Nostalgia
Cincy did it's job of honoring the best living legends of the game...I had mixed emotions...they brought out 4...all deserving for sure...Sandy Koufax, Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays...all of them played prior to the PEDS era...here's my thing...it also was sad...as two of them could barely walk...and it just reminded me of the impending doom of all of us...as we gather up years...
Am I going to have the same feeling at the 50th Reunion?...the aches and pains...and the, well, you know...I can see why some people pass this up...on the other hand...I remember when I was Activities D at the old high school...and I met up with a committee of another class, celebrating their half century...and they were full of vim and vigor...and wanted to give something to the school...we came up with a bell for the tower....one of the very few schools that have one...
They showed up for the unveiling and it was...sensational...we used it and heard it...at least until I retired...and sadly...I talked to one of the present day secretaries there...and they quit the ringing...somebody in the hood complained...now, I'm down again...it was a super gift...
So apparently there is an Iran Nuclear pact done...something like that...and if you want a couple of sides of the agreement, just listen to Fox News and CNN...you'll feel strongly both ways...and just might, just might, think that this is a temporary fix on the issue...I dunno...
Just a wild guess here...but the escape of the Mexican Gang leader was an inside job...the only thing missing was a personal escort out of the prison...
One of the German Nazi Officers at Aushwitz, was found and tried...and sentenced to 4 years in prison...I think he is 94...hmmm...remember the book I told you about, how many of the Nazis scattered through out the world as they were defeated?...doesn't surprise me...
My golf yesterday...oh my...I was a pure hack and embarrassment to the sport...yet...only lost one ball in the debacle...and putted lights out...91...geez, that's two 90's references in two paragraphs...imagine if I was putting poorly...it would have been in the 100's...ha ha...no joke...
Time to start studying on the ponies...opening day tomorrow...and like I have told you...I go a couple of times a week...we are on for Friday...we are at a table at the outside restaurant...thanks to the Maduzas for the setup...let's see...got our hats, binoculars, shades...ready...
So, get this...at the ESPN ESPY Awards...they are honoring the former Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn...as the Arthur Ashe Courage Award recipient...really?...for what?...announcing he has changed to a her?...seems to me that this is a whole different thing...
And the latest Prez polls...the leaders?...Hillary and gulp, the Donald!...oh my...all this before any debates, my friends...just hang onto your buttons...it'll take a few more months to get the real deal going...ah, this is going to be a GREAT blog year, I am sure of it...
I just watched the roast of the Biebs...not exactly sure why he would do that to himself...as it was brutal...and the worst of all humor...I guess that's what you call it...maybe satire...whatever it is...awful...
On the lighter side...the Pads...an organization that has gone through so many uniform changes and colors...and just haven't been able to settle on one that perfectly sets the tone of the team...gone from brown to blue and whatever...and you should see the array of stuff that the fans dress up in at the games...I myself, have two of the types...there are like 6...I prefer the brown and white...what the heck, this is fluff, huh...
Back to the serious side...it takes a while to find a doctor that you can have confidence in...I had a great one back in Orygun...he retired...then we got a 5 star here...and she is moving to Arizona...geez...now we have to try another...
Our new Beamer...has this very cool function...you put in a CD...and hit a button and it stores it in the system...and there you have your sounds for it...I have been downloading a bunch...
A lot of mention to the Pads about moving of players in the next 2 weeks...underperforming team...duh...and there is a term used..."buyers or sellers"...I can't distinguish between the two...seems the same to me...
Finally, my golfing partners, can't fathom living in a high rise condo...they need their space and land...their separation of living is of the utmost importance...been there done that...
My pix for the Open...Spieth, Rickey, DJ, Stenson, and Tiger...I got no chance...
Let's see...out of milk...really puts a damper on what I like for breakfast...
