-Taking the family on a trip down the PCH next July. Land in SF, fly home from San Diego. Two weeks. Hoping to mix in at least one ballpark(not Oakland). Have never looked more forward to a trip than this one.
-This is the day every year when I think I'd like to catch some Wimbledon action. Then I realize that 90 percent of top men's players are Euros I've never heard of so nah. Pretty cool to still see some 80's/90's greats in the game as coaches, etc., but only reinforces how bland the current crop seems, outside of Fed/Raf/Murray.
-"I Don't Care if I Never Get Back" is a fun baseball read. Two college buddies, 30 games in 30 MLB ballparks in 30 days.
-Always look forward to the Peach Jam coverage by local recruiting writers. This is the month when hardcore college basketball recruitniks seem to pare down their favorites for who they want Cal to land. I'm still on the fence about Quade Green vs. Trae Young, Jarrod Vanderbilt vs. P.J. Washington, Hamidou Diallo vs. Gary Trent, etc. Such a huge net this year, will be interested to see where Cal spends most of his time. And just as interesting to me as the elite kids are those second-tier kids that Cal will need to fill out the class, like Scruggs/Wilkes out of IN, and maybe even Hollingsworth out of Dunbar. Gotta have those guys almost as badly, because the cupboard will be as bare as ever after next year.
-Dad's Favorites always hits the spot for lunch. Never been to the downtown location, headed that way shortly.
