CRAZY HORSE

Well, we may have partied a bit too much last eve...enough to cancel my tee time...and spend the day watching the tube, er, flat screen...took the trolley (train) to Old Town...had a great Mexican Meal...and 4 pitchers of margaritas...then hit the GSC for a night cap....well, almost...then went up to the MMansion and had one more...how old are we?... So you consider yourself bright, right?...and yet, nobody, no one, zero of you, have any clue to why the stock market fluctuates so much...oh yea, I hear the other markets affect it...sure...which ones?...right...and the indicators keep rising...I just don't get it...I fear it's them blokes that have all the money, who call all the lobbyist's shots are calling the Dow Jones shots, too...grrr.... I don't know...but now that the Ducks are out of it, I don't care as much as I did...just a few days ago...I hope that the team doesn't get in this mode, too...anyway, I have LSU upsetting the Tide...imagine if the ...

And there it goes...as Bobby Flay would use... "a smack down". ..as the Stanford Cardinal dominated the Oregon Ducks ...completely dominating both lines ...and thus the game...they had little problem in knocking off the number 2 team in the land...of course, there were the gnawing things of missed passes, the predictability of the SC O, and the crucial calls that went the other way, and NOT scoring first...regardless... the better team won ...and I am afraid, out the window goes the notion that Marrioti is the best player in the land ...not to be that much a downer, but there is a bunch of games left... recoup, Ducks ... Old School versus New School ...innovation is a big thing in this sport...and how the fast break O is fun to watch... BUT ... if you have bigger and stronger folk, it still seems that you will win ...just look at 'Bama...that is what they are like...by the way...another team, like Oregon, is the Baylor Bears ...who were all over Oklahoma last eve....

This is the GAME of the season... the University of Oregon traveling to Palo Alto, to take on the host Stanford Cardinal ...new school versus old school...football...tonight...nationally aired...number 2 and number 5 duking it out...speed vs strength... in GOOD weather ...I know the GPN has been hit with the wet stuff...the line?...UO by 10 1/2...CH take?...too many points...I have this like 42-35...something like that...of course, I am NEVER right...we were there 2 years ago in a similar situation...and the Ducks had a field day...last year?...Stanford stunned in Eugene... good stuff, my friends... CMA's ...the hosts, Brad and Carrie, were great ...the winners?...it seems like some producers say it's time to get some new blood in the top spots...Florida Georgia Line...or something like that vaulted up...???...and please, Miranda is cute and all...but there are far better singers than she...oh well...the kids in the know, like her...and her boy toy, BS...who can sing...B...

Some of you out there are NOT country music followers ...shame on you... it's a true and forceful collaboration of sounds, lyrics, melodies, and catchy fun ...with many of the "stars" in the biz, now crossover hit makers...it is the best going...with the likes of Taylor, Miranda, Tim, Faith, Sara, and on and on....couple that with recent studs and studettes, Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Dolly, Lynn,...shoot, the list goes on and on...anyway...the country music industry honors their best... the CMA's ... hosted by the highly entertaining duo of Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood ...I think for the 6th time ... as their wit and charm take over the program ...as you know, I am always in bewilderment about the voting process...in all awards programs... BUT ...that is not the idea driven here...the show itself is great fun...with the newer stars performing their hits... LIVE ...not lip-synced....it's on tonight at 8 on ABC...I think that time is right...dig it... PBS ...

Top of the morning to you, kids...it was a grand Monday ...and today will be better!...yes, indeedy....somehow I avoided the entire NFL Monday niter...?...and so it goes... The layers involved in the purchase of the NBA League Pass ...which is offering an early bird price of $189 for the entire season...is extraordinary...the way I sees it...this is through my TV provider, COX ...you may have others, like DirectTV, or Comcast...or?...you can order online, or by phone, or by the "chat" feature...well...I first tried online...and found that it would cost me an additional $50 deposit for that convenience...crapola on that...called the bloody agent...and she was right on... UNTIL ...I asked her if I was able to watch the Package on my Apple TV if I bought it through COX...she said NO...I paused...more info needed...so I tried the "chat" on my online COX account....voila!...the person there assured me that I could activate the League Pass... ANYWHERE ...once I purchas...

I'm not sure all my items necessarily follow the heading of "Goofy" , but they dang might...as I got me selves up early...due to this crazy change of the clocks...I lay in bed thinking about what I am going to write about...a query I had this weekend... "You write every day?" ...pretty much...as there are loads of important things that happen each and every day...and they twitter my brain...which is a good thing...and then...you will read it..ha ha...anyway... The finish line...I have loads of frustration...like a Daffy Duck thinger ...when I watch the Bolts play...especially when they have more talent than their opponent...like the ___skins...I had to bolt (sorry) and get the missus...go to the grocery store...and stock up...while the 2nd half of the game was going on....and everywhere I went, people were asking what the score was....as I was wearing my Charger Tee...like I would know...got home...and watched the fiasco unfurl... the inept play calling fro...

Missed by that much! ( Maxwell Smart )...there was a carryover in the Pick 5 ...and by race time the amount had risen to over $7 million bucks ...really...of course we gave it a go...and...I hit the first 3 races...which I did win in the Pick 3 (which carried me the entire day). ..very nice...and in the 4th, my hoss was way last and made a heart stopping crazy close...and get beat by a nose...photo finish...a 12-1 shot...and, of course, my pick won the 5th...would have been in the 6 figures...yes...I was screaming...hit 4 of 5...eegads...all this fun at the off-track Breeder's Cup ... my friend Andy invited me ...it was a blast...ended up winning $ over all...by the way, he made crazy $$$... Florida St cruised by Miami ... and does look like a real title contender ...and I figure that's the way the BSBCS will see it...move them by the Ducks for this week...until... UO takes on Stanford in Palo Alto this upcoming Thursday...and if...and only if (iff, math terms) the Ducke...
