This was my weekend:
Friday-
1. I turned 50. Not too bad of a deal. I guess that makes me old now. (At least to AARP.)
2. At my birthday lunch my son tells me he just got his orders to fly to Afghanistan on Tue. (We thought he would have 3 weeks before he went instead he got 3 days. So much for an pleasant meal together.)
3. Went to a visitation for a man that I insure. He died of prostate cancer just like my Dad did. Talked to the deceased's son about my Dad's cancer so that he could compare it to what his father went through.
4. It was just a little over a year ago that my Dad passed away so I got to relive it in great detail. Rah.

Saturday-
1. Funeral for the gentleman above.
2. I can not remember the rest of Saturday at all. (I must be getting old.)

Sunday-
1. My son came to Church for the final time before he ships out.
2. Watched him say goodbye to all the Mothers and Grandmothers who have known him all his life. Many of them held him in their arms when he was a baby. It was hard for him. It was hard for them. It was hard for me and my wife.

Monday-
1. Got to have breakfast one last time and say goodbye one more time to him.
2. Help him get his last items organized. (Car rental, allergy pills, other supplies lined up. Could see his stress building up whenever there was a little snag. Ok his Mother really helped him with most of this. But it is my credit card that he is taking to Hertz.)

Tuesday- (I know. I know. The weekend is over by now.)
1. He flies out sometime in the afternoon. (It is bad enough when the FAA wants people to be at the airport 2 hours before their flight. He and his unit has to be there 6 hours before their flight.)

NEXT WEEKEND-
My daughter and I go to the Bears game!

See there is always hope.

It is a beautiful thing when your wife's friends or co workers are jealous of something you did.
Tell her Happy Bday from her long lost brother.

Just got a phone call from my son. He is in Maine. The plane is being refueled before they head to Germany.

Thanks for all your kind sentiments.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Former #Packers TE Josiah Deguara is signing a 1-year deal with the Jaguars, per source.
Zero2Cool (5h) : They do not do it for "content sake".
dfosterf (15h) : For the record, I enjoy Beast and Mucky drafts
Zero2Cool (22h) : Haha
Mucky Tundra (23h) : No time for talking! Back to work beast!
beast (27-Mar) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted

buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
