Been so busy with everyone home..Yesterday was the 1st day of my forced retirement.Joined Planet Fitness..ran 2 miles and walked 2...wow..so sore today...yesterday kept looking at my watch to see what time it was...10.05 am...thats 4th period...proud to say I only did it once today.
Tough after 33 years teaching,coaching,and being an adminstrator...
leaving to catch a train to NYC with my son in a few...got tickets to Broadway for Spamalot tonite...
I guess my wife and kids are worried about me so they bought me round trip tickets to Vegas for Jan 15th-22nd...I'll stay with my friend who is a nurse that retired there...what a great gift..off by myself....get to see hoops games at the casinos at the sportsbooks...
I loved it this summer with baseball games...if anyone of you guys are out there let me know...
GL tonite...it's about 10 degrees...
Hope everyone had a great New Year...

Happy New Year, Box!!!!

It will take some time, but you will not only enjoy retirement, but surely find something to do with your time that proves just as impactful and meaningful as your tenure in education. Nobody here doubts that at all.

As for checking your watch, I do that a lot too, but thats so that I dont miss the various kickoffs and tipoffs for sporting games around the country.....but you weren't really referring to that, were ya!?!? :142smilie

Good luck with you picks. Not sure I like Uconn or the Hall tonight....not sure what to make of either team just yet. I'd like to think the Huskies are back and should roll tonight, but not sure if they've found their offensive mojo yet.

Box,

Interested in your take in the Siena/Memphis game.

Any chance Siena coach has them walk it up the floor and work for a shot each trip.

side at 21'

total at 157'...look for somewhere around 85 for Memphis and 63 for Siena..

hoping ya might have some insight on the coaching possible avoiding a pasting.


Retirement...where can I sign up..


have fun.......you have earned every second.

Sorry Box.....but I think Seton Hall's guard play will come up with an upset tonight against the Huskies. Home Doggie Barks Tonight !!

gl tonight box....

my 1st game was last night, we won 69-13:scared :scared

i have a really special player, only 14 but if he is taught right I think he can play at a high level...he had 34 pts last night.....i made him sit to start the 1st 5 mins of the 2nd half as we were up 38-3 at half and the team couldnt get but one bucket in that span....he really helps everyone on the court, driving the lane and dishing down low for easy layups, he is great.....a bit wild and needs to cut down turnovers but i can help him with that.
