The Weekend

Image
Have you heard the latest?  Probably from the right...that Prez O is going to change VP's in the next election...going with Hillary in lieu of Joe ...I can call him Joe can't I?  First of all, Ms. Clinton is doing a splendid job as Attorney General...and what has Joe been doing wrong?  Naw, it's a conservative plot to provide unrest...see what I mean?  I have just gone dumb...as my good fellow, Snooki, corrected me...she is the Secretary of State... Walking around with this blonde hair. ..don't know how you can do it...I'm feeling a lot dumber...laughing a lot at silly statements...find myself throwing my head back and forth...assuming everyone is looking at me... I just reread this...I suppose you could say I wrote it about Hillary ...no, it's me, folks ...and nobody says folks anymore...see...it's just dingy stuff... Brett Farve ...who cares what he was doing...and why the NFL cares? As we approach our 63rd birthday ...wait, this is a solo effor...

Giants win

Image
This is really mighty might....the Giant's Tim Lincecum ...led SF over Atlanta...1-0...Padres type score...fanned 14... woooah ... Saw just enough of the games the last two days to say that instant replay should be used...duh... I am wondering if I should reinvest in season tix ... Here are my pix...by the way... KSU did not cover the points yesterday... good thing I wasn't in Vegas ... Oregon over WSU...by huge amount...the spread is 36... OSU over Arizona...dogs by 7 1/2...keep the Beavs off my back... Stanford over USC...blow out...smiley face... Florida over LSU...does the Bengal Tiger coach get more crap about him? SDS over BYU...for real or forget... New Mexico St . over New Mexico...could be the worst football state in the US of A... Michigan over MSU...scribes go the other way... Alabama over USC (the other one)...closer than you think... Washington over ASU...bye bye Dennis... Boise St . over Toledo...need a for sure win... Overall, 16-4 ... A...

Octoberfest

Image
Did I tell you about the Octoberfest we went to in La Mesa ?  So different from the one in Mt. Angel ...many more booths of stuff...but the beer garden a far cry from the Oregon one...we drove this time, but last year we took the trolley...the chicken dance...well...it's not quite Dancing With The Stars...is it... As we prepare for our trip to Maui , we are investing in wicking shirts and stuff like that...found a store that is so cool...Letravel Shop.... has everything you could want to travel with...check it out, before you come down here and stay with us in God's country... Speaking of that, have you watched your TIVO'd Glee yet? And there is a lot of chatter about the bullying aspect towards the gay community throughout the country...so needed... I am liking "Boardwalk Empire" more and more...HBO... Yes, I did catch the last 3 innings of the no-hitter thrown by Halladay   of the Phillies ...great accomplishment... All my younger golf buddies are i...

Rain!

Image
And you Orygonians think you get all the weather...we've had T-storms, cool temps, and now...dread it...rain...well, the SD peops call it that...the Norwesters would label it showers...whatever...it's on the ground and puts off my golf...and I don't like it... I have not commented about the show "Glee" before...it is...the best on the tube...I'm including HBO and Showtime...it's that good...the episode last night on religion was so well written and acted... YOU MUST WATCH!  The morning cup of Joe...we have this coffee grinder and dripper...so, we try all different types...I just can't find anything better than Starbuck's French Roast ...do you have anything to surpass this? Let's see, it's hump day ...just what does that mean? Oops, I forgot about the baseball playoffs , that start today... bah humbug ... I am not a witch...

Politicians

Image
Are you getting the tv bombarding of negative ads for the local races?  It's a crime ...take the amount of money that these yeahoos spend on getting elected and do something good with it...in Cali, the republican candidate for governor, Meg Whitman , has spent over $100 million...really...supposedly, most of it hers...follow the money trail on all these people and well...it's always the lobbyists that filter the dough in... it's a crime, I tell you ... The Padres ...the off season...and the GM Jed Hoyer....the article in the Trib says there is to be major changes in the the so called offense...hey, here it is again...follow the money...hard to change a lot, if there is little cash flow... DWTS ...somewhere along the line, people forget how hard what these pseudo-stars are doing... The Ducks ...the country got the hype on the Stanford game...and the winner got the benefit...in fact, jumped right passed Boise St (where is that state?) in the AP rankings...WSU next...toug...

Blue Monday

Image
I'm talking  "Blue Monday" for the color of Europe , in their stunning win in the Ryder Cup ...the US of A made it real interesting during the singles...got down to Graeme McDowell vs Hunter Mahan ...Mahan hit some chokers and it was Europe ! SF finally got their win against SD ...I'm talking the Giants ...unfortunately, the Pads scored zero ... again ...and finished out of the money...a lot of talk about the season....how they overachieved... balderdash ...the management did not do their job...where SF made major adjustments to their squad...like their biggest addition, the Phils Pat Burrell ....we settled for 2 in SS Tejada and OF Ludwick ...here's my take...it slowed us up a lot.... Tejada solidified us ... Ludwick was a huge blunder ...hurt us offensively with lack of speed, pop, and productivity...and his D was far inferior to what we already had....just being honest... kudos to the pitching, however ... The off season ...I'm sure that Adrian...

Terrific Saturday

Image
What a huge day for a lot of my favorite teams.... Who'd a thunk the weekend the Bud Black led Padres have had...I know it's not over...but the potential is there...beat SF again...and now, another must win... Matt Latos goes and well, it's sweaty palms once more... The Ducks. ..what a marvelous comeback...there is no team faster in the land...with all the hype on the Card's Luck ...there are more weapons in Eugene...and what's with that weather?  Totally terrific ... Overall, I was 8-2 on my pix again (16-4 overall)...what a goofy end to the Tennesee/ LSU ...it was over and the Vols won...oops, too many players on D...replay the last play...and the Tigers score and win... BYU loses again and then they fire the defensive coach...a typical method of operandi for that school and...well, you know what I mean...boo...you live in that world, you lucky people... The Beavers beat the Sun Devils...can't figure this group out...but, great on OSU...makes a bi...
