White Choc Mocha

Non-fat, extra hot...no whip please...top of the morning to ya"ll, kids...what's a poppin'?...it is the day of days for us...packing...making sure all the tees are crossed...something like that...got a book...real live one...about Mike Love, of them Beach Boys...that will keep me in the reading mode...along with the latest tour guide book on Maui...already got this humongous Sudoku one...spiral bound, if you will...let's talk about yesterday...fruitful one it was...

Probably, no not probably...the biggest topic of the day...was the near collapse of Ms Clinton as she was leaving the 9/11 Memorial in NYC...the clip was real...and...it took a good part of the day to get a release from the DNC Camp...she is sick...like really...has pneumonia...I can't imagine running for Prez, kids...the pressure of it all...being on demand and constant scrutiny has to wear you down...it takes special people to weather it all...let's hope for a speedy recovery...let's just leave it at that...

The NFL...seemed to me, that the quality programs found ways to win...and the upstarts found ways to lose...I still can't get over the absurd refereeing in the Thursday niter, as Cam Newton got drilled in the head, at least 4 times...and no penalties...I'll go over the ones that caught me eyes...

KC beat the Bolts...total collapse by SD...leading by 21 in the 2nd half...inept play calling, panic by QB Rivers yet again, and a defense that would have trouble stopping SDSU...

NE over the highly heralded Arizona Cards in Phoenix...the program wins this one...with the NE best players not suited up...the Pats dominated...yet, Arizona had a chance to win it at the buzzer by the bloody FG...which went wide left...

Seattle in a nile biter over Miami...low scoring one...the Hawks have a great D...and now...their QB tweaked his ankle...hmmm, the system will have to prevail for a couple of weeks...as he mends up...if it is only a sprain,,,

Minnesota over Tennessee...damn...it was going the Titans way for many of the downs...didn't happen and it will be a long, slow process for the Nashville Cats...damn...

Da Raiders win a donnybrook in the Big Easy...going for a 2 point conversion at the buzzer to get the W...I gots this feeling about them Oakland guys...

And...the copy cat dudes who sat or knelt during the National Anthem...on a day that has significance to the country for us all...9/11...I would give a big fine to 'em...get a life...have no, and I mean NO sympathy for their selfish act...

And...for all the time that these blokes have played the game of football...with all the coaching that they have had...it is absolutely incredible to me, that so many of them have no clue to how to use the clock at the end of the games....the frustrations of the QB's toward their teammates is incredulous....

BTW...my Fantasy Football team...came down to the FG attempt by Arizona...he nails it and I win...he didn't and I lost...to Dr Cris...NOOOOOOOO!....

The Collegiate Polls...the Ducks moved up a couple of spots...you ever heard of the Massey Poll?...they are number 11 in that one...?...the significant drop is Clemson...out to number 5...they are not worthy...ha ha...

The best golfer in the land...is Dustin Johnson...he finally is finishing...and needs to keep it going to win the $10 million in the Fed EX...and lead the US over the US living Euros in the Ryder Cup, next month...

I have this check list I use for all trips...adjust for the place we are going...some might say I am manic...nope...just organized...don't like surprises...did find some old noodles that we brought back last time...looks like I'm gonna have to pack a rain jacket, too...boo....

I will try to post while there...gonna try...have this little iPad...mini...so...just in case...don't leave me...I will be back...have a super 2 weeks and give your whole world a bunch of smiles...people will wonder just what you are up to....
