Party Poopers

Well, we didn't last too long at the Pinnacle Xmas Party...it was fine...totally different approach by the organizers...catered and a new (to us) band...food was great...plenty of it...as was the vino...just enough is enough for us...ended back up in our pad, listening to Christmas Music...aren't we boring?...

The golf T went decently...my pardner, Gary, and I...ham and egged it...ha ha...took turns at hitting good shots...escape artists at times...fun stuff...and I...the Horse, actually putted well....kind of cool...I thought I could make any of them...didn't...of course, but my mind said yes...funny game...we tied for 2nd with our playing buddies...who actually outplayed us...the putting, kids, the putting...the great neutralizer...

Golf balls...I used a Titleist Pro V yesterday...and I could feel the difference...really...could be just the day...but I am mentioning this for a reason...the word out is that Costco has released their own 'Kirkland' ball...and all reports is that they are grrrreaaat...to use Tony the Tiger's motto...however, they are already 'out of stock'...hmm....

SDSU Aztecs won their bowl game in Vegas...actually quite easily...over the much more hyped opponent, Houston...I have told you all season, do not take this team lightly...they are well coached...do the right thing, for the players they have...and isn't that what coaching is all about?...adapting your style to the kids you have?...yup...

Also on the pixels...a terrific hoops game...Kentucky (my pick for numero uno) and North Carolina...both teams are absolutely loaded with great players...I kid you not...but...the next best hoopster in all of the game...is playing for them Wildcats...Malik Monk...get used to the name...Frosh there...for this one season...and will be the top pick in the NBA Draft this summer...hmmm, I could see him in a Laker Uni...

NBA mess...PDX...I'm telling ya...they got steamrolled by the Warriors...absolutely an embarrassment...30 to 40 point diff...most the whole way...I just can't figure what they are trying to do...see above...adapting to their players?...nah...maybe, it's that Golden St is sooo good...but, c'mon...

Tension with China...you feel it?...the US is trying to blame Prez-elect Trump...nope...the trade deal is just part of it, kids...we depend on that country so much for the goods we use...regularly...I think that they are confused...are they Socialist or are they Capitalist?...doesn't it always end up being about...money?!!!!...you bet it does...

Is this related?...Blac Chyna...smut talk is that she and the K Boy are splitsville...her real...er, other name is Angela White...hey, all us celebrity sorts...use pseudonyms...you know, me...Crazy Horse...I get it...but...there is no connection to her and the real China...I think...

BTW, does anyone ever use 'China' dinnerware anymore?...if you have them, it probably was willed to you...something like that...

Some body ( name withheld to protect the guilty) proclaimed to me that they 'hated', let me repeat this...'HATED!"...Christmas Music...the horror of it all...told to the wrong person...as I LURVE it...some of the most beautiful tunes ever recorded...you KNOW I think this...oh well, we all have our likes and dislikes...but Xmas music?...c'mon...

And...if there is not a better duet Xmas song, than..."Baby It's Cold Outside"...then I don't know what it is...my fave?...man, that is tough...as many have done it...well...I really dig Lady A's version...but, it is a tight race...

Next year...I think we are going to break tradition...and NOT got to Maui...what?...here's the rumor on the street...we are gonna go to NYC for the Holidays...New York City!?...in lieu...baby steps, right now...could change our minds...you see, if Trump taxes us less, than we could afford 2 trips!...you DO know I'm on a fixed income...

Well...Marsh hates (geez, another hater) this idea of NYC, as I was just informed...the weather!...well, I told you it was in the baby step mode...maybe if Cris and Leila wanted to go...BTW, we can't wait for them to be here for Xmas...!!!....

Figure today is the day...make that THE day...that we finish up our Xmas shopping...you know, I do need a new golf glove...hint hint...ha ha...wait, it's about giving, Horse...

Make your Sunday a great one....and, gulp, only 7 shopping days left....
