All Growns Up
Speaking as someone who didn't and doesn't have the personal discipline to complete a graduate degree while working a full-time job and trying to be a good husband, I'm beyond impressed by our boy Teejay's graduation from Georgetown University with a Masters Degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communications.

I give good photo
ReplyDeleteShlara also just wrapped her Master's, so congratulations are in order for her as well.
ReplyDeletenice, shlara!
ReplyDeleteI realize that many of you guys have advanced degrees, so this isn't that big of a deal. But like Rob said in the post, it takes some commitment to do this when you're older and have more responsibilities that you can't neglect. So I'm pretty excited for me and Teej. And now we have two exciting college basketball teams to cheer for.
ReplyDeleteNicely done Teedge and Shlara (Teeshladge?). I got a degree at night and at times it was a miserable slog. Hopefully your new edjumacation will lead to improvements throughout your life, including the quality of content on this blog.
ReplyDeletethat american girl who collided with a fellow runner in the olympic 5k ran the final mile with a torn acl and meniscus. respeck.
ReplyDeletezdaughter got in a fight at the pool today with another girl who tried to take a toy away from her. The other girl started the beef but zdaughter finished it. Apparently zdaughter can throw--she had to be pulled off the other girl. Note that it was a fair fight in that both combatants are about two-and-a-half years old.
ReplyDeleteHit the Texas Book Depository today TR. Did not have the Twilight Zone experience you did but still quite eery.
ReplyDeleteAdvanced degrees while working a full time job is certainly something to be very proud of. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYou should celebrate by watching Croatia-Serbia tonight. It's not often you get to see two countries that have waged a bloody war within the past 25 years engage in a high level international basketball game.
Dario Saric was just murdered.
ReplyDeleteI hope you dug it. Is a neat place to visit for an hour or two. Almost got a bit dusty in the museum for me.
ReplyDeletewhat do we think lochte and the boys were actually up to? hookers and blow seems too easy.
ReplyDeleteI got a buddy who's got a buddy named Dario Zagar who can dance just like Paul Stanley.
ReplyDeleteDon't get that many Darios around town.
Cool, but how is his Paul Stanley stage banter?
ReplyDeleteOne of my bandmates has a collection of nothing but Stanley stage banter, and it's brilliant.
Just because hookers and blow is easy doesn't mean it's not the answer, Rob.
ReplyDeleteIn case anybody was wondering, Croatia-Serbia was terrific. Highly energetic and passionate. Both Bogdanovic's were terrific and my boy Mario Hezonja was clutch in the 4th during the Croatian comeback (that ultimately fell short).
Regardless, I am anxious to hear the scoop.
ReplyDeleteTJ and Shlara congrats.
ReplyDeleteThere's a sentence I never thought I'd read.
ReplyDeletelochte and the boys were filming a pitch for 'the hangover 4: blame it on rio'.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be disappointed if it's NOT hookers + blow.
ReplyDeleteBilly Bush was being interviewed about it on MSNBC this morning and he basically said "Lochtce is too dumb to make up an outrageous story"
NBC is airing track relays this morning (not sure if it's actually live).
So much more fun to watch than swimming relays.
They vandalized a gas station and then made up the story????
ReplyDeleteWeak. Unless they were jacked up on Brazilian marching powder and the gas station attendant welched on a promise for hookers.
I don't understand why they needed to make up a story. They broke a door, paid the guy who owned the door enough that he was satisfied, and went on their way. Something's missing.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the stupidity of drunk athletes, Z.
ReplyDeleteI knew a football player who was arrested at Florida for throw a Jimmy Johns sub at the maker of said sub. To be fair though, Jimmy Johns sucks.
In 1996 I snorted gin from a plastic spoon with an Olympic Gold Medalist and a handful of GTB contributors/ associates. Gave a quick headrush, but hurt like hell.
ReplyDeletequite certain I was in that mix as well
ReplyDeletemary lou retton?
ReplyDeleteNope. Backstroker who won gold in Atlanta. Showed up at a party with a pint of gin and a box of plastic spoons. I was usually down to do whatever in those days, but I definitely felt some peer pressure on that occasion.
ReplyDeleteThe backstroker in question was the older brother of Unit M little sister/FOG:TB Derek's girlfriend (who hugged the backstroker on TV after he won gold in Atlanta). He held world records at some point. Anyway, he came by the house a few times, always with a flask of gin and a box of plastic spoons. He would make you snort the gin off the spoon, noting that his little sister did one so you should too. That sort of logic made sense when I was 20, especially coming from an Olympic gold medalist.
ReplyDeleteshlara's boy fox on with bomani jones right now. that dude is great.
ReplyDeleteClarence BMP has to be involved. How else could one stay up that late?
ReplyDeleteRafer Johnson getting some prime time name drops.
ReplyDeleteAnything about the Upsilon award?
ReplyDeleteAt 29, Bolt is the oldest to win the 200. Did not know that. *johnny Carson voice*
ReplyDeleteDrinking an exceptional old fashion at Industry Alley Bar in Dallas. Good spot.

ReplyDeleteJeff Rouse was the swimmer. Under-the-radar backstroker who won 3 golds and a silver in the 92/96 Olympics. When an Olympic champion hazes you into doing gin snorts, you obey. That's apparently the healthy way they get a buzz on while training.
ReplyDeleteI did it once w/ some high school friends right after college. It looks worse than it is and is a neat party trick.
I'm just listening to the replay of Fox on Bomani's show.
ReplyDeleteHe is awesome.
And I've had many conversations with him that go exactly like that.
i mean, blog post, shlara. we can change the names to protect the innocent. and the guilty.
ReplyDeleteSo we're not talking about Sharper, right? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteHi Gheorghies.
ReplyDeleteSharper deserved worse than what he got.
congrats masters!
ReplyDeletei should go to college again (undergrad, of course)
It kind of sucks that the US and Spain have to meet in the Men's basketball semifinals while Serbia and Australia square off in the other semifinal but at least it gives me a great excuse to skip out on work early.
ReplyDeleteI'm in West Palm Beach for the weekend for the wife's company banquet but I did make it down here in time to watch the second half of USA-Spain.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how different our go to lineup is now that shit actually matters. Coach K has gone defense with Lowry/Butler as his favorite backcourt and he's been rewarded. We'll never have the offensive continuity of teams that have played together for years but if we can get stops and run then we go to another level because we're much more talented.
The German women's relay team though.
ReplyDeleteI know Man U is only 5.263% of the way done with their regular season, but holy crap they look good.
ReplyDeleteibra has genital warts
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of respect for the men's divers b/c what they do looks impossibly difficult, but it is a bit too homo-erotic for me. Having a US diver with the name Steele Johnson doesn't help.
