Tuesday Randos:
- First Monday like that in awhile.
Friday was a helluva lot of fun. Lass had a college friend in town from Boston who wanted to experience a little Kentucky so I had been looking for a bus trip to Keeneland forever. Found one from the Cincinnati Sports League (young professionals organization for kickball and such, basically), which was $75/per. ABH hooks me up with a rec from his old stomping ground- the Saddle Club. $45 which includes all alcohol and admission. Plus, they hooked us up with Servattis sandwiches. The bartenders are literally walking down the aisles on the way down serving bloodies and mimosas. It was awesome. Perfect weather. We ended up bringing a crew of 8 down. Most fun I've had at Keeneland in forever. Already hammered, made the silly decision to go karaoke when we got back, so ended up drinking from 9:30am to midnight. Not smart.
Always funny how quickly the day goes at Keeneland.
- It's amazing to me just how many people are unaware that Kentucky is just across the river from Cincinnati. Her friend had no idea, and I've heard the same thing from quite a few people.
- Is it just me or does Evan Daniels never actually say ****? He was on Jones' podcast for 40 minutes and didn't say a damn thing. I understand you guys don't like to make predictions, but it's your job.
- Best polo I've ever owned is some lightweight almost mesh Polo polo that I picked up at Value City 10 years ago for $30. Have never been able to find another one. Perfect fit. Perfect material. Only problem is that it's canary yellow. There are a lot more options today than when we first had this discussion in GYERO back in 2006, but I still feel there's a big hole in the market in high end sports apparel. It's still difficult to find a good UK buttondown or polo. I guess Southern Tides has the best polo I've seen. Good thing I'm more of a t-shirt guy anyway.
- Still best buddies with the same dudes from kindergarten and second grade. Really tight with a bunch from college and right after college as well. The only part of my life where I'm not is my high school buddies. Great dudes but the guys that got married early on.
- So, what's the consensus, parents- daughters or sons? I know most dudes usually hope for a son, but I've always thought the relationship between daughters and dads was really cool. Three of my best friends either have baby girls or have one on the way. Imagine it changes your perspective a bit.
- We're hitting up Sonoma for a day when we head out west. Her brother claims Napa is too touristy. I have no idea, of course.
- Kimmy Schmidt is back. I think Bloodlines is back soon. And GOT starts again on Sunday. Good time for TV.
- Hamidou Diallo, who Cal has been on for awhile, blew up this weekend. 6'5" athletic freak. Sounds like a better version of Archie Goodwin. Recruiting rounding into shape. Hope UK can lockdown that Trae Young/Michael Porter duo, Diallo and either Vanderbilt or Kevin Knox, along with an elite big.
