If you watch all of the episodes up to this one, I think you'll be happy you did. It's the perfect place for a mini-binge before the final 2 episodes.

I started it a couple of nights ago and finished Episode 4 last night to catch up. Been enjoying it and now I'm am waiting with lots of anticipation for the rest of the season. Love the relationships Dunk is forming with the other characters.

As someone who has been retired for about a decade, my advice to anyone is you better start saving when you start working. I did that with one investment that cost me $33/month from 1985-2024. That was a life insurance policy that paid me $65K in 2024 when I turned 65. I started that the first year I got out of college. Started it thru a frat brother who moved to Dallas a couple of years before I did. My company didn't have 401k's until my 15th year on the job there. As soon as the 401K was available, I put as much as I could into that for the next 10 years

In October of 2010, when I was 51 years-old, I had a blood clot that caused compartment syndrome in my left leg. They did a fasciotomy on it to save my life, but there was nerve and vascular damage to the leg that can't be fixed. I was on life support for six weeks and had to do dialysis when my kidneys quit functioning. Besides the fasciotomy I had 10 follow up procedures before getting out of the hospital. My kidneys started back working, but my health was kind of ruined. I had great health insurance, but owed the hospital a little over $9K when I went home.

I haven't worked since 2010. I kept my money in the 401K and kept up the life insurance thru 2024. I paid the $9K over about six months after I started receiving disability insurance during the first year and a half of being away from work. I started getting my Social Security retirement money about 20 months after getting out of the hospital. It's the same as what I would get from retirement. I did get a lump sum payment for the 20 months I went without it, but I had to pay back the $11K I got from the disability insurance.

I didn't think I was going to have enough money to live on, but I do. Now that I've reached 65, I reinvested both the $65K from the insurance and $100K of the 401K in an annuity that's done well the first year. I'm basically here in Ruston, living off my Social Security. I couldn't do that in Dallas.

I wish the company I started working for in 1984 had offered the 401K from the beginning. That would have been 15 more years of contributions from both me and the company. I also wish I'd done the life insurance for more money.

Lots of good photos from the TAG Heuer ads he did.

He's kind of skinny, and maybe a little frail looking, but:

He can pull off the Tux scene that is in nearly every Bond movie.



He can get in, and out of, a sports car.



There are thousands of women who have posed for selfies with him. Most are from when he was in Milan for the TAG thing.

Over the weekend that I turned 40 I stumped my little toe on the back of my bathroom door and broke it. I had been living there for seven years and had never done that before. It hit real hard mentally. I assumed that kind of stuff was going to happen more often. I was right. :banghead:

Turned 67 last week. I honestly have trouble figuring out whether my joints hurt more when I do my 2.7 mile walk three days in a row, or skip three days in a row. The joints ache either way so I try to do it three or four times a week.
