There's more baseball ahead. They are only halfway through the SEC season.

He's hot! 

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday. Everyone should join me. Just get up and walk out. I take no responsibility for your loss of employment.


Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Yep. She's doing a lot of 16 hour days right now. But you've got to make bank while the bank is open.

And it hasnbeen easy for her. She broke her wrist 8 weeks ago and still hasn't missed a beat.

We didn't slow down a bit during Covid. I was requiring realtors and sellers to stay in the parking lot and I was getting documents signed at their cars. The home inventory is low so prices are moving up fast. Cash offers rule and $25,000 over asking price doesn't cut it.

Is your wife still in the mortgage business? If she is, she has to be as busy as ever.

With Saturday's victory, UT has now won its first four conference series for the first time since 1970. 

When I saw that we were getting UF and Vandy back to back, I said that it would be a huge success to go 3-3 in these games. But now that we’re 2-0, I’m feeling a bit more greedy.

Well, as someone once said: "Greed is good." 

Watched most of it on SECN....I got nervous in the 9th. 

It's always good to have a 2 run lead in the ninth. And they needed it.

Vols win series.  Vols are 27-5, 9-2 in SEC.

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday. I've got to fill my quota of Master's watching.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Interesting. I had a girlfriend once who just loved Merlot, so I tend to think of it as a "girlie" drink.  Of course, she loved most any wine, it's just that Merlot was her favorite.   

As for Sideways, I was in Lompoc in October 2004 waiting for a mission to launch out of Vandenburg AFB.  We watched Sideways as a team building exercise.  The cool thing about that was that we had been hanging out at a lot of the places in the movie.  For instance, the restaurant where the idjut friend picked up the fat waitress is where we had our "splashdown" party, and of course we hit quite a few of the wine tasting places also.  Even the drive up from LA was familiar, they showed a famous tunnel and I recognized all the signs, etc.  That was pretty cool, to be in the area that movie was filmed.

Actually that was a really great movie.  When I watched it with the team, I got disgusted when he went to the fast food place at the end of the movie, as it seemed he was accepting being a total loser.   At that point I either quit watching or got distracted. It was only years later that I re-watched it and realized that the really expensive wine he was drinking was reserved for when he had a kid with his ex, and by drinking it with a burger he was finally letting go of her, and that he did try to hook up again with the hot wine industry chick at the end again. Totally different ending than what I remembered, lol!

Anyway great movie.  The scene where he sneaks back in the room and steals the wallet, only to be chased by the naked trucker, is probably in my top ten of funniest scenes of all time.  I nearly busted a gut laughing at that.

That area has now become a tourist attraction with people going to all of places in the movie.

I forgot to join the group but was only 52%.  Congrats Droner!  Have a Merlot to celebrate.

(I am assuming you hate Merlot, so this is a lame attempt at an insult  )

I like Merlot. Once the bad stuff was killed off they got back to producing good ones. Merlot was in trouble before the movie Sideways. The movie just added a nail.

.......VOLSTRONG!

How do you survive all these short weeks????

It's a living. And a burden I must bear.

I will not be leaving the office at 11:30 today as usual on Friday because I will not be going into the office. We are closed today.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

UCLA goes from First Four to Final Four. I wonder if anyone won any money on that bet?

I will be leaving the office at 10:00 today and traveling to beautiful Litchfield Beach. I'm taking enough wine for 10 people. That might be enough for the five of us.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

They couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.
