Please Mr. Postman

The recent passing of Gladys Horton made me reminisce...I lurved the sound of the gurl groups way back when I was but a mere child...she was the leader of the Marvellettes..."Please Mr. Postman","Don't Mess With Bill", and my fav, "Beechwood 45789"....and it reminded me of others...

Like the Crystals..."Da Doo Run Run","The He Kissed Me", and my fav, "He's a Rebel"...

Like the Shirelles...so many hits..."Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "Dedicate To The One I Love", "Soldier Boy", "Mama Said", and my fav, "Baby It's You"...

Like the Chiffons..."He's So Fine", "Sweet Talking Guy", and my fav, "One Fine Day"...

Like the Orlons...well, they did have a token guy with them..."The Wah Watusi", "South Street", "Not Me", and my fav, "Don't Hang Up"....

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas..."Dancing In The Street", "Nowhere To Run", "Jimmy Mack", and my fav, "Heat Wave"...

The Supremes...of course, they were the stars of the era, with Diana Ross...who we saw at Humphrey's last season..."Baby Love", "Come See About Me","Stop, In The Name Of Love", and my fav, "You Can't Hurry Love"...

The Shangri-las..."Remember (Walking in the Sand)", "Give Him A Great Big Kiss", and my fav, the classic, "Leader Of The Pack"...

The Ronettes..."Breaking Up", "Baby, I Love You", and my fav, "Be My Baby"...

So most of you have no clue to most of these groups or songs...who did I leave out?  Look 'em up and try 'em out...you"ll be surprised how great they were...

Out at the Farmer's...Tiger was 3 under on the easy course, Lefty was 5 under on the tough one...a South Korean is leading at 9 under... Cris flies in the pm and we get out there tomorrow...look for us, we will be in matching purple suspenders...

Ah, of course we could go on forever on this one. Great selections! Without looking any up I can think of The Dixie Cups, Goin to the Chapel. I really liked a gal who wasn't in a girl group but sounded like it: Barbara Lewis.
Hello Stranger, Baby I'm yours, and The one who really Loves You.
Mary Wells also.

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
