Go Devils!

I'm really jazzed about ASU sports right now.
  • Both the Men's and Women's Track and Field teams are NCAA Champions.
  • The Men's Baseball team is ranked number 1, is undefeated and beat that other school from Arizona last night.
  • The Women's Basketball team made is seeded 6 in its NCAA Tournament bracket.
  • The Men's Basketball team is seeded number 1 in its NIT bracket and won a first round game last night.

    Of course I believe the Men's Basketball team should have been invited to the NCAA tournament. They beat U of A twice, for gosh sakes! Why U of A is there and we're not, I cannot tell you. Having said that, we had the chance to clinch a spot by winning just one of several key games at the end of the season and didn't get it done. Hopefully, the NCAA snub will inspire an NIT Championship.

    I alternated between the NIT game and the baseball game last night. Good stuff!

    The basketball game started out as a rout but it ended up being a little more of a competitive battle at the end though I never thought ASU was in real danger of losing it.

    U of A's baseball team is ranked right behind us in the number 2 spot so that baseball win was not a gimme. Our closing pitching staff had to hold on to a one run lead and they were convincing in doing so.

    It's a great time to be a Sun Devil!

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
