    NCAA Men's Basketball 2025

    It seems like the big tournament was just over and here it is, mid August already. I'm still caught up in Baseball but I'm ready for some football and basketball. I'll be rooting for the local boys, The Wichita State Shockers, as I can't help myself. I doubt they will every have another deep...

    Friendly Reminder

    Concerned

    I'm concerned about the well-being of @Clementine_3 and @MoodyBlues. I know Moody is having health issues but had continued to log in to AF now and then even if she didn't post. She has not logged in this year. Clem is a more recent absentee. I know she was disappointed in the more recent...

    Happy Saint Patrick's Day

    Happy St Pat's day everyone! Though I no longer party hard on the 17th, I never fail to enjoy my family's traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage. I'm not nearly as Irish as I was told but that hasn't changed my traditions. Being Irish has little to do with the USA holiday. I hope that...

    TGL

    I'm watching the debut match of Tiger and Rory's golf league. There is some crazy tech going on. I think it would be a lot more fun to play than to watch. It's a fun enough watch. I wouldn't miss a good game to watch it. It's better than watching Oak Island reruns.
