Wonderful! Wonderful!

Some times it's just right to sit back...and take in what you have, where you are, and how happy your life is...hopefully, you do this today...and...is there a better song than that of the legendary Johnny Mathis, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"?...perfect...now do this and pour yourself a cup of Joe...find that vinyl, CD, cassette, or the song on iTunes...and enjoy the moment...OK, now you are in the proper mood to read the Horse...

Lordy, I have to start with them Padres...sailing along thru five innings getting no hit...that's right...have no hits...and then, 'Boom!'...a walk, a triple, a double, then back to back dingers...that"ll do it...a big W against the league leading Rockies...and the former Mgr, Buddy Black...sweetness and this team continues to mature...baby steps, kids, baby steps...

Yes, I am in a fantasy baseball league...and yes, I am in first place...I am loaded with front line pitching, unlike the aforementioned Pads...ha ha...whatever...are you in one of these leagues?...kind of cool, as it keeps you going all summer long...hey, a great name for a song...the Beach Boys...

NBA...some fun games last night...Boston rode the hot shooting of tiny Isaiah Thomas...53 points worth...got it in OT...BTW, their opponent, Washington, had a great shot at the buzzer to win...and...are woefully coached...speaking of coaching...the Warriors Steve Kerr is still out...but GS, methodically beat the Jazz at home in Alameda...Utah will win games to make this series a tester...they, are well coached...does it matter in the NBA?...I think so...

Your fav late night comedian, CBS's Letterman replacement, Stephen Colbert...continues his rant on Prez T...has crossed over a comedic line to downright vulgarity...he is NOT funny...and there is a groundswell to get his arse fired...hip hip...check out the reason on any source not funded by CBS...

The Repubs have re-emerged with another health care bill...to replace Obamacare...I think the key element is...if there is a provision for 'pre-exiting medical conditions'...if so, they will get the votes and it will be passed...

Your 2nd place candidate for the Prez...Ms Clinton...has been working the speech circuit...gave some reasons for her failed effort...even went on to say, that if the vote was in October, she would be in the White House...hmmm, really?...I think when the DC sabotaged their own party, THAT was the beginning of the loss...the common person Demo stayed away from the voting places...in droves...sorry Hillary, makes no difference whether it was October or November...you were doomed...

Ah yes, the Horse turned back political...dang...the worm turned...and I was feeling so good...wait, that Hillary is NOT Prez...I am back being happy...shoot, I am an independent...I can feel like this if I wanna...

Am I missing something, but I have not seen the post positions of the Derby...which is way critical to the race...have to think about getting the DRF....that is the Daily Racing Form...yup, things to do...

For your constant enjoyment...the FBI Director, James Comey, gets the Q's thrown at him by the Senate Committee...on right now...do you not find it odd, that the questioners have taken millions of bucks thru lobbyists and they, make that THEY, are debating 'ethics'?...I call it absurd...

That's it...I'm hungry and I need some grub...hey...YOU!...have a great day...
