Morning kids...and the fog has lifted...in me head and on the streets ...got to occupy my time with many games last eve...like a dream...and, of course, have some immediate conclusions... NFL ... the Colts beat Tennessee...what's with that weather?...I thought it was a balmy place...never been there, but want to go...maybe this next year...how in the hell did Indy get clobbered by the Rams last week?...go figure...this was a good game...as both teams had their moments...and the Colts got the W... Georgia Tech runs the triple option...enough said...as I turned this yawner off, it was a blow out for Clemson ...by the way, the Tiger fans may be as rabid as the Duck ones...it is an experience...cool for them... Arizona whupped SDSU...not that the Aztecs aren't that good...they are very athletic....and will win their share... BUT ...the Wildcats are fine, super fine... led by the highly successful Sean Miller ...who must be a genius at recruiting...as he has all the pa...

Your Perception

Image
Some times we get bogged down by the little things...in life...and make much too much of them...like waiting for the channel to return from a commercial...which seems to last like forever...instead of using that space and go rinse out a glass...which is half full, or half empty? ...how do YOU perceive things?...do you go round the day thinking that there is not enough time to complete all your tasks...or do you feel like you got a lot of things done for this one....and feel satisfied...and that's the key... YOUR LEVEL OF SATISFACTION ...can you make more money?...can you own more toys?...can you have a bigger condo?...can you have a better view?...can you have a newer car?...can you have a head of darker hair?...can your mate treat you better?...can you get a better mate?...ha ha...you see where I am going with this...calm down, people...relax and enjoy what you have...it's pretty dang good...not that you shouldn't set goals to advance, but get real... I like to listen ...

Shhhh

It's a SILENT AUCTION ...hey kids...once in a great while we get out to some cool evenings...last night was one of them...invited by Debi Neuman , one of  Marsha's bosses...to attend the party of parties to honor the best businesses of the Gaslamp Quarter ...called the 2013 Lamplighter Awards ...held on 11/12/13 ...what?... food, drink, socializing, mermaids ...what?...it was held at the top of the Andaz ...and we bid on a few items that were intriguing...and won two...a very cool package stay at the Hard Rock ...who says we don' fit?...and a golf package out at Steele Canyon ...dang, took a stogie and didn't light it up at the Lamplighter...didn't lite it up... Is it not way too soon to start up the collegiate hoop season? ...I mean the football games are like 5 to go...I don't remember such an overlap...anyway...the top teams played each other...I think they were in Chi-town...and the way the teams are made up anymore...most of the bigs are one and done....

Veteran's Day

Image
If there is a day that is truly needed in this country, it is this one... Veteran's Day ...as the people honor those who served...in the military...regardless of how you feel the congressional blokes and blokettes muddled up the world...the guys and gals who carried out the orders are the heroes that are to be honored...it is a huge deal down here in SD...as there are many bases and camps in the area...I suppose no bigger than Camp Pendleton...yes, it is a big thing...and Crazy Horse gives as much credence as he can to those who have put on the uniform... congratulations and thank you!... And to the less mundane things ...that I talk about... The Bolts lose to the Broncos...as expected...and did make a game of it...sort of...part of the problem is the lack of aggression and play calling in the red zone...you know, that thing that the SDSU Aztecs are very aware of...ha ha...in this one, settling for FG's rather than much needed TD's...oh well, it is what it is... 2007....

Still Cruisin"

After all these years...hey, my dream was always the rag top Chevy...'57 ... candy apple red ...I had a '57 Ford ...4 door...I did NOT COMPLAIN ...it was wheels and it got me here and there...eventually traded it for a ' 56 Olds ...with a power everything in it...even a more advanced  Power Bar ...to switch the radio channels...now one calls that a scan button...roll top leather (?) seats...got about 7 miles to the gallon...thus my prob...even though I would buy it at 27 cents, it seemed like a lot...compare that to $4 a gallon now...ah, them good old days...I just can't remember if it was 2 or 4 door... BUT...I wish I had it today ...looked exactly like this... And that is also what the Tide did to LSU...cruised by 'em...and showed the country that they are, indeed, the top team in the land...just too big...and too fast...and too everything...and the race?...for the team to take them on...is on...and the case will be made for FSU, Ohio St, Baylor...amongst o...
