Happy 87th birthday Mom! My biggest fan and most helpful critic. Am so proud to be Mrs Couch’s son and thankful to still receive her daily love and guidance. Jane Calhoun Couch

Sunday morning newspapers in Kentucky and Sunday mornings in general are so much better and enjoyable after a big win on Saturday in basketball or football by the University of Kentucky (UK). UK CATS 85, the orange VOLS 81 at Tennessee.

With 21,000 of my fav people at our KY K-12 student technology leadership program (STLP) state championship at the Central Bank Center & Rupp Arena. No other single day event uses more space in these two facilities each year than this one! STLP Rocks!

At Mom’s this morning. Her birthday gift arrived from England yesterday. Her new brown recliner chair will be delivered to her home today from Bailey’s Furniture in Salyersville. She picked it out at Bailey’s on her birthday a month ago in the Mocha color she wanted.

A busy Saturday. Today is the 150th Kentucky Derby where 18 of the 20 horses in it were born in Kentucky. We also use the occasion to celebrate the birthday of our Derby Day daughter Amanda and grandson Rowan. But first, watching Scooby-Doo on the Boomerang Cartoon Network.

Sporty Girls. 🏀 ⚽️ 🥎 🏐 🎾 We’ve had a lot of family pictures together but didn’t have a recent picture alone, until now, with my all time fav girl’s basketball, softball, soccer and volleyball player. Amanda Jane was also very good at tennis too as is her husband Aaron.

Our grandson Aiden and his Hopkinsville High School teammates won in the regional championship game tonight. They next play in the KY high school sweet 16 state baseball championship next week in Lexington. He’s here with his Mom and our oldest daughter Alissa. Big smiles.

Me, right after the University of Kentucky baseball team won their first game ever in the College World Series with a home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Go Bat CATS!!!

Good morning! Been a Celtics fan since I was 5. In your early youth, sometimes you do and don’t pick a good fav team. Even if they do win a championship, it may be a long wait or never before they get another opportunity. It’s been awhile but they finally got another one.

Happy 4th of July! Ever wonder why we celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks? The tradition dates all the way back to 1777 at Independence Day festivities in Boston and Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, cannons lit up the sky, firing 13 times to represent the 13 original colonies.

Jonny Quest is my all-time fav cartoon. Like me, was birthed in the 1960s. The science, technology, quality of the story lines and international setting still make it relevant today. My 1st dog was named Bandit. As I’ve aged, have more of a Race Bannon going look now 😏
