The Beach Boys

Picture yourself this...at a table, directly in front of the stage, a plate of nachos, brewskies, a bottle of wine for the ladies, and an hour and half of non-stop Beach Boy's songs...yup, at the Del Mar Fair...packed house, over 10,000 delirious fans...and it was grrrreeeaaaat...Mike Love's son and daughter are becoming more and more of the show...kudos to my Salem buddy, Rick Ward, for getting us the best possible parking, golf cart ride to the gate, then a tour of the humongous fair grounds....not to mention the 2 minute exit from the park...doesn't get any better than that...

The Padres...unbelievable...a sweep...now, I know it's the Royals...but still...not that the banged the ball all over Petco, but just enough to get the job done...7 of 8 and the folks are thinking, well...just maybe...climb out of the cellar...more chatter about Ludwig and Bell departing...I fear the Phillies are the most interested, especially in Heath...

Tiger...hey, I know exactly what he is going through...I have a bum achilles, too...and rest is the only option...there's no way he could walk 18 holes one day, let alone 4...I'll be surprised if he plays at all the rest of the season..

You know my theory, if there are a boat load of candidates, it'll be a long season for the...republicans...

NBA lockout news...here's the deal...22 out of the 30 teams are losing money...duh, the players are being over paid...duh, the owners charge way too much for what they produce...and the owners want revenue sharing with the fat cats...it's hard to side with the players...am I a union basher?  Naw, it's just the time that the players and owners get real...real real...quit charging so much, quit paying the players so much, and forget about making the exorbitant amount of cash from the john q public...

As we prepare for our annual trip to Florida...is there any way to beat what we can find at Ron Jon's?  I doubt it...it is but a block away from our condo in Cocoa Beach...boogie boarding?  Oh yea...jet boating the swamp for gators?  Oh yea...Waffle house?  Oh yea...Getting Fla tan?  Oh yea...hey it's just a short jaunt away from Cape Kennedy, or is that Cape Canaveral?  Just a different world, kids...if you haven't gone, you've got no idea...

OK, house keeper day...nope, no Arnold here...lots of errands today...

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......
