Randos:
-Still pretty pumped about what we saw from the BBall team. I have no predictions on the actual season, done with that **** ----> but I'm fairly certain this will be a fun & exciting group, that actually enjoys each other. So many handlers & willing creators/passers really makes things (especially shooting) look so much better. We've had plenty of good shooters of late (as proven by their % before & after their time here) they just never got looks & when they did they weren't typically ready to make them.
Plus, Losses aside, the last several squads have been absolutely JOYLESS, even when playing well/winning. That **** matters, and it spreads to the fanbase. Seems this group isn't going to have that problem. Plus, we have some DUDES & are actually guard/wing heavy for once
-Super last minute solo trip out to Vegas last weekend for WNBA All Star weekend. Was 111-115 the entire time, which sounds worse than it actually is unless you go there primarily to run, workout, & hike, as my friends do.
Didn't even come within 5 miles of the strip. Stayed downtown for 2 nights, first time actually staying down there...really a lot going on down there these days, especially outside Fremont. Just love the compact nature and pure gambol/odds.
Moved a little out of town for the final night at South Point. Long known as one of the most hardcore sports/racebooks, was super impressed. Place is huge, and actually very nice. Musberger's VSIN studios are there right off the Book, and the racebook is an entirely separate area and pimped out. $10-15 tables Standard, and a really nice pool area. Basically a huge standalone casino/spa/resort in the middle of the desert, highly recommend if you're over the Strip shenanigans as am I.
-After a weekend away in Vegas, my penance was Beyonce last night. PNC Club amenities made it comfy, and the concert was actually a good time. She's not my cup of tea anymore, but damn she looks arguably better than ever, and is one helluva performer. It was basically a 2.5 hour Super Bowl Halftime show in terms of production, live bands, dancers, effects, costumes, sets. Never really been to a Pop World Tour production of that scale. Was dreading, but it was fine, as concerts almost always are. The talent in attendance was supreme, and Lassie enjoyed. Also treated a biz partner and his avid
wife.
Highlight was a 30 minute house/dance segment where she wore a skin colored outfit with a bikini wrap of one black hand on her breast & one black hand on her P, to where it looked like she was getting blasted the entire time. Pretty dope.
-Any you footballs have a lean on RB1? Always assumed it would be Davis after we landed, but that doesn't seem to be the case, or at least far from clear cut. Been a long time since we've been in this spot without a true feature guy.
-I love any kind of summer 'salad': Cucumber, Tomato, Onion, Corn, Guac, etc. etc.
-Idle Hour Saturday w/ the besties.
-Worst Summer for new music I can recall, but I guess it's to be expected. Even in recent years, as music gets worse and worse, you can still typically count on a handful of summer jams.
-Been on a MASSIVE shellfish kick this summer. Oysters, Lobster, Crab, Mussels. Nearly weekly, and Can't seem to get enough.
--Anyone besides Chad & I ready for Fall yet? All in favor of just skipping August (or if you've seen a leprechaun) say YAYEAAH!
