  1. I watched that Thunder-Griz game last night. Good lord, the score doesn’t even do it justice. OKC could have named the score against a fully healthy, rested Memphis team on the road. OKC didn’t even have 3 of their top 6. This Aaron Wiggins breakout makes them doing nothing at the deadline look like the right move. Dude would start for more than half the league and is on year one of 5 year-45 million dollar deal. Maybe the best contract in basketball that’s not a rookie deal outside of maybe Austin Reaves or Peyton Pritchard.
  2. I took a CLE on how money is distributed in the music industry. Was truly fascinating. It’s amazing how one line can get you a writing credit or one cord progression. The Verve getting no money off of “Bitter Sweet Symphony” because they didn’t get permission from The Rolling Stones, even though the had the permission of the person who had bought the orchestral track of the song, was always crazy to me. (Jagger and Richards finally gave them the rights in like 2020). But forever that was the song they had made the most money from since the 90s and it wasn’t their song.
  3. I heard the voice and instantly recognized it. Turned around and nobody was around. In the Houston airport where there’s always people around. Didn’t want to bother him, but thought it just meant to be or something. He couldn’t have been more kind with his time. I had talked to him at the merch table at a bar he played in OKC circa 2005ish. We were both less than sober. So, this interaction was much cooler.
  4. I had read the article in Rolling Stone, and I saw him in the Houston airport about two weeks ago. He was doing an interview on the phone, and I recognized the voice. Nobody else around. When he finished, I went up and thanked him for what his music has meant to my life, and what sharing his struggles to the world meant to me. We talked for probably 10 minutes. God bless that man.
  5. Mavs are going to get the 8 seed and get healthy just in time for the playoffs and beat the Thunder, aren’t they? Worst matchup in the league for the Thunder. Those games would be must watch.
  6. Making the pecan cobbler from Cooper’s in Llano. She happens to take pride in her pecan pie. So, I’ll win. Is it petty? Yep. Do i care?? Not in the slightest
  7. Bi-polar multi millionaire heir is refusing to come out of his room. This is his own prerogative. He’s 36. Holidays stress me out, too. Meal went off without a hitch. Until….. we were sitting down about to have desert and go along our merry ways. Knock on the door _____ville Police. Hmmm. Odd in this neighborhood with mega mansions all over. “We’ve learned that you have keeping a prisoner/slave in your basement. (You guessed it, where the cousin lives). We assure them that’s not the case. The do some investigating and cousin had called during dinner to “get some help” but more than likely to cause a scene. Paramedics wanted to take him in a 5150 hold but we refused. Planning intervention now. Last time he spent a year in NYC at some study. Came back feeling great on his meds. No the meds make him numb and he hates us. Oh well! Not as bad as the MIL throwing my desert in the trash because others liked mine more last year, but it’s always something.
  8. This 2 month old just checked in at 13.8 pounds, 25 inches. 99% head size. 99% in size. Just an absolute unit for being born 4 weeks early. A lot of the infant stage sucks; however, daily there’s something where you can’t imagine life without him. Makes all the pain, struggle, frustration, and angst go away.z His first real smile. Somehow had the phone out to capture. Heart is so full looking at it!
  9. OU beating Arizona wasn’t on my radar. Picked 13th in the SEC. They have a freshman kid that is legit.
  10. I think that same logic applies to about 10 teams in the west. The pels are good with Murray, CJ, Ingram, Zion, herb jones, Trey Murphy, and the bench. Still probably in the bottom 5 in the west, but would potentially host a series in the East. The West is just so deep and they have the rockets, thunder, and spurs with all the picks coming up. So it’s just going to get tougher.
  11. Is that the elastic straps inside and then the rest of the swaddle goes on top? Like to keep them in place? He seems to do ok with it so far.
  12. I’ve somehow kept this little miracle alive for a month now. Man this is hard. The sleep is a joke at this point, but when he looks into your eyes, you can’t help but melt. Tried our first night in his Snoo, and he slept for 3 hours straight. I almost started crying. Had his monthly checkup. In 99th percentile in size. I’m 6’5” and wife is 5’10.5” ish. He’s got a good chance to be massive. its funny that the stuff you worried about before don’t seem to matter as much. I used to wish that i could wake up and they were 3. Now, I don’t want to miss a thing. He’s made all the pain, anger, sadness, bitterness, and suffering go away. Love having my little buddy.
  13. Problem was the Orange man wouldn’t allow her to address her real platform. They created fake outrage over tampons in boy restrooms, Haitians eating dogs and cats, men playing women’s sports, and all that. Harris had to spend way too much time shutting that down and pointing out ridiculous it all is compared to presenting her platform and connecting with voters. Her last two days where she didn’t even mention his name were the best she ever sounded to me. I guess I could be completely off base since she got blown out, but I really liked the positive, confident Harris telling her plan. Giving America some hope.
  14. The Thunder are so good. Haven’t shot it well yet and have two double digit wins on the road against playoff teams. Their defense is scary good, and they still have Hartenstein coming.
  15. I literally just was watching the Big Bang Theory yesterday, and they talked about this. Can’t believe they wouldn’t get it right. I’ll show myself to the exit door. lol.
  16. Even better, the movie still would have played out the same if Indiana Jones wasn’t in it
  17. We all know Thibs will trade for him at the deadline, and he’ll be playing 30 minutes a night for the knicks and have no business being in the game.
  18. Thanks. They thought if he went full term, he might have gotten to 14 or so
  19. Many of you know my story. Lost a daughter to still birth at 8 months about 6 years ago. Well after 6 years of frustration, disappointment, hundreds of thousands of dollars in doctor bills for IUI, IVF, therapy to unfuck myself after the loss of our daughter, this (not so little) little guy came into our worlds 5 weeks early weighing 9 pounds, 9 ounces and 22 inches. Still in the NICU 10 days later because at first his lungs were ready to handle the tank and now he can’t eat just quite enough without the feeding tube. After being hesitant to have children, this is the good stuff. Meet Chet OCUGolf! Thanks for all the support, uplifting words, and prayers over the years. Now I just need to figure out how to take care of this thing!

  23. After my second trip to Bandon, I think I can officially confirm my rankings of the property. 1. Pacific Dunes. Probably the hardest. Great variation of holes. So enjoyable. 2. Bandon Dunes. Some amazing holes like 4-6, 12, 14-16. Some filler holes, but a great walk. 3. Old Mac. Hated it the first time. So vast and the greens are infuriatingly bad and undulating. Went into it with a better attitude and it’s fun and you get to hit a lot of really cool shots. 4. Trails. So different than any of the other courses. Love the tree lined fairways. Bitch to walk though. 5. Sheep Ranch. Greens are awful right now. Fun layout that is an easy walk. Probably would have a better opinion if it the greens were better. Shortys and Preserve are both awesome. Shortys in particular can be diabolical with some of the green complexes. We had an OUTSTANDING meal at the steakhouse at Old Mac. Went into town to the Arcade bar and hung with the caddies. That was fun. Walked a smooth 54.2 miles in the 4 days there. I’m a tired SOB. Can’t wait to go back
  24. Anyone ever eaten off resort in Bandon? If so, any suggestions? We booked dinner reservations late and have one free night where we may go into town
  25. Leave for Bandon Saturday with my old college teammates. Playing Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Old Mac, Sheep Ranch, Bandon Preserve, and Shortys. Played Trails last time and will miss it. Sheep Ranch opened the day after we left last time, so I’m excited to see it. 65 and light winds will feel amazing.
