CRAZY HORSE

Good early morning to ya"ll...before 6...egads...this means I am getting old...the pattern is now set...shoot, brings me back to when I HAD to get up before 6. ..anyway, here are the tidbits of the day... I must start with the Portland Trailblazers ...er, Rip City...who got eliminated in the NBA playoffs last nite in Alameda...but...PDX had a tremendous season...I picked them at the bottom...they lost 4 starters...yet...found a new way to play the game, featuring their should be star PG, Damon Lillard....they're fun, fast, and exciting...keep your team intact...Mr. GM...and add another PG/SG in the draft...just someone who can give your top 2 guards a real breather...it's all good... Today is the day that the Donald and the speaker, Paul Ryan meet...hmmm...as big as anything that has happened thus far...if there can be a compromise of what's going on, it will be the icing on the cake for a surprising campaign for Prez...by Trump...no guarantee that it will be ...

Hey now...it's a Wednesday, like May 11 ...took a day off to go hit the links....and egads, I had a good round...hip hip hooray!...for you in the know, went back to my Nike putter and is was just fine... smiley face inserted here...and...did not get to comment on one of the best Pro Hoop games I have seen in a long time... You know I warned you about wagering on game 4 of the PDX / GS series...at least on the Blazers... I had this notion that Curry may emerge. ..which he did...took him a bit to unwind...and my how he did!... Portland started hot at the offset...up 16-2 and breezing...the crowd was delirious!. ..rightfully so...then, into the game came Steph Curry...the Warriors calmed down...a stabilizing effect... Still... the Blazers played hard and were up 10 at half...continued their great play...maybe, just maybe, they played their tandem set of guards, Lillard and McCollum, too long ...held their lead into the 4th stanza...with each team playing passionate and fun...

Top of the morning to ya"ll...what have you on the calendar this week?...me?...have prep for the Golf T out at Sycuan...member/guest ...which my guest is my son...it is a terrific event for us...a great weekend, regardless of the outcome of the "chasing and finding" of the ball...my number one agenda item is to find me a putter...somehow...ha ha... Was totally fascinated with the outcome of the PGA event at Quail Hollow ...as James Hahn came out of the pack and won in OT...here's the deal...he had missed 8 straight cuts...what?... EIGHT! ...it's a good lesson for all of us hackers (not saying he is)...hang in there...things can change for the good...kind of my mantra for me putting...it has to change, right?... Here's what I did...I worked on putting more with my arms than my hands...screwed me all up...and now, I gots no feel...so my brain is in total confusion ...as it transfers down to my body, there is chaos...maybe a new stick will help...ha ha......

Probably the least commercialized special day of the year, don't you think?... Mother's Day ...where a call and or a drop by...is like critical to any mother...should be so for you, her son or daughter, too...for all the right reasons... I will always say that I could have done more while she was alive ...don't you say, that if yours is still living...make contact and tell her how much you love her and are forever grateful...that's all... pictured with our son is my mom , and Marsha's mom ... The Derby. ..doesn't happen like this often... the betting choices came in 1-2-3-4 ...with Nyquist the dominant horse of the year...at least in the Derby...marvelous race by it's jockey...and the animal had a lot left...yup, I had it in the exacta ...but with all my other longer shot bets, ended up in the hole...grrr....and...I think the crowd was at 176,000 ...only car racing has more peops at a singular event...right?... I told you...bet the Blazers last eve....
