Augie

She was out getting the mail one time when I got home with my son. I asked “do you know who that is?” He said “I dunno, some guy getting his mail?” I pointed out the dress she was wearing should be a giveaway. She’s a hermit, and a rather large one. Most of the time it was just her mother there, so I hope Mom was out of town if that wasn’t tennis I was hearing. At a tennis tournament in town they had some very loud sex going on in a nearby condo, which everyone in the stands could hear. Clearly. I didn’t see it live, but I saw the TV replay. It went from awkward to hysterical! Tiafoe finally stops play and screams “COME ON! IT CAN’T BE THAT GOOD!!!” 😂 EDIT: Found it if I can post it.

She had the house across the street from us in Sarasota for a part time place. Deed restrictions prevented personal tennis courts, except for her because they used her to help sell the development. Anyway….you could not see the walled off courts (one hard, one clay), but you could definitely HEAR what was going on. It was always easy to tell if she was one of the people hitting! 😂

It’s funny, I clearly remember the opening day at the Ralph, but I don’t recall the last game at the Rockpile. I assume I was there, as we had 4 seats by then, but I just don’t remember being there. I guess it was a long time ago and the first time with something is more memorable than the 100th, even if it’s the last. 🤷‍♂️ .

ESPN, so…….. OK, I’ll like them for a day. Just one day.

It had to be a hungry and courageous person to eat the first oyster.

I’m in wait and see mode. All of college basketball is going to hell with the portal and trying to raise NIL money. Why should I have to come out of pocket to buy/rent some guys to play for my team for a year? I don’t begrudge the players mobility or compensation, I just don’t like resulting product. We used to be proud that every guy who finished his eligibility left with a degree. Now? I don’t even know who half these mercenaries are.

Until he gets upset and stabs him in the back……

Welcome to the club. If not today……tomorrow. If you’re lucky! 😊

As we walked around Manhattan with our 10 year old grandson, we could barely smell the urine and vomit. I guess that is our upside! Have you been there? There is nothing subtle about it. I wish it was just another smell, but it crushes the smells of NYC in places. That’s saying something. Be decent to other people. Don’t subject others to things they may not want themselves or their family to be subjected to. That’s how I see it. It’s not about rights.

I think they all have their place, and we generally know what they are. But there is a lot of gray area. A kid doesn’t taste what you have in your brown bag. But they get the waft, and I don’t like that. But I also think cigars are for golf courses. It all depends. BTW, I really enjoy a hint of someone else’s cigar in proper dosage. It should never be forced upon you. .

I remember parents coming to pick a group of us up from the movies spilling their “roadies” as they slalomed down the roads between snowdrifts. Different times. Not saying better or worse, but different.

When we used to drive to Hilton Head and had to go past the paper mills outside Savannah nobody ever failed to say “what the hell is that smell 😱??? He was 10 in basically rural Georgia. Not Manhattan! .

I will say, we took our 9-10 year old grandson to NYC a couple years ago. I wish it didn’t smell like Woodstock. But it did. He was wise and kind enough to not bring that up. I wasn’t in the mood to go down that road with my young grandson. It’s not my place.

Researchers are trying to confirm that it is actually Keith Richard’s signature at the bottom.

I was at the first game in ‘73. I was wondering, if I could only go to one or the other, the last game at the old place OR the first game in the new place…what would I prefer? If it’s the AFCCG that seals the deal, but otherwise? That would be a tough one for me. 🤷‍♂️ I’d want to say goodbye to the old place, but I can’t wait to see the new place. If they pour beer as slowly as they did at Tottenham, we just might tear the place down on opening day. I’d hate to miss my chance to see it in one piece.

I’m so glad Josh didn’t try to squeeze every last penny out of the team. This could be a whole lot worse if we had a greedy A-hole QB.

Happy birthday! I tried to order you a nice warm spring day for you, but Amazon let me down.

We used to sit in the upper deck at Reds games in college. We watched boats go down the Ohio river, and we always had an eye open for the ice cream vendor. It was a pretty chill vibe.

As for the bold, if you guys would smoke more, maybe we could have had a dome? I know who to blame now!

I would like to see him replace Sean Miller at Xavier. I’m sorry, I’m in mourning for the loss of giving a crap about college basketball. I’ll be mildly interested, unlike the NBA which I change channels to avoid. I’ve been saying for a while I don’t mind player mobility or compensation. That’s just fair to me. The portal and NIL just result in a lesser product that I care less about.

Commander Tom. .

I wish I could remember who it was, but just recently I saw one of the greatest ever in his sport just smile, shrug and say and it really doesn’t matter, records are made to be broken. I wish I could remember who it was, because he seemed very sincere and content. I like him more, whoever he is. OK, now I feel like we have a quality plan. 😊

I’m glad I was only 21 once! I don’t think I could survive that again! 😂

We went to a private school near us once just to see a game, and it’s a lot different when you don’t have a kid out there. Completely angst free! It was supposed to be a varsity game, but we were pretty sure it was JV. We wanted to ask to verify, but we couldn’t. It was just going to be too awkward. “Really? This is really the Varsity team?” 😂
