Bernie, thanks for sharing that anecdote about the road of no joy past the French soldiers' graveyard where people saw ghosts. That's interesting for sure. I believe there is video easily findable of the Highway of Death out of Kuwait in February, 1991. I won't describe it here, but driving it was shocking and stays with me to this day.

Big win for the Cats last night. I'm just going to enjoy them as they happen. It was fun to see a "reverse Laettner" unfold. Degree of difficulty might have been greater - LSU guarded the inbound and the guy guarding Moreno was loger than Feldhaus or Pelphrey.

This Kentucky team isn't very good, and I doubt the ceiling is much higher than we've seen already. Better teams are probably going to not have much trouble with the Cats. But we can still celebrate a little magic.

Hope you all have a great day.
Yeah I drove past Phu Bai a few times. There were more graves than I have ever seen. I thought we would never get past them. Small white crosses as far as the eye could see. They called it the valley of the dead. People don't realize how long the Vietnamese people were at war.

Good morning from ATX.

Glad Cats won. Watched first half.

Took wife again to ER last night during 2nd half. Staff ran CT scan and took X-rays. She complained about constant pain. Tests revealed cancer apparently spread to other areas.

Must still visit FL for a mandatory real-estate transaction. Visiting 17-24 Jan. She has a friend who will stay with her while we line up more chemo and other treatments. I will probably cancel trips to Marfa and Salado scheduled for next month and March.

Y'all have a good one.
Really sorry about your wife Austin,you and your wife are in my prayers.

Good morning everyone, what a great finish to a game that had many peaks and valleys. It's 20 degrees here in G Town with a wind chill of 8.Cold weather looks like it's going to set in for awhile and possibly some snow to come with it.Winter is awesome, we all are so blessed.I hope that all of you have a wonderful day and be safe out there.

Prayers up for your wife and you too!

Can we stop collecting data in the first half of games and worry about building a lead? Thanks I'll hang up and listen.

Good morning (barely) everyone

We got some black ice and snow on the mountain so staying home today. Just finishing up my workout....trying to hang in there as long as I can.

Unbelievable how this team plays in the 2nd half of the game vs 1st. It may have been the worst 12 minutes I've ever seen UK play. What to do???? I'd be tempted to just say play as hard as you can on the D side (press, etc. )and shoot it as soon as you're open for the first 4 minutes and go from there. Easy if it works, farhh coach if it doesn't. lol

Anyway, 2nd half looked great. Many players stepped up. Moreno!!!! Exceeded my expectations so much he may become my favorite player in decades. Hope he stays.

Did she get an appointment with her oncologist?

Hate reading this. Praying now.
