I Almost Cut My Hair

Image
David Crosby ...ha ha...one of the last bastions of appearance...what your hair looks like...for some, the coloring of it is essential...not that I haven't tried it...I have gone platinum two or three times...and it ticks off some...what?...you ladies get yours done ALL the time...and do whatever it takes to get the grey out... You sometimes have to get it cut a different way...you know, a bob or something like that...I went in yesterday to an old time barber shop...$10 a head...if I plan ahead, I go a block away and get a scissor cut for more than three times that amount... As I sat in the chair, I told him "don't cut much"...leave the top (what's left) and trim the sides...hmmm, not sure he spoke my lingo...and did whatever he wanted to do...I mean the price was right...I looked to my left and my right...everyone there was getting the military cut... The sides are shaved purnt near to the bone...the cranium never looked so naked...and they seemed happy.....

Bad Lies

I am not a fan of men's clubs...er, golf men's clubs ...kids (meaning men) can act like the worst jerks anywhere ... ANYWHERE! ...as witnessed by the latest in the one I'm in...seems like there was a flap about the tee boxes that were to be used in the "Eclectic T"...you see, you enter $ to win...which always causes a major hiccup... The ones to be used were the whites...but...the problem was that the course is in transition...not all the blocks had been painted...ah ha...and then some of the blokes then used the silver, in lieu of the gold...which were the ones that it was written to be used ...and there you go...some guys had shorter holes...duh... After considerable time and investigations...it was determined that you couldn't tell who used the proper tees and who didn't...thus, the tourney director scratched the T ... BOOM! ...hell has frozen over... The blokes who were in the lead or won...were irate...and they voiced their opinion...by differ...

Rambling Man

Morning kids...yes, today will be a RAMBLING MAN'S views on whatever is going on...well, it's what I do...seems like the Allman Bros did a Ramblin Man...not the same...as what I do... All over the airwaves is the TRAGIC DEATH of another star...my take is just that...it's too bad and I have no knowledge of depression...how deep it is and why one does what they do...especially when it seems like they have it all...maybe, you NEVER have it all... Walmart is going to another level of service...have their own doctors...what?...this really is one stop shopping...watch out son, the dentist chair can't be too far behind... OK, the postal service is losing $2 billion every 3 months...hmmm...the competition is really good...and causing a major dent in the US backed USPS...wonder where the government is going to go with this...and...a critical thing...you can pay your bills online in lieu of sending checks in the mail...has to be a big issue...are mailboxes a thing of...

Hat Trick

Let's just say that we are seeing the best in the biz right now...as Rory McIlroy won his 3rd straight T...two majors and a select one at Firestone...he hits it very long and very straight...and is the new "it guy"...great showing by Rickey and Lefty....and a bizarre last hole finish...where the last 2 groups were sped up to beat the light and the lightning...too bad...as it favored Rory...I think... Forget about the Tiger thing...he has fallen apart...physically and mentally... Tragic news out of LA...as the comedian Robin Williams , has died at the age of 63...the rumor is, that it is suicide...which I can NEVER figure out... The T I was in on Saturday was scratched due to the inept guys playing...not following the rules...boo...using the wrong tee blocks...how dumb is dumb... OK, lets get to the beisbol thinger... the Pads have the Pirates number...like for the last 10 seasons...as we won the series in Pitt...has to be a major headache for them...and now,...

Not sure when I have seen so many blokes that have a shot at the PGA Championship...of course, the leader is the best at this time, Rory ...and the rest have to play mighty loooongg to get him...as it is raining big time in Kentucky...will be high drama...and will take most of the day, so it seems... My T ...geez, started well...a 39 on the front...and ballooned on the back...boo...it is called an Eclectic...which means round two and the final round...you try to beat your score on every hole from the 1st round...got it?...kind of cool...there was controversy...as some of the blokes used the wrong tee blocks...not sure how they resolved it...seeings I was with the T Prez and board members, we were doing it the right way...my new irons?...felt great... NFL...saw some highlights of Johnny Football ...looked like he did in college...got a feeling that he is going to make an impact...at least Norv left, so he has a chance...in Cleve... My esteemed colleague from the PNW, Snooki , so ...
