How many days until LATE NIGHT in The PHOG!
?
and other dates of interest...*Estimate based on first Friday in October. Official announcement expected in July 2024.
KU MEN'S HOOPS -
Today is last chance to return day for Johnny Furphy and any other NBA Draft Early Entrants to withdraw from the draft and keep their eligibility to play college ball. Furphy is projected as a first round pick and expected to remain in the draft. The real question Self & Co are asking is will BYU wing Jaxson Robinson withdraw? Robinson is apparently KU’s top target of the EEs likely to withdraw. Robinson is not in anyone’s first round projections, but he also has given no indication he will be withdrawing.
The waiting is almost over.

As I post this the weather today in Lawrence is projected to be partly sunny with a high of 78F (25.6 C) and a low of 60F (15.6 C). The Accuweather posted chance of precipitation is 2%, with no precipitation projected until Thursday.
That is all for now.
Hope you have a GREAT day!
ROCK CHALK!
Thoughts for the day
”The more Susan waited, the more the doorbell didn't ring. Or the phone.”
Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dirk Gently, #1)
Time was a funny and fickle thing. Sometimes there was never enough of it, and other times it stretched out endlessly.
J. Lynn, Be with Me (Wait for You, #2)
Keep the faith. The vision is always for the appointed time. Be patient, prayerful and wait for the fulfillment of your visions.

It isn't necessarily easy.
It isn't necessarily fun.
But sometimes it's all you can do.
Wait.
Gracefully.
Wait.
With patience.
Wait.
Without making yourself and everyone else
miserable and edgy while you do.
…
Sometimes all you can do is
let things play out
the way they need to.

The waiting is the hardest part.
