St. Paddy's Day

Good morning lads and lassies....it's the time of the Irish...and all us heathens will share on the festivities, right mates?...don't forget to wear something green...as you wouldn't want to get pinched throughout this day, now would ya?...

Have you filled out your Big Dance bracket?...I have given some hints of my pix...and if you think "chalk", then you have figured out mine...which means going with the favs, for you rookies...there will be some upsets on the lower tiers, but do think that the best will emerge...which I am rarely right on...maybe it's better to go by colors...

Lots of pundits don't like the collegiate game...doesn't resemble the pros...no duh...the game itself is in shambles...it has become a drive and dish affair of 3 point shots...by all...and the art of having, and using a big man...is pretty much gone...in the pros...still is used in college...thus, the dominance of Kentucky and Duke...who still play the more conventional way...

There's more to it...many of the best players...er all of them...play gaggles of games in AAU...where it is the run, drive, and shoot the 3...and aren't taught anything about the nuances of the sport...they get that at the better high schools, and most of the colleges...but their length of stay?... one season...you can imagine how they get eaten up by the vets...

Most peops don't play pro ball...and they love to play...the high school game is refreshing and is the time of major input...most of these kids play cuz it's fun...and the last time they get to in organized ways...and this is what they'll remember all their lives...very few move on to college as players...so what the pros want, doesn't come close to fitting the abundance of most players...leave it alone...

You think I wasn't disheartened yesterday?...started double-double-bogey-triple...eegads, a miserable sight I was...8 over after 4...Tigerish...ha ha...

Clear frontrunners on the new version of DWTS...Rumer Willis and the Olympian (duh)...my heart went out to the Vet...one arm and one leg...amazing he could do what he did...

So this day is in remembrance of Saint Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland...credited with bringing Christianity to that country...and somehow...has become a widely celebrated tradition for most of the world...hmmm...well, the Christian part of it...thought that you'd like to know...well...I started early...after my start on the links YESTERDAY...and am paying for it right now...

My Irish eyes are smiling...what does THAT mean?...lordy...

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...
