It is with great sadness that I share with you the news that my friend, Jan Grayson, passed away Sunday night in Louisville after a short illness.
Jan was the former Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, & had been a professor at @depauluniversity.bsky.social.

Just went to the Adam Sandler concert in Lexington. After Kevin James randomly showed up, Sandler pulled out a bass guitar, started playing Ice Ice Baby, and Vanilla Ice came out with a Ninja Turtle. Michelangelo. Great night at Rupp.

As I loaded the dishwasher this morning, my 7 year old son asked, "Dad, does coffee really make everything possible?"
Feeling he was now possibly the wisest of my 3 children, I turned to say yes, then realized he was reading the side of my Thorntons coffee cup from when I grabbed donuts earlier.

I survived multiple hours at the stern of the drift boat, folks.
Glad that my brother-in-law's best friend stayed an extra day after my nephew's wedding in Crested Butte. We both needed a fly fishing refresher.
Good times in Colorado. Back to Kentucky tomorrow.
