Christmas in the Quarter

So we got in the mood and went to see the 4 Christmases. Kinda cool. Not the best movie but will definitely get you thinking about the season and how family affects us all.
There is a Christmas Doggie Parade on Sunday here in the Quarter (forever Q in my blog). And yes, Sammi will be strutting her stuff!
We just had the Christmas party for the Prudential last night and I was the escort that everyone wanted to know about. Just kidding about that.
Watched the Blazers on the tube last night versus the Jazz. Remember a bit back I listed some of the quality coaches in the NBA? I left out Jerry Sloan and he is deserved for sure. He chewed up PDX and spit them out. Portland is still on the outside looking in. Got to get more out of the middle and figure out how to handle double teams.
SDS listed their top 3 candidates for the football job. The group consists of Dennis Franchione(Texas A&M), DeWayne Walker (UCLA), and Brady Hoke (Ball State). Gotta think Franchione will be the one, part for financial reasons, and part for his rep of resurrecting programs.
Finally more stuff on the Peavy situation. They can't pay him. His new contract doesn't start until April and they are OK until then. Unless the Moore's part of the team is sold, look to see Peavy moved. Sad day here in the Q.
It's supposed to rain here the next 5 days...enjoy your snow northwest!

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
