Ridiculous, Sublime, Filler

Just changing the drapes for a new look in here. Do enjoy this absurd catch by Daulton Varsho on a drive by Jarren Duran. Hat tip to the Teej for sharing.

  1. RIP Mike Peters of the Alarm. Super long, hard fought battle, but ultimately F cancer once again.

  2. What a catch. I was going to see if I could effort a filler WGSAGP for this beauty from 1969. It's an older model of one I currently have, but has the prized brazillian rosewood that became scarce after 1970.

    I'm going to check it out. If I pull the trigger, I'll have a six string for sale soon if anyone's interested.

  3. My Dad turns 80 today. You wouldn't know it looking at him. Still works out 4-5 days a week, plays golf a couple times a week and works a shift at the local sub shop/bar 3 days a week. Most of the family is surprising him at the sub shop at 2 for a birthday lunch. He'll be annoyed by all the attention.

    This weekend my nephew and niece graduate from FSU, so we'll be in Tallahassee for all the festivities. Big week around here.

  4. took the huskies to a washington spirit training session today. way cool. players were so generous to the kids, coach got to learn some stuff about training plans. core memory for the kids - several of our hispanic players were swooning over meeting leicy santos, among others.

  6. big gameday for your huskies. top of the table tilt at home. we've got two wins and a draw in district play, the exact same record as our opponent. winner is in first place at the midway point in the district season. get fired up, husky fans!

  7. Let's go, Huskies. Here's hoping that Spirit training session vibes carry over and kick players out of trend of somnambulent starts.

  12. Speaking of soccer- the Inter Milan-Barca match yesterday was epic. Perfect for an afternoon when I wasn't working.

    In other sports news- the kid plays the beachside middle school rival in volleyball this evening. They got smashed the first time around. Hoping for a more competitive result today.

  13. Artemis was Greek goddess of the hunt and the wild, protector of animals sacred to her, and lover of set pieces and false 9s. Maybe she works as soccer deity.

  14. also of chastity, which may be appropriate for young women.

  18. whoever the gods are, they forsook your huskies this evening. back and forth and fun first half saw us on the wrong side of a 2-1 score. coach made a bad call which led to the second goal. kids talked about playing with joy and for one another in the second half. i was pumped - felt great about their attitude. we were the aggressors for the first 10 minutes, then they got a third goal on a nice play, a fourth on a mistake by our center back, a fifth on a penalty (correct call), and a sixth on a corner kick.

    their fuckface of a coach (same one who made an appearance in the rob lasso series here: https://gheorghe77.blogspot.com/2021/06/rob-lasso-finale.html) kept his starters in the game until the final 10 minutes while i substituted liberally well before that. their kids did the worm on the field after the penalty goal, which is pretty classless, too.

    told the kids afterwards to remember the feeling, remember the disrespect, and carry it with them for the next three games until we meet these guys again.

    lotta ball left. stay on target.
