Real Problems

Morning kids...sometimes, I step back and witness REAL PROBLEMS that arise, rather than the problematic stuff I throw at you in and around the field of sports...the mother nature thing...the tornados throughout the center of the US...the awesome, in a bad way, power of the cold and warm winds hitting together...absolutely terrifies me...as does the lightning...beautiful, yet possibly devastating...witness the storm that hit in Arkansas...

The Pads...I must write something positive...as they were picked up by the return of CF Cam Maybin...in the years past I have thought that he was an underachiever...BUT...now, with the demise of most of the major league types on this team, he was a welcome sight to behold...and he produced!...couple that with an excellent outing by P Ian Kennedy SD had a fine day...and tied the series at 2-2 with the Nats...go figure...

As we were in debate about heading over to the Art Walk in Little Italy, we got a call to go sailing...so off we went to the bay...and had a spectacular afternoon with the Allens...as the winds were perfect...and it was a tee shirt (or less) day on the agua...it's quite the art to bob and weave though others who are doing the same...

I did not see any of the big Blazers win...and wow, it puts them up 3-1!...huge sweep at home...BUT...the news of the death of legendary coach Jack Ramsey was disheartening....89...he was the Champ PDX guy...and formed my way of coaching more than most anyone else...I even used his O way back when....got a tape from one of his disciples, Larry Steele...back then that was huge...and studied and used the 2 guard set...back when an O was actually run...

The Clips...not sure where this is going...as the owner has been outed in such a way, that I don't see any compromise...and could be the end of their run...rumors swirling about...that maybe Coach Doc Rivers may go...it's a very ugly scene...would not surprise me to see the team itself, be dissolved...it's that bad...

 Here's a deal in the high rise...as compared to owning a rancher...cleaning your rig...as we have had the Lexus detailed...you don't just pull it out of the garage and wash it up...nope...you have to be more creative...pick it up this am...am anxious to see if it is better than I used to do way back when...

Hey you, yes YOU, have a great week...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
