The Preakness

At Pimlico RT...leg 2 of 3...wait, I thought they had 4?...oops, so stupid...I know...no calls, please...as California Chrome is at it again today...the Triple Crown...it's been years since a horse has won all 3...more likely to get this one...and that's how I bet it...I do have a long shot to keep your eyes and maybe $ on...Bayern...just a hunch...but most of my cash is on Chrome...

In the aftermath of the also rans in the NBA playoffs...the top 2 of my likings are done...you know the Blazers and the Clips...PDX resigned their coach for an extension...let's hope he gets a different defensive coordinator...and LA is floundering about with the ridiculous owner situation...as that will drag on for months...can't the owners get on with it and do their vote?...or will the "time will heal all wounds" theory be used...nope...this is a crisis in waiting...

You heard of a spoke-less bicycle?...latest and greatest invention...that folds up into nothing...well, not nothing...but very small...and you CAN'T get it yet...the Washington Post did an article about it and it is quite fascinating...lurve to put that in the back of the Solara and hit the beach, huh...

Oh my, the Pads...resorted back to ugly...as they were no hit through 6 innings...by a soft throwing lefty...Mgr Buddy brilliantly put together a gaggle of righties to rip the southpaw...how'd that work?...and sat the only real hot hitter on the team...Seth Smith...eegads, at times I am looking at F Troop...you remember that silly little sitcom?...pretty much made fun of everyone...not just the Injuns...I digress...ended up losing, of course...and, well, let's be patient...

Barbra Wawa is retiring...and I must say...she was fantastic!...really?...yup...I think she was the best interviewer out there...she was THE first gal to get a chance in the field...now, every single news team has a lady at the desk, right along side the elderly bloke...very cool...Barbara Walters, I mean...

I read a column by the Orlando Sentinel sports guy, Mike Bianchi...lordy...his style is mine...I swear to you, I copy NO ONE!...but you must put him on your bookmark and follow this dude...wait...and still read me...now, he's ONLY sports...unlike me, who delves into much more fun topics...

Like the ever present K fam...who doesn't write about this?...gag...

Oh yea, I like the Heat and the Spurs to get to the finals....and I am NOT much interested...really...when you have no vested interest, it's just not the same...I'll watch, but will hope for the bizarre...

For all of you Pacific Northwesters who called (2!) and checked up on us in the fire zone...we thank you...and the winds and heat have died down...thus, the fires, too...at least three people have been arrested for arson...hmmm...and realized we have lived here 8 years now...and yesterday was the 1st for smoke in the GQ...and just as fast, it's gone...

We are going to go to breakfast at Hob Nob Hill Restaurant in Hillcrest this am...it was a feature on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives...Triple D...hosted by Guy Fieri...figure we'll have to wait in some line or something...wait, there is nothing other than a line...

You...yes YOU...have a wunnerful weekend...
