Catch Of The Day

We all have reservations.

Quick hitter as I am traveling for work and tomorrow night starts the bachelor party…

Need to pick my final bracket and pack tonight.

  1.  My colleague, Ralph/ Rob mentioned tonight at dinner that his home TV system involves rabbit ears and I pondered that I haven’t heard that term in a long, long time.
  2. Like kind of like my best man telling me he was mad at Comcast years ago and watched TV from his laptop.
  3. Marty/ Rudy, no prizes.  Stop reading.
  4. I don’t follow politics as much as most, and was kind of irritating to be in a city where Bernie Sanders was speaking right when I wanted to go somewhere for dinner.
  5. I will save time at the airport tomorrow to tell you my final picks, but it is looking like UVA over OU or KU or MD, and my problem bracket is where UNC, Xavier, and UK reside.
  6. I typically pick a real bracket and one with UVA winning it all so an alum doesn’t feel dumb, but having a problem as both brackets are the same right now.
  7. Yes, not ONE expert from ESPN picked UVA to win it, meaning all the schmucks not knowing basketball will also get on the MSU gravy train and leave me alone in the winner’s circle.
  8. I have to check out one dive bar in every city I go to, and the Bikini Lounge in Phoenix is apparently legendary, they had a pool table, and although I missed a series winner against my colleague and regular to win the night, I made an impossible side pocket shot as soon as the regular said “I will buy you ALL a round if your boy makes THIS one.”
  9. By the way, no bikini’s and it was dive, dive, dive.  LOVED it.  We had so much fun that we walked the shady walk home without taking an Uber.
  10. Got to have something on the line for me to pay attention in pool.
  11. Omar, I am in a rush writing this so I can pick my brackets and pack, so you are off the hook for comments for tonight.  Much love.
  12. I believe the Warriors are at 43% now to get 73 wins, and it kills me although I love those guys.  Just think that Bulls team could have won ALL the games if they wanted to.
  13. I am traveling so a little more out of the loop, but did the bipolar Rockets just beat the upstart, bruised up Griz by FORTY NINE POINTS?
  14. Phoenix has double of every numbered street and it is very confusing.
  15. Told you all I was growing the soul patch back at least for my time away from my lady, she is going to hate it of course, but my facial hair grows SO fast oddly right there.
  16. I got asked about Batman vs. Superman again tonight.  Batman is a mortal with armor, and Superman is an alien with superpowers.  This movie is a joke.  On a related note, Alien would destroy heat seeing Predator, Freddy inhabits dreams and Jason walks slow so no contest, and the new Ghostbusters better be their own thing and not reference old original lines.
  17. I am doing three things this summer:  Conundrum, climbing from Aspen to Crested Butte and back, and a triathlon.
  18. I have many favorite things in life, but the group text between my colleagues, Marty and Rob, and I has to be up there in the rankings.
  19. I AM green, as I don’t want a maid in my hotel room when I stay at one…like ever.
  20. Pretty surprised the Broncos chose to spend money by matching CJ Anderson’s Miami contract.
  21. Pretty surprised that Mike Wallace thinks the QB was the problem in Minnesota with him.
  22. Pretty surprised that MSU is a #2 favorite and their golden son, Mateen Cleaves was busted for sexual assault.
  23. NOT pretty surprised that UCONN women is presently #3 in all time consecutive wins, and that the top 2 are…UCONN.
  24. NOT pretty surprised that Melo tells us that Phil Jackson’s coaching days are over.
  25. NOT pretty surprised that Riley Curry did something adorable that I will refuse to watch even though it was probably adorable.
  26. Anthony, Orange Blossom Beer? Not selling me no matter what the argument.
  27. Yes, I left dinner tonight to go home and do brackets, Anthony.
  28. Thank GOD I work with someone, though, who gets all of my Seinfeld jokes.  “You know how to TAKE the reservation.”
  29. That’s it.  Talk to you tomorrow at the airport before I probably vanish for a few days from the Fillerbuster.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question.  Peace.
