Jingle Bells

Probably no happier song...ever...and who doesn't know it?...Jingle Bells...as we wind down our shopping...and get ready for the kids to arrive...for Christmas...did I tell you that we love this?...probably a dozen or more...

Anyway, the song was written in, gulp, 1857!...by James Lord Pierport...originally called 'One Horse Open Sleigh'...it actually was the 1st song broadcast in outer space, by the Gemini 6 crew...but who made it the most famous?...so many peops have sung it...maybe Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters...I dunno, really...

Get this...picked Marsh up from work...WORK?...and we went out to the beach for lunch...'the weather outside was frightful'...wait, just the opposite...so much for that song...a new restaurant that was the Green Flash...really...now, a Mex one...terrific nachos and a 'signature' margarita...like had 3 normals in it...so much for the rest of the day...70*, sunny, and not a bit of wind...did NOT want to leave...

Hmmm...another bowl game out of Boca Raton, Florida...I have been in that state at least 20 times...and never been to Boca...anyway, the game was a laugher...Western Kentucky beat up on Memphis...I know, you didn't even know they existed...right?...my take on the game....the 'expert' analyst was the former Heisman dude out of Michigan...Desmond Howard...terrible...actually made light of a 'targeting call'...where you hit another with your helmet...brutal...

Hoops...the Warriors in a stomp...against one of the better teams in the west...the Jazz...took about 4 minutes for either team to score...GS opened up, Utah did not...by 30...and the top 4 didn't play in the 4th Q...and, oh my...your PDX Blazers in another stinker...losing to the Sac Kings...lead most of the way...and then lost it...again...if you watched it, you were probably sickened by the actions of the Kings C...Boogie Cousins...actually ejected...and then brought back by the inept officiating crew...to finish off the Blazers and the game...ugh...

More serious...the killings in Germany...they still don't have the coward who drove into the Xmas Crowd...he ran...of course...worthless piece of mankind that would do this...kill civilians...I hope that this isn't a part of their 'religion'...I just don't get it...

My fave comment from yesterday's blog...'I want to return that present'...referring to the Prez Trump...sorry, but this one lasts for a full 4 years...probably longer than any present that you will get this Xmas...eeks...

OK, I have been alluding to this for almost a year...our voting system is broken...makes no diff what party you are affiliated with...if any...but...there needs to be revamping...and simplifying done...but, NOBODY will do it...just complain about it...why?...the lobbyists, kids, the lobbyists...follow the money...if you can...our Supreme Court has made it virtually impossible to do, with the Super Pac scheme...hiding of the donors...bah humbug...

I am heading out to Sycuan for the last day of golf prior to Xmas...basking in the glory of a 2nd place finish...OK, all my golfing buds were 2nd, but that's not the point...I was actually part of it...which, in itself, is a miracle....

FORE! days left of shopping...

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...
