His time is not his own right now. Even though I wasn't onboard yesterday morning to announce it, it turned out it didn't matter since K's half day of work was turned upside down anyway. What is that expression? Make plans, but hold them loosely.

Anyway, thanks, Nucky, for your prayers. I am pretty exhausted this week. First, I come back from vacation already tired and working long hours doesn't necessarily mean good sleep for me. In fact, often times just the opposite since I'm all keyed up. I'm really happy that I set a retirement date. Here's hoping I make it in one piece to that day. Talk about making plans......

About you slipping a NOTHING violation right past us - well, aren't you becoming the slick one? Even W wasn't that good. I guess I better keep a closer eye on you so K doesn't have to do double duty.

Have a good day everyone - I'm off to work.

It's hard to explain why that's the most complimentary thing a coach can hear.

One night there was a big spaghetti fund raiser at the HS after a golf match. I forgot who got the proceeds but it wasn't the golf team.
So I ate with my friends and my team ate with their friends. After dinner one of my players said he was in trouble. [His dad was a great guy and had 6 kids. Everyone in that family golfed. I coached 4 of his kids that went to public school.] So my player [Tim, son 3] said he lost his retainer and his father is going to kill him. [I knew the dad, and the most it would be was a you let me down speech.] Tim told me he removed the retainer and wrapped it in a napkin. A cute junior girl who was on clean-up came around and maybe she put it in the garbage. Tim and I went through 4 barrels of spaghetti dinner clean-up before we found it. He washed it off and put it in his mouth.
ooops--truth be told i forgot about nothing

It's the same as being a parent, which as a coach you kind of are. NOTHING like being told your kids are a joy to be around - it usually means you did something right. Character building beats winning any day in my book. Good job, coach!

You are NOTHING but a trooper to go through 4 barrels of garbage. That boy owed you big time.

The last year before my retirement was NOTHING but the longest year of my life.

Fine......I'll be more conscientious, Kommander.

Boy, that is early for you. Stay alert and be safe. NOTHING needs you.

Can't believe the weather up north. They had tornados in central MA and floods in VA. NOTHING but beautiful here.

I think I just had an ESP moment with you. Before I logged on I was thinking about asking how the weather is down there. Then I open up to this - weird.

Anyway, obviously I was in my own little bubble today at work because I had heard NOTHING about the tornado in MA. Although I have to say the clouds and weather on my way to work this morning were NOTHING but unusual and threatening and appeared to be heading north. Between last night and this morning we were getting on and off downpours of rain. Now it is absolutely gorgeous outside - sunny skies and tolerable humidity. I almost went for a walk when I got in from work, but here I am doing NOTHING!

We just got back from walking the dog. We went to the farmers market this morning and now I need to plan what I am going to do with my goodies. NOTHING but another great day.
