The Greatest

Not too many people have that as their moniker..."The Greatest"...Muhammad Ali...who died yesterday at the age of 74...a role model for many, especially in the Black Communities throughout the world, not just the USA...when boxing was "the" sport...he had it all...his life's journeys will be shown through out the weekend most everywhere...I can remember going to the Salem Armory and watching a fight with Sonny Liston...just got sat down and it was over...think it cost me $5...a lot for a TV screen viewing...his grace and speed were like no other...

I had a feeling that I would have trouble with the 6:42 am tee time...slept right through the alarm...takes me 30 minutes to get to El Cajon...so...nope...I'm a no show at the course...thus, you all are getting me a talking...I guess you win...

Got a big tickle yesterday as I was watching the ladies play their T in the LPGA in Jersey...as the interviewer was probing...Gerina Piller...that's her name...who's in the hunt after the 1st round..."you're gonna go rest up for the round tomorrow?..."...she replied, "no way, we are going to the Luke Bryan Concert"...took the bloke by surprise...and asked for extra tix...Piller is married to a PGA Pro, Martin Piller...how about that, they both are on their respective tours...can't think of another couple doing that...can you?...

The John Daly Show is now on the senior circuit...got to see the bloke bogey 4 straight...including a 4 putt green...ouch!...and the Memorial...the cream is slowly rising...Rory and Jordan were paired yesterday...guess what the pixels followed in it's entirety?...duh...

Odd...the line on the Pads/Rockies game last night favored the Padres...I was bewildered...as you know, we are playing with a major odor about us...well now, Matty Kemp, hit a tape measure dinger in the 1st...3 run shot...we then added a steal of home...really?...by BJ (Mel, Jr) Upton...and made that hold up...terrific pitching by lefty Pomeranz...BTW, a former Rockie...and we hung on for the win...I tell you, the bookie dudes seem to always know...

Who is this Luke Bryan feller?...country guy...has a voice that sort of sounds like Gomer Pyle...well, now...I am taking you deeper...who is that?...a regular on the Andy Griffith Show...wait...what is that?...it ran from 1960-68...who do you remember from it?...Aunt Bee?...Don Knotts?...Opie?...who turned out to be the director of many movies...and was the star of the infamous flick, "American Graffiti"... shoot, get out and buy or rent it...it's a feel good one...

Is it just me or...has the Donald made more and more bizarre statements...he just sticks his foot in his mouth regularly...how about this...Paul Ryan is going to vote for Trump...the Hilz...will she win Cali?...if not...hmmm...well, you can guess the chaos...this shakes out Tuesday...we have already voted...got some stickers that say so...wore them with pride...funny, we were the only ones that had them on....what's that mean?...

Speaking of concerts...we have one on Tuesday out at the Belly Up in Solana Beach...the gal singer from American Idol, a couple of seasons back...Haley Reinhardt ( and guest)...remember her?...we have never been to this complex...we have reserved seats...a hot commodity...gonna take the train there...and "Lyft" it home....it's a cluster there at this time of year...the Del Mar Fair is going on simultaneously , too...

A century ago...for you brain disabled dudes, that's a hundred years...1916...before WWI...hmmm...Cliffy you remember this?...I digress...there was this MLB team out of Philly...the Athletics...went 36-117...oh my...set countless records of futility...their SS committed 78 errors...their pitching horrible...in one game gave up 18 walks...must have been bad umping...2 of the pitchers went 2-36...the legendary Connie Mack was the mgr...then were nicknamed the "Pathetics"...see, SD peops, it's not so bad....

And yes...I did drop by Ralph's...got a 4 pack...2 maple frosted, a choc frosted, and a lemon frosted and filled...guess which one I DIDN"T have?...

Have a great Saturday...make sure you wear your sunscreen...
