#PerfectDate

Today is the perfect date. Check your local listings for reruns of the movie Miss Congeniality. I might just tune in myself.

During his three years at Clemson, D.J. Uiagalelei had a QB rating ranked 100th in the nation. He was a hesitant passer and a lumbering though strong runner. Clemson won in spite of DJ. After getting beat out by a freshman, DJ transferred. Now he’s blasting the Tiger offensive system, which had been purposely dialed back due to his own limitations. Same system that won national championships with Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson – whose TQBRs ranked in the top ten. We’ll see if DJ blossoms at Oregon State.

Spencer Strider set records with his performance last night. He ought to change his name to Spencer Striker. I just made that up.

Last night Drew and Nancy Kelly went to the Braves game with Dock and Melissa and Caroline and Allie and the second course group.

HAWKS: I watched the second half. It is hard to watch the Hawks. This AM I saw where right after the game Murray had something to say to an official. He might’ve made physical contact, and received a one game suspension. But during game 2 a Celtic pushed the same official, and received no penalty. I watched some NBA on Saturday and Sunday but hard to remember now. Warriors/Kinds and Hawks/Celtics yesterday. Had gone to bed Saturday night and didn’t see and Grizzlies/Lakers. Sounds like I didn’t miss anything.

This after a quiet Friday. Took a full day of working to realize vendors aren’t keeping up, and I’m sinking into future material flow issues. Gonna be a chunk of work to dig out.

Left work at 4:20 Friday. I thought Secret Church started at six, but it didn’t start til seven. It was very good. We stayed until 10:30. Went home and watched more that night, and finished it last night. People brought food: Buffalo chicken sliders, Chickfila nuggets, cut vegetables and dips, loaded cookies, etc.

Early Saturday AM golf. From there I drove straight to the office to work on personal stuff, organizing files, paying bills, filing insurance. Stayed from 9:30 to after one, and barely scratched the surface. I’m in quite a hole. So much it’s hard to know where to start. Then home to do laundry, etc. C drove down to help with Shivonne. M cooked Mexican for supper.

A&C went to the Braves game Saturday. Will went on Sunday. Sunday afternoon MC and Ceil went to MC’s sister’s baby shower, so I got Shivonne all to myself. We played, read books, walked outside. She ate her entire kids quesadilla and took a good nap.

MONDAY: frustrating morning. Late to work because I helped C drop off her car to get her bumper repaired from where a truck had hit her, so I was late to work. Left work at 5:30. Stopped by the post office and Taco Bell. Barely made it on time to small group. Leader John is always early. Usually I am. John was early last Friday night as well. Our other two small group members are often late, but Reid pulled up right after me. I was going to talk to John about promptness. Maybe the next time we are both early birds. We discussed all 13 verses of II John.

This morning: up early to lift weights.

Charles Norman and Joel Norman just had baby boys, six days aprt: Wynn and Patton respectively.

Our old couples group from the 1990’s used to have Bible Studies, but now we just do things together.  I think the Hurt’s old SPdL supper club still occasionally meets, with the Toholsky’s and Talaat and Maggie and Rocky Butler. At Margaret Hurt’s wedding last fall I had a nice long conversation with Rocky. He is a big reader. 

STEVE CARLTON [SABR Bio] played for SF in 1986. Spend the last 13 of his career’s 751 games with Minnesota in 1986-87. Carlton tallied 90 balks in his 24-year career. It took Bob Welch 17 seasons just to get 45, second place. Carlton was the first National League pitcher to strike out more than 18 batters in a nine-inning game, with 19 on 15-Sep-1969. Ron Swoboda hit 2 two run homers in that game to beat Carlton 4-3. In a loss to the Mets in St. Louis.
