Let the games begin


Regardless of how you think they got here($), it has begun. I put my bracket in the national Around the Horn pool. I took anywhere up to 3 minutes filling it out and picked UNC as my champ. I know nothing. Is Billy Packer still on the tube. Not a fan.
The WBC final 4 is set. With my Japan upsetting Cuba (again), they qualify with Korea, USA and Venezuela as the possibles for the crown. I think both Korea and Japan are the favorites. The US of A has a severely depleted team to injuries (?) with the latest victim, 1b Kevin Youklis going down with a bum ankle...to me a very embarrassing set of circumstances for this country.
The Padres continue to get whacked in the Cactus league. Their pitching has been totally dismantled and it is very disconcerting. It is spring training, but only 4 wins is worrisome...Kyle Blanks is still lashing the ball and I have negative beliefs that the Pad's management are gonna screw this up...
One person hit the pick 6 at Santa Anita yesterday for...$657,949!!!
SDS continues it's hot streak on the diamond with another win over Kansas St. BYU brings it's group in this weekend and the fun continues...
My big picks for today: Gonzaga over Akron, W. Kentucky over Illinois, Texas over Minnesota, and Texas A & M over BYU...
Enjoy the sun...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

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...
