U S Open

Par is good...for this event...the 2014 version of the US Open...as you know I'm in a group that tries to predict the eventual winner...and I have won two of the 3 events thus far...hmmm...and this time, I went out of the country....what?...you want Lefty...and if you listen to him, you'd think it was his already...not so fast my friends...you need blokes who plod around the course...and keep the ball in play...and putt lights out...you like the young sensation Spieth?...maybe...but I went for some others...settled on McIlroy, Rose, McDowell, Kaymer...and my long shot?...Matsuyama...another youngin with a great short game...

Game number 4 of the NBA finals...each game is different...the changes that Pop made to his Spurs...nothing more than brilliant...having his number 3 and 4 guys attack the hoop...and the Heat were lost...and did lose...with the incredible record of non back to back losses, Miami must be favored tonight...so who does what?...LeBron must dominate early...if not, well that streak of their's will be in doubt...and they don't want to go back to SA down 3-1...I have massaged it enough, Miami in a thriller...

The inept Pads continue on...being shut out yet again in Philly...a team itself that has been turrible...but not when SD arrives...we have blokes on our team that no one else would play...imagine the number 4 hitter...the "clean up guy", batting under the Mendoza Line...and with very little pop in his bat...I have to tell you about another defensive gem...Philly at bat...Rollins at first...Howard up, so the Pads have a shift on...with 3B Headley behind 2B...Rollins steals...the throw goes to Headley...safe...and then he nonchalantly tosses the ball back to the P...wait!...we have no one on 3rd...off goes Rollins to 3rd....as the lumberjack Headley tries to beat him there...brilliant...lack of preparation my friends...or awareness...

Reminds me of when I was coaching Jr High football...and we were making this big comeback...and if we were successful on an onsides kick we may get the win...I tell our kicker to do so...and bam...he comes up and barely hits the ball off the tee...and then falls on it...I assumed, get that, I ASSUMED he knew what I meant...all I could do was smile...it was my fault...and for thereafter called it a difflefanger....can't remember how the name came about...but it stuck...so Manager Black, maybe YOU can take responsibility for the error by Headley...ha ha...try Headleyfanger...

Last night at a big time realtor function, a fund raiser for something...eegads, I should know...there was a 50-50 split drawing...and the amount was about half of $1850...around there...and at the waning moments of the suspenseful drawing...we switched one of our tix to another couple for one of theirs...you KNOW where I am going with this....that TICKET that we switched away was the winner...all worked out, as she gave the proceeds to the charity...as we would have...was funny, though...er, I think I would have...I might have...I could have...I should have...I may have...

 I made up a CD of the Best of Little Big Town...I'm telling you right now kids...it is great...they have such great harmony and songs...I told our fav waitress the other day, that they reminded me of Fleetwood Mac...she responded "who are they?"...what are you listening to?...kids these days...

Gotta find out when the Open is OPENED on the tele...

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.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
