TI wasted his challenge early. Then, he left Edey in with 4 half through the 3rd. No, he's not the only reason they've blown this lead. But...

Met a guy this afternoon with a St Bernard that has been blind since birth. That was the friendliest, sweetest dog. Nose working overtime, of course.

84 years ago today, it was the day that my parents remembered the way we recall 9/11.

Bored with everything else on the tube, I'm surfing live music on YT. Right now, I'm missing Tom Petty. #DailyBudTunes

And I really wanted to go stand on N Parkway and watch the marathoners, because it lifts my spirits a whole lot more than crunching numbers. Alas, numbers had to be crunched, and were. God bless everyone involved in the marathon - it's a marvelous event.
I finished one of my annual "what if" scenario comparisons that, as usual after a full day of work, resulted in "don't change what's already working". I don't know the whole catalog of biases in thinking, but there must be one for this. Side note - the final choice inevitably has possible gotchas.

Anybody at FedEx Forum? From a brief glimpse on the TV, it looked like they have Booker T for the half time show. Wow.

I mean seriously, how many times do they play it? Every single NBA game, seems like nearly every commercial break. Gack.
By the time the 25th rolls around, I will have long since thrown something at the TV. Really tired of this Ant commercial.

As long as we're fondly remembering Cropper for always-appropriate licks, a word for his colleague Al Jackson. Along with Levon and Ringo, three of the greatest pocket drummers ever. #DailyBudTunes

Took the words right out of my mouth.
if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

RIP Steve Cropper. If the only thing he had ever done was co-write Dock of the Bay with Otis, that would have been enough. But he left us SO MUCH MORE. Another Memphis Music legend gone. #DailyBudTunes

With each new game, I'm reminded of last year's Edey doubters. Last year, admittedly, he was still adapting to the difference between the NCAA and NBA game. But now...

Poll. I crashed at the half against the Clips. Then we came back to win. What do I do tonight, if we trail at the half?

Yall can thank me. I had a hard day yesterday, so I went to bed at the half when we were well down. Pleasantly surprised this morning. Pete and Brev nailed it in the pre-game, though. Talking about the Clips' age, they said they were usually stronger in the first half than the second.

Sure seems like most of the foul calls are landing on us.

Once in a long while, my FB feed produces a gem. Today: "Remember to bring up politics at Thanksgiving. It will save you some money on Christmas presents."

I am thankful for:
-People who support me
-Shelter, food, and clothes
-Music. Live, recorded, streamed, all good.
-Living in a walkable neighborhood full of friendly people
-Memories of those who have gone on.
-Health
-A good night's sleep and comfortable shoes.
Pretty basic, I know, but true.
