What Was That?

Image
What a terrible effort in the 4th quarter by the Clip Joint ...or, what a super performance by the Rockets...without their star, the bearded one Hardin...as Houston outscored LA 40-15...egads!...the lack of O was legendary...and the series is tied 3-3...and off they go to Texas to determine a winner...did not see this coming...BTW, super star Griffin, was held scoreless...oh my... And the Cavs beat up the Bulls...and won the series...and wait for the Hawks/Wizards winner...dang...oh yea, bye bye Chi-Town coach... It's a rain storm here...really...we canceled our morning practice round of golf...and will head out to Sycuan at noon for registration...so, no clubs out...and the wet stuff is supposed to be gone by this eve...so the Pads game is still on... Speaking of them...a solid 8-3 win over the Nats...after a 2 hour delay for the weather...and we have Odie going this eve...and the Nats are heavily favored cuz of him...maybe we will hit well again...have to score at lea...

Leg 2

Image
Leg 2 of the horse racing premiere event for the 3 year olds... the Triple Crown ...at the Preakness ...it's Saturday...and since I'm involved in a full weekend T out at Sycuan, I'm going to write about it today... the heavily favored American Pharaoh, is not so with me ...having won the 1st leg...the infamous Kentucky Derby...I don't see that happening this time...my esteemed colleague from the 17th floor thinks it will happen...and, ah hem, he knows what he is doing...like you can, in that sport...me thinks it will be a front runner...and that fits Dortmund to a tee...and that's the way I'm going to wager...BTW, Pharaoh is 4/5 to win...hmmm... Let the party begin!... the Pads salvaged game number 2 up at Seattle...with some timely hitting...and some equally important speed on the bases by Spangenberg...one more thought about Buddy Ball...hang in there with me on this...we run into more outs than ever... try to take extra bases when we shouldn't...is...

TPP

Image
Morning kids...and sometimes it happens...Horse gets caught up in the world of politics...this time he is baffled... TPP...Trans-Pacific Partnership ...so it is called...you know what is going on?...here you go... It's a bill that the Senate and the Prez are battling over...very confusing and lengthy...with add ons so it may turn the non-believers into those who do...in essence, it's the Demos who are blocking it...and the Prez wants it...the Demo Prez... Prez O just last week went to Orygun to meet with Nike officials...that is what they are called, right?...or maybe the CEO and the rest of the brass...AND members of Congress...there, that's better...and discussed some parts of the bill...er, like the bill itself...seems like this has touched a very irritable spot that the only American made shoe company felt...here's the deal...there are so many arteries to this bill, it's near impossible to talk about in a single blog segment... Age of the workers is a ti...

New Computer

Hey now...now this is living!...brand new computer...and it's the iMac...I can't tell you how much faster this is... but it's mega...let's get into it... NBA...the Cavs upset the Bulls...and I'm  not happy about it...well, not that unhappy...and the Clip Joint did a number on the brain dead Rockets...I tell you, that Houston coach has got NO CLUE!...and the others...the Hawks played like the team that was dominant in the reg season...as did the Warriors...these bloody games go so long, there are down times with even the best... The Pads had a day off...whew...still not a fond believer of Buddy Ball...but I'll withhold judgment a month longer...it's a 2 gamer in Seattle...are we up to the task?...then back into town for a 4 set with the Nats...and we are going on Friday...the boy will be here... As the member guest T is out at Sycuan this weekend...and Cris is my guest...gosh, I am looking forward to this soooo much...played well yesterday...83...and ...

Mother's Day

Here's a pix of my mom ... the nicest person I have ever known ...she treated everyone with respect...everyone...even moi... take some time and do some remembrance or take some time to be or talk with yours today ...shoot, it should happen every day...EVERY DAY!...do it while you can... Verna Holmes Shepard Golf ...I can't remember such a tournament like the Players...where there are so many blokes that could win ...and so many guys who are on the fringe of becoming a major guy...a win here, makes them a name to remember...the nerves that are needed on the last 3 holes...great to be a spectator...but so hard to be THAT GUY!... who does Horse pick? ...love the swing of Kirk...if Sergio could putt, he'd be up by 5...what a performance by 48 yr old Jerry Kelly...but...kind of think that someone out of the pack will finish early...post a score ...and be in the massive clubhouse...just a watching...like Rory, Bubba, or Adam Scott...maybe his last hurrah before he has to chuc...
