Scottie Scheffler’s pitch in on 17 to win the tournament, was that shot not the greatest golf shot in history? The GOAT? Even greater a clutch shot than Tiger’s pitch in on 16 at Augusta? One of the greatest shots ever. Who holed that Masters fairway shot so many years ago – Walter Hagan? Better than Tom Watson’s chip to win the British Open? Most young whippersnappers these days have never seen or heard of Watson or Hagan.
Every day the sports talk station has a question of the day. Yesterday was who is the greatest movie villain? The evil villain in the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie just passed away. He was evil. My worst villain was Lotso Huggin Bear from Toy Story 3 (above). Other great villains: Seinfeld’s Newman. iCarly’s Nevel Papperman.
Jabba the Hutt.
Syndrome, from The Incredibles.
Jack Frost in The Santa Claus 3: the Escape Clause.
The demon Gwi-Ma from KPop Demon Hunters. Many have tried to picture him in human form.
Today’s question: what is the hardest thing to do in sports? Is it not hitting a major league pitcher? Strider has always had so much velocity that he could blow the ball past hitter, throwing it right down the middle. He has yet to recover fully from surgery. Hopefully he’ll get the velocity back by next year, but still he needs to learn how to hit the corners like Maddux and Glavine used to. I don’t think making Strider a closer is the answer.
Even though I returned the two new pairs on sneakers that I had ordered, on Friday I ordered a cheap pair of Nike Huaraches that I had a $10 coupon for. I’ll wear them like house shoes, especially in winter. I’ll always remember seeing the revolutionary Huaraches when they first came out at the sporting goods Super Show at the World Congress Center, and I was one of the first to get a pair. Loved them. Wore them until they wore out. Tech basketball wore them back when Kenny Anderson led the Jackets to the Final Four. Christian Laettner wore the basketball version on the Dream Team.
On the way home from work yesterday I stopped by Steak & Shake. Parked and went inside because they always have a hard time with the app. So I was inside and ordered the milkshake, and they brought it out in a glass, so I had to sit down and eat it there. No problem.
Yesterday Ceil ate lunch at young Jimmy Ewing’s house. Jimmy, wife Tyler, Mary Hurt, Mary Hubert, and Myra. Leftovers last night. We had one of the double smash burgers left over that Will had made, so I turned it into two single smash burgers. C had some of the leftover Mexican food. Just yesterday at work we were talking about Mexican places and we discussed Taqueria. Then just now we started talking about food again. It is a topic often discussed at work. On Thursday a vendor is taking us out to lunch, and we might go to Marlows. Leo loves the “Royale” burger, made with wagu beef.
Matthew is moving out today, to a rental house in Smyrna just west of the Braves Stadium. Tonight C has a meeting, so I will probably cash in my deal for ten free wings.
NEWS: Amy Herndon’s father Tom Herndon passed away. He had been battling Alzheimer’s disease. Amy recently retired from teaching.
Rams' Sean McVay just made his stance on Stetson Bennett crystal clear. With Matt Stafford hurt, Stetson might be starting Week One. Stafford might not get his job back. You heard it here first.
Margaret Qualley tried to set up mom Andie MacDowell with Bill Murray. And failed.
“It is dangerous to be so busy that you have no time to wait on God.” — A. W. Tozer.
Billy Graham: “The problem is in our hearts—we are alienated from our Creator. Instead of giving God his rightful place at the center of our lives, we have substituted the “god” of Self. Only Christ can change our hearts—and through us begin to change our world."
Man we’ve been working hard today, training Leo. I think we are making good progress. But we went hard for well over an hour, and when I looked up I had 23 new emails. Then another session, and 20 more.
Not sure if it’s the mattress, but every morning for the past 3 weeks I wake up with lower back pain. Once I get moving I start to feel better. I need to stretch it out with the exercises I learned in physical therapy last year. I did make it back to the gym for the second day in a row.
