Trust me, having a urinal is one of the greatest things a man can do when updating his bathroom. We put one in during our remodel in Portland in 2001, and loved it so much we had one with an auto flush installed in our Palm Springs remodel last year. Just a "man" thing you say? Not at all! The ladies of the house will love it too, since a urinal guarantees toilet seats will always be down!

Russ and Ciara have a couple small kids. Kids wait until the last minute before finding a bathroom. The house is so large they need all those bathrooms so there is always one nearby when the kids need them so they don't have go clear across the house to take care of business.

I take these “news” items with a ho hum. For now I will enjoy shows such as Celebrity redos. On HGTV a celebrity has a friends/or someone that has gone out of their way with kindness and has it remodeled.(with their aproval) and picks up the bill. Now that celebrity news I like.

“Neither give me riches nor give me poverty. Just give me my daily bread”. That’s what I think when I see articles like this. The average American can’t even fathom a 25 million dollar house let alone with one that has 12 bathrooms. But good for them I guess.

Knowing Russell’s philanthropic past, I’m sure he will utilize the house in some way to perform good works in the community.

Today's CBS News in contrast: Bismack Biyombo will donate his $1.3M NBA salary from the Phoenix Suns to build a hospital for poor people in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He had donated nearly $1M worth of medical equipment there in 2020 but felt that he could help more. His philanthropy parallels that of Liverpool's soccer player, Sadio Mane. Both are motivated to honor their deceased. fathers.

I know I'm a Trojan fan and all, but I have it on good authority that Lincoln Riley is turning his mansion into an orphanage for refugee children and is using his massive kitchen to feed the homeless every Sunday. Amazing...
