Ducks in Natty!

That sounds weird, huh...but, yes, the Oregon Ducks are in the National Champ Game!...lambasting the east coast rep, the Florida St Seminoles...and the east coast pundits...and the lame ESPN analyst and former UDubber, David Pollack...geez, I seem vengeful...am not...it was more than I could ask for...59-20 wham bam thank you mam...eegads, that's sounds awful...I must stop using those terms...there you go, another RESOLUTION!...

And will face the Ohio St Buckeyes...what?...yup, the SEC fell flat on it's over-hyped face...what I alluded to, prior to the Sugar Bowl...is 'Bama not what we think?...is that conference the analyst's dream?...and BAM!...most lost...let's be clear here...OSU dominated...and it could have been worse...trouble in the red zone early in the fray...

I will find out this am as to whether I am going to the Natty Game...it's a possibility...and easier for me to get a flight out of here, than up in Orygun...right?...lots of things have to fall into place...the tix, the hotel, the flight...all to coincide with my buddy from up in the rain belt...

My bowl pix are inclusive to that SEC debacle...and I fear some wild picker,...you know, "I pick the color blue in all my pix", will win...oh well...who can pick all these silly bowls anyway?...at least there were packed houses for the two playoff games...unlike almost all of the other ones...

POOF!...just like that, the Xmas stuff is down and stored away...well, it took about 2 hours...and I think it seemed like it was up for only a short time...I love that season of the year...time seems to go too fast...

I have yet to find a better K Cup than that of Starbuck's French Roast...do they make an Italian Roast?...haven't seen one anywhere...Tully's is a close 2nd...

Today is Friday...feels like a Tuesday...doesn't it?...

The Auto Show is over at the Convention Center...eegads, I have the itch bad...haven't had a new vehicle in 11 years...

My beard is gone...saw a pix of me...looking about 80 with it...so off it came...of course, I AM oldish...

Imagine this...you are rich and famous...you father, er mother...Baldwin and Basinger...well, whatever...you know what I mean...and raise the daughter to be successful...with all the benefits of the affluent...and she brings home a boy for your viewing....ah hem...the Biebs!...true story...

Lot warmer today...47* as the low...we are in record books now...will rise up to normal in the next few days...

NBA...I have left this alone for a few days...but...King James has a sore knee and is out a couple of weeks...told you he was underperforming...there's the reason...and the price of the NBA package is still at $169...too much...

Have a nice weekend...

By the way...the lead story in our Trib sports page?...the Ducks and Marcus Mariota!...

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...
