"No matter how much you try to prepare yourself you are never going to be prepared to lose your job."
Good jobs news from Louisville.
I think the Kentucky desk is going to institute dedicated U.S. 60 task force to follow developments specific to that road. ... Yes! ... We just did!
Turning to sports, ...
Nice work! RT @steve_flesch: Way to go lefty! Russ Cochran wins on Champions Tour. #BBN

Wouldn't it be cool if Coach Jack Haskins's first address to the McCracken County Mustangs football team took place in The Heath Post Auxiliary Gym?
The 2014 Dawahares/KHSAA Hall of Fame class is out, and among the honorees are Madisonville's "Sonny" Collins (whom my father-in-law always calls, "Alfred"), Mike Fields (hooray for sportswriters!), and Don Frye (remember the Trojans!).
Owensboro Apollo and Mercer County are on the Ethernet ... scoreless in the bottom of the first ...
ReplyDeleteMike Fields @MikeFieldsNotes
DeleteMercer County up 4-0 on Apollo going to 5th. Mercer County pitcher J.T. Long has given up 3 hits, has 3 K's in 4 innings.
11:11 AM - 3 Jun 13
Cole Claybourn @ColeClaybournMI
DeleteDifference in this game is Mercer County is doing everything right fundamentally, getting the timely hits. Apollo doing just the opposite.
11:27 AM - 3 Jun 13
Mercer County and Prestonsburg have advanced, and now Henderson County and Letcher County Central are on WSON.
ReplyDeleteCols are up, 3-0, in bottom of the first and two hitters away from batting around ...

DeleteYup ... Henderson County's scheduled pitcher against Collins in the quarters is a guy who plans to play at WKU.
DeleteOn the lawyer suicides, there was a nice piece on National Review's web page from David French, a lawyer originally from Kentucky. I particularly liked this part:
ReplyDelete"We don’t tell kids that the wind can’t be caught. We tell them that they are the masters of the wind. And then one day they wake up, they barely know their kids, work is stressful, the bills have piled up, and they realize — with shocking suddenness — that they’ve likely already peaked. They won’t do better in life, and in their quest to fulfill their dreams they’ve often ignored the voice that calls them back to modesty, to focus on doing one’s duty — to God, to family, to country. The quest is not to 'have it all' but instead to have what God provides to do the work He calls us to do."
Tuesday's first-round games:
ReplyDelete-- Louisville Pleasure Ridge Park 5, Ashland Blazer 0
-- Louisville Saint Xavier 2, Logan County 1 (8 innings)
-- Harrison County 4, Union Larry A. Ryle 1
-- Elizabethtown Central Hardin 2, Lone Oak 0
Today's quarterfinals:
-- Mercer County vs. Presonsburg, 5 p.m. Central
-- Henderson County vs. Shelbyville Martha Layne Collins, 7:30 p.m. Central
Thursday's quarterfinals:
-- PRP vs. St. X, 5 p.m. Central
-- Harrison County vs. Central Hardin, 7:30 p.m. Central
Heart-breaking loss for Logan County yesterday, as St. X was one pitch away from being eliminated with a no-hitter. Behind 1-0 and after getting to a bases-empty, two-out, 0-2 count in the bottom of the extra, eighth inning, St. X created two runs out of a hit batsman, double, intentional walk and error.
DeleteFarewell to Lone Oak.
DeleteNot yet--the Purple Flash are in the state softball tournament, too. Starts tomorrow in Owensboro.
