Beechwood 4-5789

You remember back when...the telephone numbers began with areas, then went to letters...???...SAD5-9366?...yea, well, they are all numerical now...headed by the area code...or...the rotary phones themselves...every one had a land line...and party lines...earlier on, too...my how things have changed...

The cell phone has made us the most talkative ever...shoot, throw in the bloody texting on 'em...and you can't go anywhere without the needed...iphone, or whatever you have...all sizes, all ages, and all over the place...

The latest and greatest?...the camera in 'em...not only can you take terrific shots, but sneak into privacy...just try and not take a pix if you run into a 'star' somewhere...all this, for a cool $1,000 or so...and get this...in another year, you probably will shell out another thou for a later one...

Read a very in depth report on the collegiate hoop scandal that has just made the headlines by the FBI...money laundering to the player's parents appears to be the major topic...the $ also filters down to the coaches, too...wire taps...plants...all the things that one might see on a good who done it flick...Adidas appears to be the main hit, on this one...being going on for quite some time...and the Univ of Louisville the center...there are many others, kids...if they locked up the U with their $...they probably have the goods on the coaches...should they lock the coaches up?...I dunno...seems to me there are much worse crimes out there...fine 'em and fire em...should do the trick...but, I dunno...

Beisbol has most of the playoff teams figured out...there may be one wild card slot still to be had...appears that the Rockies have it to lose...Nats, Bums, Astros, Cubbies, and the Indians...the leaders in the clubhouse...

I have heard lots about MLB Managers leaving a pitcher out on the mound for an extended period of time, and get shellacked...to preserve the bullpen...listen Mgr Green (Pads) why now?...you have all these minor league guys up and anxious to get out there...and you leave Clay Richards in for 8 runs in 3 innings?...give me and Clay a break...

You have your Tele set for 10 am?...the Prez Cup kicks off today...and 3 former Presidents will be there...Clinton, W, and Obama...that, my good friends, is way cool...not sure if the golfing Prez, T will show...anyway, the golfing shall be fun...and I lurve team golf...

The Horse did something that I haven't done for quite some time yesterday...10 pars...5 a side...where did this come from?...no idea...I have been quite the hack for about a year (ha ha, or more)...and this after starting the round, double double...hey, that sounds good...In N Out...

Hugh Hefner, has died at the age of 91...the founder of probably the most famous mag of all...Playboy...

When the Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs tennis match took place way back when...I looked at it as silly...there is a flick coming out that relives it, this weekend...it had more of an impact on gender equality than I thought...

Oh yea, the phone number that heads me blog today, the title of a hit song ( released in 1962)  by the Marvellettes...who, ironically, also had a hit song, 'Playboy'...

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
