    Thanks for the info. We leave on July 16.
  2. REK last night at The Fillmore
  3. If it takes this long to decide, the call should stand
  4. Damn Jameson. Should have been Duncan, Curry, Kobe.
  5. It’s a toss-up. I lean toward Kobe as he won 2 championships without Shaq.
  6. Kobe. My team would have other big men who were more athletic and could make free throws.
  7. Going to the Robert Earl Keen show tomorrow at The Fillmore in SF.
  8. Jordan Bird, Magic Russell LeBron Kareem Hakeem Curry (especially after this Finals) Kobe Duncan
  9. A few points: The league was much different in the 80s. Almost every good team had multiple HOFers. Neither Bird nor Magic left their team in search of a championship they could call their own. The 86 team was Bird’s 3rd championship with the Celtics. In the 1981 Finals, Bird (in his 2nd year) averaged 15, 15, 7, and 2; and should have been the MVP (over Maxwell). KD is a great player; however, he’s no Bird.
  10. As a former athlete, I can tell you Jim Jordan was the guy who unknowingly washed his hair with piss-infused shampoo

    I hear ya; however, I created a spreadsheet that compares a la carte admissions vs. a 3 or 4 day pass and it’s pretty even. Mostly due to the London Pass being offered at a discounted price until June 30. Supposedly, the London Pass can also be used to skip lines for some venues.

    Anyone use the London Pass or Explorer Pass during their visit? Any issues with either? We have four full days to explore London (not including a day reserved for trip to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle) with two days that are more structured and two days that are more open. I’ve drafted an itinerary for us (4 adults/4 kids, 11-16) to see some of the main sites (e.g., Tower of London, Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey), as well as places to eat and a few “hidden gems” by general neighborhood. I’m still playing around with the itinerary and would welcome “must-sees” to consider. Our evenings are mostly free at the moment as we’ll check out our neighborhood for dinner spots. We may see a performance of King Lear one night. After dinner, my wife, her sister, and I will check out local pubs and some bars/clubs I’m interested in checking out (e.g., Trisha’s, Discount Suit Company).
  13. Mine, as well. When I was in middle school back in the 80s, my best friend’s family had a laserdisc player and we’d watch The Kids Are Alright every weekend. That and Airplane. /csb My brother’s best friend is the drummer mentioned in this article about jamming with Daltrey at a rock ‘n roll fantasy camp: https://nypost.com/2011/01/22/daltrey-thats-who/
  14. They’re doing amazing things with technology these days. Maybe modify human DNA so that one fetus arm develops into a gun? Gotta think outside the box.
  15. Congrats. Which part of the Bay Area? There is an alumni group: https://www.texasexes.org/chapters-and-networks/find-chapter-or-network/73/san-francisco-bay-area

    We like the flexibility of going with a private tour for this part of our trip. Getting picked up and dropped off at our VRBO is a huge selling point as it will be a long day with visiting multiple sites.

    How did you get to Stonehenge, public transportation or private tour? We’ll be in London next month (8 people, including my 78-year old MIL) and I’m trying to plan our trip to Stonehenge. We’re leaning toward a private tour as we won’t have to worry about transfers and will have the flexibility to see other sites.
  18. Tatum attacking the rim looking to score rather than dishing it made a difference

    Currently watching season 4. Prop Joe’s use of fake names and voices when calling to get info on Herc was greatness.
