Let it be known the class of LA is not the Lake Show ...it's the Clips ...as they have their blokes back...and beat up on the Kobe guys quite convincingly...by 25...and it was a Laker home game...tough to swallow KB?...good news for PDX , as that's who they need to beat to get to the playoffs... This is short, as we are getting ready to head on out to Cimarron Boulder GC for a round... 84* yesterday...laid in the sun...supposed to be similar today... NICE!

Happy Valentine's Day

Good morning kids, from the beautiful desert ... Indian Wells ...it was 78* yesterday, today, and on and on...the place we are staying is gorgeous...manicured grounds...2 pools, and 2 spas...agenda includes some shopping, eating, massages, golfing...laying in the sun...sounds almost like a cruise...wait, that boat is adrift...this one is on land...so far, 5 stars ... Miramonte ... Did you see the new Survivor?...looks to be a good one... The Clips eased up on the Rockets... Play the Lake Show tonight... Dorner be gone... The gals in Idol appeared to be dreadful... Wrote the lyrics on their hands and arms... Airlines mergers are not good for consumers... Had the worst Chinese food ever last eve...Yelp!?... CSU won at home again...beat the Aztecs... Did the Ducks beat the Huskies?...were ahead... Well, time to get rolling...breakfast, shopping, and massages...laying in the sun...tuff day... Have a great Valentine's Day , kids...

Spring Training

Image
Wooah, it's time for pitchers and catchers to report to... SPRING TRAINING! ...yup, MLB is starting to crank it all up again...it's my fav time of the year...and yup, the Padres are full of optimism...yet again...well...not a lot of movement, other than the fences...with hope that the pitchers that had surgery can help by June...geez...and good lord...our catching issue...with Grandal out for 50 games due to the use of garbage...so we have the tandem of Baker (not bad) and Hundley , a disaster last season...I have my doubts...BUT...let's see what happens in Peoria and cross our fingers... NBA ... PDX led most of the way, yet got blitzed in the end in Miami... Kobe scored 4 points in a win at home...did not see the game, but I bet he was a ball of joy...and Utah won at home, hosting the Thunder...the only place they can win...but, boy do they there...must be the salt in the air... Manhunt ...as the media got it's fill...as he was spotted and it all came to...

Mardi Gras, SD Style

Image
Phat Tuesday in the Gaslamp Quarter ...we get passes...reserve a table on 5th... Al Aqua 2 ...have dinner, drinks, and watch the crazies go by...it's a big deal here...our "normal" group that goes...pictures coming later on... Mardi Gras! The Bachelor ...kicked off the right one...as the villain was finally given her walking papers...I suppose most of the viewers were way happy on this...most of them types in the past, either won, or finished in the top group...oops, I am type casting...shame on me... The Clips are back at it...toying with the 76ers in Philly...clobbered them without mercy...until the reserves took over in the entire 4th stanza...just shows what they can do when healthy...CPIII is the best at what he does...run the team... North Korea is stretching the limits of what the rest of the world will put up with...by testing another nuclear bomb (their reported 3rd)...and make it extremely dangerous for all...it will take a united front of all mankind t...

Grammy Awards

Image
Doing their best to avoid another "nipplegate" on their network, CBS gave a memorandum to the attendees to cover themselves up...ha ha...to make the Grammy Awards a classy affair...well...most of them got the message...but...hey, these are the folks who are way out there...maybe it's time that FOX takes this over...my take on it all... Carrie , not only proved that she is the best singer and performer out there, but she is the top innovator...with a dress that changed color and design as she sang... Justin Timberlake ...what?...thinks he is what?...marginal voice...I don't get it...never have, never will... Kelly Clarkson ...great she won for "Stronger"...belted out a pair of winners...hell of a voice... Miranda Lambert ...off tune...but...she really isn't a ballad type...and prob shouldn't be wearing the short skirt...I'm just saying... Taylor Swift ...???...OK, she is the teen sensation...def not country...and eventually will have to fi...

1 and Done

You trying to follow the D-1 hoops season? ...I bash the over-rated Ducks ...but...the fact is there is a bunch of average teams out there...ranked quite highly...and then they get whupped by some nobodies and the fans rush the floor with exuberation...geez, is that even a word?...if not, it should be...you know I think the best teams are in the Big 10...or whatever Ohio St , Michigan , and Indiana are in...here's the deal...the best young talent play in college for only one year before they can be drafted into the pros... 1 and done ...so, it's hard to get any rhythm going for those blokes left behind...so hard to recruit...knowing that the best guys are gone after but one season...so... who are the best left over teams?...the aforementioned 3...and... Miami . .. Duke ... Gonzaga ...well...the list goes on and on...some call it parity...I call it mediocrity... Grammy Awards ...another set of statues for the needy ...ha ha...it does grab my interest because I consider m...
