Make My Coffee, Xtra Hot

Sunday had it's extraordinary games in the Big Dance, don't ya think?...ah, the Sweet Sixteen...has such a beautiful ring to it...the state of Oregon is gushing all over, as not only the Guy's Ducks, but the Lady's Beavs, moved into the next set of frays...way cool...

The last game played was the Oregon/St Joseph one...and it was a donny brook...ha ha...could have gone either way, right?...a huge 3 ball was the diff...it finally hit me...their hoops team parallels their football team...now...as, like their FB, they have no power game...just a lot of finesse and quick hitting...almost gone from the way that basketball is anymore, is the big man play...now, it's more of dribble drive and dish...sometimes attack the hoop...this is the Ducks...well...on they go to take on the Blue Devils of Duke...hmmm...

From the super elation of winning by a 1/2 court shot, but two days prior...to the ultimate humiliation of blowing a 12 point lead in the final 44 seconds of the game....Northern Iowa...waltzing thru Texas A&M...skipping and dancing along...and then...BOOM!...turn overs and Texan prayers...and questionable calls...their lead vanished...went to double OT...and it was over...history was made...not the type you want to be saddled with....

The X factor...a lot of hype for this team...and...like MSU, another no. 2 seed...a crushing defeat...to a higher ranked team...this time it was Wisconsin...really?...the bloody 3 ball did them in...I must say, that too many of these highly paid expert coaches, have no clue as to protecting a lead...the use of the foul prior to allowing a dude to shoot a 3...somebody must be telling them that it is a sin to use it...it ALWAYS works...this is the X factor...bye bye Xavier...

Finally, in the games for Sunday...the team that I thought shouldn't have made it...won again...easily...with their 2-3 zone...the Orange...Syracuse...confounding the Mid Tenn boys...actually, they shot so poorly...it made the game a joke...on they go to face the Zags...guess who I'm a rooting for?...

Other stuff...

The Prez and his family flew into Cuba...this is ground breaking, kids..say what you want, Repubs...but this is a GOOD thing...and about time...lawdy, this country needs a lot of help...and I'm not talking about us...

The Arnie T in Orlando...Jason Day...the Aussie...who now lives in Ohio...won it...BTW, almost all the golf dudes move into the US from abroad, right?...something about a better tax break with all the millions of $ they earn...bring THAT up, you Prez wannabes...anyway, the highlight of one of my news sources, didn't mention Day, but that Rory had a nice last round...get a life...

What do you make of a comment by a play by play guy, who corrects someone in the same biz?...it was a true statement...but is it not an unwritten rule to not do so?...hmmm...maybe not...he was right...the guy was blatantly pulling for one team...do we call that "homering?"...maybe he had a wad of $ on the team...naw, that would never happen...

I quickly alluded to the gals Big Dance...I do not follow it...sorry...I can't do it all...but, I am happy for the OSU Beavers in their quest for the championship...it's just that UConn dominates that so...

The SDSU/UDub game in the NIT is tonight...I thought it was last nite...like no one carries these results...anywhere...

Stop the press!...the Pads won a Cactus game...beat the Bums...what?...scored 12 runs...all in one game...what the heck?...

As we were basking in sunny, fun weather....I listened to some peops in NYC talk about the snow they were getting...isn't it spring?...

The bloke who talked about the tennis world from the desert...in essence said "thank the world for the guys, as they carry the sport"...of course, the gals were upset...who wouldn't be?...what was he thinking?...

So today...we have this unwanted work done on our heating/cooling system...by the building...work that we already had done...but...it now must be redone by the building's dudes...got that?...so it is conducive to all others...massive thing...as they have to take out a door to get at it...

Sammi won't be happy...

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...
