Gertz and her billionaire husband are also part of a group that own the Milwaukee Brewers. Both were born into Jewish families. Ressler is my age, but former his first company when he was 31 years old. Gertz was named the most philanthropic celebrity. Now they live in Los Angeles, where a public school was named after them.
Atlanta businesswoman Sara Blakely, owner/creator of the Spanx pantyhose empire, is also a part owner of the Hawks. So is former Hawk Grant Hill.
Saw where Tom Glavine would like to buy the Braves from Liberty Media. When Liberty bought the Braves they had to out-bid Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Instead Blank secured the soccer franchise Atlanta United, who won the MLS championship in their second year of existence. If only.
Friday night we split a chicken sandwich at Moxie Burger. Also fries. They had the games on the big screens. Then I dropped Ceil off at Whole Foods and I gassed up her car. Arranged a hot shipment for work.
Got home and watched a decent movie “Forever My Girl.” Kinda a Nicholas Sparks knockoff. Forever My Girl was filmed in downtown Dallas, Georgia.
Also Conyers. Across the street from the flower shop where the heroine works is a sign for Paulding Trophy, the real life store on that corner. Watched more games after that.
Small group on Saturday morning. The Catholic church at the end of the street was having a yard sale. Things might’ve been half price. Saw a pair of purple LeBron James sneakers in my size. Tempting for two bucks, but man I already have too many pairs of shoes.
Got home and fixed quesadillas for brunch, with turkey and cheese. Then outside for a long time: trimming hedges and raking leaves. Went inside around 4 pm and sat down. After that it was hard to stand up. Tried to start the mower but I think I’d put in the tank of bad gas. Ceil had also worked in the yard and later went to the grocery. She cooked spaghetti and meatballs and tossed a salad. Watched golf and basketball and “Forever My Girl” for a second time.
Sunday School and worship. St Francis of Assisi: “Preach the gospel at all times. Use words when necessary.” Also: Peter got out of the boat and walked on water. What is my boat security blanket that I need to get shed of?
That was some Duke/UCF game. Couldn’t believe that last tip in didn’t drop in. Didn’t look like the ball hit the rim to me either. Also NC/Washington and Auburn/Kansas and Tenn/Iowa. And that was just some of the recent games
Zion Williamson is good, and probably a deserving number one pick. Someone compared him to Charles Barkley and that may be a good comparison. He was probably playing on a bad ankle against UCF. Still, he may be an above-average NBA player, but I don’t think he’ll be a megastar like Jordan, Magic, or LeBron.
Leftover spaghetti and meatballs. Didn’t do much else except watch golf and basketball. Did some laundry. Negotiated with a guy on a bobblehead and stayed up late getting it packed up.
Couldn’t get going Monday morning. Stopped by the post office and it was after 8 am when I got in.
Tuesday: Left work at six. Made one stop on the way home. Ceil cooked Mexican salsa and grilled chicken to go with last night’s leftover beans and rice. I made a quesadilla and ate more with chips. Did the dishes. Watched some of the NIT. Also some of the movie Hidden Figures about NASA during the Mercury days. Missed the beginning and end. Was tired, went to bed at ten. Was tired from taking long walks three of the past four days.
Another hilarious episode of The Kids Are Alright, where the actor kid tries to audition for the Partridge Family. Former partridge Danny Bonaduce guest starred as the security guard. Man he looked old (he’s six days younger than me).
