1999

Let's party like it's 1999!...the oh too groovy song by the legendary Prince...was such a hit back in the late 80's or so...the glimpse into the future...it was really rad...and this is the year, 1999, that was the LAST TIME, the New York Knickerbockers were in the NBA Finals...you guessed it, they now are gonna party like it's 1999!...as they are in!...beating the hapless Cavs, who made the humongous mistake of picking up the Beard, as their savior...a SWEEP...and await the west...who will give them the test of their season...rejoice for now, the newly band wagon pretty, rich fat cats...and those who truly have lived and died through the years with the frustrating Knicks...it's your turn...finally...party on, Garth...

Back to the ceasefire...not so much anymore...and the poopah has OUR HANDS FULL!...Memorial Day?...as he instructed OUR military to strike...the trump regime says that it was a defensive move...Iran says they will retaliate...and so it goes...hey, is Jared dealing with the Iranians?...who is in charge?...I have yet to see a direct meeting with them, and trump...

trump appears to be in questionable health...with so many rumors about him at the hospital...checking on this and that...I dunno...Walter Reed Hospital...stress is a monster...tears you up more than anything...

Texas...has their vote today...and the poopah has gambled on an endorsement of this highly dubious dude, Ken Paxton...let's see how this plays out...it is a red state, that is getting flooded (?) with more and more...non-white folk...you can only gerrymander so much...the numbers will win out...shenanigans?...of course...

Flying solo?...hate it...and tried it last eve...bellied up to a bar...at a local pub...Freddy's...if you are in town, it is the place to go...ordered a Jack and DC...and stared at my iPhone...missed the camaraderie of the Boss...yet, the bloke next to me, opened up...he was a lad from Australia...talked funny...was a musician and was touring the country...had been in NY, Nashville, Memphis, and now SD...off to LA next...who do I know from his country?...dum dum, The Bee Gees...wished him well, and got the bod back home...where I belong...

Talking music...did you know, on this date in 1967, May 26, the Beatles released their finest and most unique album of it's time...'Sgt Pepper'...I was mesmerized by the songs and the sequence...which reportedly, led Brian Wilson to try to match it for The Beach Boys...'Pet Sounds'...

Yesterday on the links, the boys were talking Friars...and that the Phillies were in town...I popped off that this one dude is outta control...hitting dingers like it's batting practice...for them...sure enough, in his first at bat, Kyle Schwarber, hit his 21st homer of the season...and that was enough to beat us...grrrr...as we are flailing with the sticks...shut out again...

A very cute story out of Montecito...our grandsons, Cy and Cas...set up a lemonade stand right at a hiking trail there...little entrepreneurs they are...made like over $40!...all these lemons are from the homestead of the parents...the sugar from Costco, I reckon...40 bucks, how many baseball cards is that?...

Peanut butter...yes, PB...I found this ball golfing yesterday...that only had PB on it...is there a fat cat roaming the Hills, that is nicknamed Peanut Butter?...hey, it is my go to lunch...at times...and there is a catch...low sodium and low sugar, only...there are those out there that are loaded with the sugar and salt...and couple that with the sugar free preserves...you have a close to perfect PB and J...

Finally, my venture into the iwatch as my GPS watch was an absolute joke...the battery went out on the 6th hole!...drains it that much...so, no...it will be a golf watch for Father's Day...any recommendations?...

RTD...Return to Democracy!
