BACK-BACK BACK!!!

 The blog is returning with some exciting new offerings.

It has been awhile since my last post, so I will pump the gas and start the engine slowly before revving up to full speed.

To start. A look at some of my CV-19 Dilemma 

posts from the past few months.

{CV-19 Dilemma #1}

If you were wondering where

Dr. Tony Fauci goes when he has Corona Virus questions...

(stay safe, my friends)

{CV-19 Dilemma #2} 

We detest the virus, but love not getting all those unsolicited telemarketing calls!

{CV-19 Dilemma #3}

Which skyrockets faster?

Birth rate?

Divorce Rate?

{CV-19 Dilemma #4}

               You keep confusing CNN's, Dr. Sanjay Gupta with

                                           pole vaulting great, Sergey Bubka.

TAHOE GOLF

I spent Tuesday checking out the Pro-Am 
at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe.


What a great site and a great scene!


The tournament kicks into high gear on Thursday when the full throng of celebs and athletes hit the course for NBC, 


but Tuesday's action was as good taste of things to come.
Take a look at some of my photos.

Roger Clemens in
 red, white and blue!

Josh Beckett hits the range.


My high school rival, Joe Theisman,
 signs for the crowd.

Mark Rypien on the tee.

Larry takes the 
obligatory selfie at Tahoe.


Great setting no matter how
 bad your golf game goes!

I hope you get to tune in.

The Flipping Finals!

I don't usually get too caught up in stats 
unless they really "wow" me, 
but two from these NBA Finals stand out.


The Warriors committed just 4 turnovers 
in Game #1 to  20 for the Cavs.
Since then, the GSW have turned the ball over
 50 times in the last three games 
compared to only 34 times for Cleveland.

The four game total now stands at 
54 turnovers against GSW and 52 against the Cavs.
-
Three-point shooting has been phenomenal in the Finals
and phenomenally close, too.
In four games, GSW has taken 148- 3PA (57 made)
the Cavs have shot 149 from long distance 
and canned 55 of them
--
Oh. One more interesting item. 
Each team has taken 100 free throws in the series.

GSW knocked down 82. 
CAVS have hit 77.
-
See if the trends continue in game #5.
