Weekend Notes
A week after prom and before four consecutive weeks where we will be very busy, it was a nice, boring, lazy weekend. Weather There’s no delicate way to say this: our weather was ass most of the weekend. It rained Friday night into Saturday, then off-and-on the rest of the weekend. The temps slowly dropped from the 70s into the…
Monday Hoops Notes
Yeesh. Quite a weekend for basketball stuff, so I guess that will be my focus today. Let’s get the worst of it out of the way first. Feel free to skip; it ain’t brief. Jayhawk Talk I’ll begin by saying I’ve never been happier to have missed watching a KU game live than I was Saturday. Yet I was still…
Weekend Notes

The Fever had an early lead then fell behind by double-digits multiple times, the last time midway through the fourth quarter, before mounting a furious rally and taking the lead…

M came home for the weekend. It was her first visit of the semester and nice to have her in the house for about 48 hours. She…

Indiana Fever and US Open on the TV. Royals-Astros Gameday coverage on the Mac. With bonus weather monitoring on every screen. I guess I’ll break things down by subject rather…
Weekend Notes
We had a super-busy Saturday that featured a lot of L’s for our family. Fortunately, for me, the one dub was a big one. Throwing hoops and real life together, our family went 1–7 for the day. Cathedral lost JV and varsity games. More on that tomorrow. S’s Hoosiers lost to Auburn. M’s previously undefeated Bearcats lost to Xavier. The…
