I got so excited when I first saw Caitlin Clark play basketball at Iowa. I tried to be a WNBA fan, but the league and the players have done so many things to turn me away. I now care very little about what goes on there. 😐

Recent talk of Las Vegas buffets reminded me of the two absolute worst buffets I've ever visited -- both in Las Vegas: the Kirin Buffet on Flamingo and the Circus Circus buffet. Words can't adequately describe how horrible they were.

It's almost time for me to leave Las Vegas and head home -- back to reality, as my wife reminded me this morning. 😄

Excellent dessert selection from last night's dinner with @FlynnandO and @bigfokkerdog at Heavenly Pizza Pies & Trattoria in Las Vegas.

After watching some YouTube videos on the Excalibur buffet, I decided to try it this morning. It was actually pretty good. Score one in the win column for the Dirty Castle! 😀👍

My mom is moving to Washington state in October so I won’t have childcare anymore 😭 going back to playing mostly online (even though I hardly play live now) and no social life. Sad and stressed but going to try to take advantage of the time I do have now through October. This…

Recent talk about movie stars got me thinking about my five favorite male movie actors. They would be (at least today!): James Cagney, Tom Hanks, Humphrey Bogart, Robert De Niro, and John Cazale.

Tough days starting. Our adult son, who has been living with us for eight months, is heading back to Seattle tomorrow. While having him in AZ has been a blessing, we are not handling his departure very well. 😢

Ummm ... about those WNBA players who might go on strike. Check out the prices for the hot WNBA tickets. They beat the crap out of the person who made them relevant. Idiocy at its finest.
