Strange Brew

Image
Even though I am golfing this am, I am up like way early...so I have time to write a bit...and it's all about the NBA...just a Strange Brew of events that went on yesterday...and no weirder than that happening in Cleveland...they fired their head coach... David Blatt ... Hmmm...let's see...in his second season... his lack of accomplishments must be the reason, right?...wait...he lost in the finals last year to the best team in hoops, the GS Warriors...albeit, with his star PG injured...yes, he does have the dominant physical feature in the game, LeBron James...but... here me clearly...he is not THE BEST in the biz...talking Lebron... OK...this season he had the Cavs in first place in the East...and easily the front runner to get back to the champ game...however, the Warriors came to town and beat them soundly...get a grip, Cleveland owners...if GS is on...they beat anyone...even you...and the finger of doubt should be put on YOU!...your next best players are no where ...

Blizzard

BLIZZARD! Not here, silly...but all across the North East part of the USA ...and with the hub of the pixel news coming from NYC, it will be splattered all over our screen...not complaining...it will be pretty to see...much more difficult to be in...so far from way down here in San Diego, it is a visual treasure... Kind of funny...when I looked up " blizzard" , one of my finds was this ice cream concoction from Dairy Queen ...yea, right...I used to lurve them...can't say I have had one since moving down here...now, over 10 years...what?...really?... The book I read was indeed "Gray Mountain" ...thanks Ms Sue...and it was an eyeopener...about the strip mining of coal in the Appalachian Mts...yes, I went online and checked out the topic...very real and very now...seems like Congress wants to turn their eyes away from the issue...a tragedy...the book, another fast page turner...and if you haven't, a must read... The NBA announced it's starters for...

Rolling Thru The East

Hey now...how's your day going?...more of the same here...dang, this whatever it is, is a hanging on...both of us ...so...I am a reading fool...also, a watching one...ha ha...I will tell you this...if you are into any form of hoops...you MUST get a glimpse of the best in the NBA...them Golden St Warriors ...who have rolled through the east ...playing the new brand of basketball...3 ballitis...and a different method of fast break...whoever gets the rebound, takes off with it... They just thoroughly whipped the best over yonder ...thumped 'em...smashed...embarrassed...ripped...you get my drift... the Cleveland Cavs and the Chi-Town Bulls ...East Coast best...hey fuggit about it...just enjoy the way they play...it is fun...and they are good...it's no more simple than that... I am reading about strip mining ... in the Appalachia's...it's fiction, but seems real...so Horse will look into it for you after I finish me book...it's like a true tragedy...and hard t...

The Tonight Show

Image
Da da da da da...duh duh duh duh ...put in your own hum to that...that was the jingle to the one and only, Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. ..you kids, it is on again...somewhere on your cable system...it is here, on like channel 83 or something (actually channel 813 )...it's different all over the US...check out your guide...we taped it and watched...they are showing random shows...dig it... BTW, remember when we all had the TV Guide mag?...it was a necessity...and was your memo for what was on the tube...hmmm...now, it's the pixels...the mag is still being produced...saw one in line the other day at the grocery...it's the same size as a comic book nowadays... Well, due to my whatever I got...I was up last eve...late...and I watched the latest version of the Tonight Show...now, starring Jimmy Fallon ...to me, a huge improvement over Jay Leno...hey, that's just me...anyway...his lineup of guests included two comedian types...Chelsea Handler...and Fred Armisen.....

One Of These Nights

Image
Just one of many songs that the legendary Eagles sang...and were composed by the now, late Glenn Frey ...just a tragic death...as he is my age...was the founder and co-writer of many of the classic songs that they gave the world...no better than "One Of These Nights" ...there are many others...gone, way too soon... "Desperado", "Lyin Eyes", "I Can't Tell You Why", "Witchy Woman" ...shoot, the list goes on and on... Staying morbid...a report out of Google News that over 19,000 civilians were murdered in the past year in Iraq ...get that, CIVILIANS ...it's a scary time we live in, kids...I'm not lying to you...be thankful for what you have and where you live... Is it just me, or are there more incidents of racial tension in the US lately?...the horrendous drinking water fiasco in Flint, Michigan...the deadly shootings by police...in a number of places...even, the lack of diversity in the Oscar candidates...wait a minute...

Yuck!

I could easily replace the Y with another letter , to express how I feel... day 3 , I think...this, whatever it is, has got me and won't let go...well, enough of the "poor me"...I have things to say...hang in there... The last Demo Debate prior to the Iowa and New Hampshire votes, er caucus, whatever...last eve in South Carolina ...throughout the nite, I couldn't help but think that SNL would be a hooting and a howling over it ...such a great set up... Lester Holt (NBC) did most of the questioning...in fact, so much so, the blonde gal to his right almost seemed like a joke...sorry, serious Demos, but it's true...and... Hilz and Bernie pretty much said what they have always said...and the other dude... the Maryland Gov...what the heck? ...makes me wonder, aren't there any other Democrats worthy or needy enough to run for the top spot in the political arena?... why oh why is Hilz referred to as Secretary and not Secretary of State?... Which is what we...

Shenanigans

Duped ...that's what I call it... Blue Apron ...the service that sounds too good to be true ...well now...it's a food delivery system that sends out 3 meals to your door step...packaged well...and gives you not only the food, but the recipe to follow...and, the spices and veggies... the cost is about $20 a meal for two peops ...you following so far?...if you have two peops who work every day, it sounds like a good fit... So...we tried it...and so did Cris and Leila ...did NOT know they were doing so...at the same time...interesting...and...we had two of the same recipes...salmon and buffalo chicken... they were pleased...we were not ...I felt like the fish and chicken were below the standards that I could buy at the grocery store...so be it... Here's the catch...the delivery was on Wednesday...we cooked the 2nd meal yesterday...OK, fine...and decided to pass on the service...hey, we can do the shopping...no prob...alas... when I went online to cancel...there was a ...
