The Derby

Image
The Kentucky Derby ...the grand daddy of them all...no better singular horse race anywhere...my goal is to get there...well, today it's the day, kids... My choices... Sidney's Candy, Mission Impazible, and Homeboykris ....if I am close enough to bet, it's $10 across the board on all of them...special thoughts that MI will steal the race... The Padres win again!  2 straight over the Hoffman led Brewers ...we have tonight's game...5:35...remain in first place...take that scribes... NBA ... Lakers knock off the press's love the Thunder (Supersonics)...and the Jazz upset the other press love, the Mavs ...pity to the Blazers who muddled thru their loss to the Suns...this is the longest playoff season in the history of pro hoops ... Did you follow your pro golf?  Your Tiger played like you or I, with a 43 on the back and is bumped out of it... In my overview of our trip up north... met great friends and had a blast...the house is ready to go...we have very con...

Winding Down

As we are winding up our stay in the Rose capital of the world , we have got our stuff all ready... house has been spruced , yard is perfect , roof is cleaned and treated ...prepared for back on the market ... $339,000 ...in SD, a million 2 ...it is what it is...ah, the spring time... breathes life back in the wetlands and the optimism resurfaces... I have to say I was shocked at the voters in Idol ...the screamer was booted and it's a shame as the kid and big Mike have got enough voters to keep them out of the bottom...can't see it, as they have no future ...She-Bang does...and, Goldilocks was in the bottom 2...oh well, there are a bunch of people that love to cast their opinion...I don't so I just comment... The Padres won their 4th straight series and remain atop the west...it's different guys each time....as well as the solid efforts of the bull pen...really looking forward to the crowds this weekend at home...we have Saturday nite...cuz...we are in the B...

Punish Him

No, not him...but the GM from the NFL Dolphins ... Jeff Ireland , who has gone way overboard...in the intrusion clause of it's league ...the inexcusable interrogation of one of their prospective draftees...a question of whether his mother was a prostitute ...has absolutely no bearing on what this player's ability is...now I know there are players of concern, but this went over the line...and the GM deserves a fine and censure ...hey Cheney, what about waterboarding? The Padres continue their solid play in winning game two in Fla... speaking of Florida, I guess ... LA (not in Fla), ripped on the upstart OCity (Supersonics)... guess this loooooong series goes seven...boooooring.... And the Blazers host the Suns in game 6..... loooong and booooring .... Rained again ...duh... expecting t-storms ...

The Rain Belt

This was our team in the SAY golf tourney as we reacted to one of our boys attempt at a putt...finished 10 under in a driving rain and wind storm ...and still didn't win...and it is the rain belt, folks...sidelight here...this was a fundraiser for the Salem/Keizer high school golf programs , and not all high schools worked it very hard... McNary did... What's been going on as we have been in the "back in Orygun" tour?  The Padres got to eight in their win streak, and finally got dumped by Cincy ...The Blazers won one and lost the other in their elongated playoff with the Suns ... my gravy, there are a lot of jerks in the NBA ... DWTS , Len, the Judge , was a horses's ass the whole night, and ruined the show ... Kate was gone and that was good ... Finally, it's hard to believe the values here in the Willamette Valley ...and the people here are cynical about it all...plop these homes down in SD and it would net 4 or 5 times the amount... honest I...
