Father's Day

It used to be a time that we celebrated...as my dad had 5 of us...and then the torch was passed and I became the recipient...and I thought, think, of it as my son's day...not that he needed it, but, I was just so grateful to have a beautiful, healthy kid...and as time has gone on, I am just so proud of him...yup, you bet, it is definitely Father's Day...and it's a great day...

The Rory Experience...he just continues to amaze me as he completely dominates the field in the US Open in Maryland...don't get me wrong here, but...he has a very good swing and all...but he doesn't have the "it" factor that Tiger, Lefty, or even Sergio, possesses...nevertheless, I want him to finish it off and get the 1st of many "majors"...he hits the ball long, straight, and has no fear...and as Johnny Miller says, he's young enough to make all the little putts, too....what? 

OMG the Padres...it has become the horror flick of all time...a bit too harsh?  Mistakes, no hitting, no catching...the pitching remains solid, but...OMG, everything else...Nick Hundley tied an all time record for futility, striking out 8 consecutive times...and as the Pads were shut out again, the team record for that dubious distinction is directly on the radar screen...hey kids, it is really tough to watch...and I don't like I have in the past 3 seasons...

The Facebook phenomena...how about that for keeping in contact with people...it is such a great tool...prior to this, you just forgot about everyone...

We tried to watch some movies last night and struck out...isn't there any out there any good?  I tried Inception...what on earth was that?  I guess I'm just too shallow to keep up...

Well, I'm making scones for the Father's Day breakfast...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
