					<description><![CDATA[it&#039;s been a long while since I&#039;ve visited that part of the state (lake george)...most folks whom think of new york couldn&#039;t imagine just how beautiful, rural and green that part of the state is...

good for you for staying active like that...ha, I&#039;m still working on my &quot;handle&quot;, which has progressed from god awful to just simply terrible...

rightfully so, you must have intense pride for his service...can&#039;t imagine the parental worry that goes along with having a child deployed...

I was blessed, spent maybe a total of 2 weeks in the woods, out of like almost 15 years of school and service...

my new VA doc is a younger vet, he was deployed to a combat zone...made me think that although it&#039;s a small percentage of folks whom serve in the armed services - it&#039;s an even smaller percentage that are involved in combat...something like 7 or 8 service members to support every 2 or 3 folks actually involved in a combat zone...

when it comes to service compensation there should be a distinction for the very few whom serve in a combat situation:

full medical coverage and tax exempt status for life <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[howdy wayloncash, life is good brother :)

met my new va primary care physician today - thank god him and my therapist are both younger than myself - all my other physicians keep retiring...

too funny, really feeling like the stereotypical old person with doc appointments all the time...just trying to keep the wheels from falling off...

getting ready to go watch youngest son in his &quot;y&quot; basketball league final tonight...he plays point guard for the team - and oh is he a score first PG...

shooters gotta shoot i guess...

so much fun watching him (11) and his older brother (14) compete in sports...they got a bunch of love and support in their lives so when they&#039;re out there competing they just shine with joy...

it was cool, him and his brother took on some grown folks (who looked and acted like brothers themselves) at the park the other weekend and won a few games against them while talking smack the whole time...

it was kind of hilarious, folks don&#039;t expect the ball to go in consistently from some kid shooting...the guys they were playing were cool and good sports thankfully...

at least once a week i&#039;ll make sure to remind one of the boys that pretty much no one else in my or their mom&#039;s family has ever had it as good as they do in terms of resources and family support...

having two active caring parents, that&#039;s like winning the freaking  lottery...

how you doing this fine friday wayloncash? if it&#039;s okay to ask - where in the wide world are you spending the evening?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; Leon tenure record indicates that no media reporter knows what Leon is about to do before he does it. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Let’s see… Everyone knew he was going after Brunson, OG, Bridges, and Towns. Everyone knew he was going to draft Obi Toppin. Everyone knew he was shopping Grimes. Everyone knew he wanted to bring Alec Burks back. Everyone knew he was going to trade out of the lottery in 2022. 

Yeah he’s a real ninja.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Geo, you crack me up.  Thanks and I hope you are doing good!  My biggest issue is whether Mitch and Kat could start together.  It&#039;s hard for me to warm up about 11 and 12 players on the roster.   As to Mitch and Kat, I love the way their skills are complementary, even as to rebounding.  One is great offensively, one defensively.  Mitch gets you extra opps, Kat clears the glass.  That&#039;s a great combo and opps are huge-very underrated.  Getting an extra 3 point attempt is gold.  If the two are operational together (why not?), the real question boils down to whether Hart or Mikal starts.   I am not a Mikal fan.  I respect his skills, but do not like his game, which I think is weak.   However, I also do not think he would embrace the bench nor excel in that role.  He is too passive.  I would start Mikal and bring Hart off the bench, reluctantly.  Starting a dude that is too passive sounds dumb at first blush.  Nevertheless, I would also &lt;strong&gt;hard&lt;/strong&gt; counsel Mikal to be much more aggressive on offense-his defense is fine and sometimes excellent.  He needs to draw more fouls, more contact, hard stop.  If he can&#039;t he &lt;strong&gt;needs to be moved&lt;/strong&gt;-his skills are above average but the rest of the package isn&#039;t. Hart is different and he could easily run the second unit with Deuce and some other pretty good complementary players.  Just my take.]]></description>
