Blogging today: I'm not sure how this morning plays out. It's possible, due to family commitments, I will be off the net for much of the morning. It depends on whether I get "reception" at venue this morning.
A stand-alone post? Maybe. But for now, let this sink in -- do you think the White House is watching?

NBA: tomorrow night -- for the Boston Celtics, win or it's over in game six.
USGA: US Open begins tomorrow
- story line: Phil's reception?
- story line: how well will Phil play? Prediction: barely makes the cut.
- story line: how will be be received by fans, athletes? Prediction: not well.
- this will be the number one reason to tune in
- "paired" with first two days:
- 1:47 p.m./8:02 a.m. – Phil Mickelson, Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; Shane Lowry, Republic of Ireland; Louis Oosthuizen, South Africa
- why is Phil "allowed" to play?
- this is a USGA event, not a PGA event.
- Mickelson has a five-exemption following his PGA Championship win last year; this is his first of five years of that five-year exemption.
- The US Open is the only one of four major championships that Mickelson has not won. He is 51 years old -- perhaps the oldest "real" contender, and he will play this tournament until he wins or the 5-year exemption(s) run out.
LIV: I don't care for Steven A. Smith, but I have to agree with his commentary on the LIV.
NHL: first game of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight, in Colorado. Tampa Bay will be visiting.
