Spring Break

Hey, it's time to get away!...push back all them hard hours doing whatever you do and go where the sun is...and head on over to SPRING BREAK!...for us, it's the desert...and meet up with the other blokes who are tired of the rain, wind, snow, and other evil parts of the weather...put on our shorts, lather up the whitish skin with some Coppertone 30, find a lounger close to the pool...and live the life we think we deserve....drink, eat, swim, golf, talk...repeat...repeat...repeat...

Of course, most of our buds are no longer working...like them retired types now...but we can't get the time out of our system...in our minds, we are still young, in shape, and full of vim and vigor...what the hell, let's PARTY!...

I think back when we used to load up the VW Camper Van...mostly with beer and chips...a map, cuz we had no clue where and what SoCal was all about...and bolted just as soon as we could on Friday...got as far as the body would let...pull off at a roadside rest area...and do that...sleep for a few hours...and continue the trek...the first real stop?...at a market to get some Coors Beer...didn't have it in Orygun...

The T in the road was usually this...head on to Disneyland, or veer off to the sins of Reno...Nevada...pretty much a tossup...what the hey...let's keep on going all the way to Palm Springs...see?...not much has changed...

Now....we load up the SUV...make sure we have enough of the IPS Beer...chardonnay...organic chips...our $1,000 golf clubs...$300 sunglasses...put our trip info into the map thinger in the dash system...what is a map?...double check that the place we are going has a HD TV...so we can watch our shows...yup, everything is still the same...

Hoopdom...I prob won't write for  few days...you know, too inebriated to do so...thus, I will give you my pix for the college hoops...
Ladies...UConn over Miss St...South Carolina over Stanford...
Gentleman...South Carolina over the Zags...Oregon over North Carolina...
Calm down, kids...for the guys, I'm taking the points...

NBA...the Blazers are on a streak...the right time for one...at the end of the reg season...actually playing...gulp...D!...what the heck?...beat the Beard and his whiskers last eve...fun game...and...the PDX crowd is like no other...it's the only game in town, and they appreciate what they got...5 stars...

OK, for now...don't give up on me...check back in a few days...

And until then...make all your days be fulfilled...with a nice bubbly, and a good cigar...

For your tune for the weekend...'Can't Stop The Feeling'...JT, like in Timberlake, not Taylor...
