    Talk to me about replacing windows...

    In 2021 we replaced 20 windows with Pella triple pane. It was expensive but they were having a BOGO sale and it cost us US$25K. They're great but I shudder to think what it would cost today.

    OT: Cleveland rocks (been singing this all morning)

    Have you been here, meyers7? We're on 20% of the fresh water on the planet. Affordable housing, no traffic jams (unless there's an accident or some other catastrophe) good restaurants. Come and experience Cleveland. If you still want to mock it, so be it.

    OT: Cleveland rocks (been singing this all morning)

    It's going to be a busy weekend. At one point I was going to offer a guest room to a UConn fan but the eclipse is Monday and we have houseguests for that.

    San Diego State Post Game Thread

    We've got to get a message to Coach to use painters' booties in hotel rooms. My husband doesn't like to wear shoes in hotel rooms and I try to tell him that those carpets aren't very clean, so I pack painters' booties to slip over his socks. I call that a win/win. That's why we just celebrated...

    Ranking the best players that Uconn has knocked out of the tournament.

    Drew Timme? Or was it all hype about him? I was living in Idaho in 1999 and that's all the papers talked about.

    Flying When UConn is playing in Tournament

    We were living in Idaho at that time and had a satellite dish which didn't receive network channels, so we had to go to a bar to watch the game. We were the only ones cheering on our beloved Huskies against Gonzaga and we experienced some very real hostility. At the end of the game they...

    Northwestern Post Game Thread

    I wouldn't be too concerned. They seem to pull it out when they need to. No one expected them to lose to Northwestern.

    ST Johns declines NIT bid

    Why any player would want to play for him is beyond me. He ditches all the players he inherited, hand picked his team in the portal, and publically trashes them and now whines about not making the tournament.

    I love Danny, but….

    It's quite refreshing to see people willing to be their authentic selves, knowing that some will embrace them and some will find fault with them as opposed to those who are afraid of offending anybody, anywhere, and any time or any place.

    Kevin Ollie to be Nets Interim Head Coach

    I'm still not sure what caused him to leave (some recruiting violations come to mind) but it's kind of harsh not to wish him well in future endeavors.

    Brando and Donny (merged [twice])

    While we're talking about Donny, what kind of knot is his tie? It's not the standard half windsor that most men use.

    Rituals and Superstitions

    Waay back in the dream season I remember keeping track of all the fouls committed by both teams in a little notebook which Tom considered a MoJo artifact. I remember playing Georgetown with their twin towers when we managed to get them in foul trouble. I no longer do that because the announcers...

    Chief’s Briefs - Georgetown Edition

    I thought the comment of the game was something to the effect of "You can't guard with your back".

    NY eve rib roast

    And open the windows. I often have to waive a bath towel at the smoke detector to the delight of the grandkids. There she goes again!

    NY eve rib roast

    I do the high temp method. 500 for 15 minutes, then 325 for about 15 min/lb, checking the temp often when it gets close. It always takes longer than I think.

    Standing rib roast, mashed potatoes, broccoli, rolls & butter, Mac&Cheese for the kindergartener and ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins.

    “What Duke was, UConn is”

    It was probably 20+ years ago, but I remember a thread about reviewing books and movies we hadn't read or seen. It was fun.

    2024 Final four

    If anyone is interested in attending the Final Four in Cleveland, I've got a guest room and a private bathroom to share. We're about 15-20 minutes west of downtown.

    Terrence Samuel?

    I asked the question because I came across the 2014 "One Shining Moment" and wondered what happened to him. I'm in Ohio and don't subscribe to CT papers. I knew I could get the answer here.

    Terrence Samuel?

    So do we know why Samuel transferred after his freshman year during the National Championship season? I've done a cursory search and could never come up with a credible answer.

    Welcome Jonathan XV!

    We had one with both crystal blue eyes. Our best dog ever, but the shedding, whew. They don't bark but they howl. She would tattle on the cat every time it jumped on the kitchen counters, by howling and then the cat would jump down. Also, if I had a big holiday roast in the oven she would...

    Is Sanogo the player we miss the most?

    I'll miss Jackson the most. I'll specifically miss the play when he drives full speed up the court stops on a dime and drops a pass to a trailing Hawkins managing to simultaneously set a screen and get the assist.

    OT: What’s Your Specialty?

    I also forgot to mention my green bean salad. Cook the beans until crisp-tender, blanch in ice water, dry them off and add chopped sun dried tomatoes (preferably smoked), sliced almonds for texture and ranch salad dressing. I used to be able to buy sliced almonds with caesar salad flavoring...
