CRAZY HORSE

Have you got your shopping done? ...there are stockings yet to fill...and yet...still Santa has nuttin for moah under our fake white tree...not that I check or anything like that...the scene to the left, reminds me of when we had a condo in Sunriver ...my escape from coaching... We had a visitation last eve of Marsh's old friend ... a Mexican exchange student ...from like 40 years ago...he, of course, is all grown up...and has a family now...and they were all here...a beautiful group...and my oh my...the old stories... there were some ugly American ones ...funny now...not then... Which made me think of Xmas's past ...with the passing of our parents and all... we just didn't appreciated them enough when they were on this earth ... if you still have yours, cherish your moments... Our "rain" came and went...most of you would chuckle at the notion of a storm...sprinkled like 4 or 5 times...not the steady, drizzly stuff...and still it is warm... One of the...

Hey, I know that many of you think that there is no Santa Clause ...somewhere down the line... somebody told you he wasn't real ...could have been your parents...could have been a mean friend...what?...that's no friend...well... I saw Santa ...and I'm sure it was the real thing... I mean he doesn't have to be heavy and jolly...does he?...and it doesn't always have to be in the snow, right?... spotted right down the way here in SD ...and I'm sure, he is REAL ... ho ho ho ... Tonight's the night, it's gonna be alright...song lyrics by whom? ...anyway, this could be the night that we hit the movie house...now...which one do we choose?...that satirical Anchorman 2 ?...I dunno....maybe the American Hustle ...maybe About Time ... PDX ran afoul....and got clobbered by the Rick Adelman's Wolves ...too many games...too few nights...and I winced when I saw the line favored Minnesota...these guys know...I don't know how they know, but they do.... ...

It's the time that I have to get serious about the Xmas thinger...and you should, too...if you are doing the online order biz, good luck...less than 7 days to get it shipped...hmmm...so, off I go to the stores...yuck...wait, that's not the holiday spirit... We are part of a Progressive Party tomorrow night...and for our part, we are 1st and are doing a flat bread pizza ...and thus, the dilemma...fresh or frozen?...off we go to Whole Foods...or we could make our own....???...got my doubts...and NOW...I have another solution...at the market at Little Italy ... Just how long do you have for a grace period after filing for divorce to start dating again? ...2 months, 6 months, or 6 minutes?...well, KK (the other one), has chosen the latter...this young lurve is so sweet... You got a thrill for winning $800 million dollars? ...yup, you MUST get a tix for the lottery...your odds are great...Mega Millions... The Clips looked dang good last night in beating the Spurs...and...

Don't get me wrong here...I am NOT a fan of the Cowboys ...and even less of their underperforming QB, Tony Romo ....who, despite his propensity for dating blondes....er, Carrie Underwood , Jessica Simpson (?), amongst others ...why is this important?...it is not in the least...it is just what some of you might be interested in...in lieu of my dig on the happenings in yesterday's game....as the the Boys blew a big lead ...and lost to the Packers ...in Dallas...not that that is not a major deal...as this is what they do in December...ha ha... BUT ...it is how they did it this time...all they had to do was kill the clock by running the ball... YET ...they tried to trick the Pack , by passing on a fake run...which led to more than enough time for GB to get the ball back...and eventually march down the field and win... OK, you get my intro ...so after the game...of course, there are some upset Cowboys...and when the coach is in the forced interview room...he did something that as...

If you are a Blazer fan , you got your happy pill sent your way last night...as they cruised to a 30+ win at Philly ...with precise passing, great shooting, and solid defense, they went into the 130+ point range...what?...led by LaMarcus Aldridge ...ridiculous amount of made 3 balls...by everyone!...just a super effort...er, how does that fit into your gut, Chuck?... The Ducks are undefeated ...wait... we are talking hoops here ...as they beat a very game and huge Illinois squad...up in PDX at the now named Mocha Center , er. something like that...not as warmly nicknamed as the Rose Garden... On those same lines...where I am a member at.... Sycuan .. .used to be called "Singing Hills" ...a much more lyrical nomenclature....don't you think?... Anyway, I started my round with 3 doubles and 2 triples ... NOT ...a baseball game...thus, this was way bad...after a 45 minute frost delay...what?....in El Cajon...within and hour it was 75*...er, definitely NOT my score.....
