As I was growing up, there was this team, that just couldn't get a win ...in MLB...23 straight losses...the Philadelphia Phillies...'61...when I was collecting baseball cards...Johnny Callison, Don Demeter, Dallas Green, Robin Roberts...and on and on...the team only won 47 the entire season...the legendary Gene Mauch was the skipper...so kids, it could happen to the best...

Which leads me to the present day Mariners...yup, Seattle...working on a 17 gamer...and is there a break in the streak coming up?  Geez, and they have pretty good pitching...but they are running through Boston and NY...keep the faith M's...you won't top the 23 list...no way...

Hey, the Pads can't put together a streak like that...but they looked like a loser last night getting shut out by the lowly DBacks at SD...another shut out...OMG...

The lock out is over in the NFL...and the next 2 weeks will be filled with moves and trades...for you Charger fans...it looks like Vincent Jackson is going nowhere...great news, kids...he's a great one..

Off to Sycuan...

oops...I turned it off before I went to sleep...duh...and the Pads scored a run...6-1 loss....and...the M's won today behind Felix and are now on a one game winning streak...and...I won all the $ in golf 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......
