Black Friday

I'm thinking there is little reason to get caught up in the mess of "Black Friday"...due to the invention of online shopping...which is exactly the origin of the term...back in Philadelphia by the cops there...referring to the amount of foot and car traffic that totally clogged up the city...mid 60's...then, it got sucked up by the media and it emerged as a new motto for businesses actually making money right after Thanksgiving, with the "sales" and crazy opening hours used...me?...I would go for the free donuts and coffee...but, not now...there are plenty of great deals online...unless...you have to get out there...

Did you get your fill of football yesterday?  I didn't get to see the Pack/Lion game...as I thought that Detroit would get the upset...but...the Lions imploded, their Oregonian tackle got thrown out for a stupid act, the replacement RB got injured, and the team had way too many turnovers...to beat the Packers...by the way, Detroit is on a free fall... worse than the Bolts...the Cowboys found enough to win at the buzzer...in the Har-bowl....the elder beat the youngin'....kind of boooorrring....and talk about bad luck, Texas A & M, lost another game in the final stanza...after scoring the go ahead TD with just a couple of minutes left...albeit to a horrible call that favored the Longhorns...boo...

How was your turkey?  We went to Ruth's Chris....packed in like sardines...the meal was marginal (rolled turkey)...the service was great...the view awesome...there were no dishes to wash...there was no mess to clean up...all in all, a push...well, favors go to the restaurant...should have had the rib eye...missed our boy and his gurl...

Does Costco celebrate BF?  We are thinking about heading over there...maybe a huge mistake...maybe participate, not celebrate...and get this...our gift to each other, is that we are going to have the condo painted...right now it is stark, clean white...it will be a major change...and we already have started to question each other's sanity...connecting on the right colors may be a test on our marriage skills...

Christmas decorations today, and, well...it's that time of year...

BREAKING NEWS...Lamar Odom, a LA Laker forward...who recently married Khloe...and is still hitched...not the other one...is reportedly signing to a hoop contract with the Besiktas Team in Turkey, in this non-season of the NBA...the rumor is that there is going to be a new E Show...the Kardashians Feast In Turkey...

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...
