A Good Sign

It took a grand Chris Young outing to make the season a bit brighter for the Padres. Nearly half as many faithful(?) showed up to Petco after the opening day debacle. Yet for every negative that I wrote about, they were a positive today...Kooz and Headley looked to be what I thought they would be...and, Heath Bell!!! 3 K's...that's what I'm talking about!
Now that I am in the great northwest for a bit, I have to put up with a 4 page sports section. Yes, you heard me right! 4 pages!!! The Statesman Journal appears to be no more than a community rag in the wee country...
I have not talked much about the rest of the MLB...but I love the demise of the Yankees...what's with the start of the Phillies? the Mets are the real deal...nobody is going to touch the Red Sox this year...just early thoughts.
The Masters. No better drama in golf. Starts tomorrow and I watch it all...
And finally, the Blazers came back from nowhere to upend Memphis in a must win...keep it going PDX...
Where's the sun?

Welcome back Pete and Marsha to the soggy Northwest. Home to moss in your yard, on your roof and between your toes. You just missed two of the nicest days we'll have in probably a month. But, look around, breath in the fresh smell of daphne blooming or the sweet and sour fragrance fo Cottonwoods opening thier leaves. Daffodiles and cherry blossoms on every corner. Lawns are turning deep green and their is an anticipation in the air. Ok I'd rather live in San Diego

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

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...

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......
