Ok totally personal riff so sue me.
First let me thank Evan for exemplifying a lot of what this site means to me.
When my son took his first job and moved to Clevepatch I immediately thought of Evan and asked him if he would mind a bit of low level surrogating. Evan stepped up offering housing, food, and other urban advice and the assurance that he would be there if Leo needed bail or whatever. We also enjoyed a golfing tour of Cleveland to cement the adoptive process. This is a great thing about this treehouse: I know that almost any habitable spot on this planet harbors someone I can connect with and ascertain I can count on. Thank you again Evan
Secondly I remember OT posts concerning sporting allegiances so I am shouting out Vandy baseball. I am not particularly happy with some of the attitudes my alma mater now promotes but I am delighted to see a small school program dominate a MAJOR college sport. Just look in the stands at Omaha tonight and the sea of Maroon. Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, NC State: They have dominated these massive state schools the past few years. How refreshing. Kudos to Coach Corbin who is clearly one of the greatest ever.
I had tickets when they won in 2019 for Omaha which is on my bucket list but had a good friend qualify for the US Sr Open in South Bend and punted to follow him. What a fun event it appears to be!
