My good news is that the new basketball coach is killing it. He's rebuilt the team in a month.

My friend Dave Barnett, who coaches baseball at Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL, is retiring after 30+ years. This past weekend, we went to his last home series. He has over 1,000 wins and is in the college baseball Hall of Fame. They had a great retirement ceremony. They gave him a painting of the stadium. They are retiring his number, they are naming the street in front of the complex after him, AND they are going to put up a statue. I was blown away. He's a great guy (he was in my wedding). He played college ball at North Carolina, had a cup of coffee with the Expos, and played several years with The King and His Court.

They gave away Dave Barnett bobbleheads, T-shirts, and fans with his face on them. It was an incredible day. Also, they swept the weekend series and made it to the playoffs.

I'm leaving today for a 400-mile bicycle trip across north Alabama and Georgia.
