When Christmas became Xmas

Cold morning here in the hood...56*...where is my sweater?...or onesie?...anyway, how ya"ll doing?...the main topic today is why we use Xmas in lieu of Christmas?...well, some of us...fact is, it is easier to type...

Had no idea but the origination of it was back in the 1700's...really...a Greek abbreviation thinger...and it took off...Christians rebelled as it seemed to them, that people were taking Christ out of the meaning of it all...there you go, in a nutshell...Merry Xmas, er, Merry Christmas...YOUR choice...

The college football final 4 fiasco...the D-1 dummies, who continue to find ways to keep the money making 'bowl games'...give it the 'not good for the students' line, to stop much of the playoffs...like in all other D-1 sports...hey, the real students are playing D 2&3...and they HAVE playoffs...anyway, I'll just buy into this...and talk about the teams...

'Bama rolled over a way below average Florida Gator 11, er, 75, er whatever the number is that suit up for the games...Ohio St, like ranked number 2...didn't even play for the Big 10 (14) title...what?...neither did the number 5, Michigan...if it smells fishy, then it must be...fishy...the Dawgs mauled the QB injured Buffaloes...so...does Washington keep their number 4 ranking and get to this mini-playoff?...I've got my fears...the committee so does want them Wolverines in it...

The Aztecs went into Laramie and beat Wyoming...thus, winning the Mtn West...congrats, but where does that send them in the 'bowl games?'....maybe into the great Poinsettia Bowl...right here in San Diego...oh my...talk about no respect for a conference...

Due to the number of these 'bowl games', there are teams that get in that have less than a .500 record...isn't there 40 bowlers?...maybe, just maybe, this needs to be revised...right?...

Tiger...he is playing like olden times...even made a run at the top in the Bahamas...fell back, but it's not the same product we have been watching for like 4 or 5 years...he's making a statement...and the golf world is a buzz...he does bring excitement to the game and their tour...

UCLA is on a tear in hoops...actually went into Rupp Arena and beat Kentucky...who I see as the clear fav this season...not so fast, Horse...the Bruins are a factor....as is Duke...and, gulp, the Ducks...well, I'm not a fan of the coaching of K's Calipari...his recruiting yes, his coaching style, no...

Marsh had her Xmas, er Christmas, Party last eve...she looked mahvelous...and it was a grand time had by all...especially like talking to PJ and her daughter, about politics...after a few drinks, nothing made any sense...ha ha...

You DO know, that my entire blog yesterday, was tongue in cheek, right?...some thought there was some real meaning to it...nope, totally sarcasm...

How can this be?...Kanye and KK are living apart...wasn't it to be forever?...maybe just taking a break from all the stress they are under...wait...they don't work...do they?...so what is the stress?...

I've got this hurt thumb...have no idea how I did so...swollen up and nagging me...so THIS is why my golf game stinks...has to be...should I splint it?...I have been doing the ice and ibuprofen method...still hurts....do not shed tears for moi...

Today is the closing day for them hosses out at Del Mar...we are going to go to Cedros St to shop, then mosey on over to the track...now THAT sounds like a plan...a GREAT plan...

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...
