A new to me concept here in Louisville is a professional stretch company. I signed up as stretching is an issue for me other than a quick nothing before exercising. So I hope this helps.

- After explaining to my oldest how frustrated I was that he has no drive to do much of anything except video games he responded with he selected culinary as a career path for high school.

Sweet! Now I’m researching which cooking classes are options to help his experience.

- One of my wife’s explosions were finally justified and about got me into a fight. Out for dinner Friday and I went in early to check in, but as I walked out my son and his friend had their back turned to most of the lot and facing my wife talking about his blood sugar.

For whatever reason this car backs up blindly, not out of a parking spot, and almost looking as if he was targeting to run my son over.

She flipped the F out, and took off after them in her car and pinned them in screaming and cussing which for the first time in my life I was ok with. I had every intention of going to jail as I too was enraged.

As I run up I heard him tell her he admitted it was his fault and there is nothing else he can do but apologize so she needed to get the F out of the way. That’s about the time I walked up and then 2 of his buddies got of the car.

After asking WTF, and turning to where I saw all 9 of the kids with us were watching, he again apologized and offered to apologize face to face with my son. Not necessary but I was thankful despite my wife’s best efforts he was apologetic and allowed us all to move on without letting the situation get out of hand.

Took 4 drinks to settle down.

- I do cheer for Lamar as the underdog of his class, but seeing him choke was fun too even though I can’t stand KC. Detroit was just an epic all systems fail meltdown.

Give me KC for the Super Bowl. F Purdy!

- I’m not looking forward to playing UT. I hate to give any of their guys respect, but Knecht is basically unstoppable so against us he may get 50.

Sadly I feel this is the matchup that could, please know I’m laughing at myself, spark Edwards if he has any competitive spirit left.

Please put some respect on your own name Justin!

- The deck to raise my tank is in place, plumbers meets today to get my system connected and running.

Then I move barrels. Feels like a real thing is about to happen finally.
 
My father-in-law passed away on Friday.

Some of you may recall he was suffering from dementia/Alzheimer's and my MIL finally put him in a longterm memory care facility the week after Christmas. Her love and care was the only thing keeping him from going off the proverbial cliff.

He still recognized her and would clap like a little kid when she showed up to visit every morning. But his condition deteriorated rapidly. He began fighting nurses/employees when they tried to help him get dressed/shave/shower/etc.

Early last week, he stopped eating and repeatedly threw himself on the ground and they called an ambulance to take him to a psych ward. Well, they examined him there and said there was no need for a psych ward and admitted him in a regular room. I hadn't seen him in about a week and the change was devastating. Physically, he was a shell of his former self and was making next to zero sense, but was using real words. He had a few minutes of clarity here and there and even told me he was bored at one point. He could no longer eat. It was obvious he was nearing the end and the next night they moved him to a nice Hospice facility which is near my office.

I went to visit him the next day during my lunch break and was once again shocked. He could only make sounds and was involuntarily moving his arms and legs a lot. The next morning, he was gone. The whole family was there within an hour.

He had been on such a long gradual decline the last decade or so, it was shocking how quickly it turned so bad. It was definitely a blessing that he didn't stay in that totally confused state for too long.

I didn't plan on typing all that out just now. But it just started coming and I went with it. Sorry.

Love 'em while you can, folks. He was truly a great Dad, father-in-law, grandpa, man, and friend. I will miss him.

Sorry for your loss Willy, unfortunately a lot of us are entering that stage of life if we haven’t already (losing the older family members). Was telling my wife the other day we need to cherish this unique time in our life (our kids, us being healthy, and still having our parents, uncles, cousins etc). We still haven’t suffered major loss yet and have all the key people in our life still alive. Life goes quick

Could think of probably a couple better ways to handle that situation there krazy. Typically no winners in that type of reaction.

Was zoned out driving, saw something up ahead on left lane? Broken down car? Nope it’s a cop with a laser pointed at me. Looked down - was going 94 mph. *sigh*
 
Yeah you go from college to “everybody get married” to “everybody have kids” to “everybody’s parents are getting old” real quick.

There needs to be some life event we can have in mid life that involves a big party with friends and open bar.

Maybe we should formalize mid life crisis and make it a thing?

And part of the tradition can be people have these parties at indoor glow in the dark mini golf courses, and watch GYERO hit that next level of #success.
