BREAKING NEWS!   Oregon  Ducks upset the Kansas Jayhawks to get to the Final 4 for the 1st time in 78 years!!! Hey now, this is something we ALL can celebrate!... National Waffle Day. ..yessiree, Bob...you like 'em regular or Belgian? ...smothered with butter, er fake butter...margerine...ladle on some real Vermont syrup, or a reasonable facsimile...top with an egg, over easy please, and there you go...a reason to start the day off with a smile... BTW, have you ever looked at the price of REAL syrup?. ..hmmm... I gave it 8/5 odds for failure... the Ryan Care, er Obamacare Lite, er, the Health Bill ...and it didn't even get to a vote...squashed by the opposition prior to...which included, Prez T, other than every single of them Demos...some of YOUR Repubs...back to the drawing board... the Horse endorses a new version that includes more of the masses ...this stuff is real tricky... Dang, them Bruins of UCLA got their butts handed to 'em...that sounds awful...let m...

2 Out of 3

Two out of three ain't bad ...the west coast teams...in the Big Dance...as the Oregon Ducks and the Gonzaga Bulldogs move on to the elite 8...and wait for the efforts of UCLA today , to see of there can be 3 moving on...let's look at 'em... Oregon ...just a terrific win over the extremely hot Michigan Wolverines...who shoot the 3 as well as anyone in the T...maybe better...however, the Ducks are talented, too...me thinks that they have 4 gifted blokes, who can do a lot...I'm a huge believer in their big, Bell...as they now prepare for Kansas ...geez, looked like the Dance fav...after a walloping over the undermanned Purdue Boilermakers...scary opponent...watch the odds, kids... Gonzaga ...listen, I really don't care who wins these games...and their match with West Virginia was a doozy...the Mountainers harass you from the get go...and the Zags handled it...but...the game was so poorly officiated that it was hard to play...curious calls, inept calls, and ga...

The UK

Image
With the high drama that happened over the pond in the United Kingdom ...the senseless act of killing by another, dare I say, another pathetic soul ...who chooses to kill innocent people...rather than attack an army...the leader of the country came to the forefront...and I had no idea who that was... The Prime Minister Theresa May ...a former banker...and then involved all over their government...which I can't even begin to understand the makeup of it...or how someone gets elected..do you?...however, it does appear her referendum is to get England out of the European Union ...call it a monetary overhaul, I guess...anyway, this country is our buddy...and I think we should know more about 'em.. . Yesterday, I adjusted my blog a bit...my host, Blogger , introduced a number of different templates to use...I tried a few...and got confused...the pix were distorted and I balked...settled on the one I am using now...what you think?...and my numbers went off the chart...have no ...

The WBC

Image
Sounds like more of a rasssssling thinger, huh... the WBC ...and in this corner, Two Gun Charlie, out of Missoula Montana ...what?...naw, I'm talking about the World Baseball Classic ...and the USA is in the finals for the first time ever for the event...as they beat a formidable foe in Japan ...rainy night in LaLa land...that I think might have been postponed any other time...and face Puerto Rico for the crown tonight...is the weather gonna be any better?... it's on the MLB Channel... Punches thrown in the NBA?...are we getting like hockey?...back to the corners...in the red corner is this wild haired dude, a grad from Stanford, and one of them Lopez twins...Robin ...and in the blue corner...representing the entire country of Canada, Serge Ibaka ...as usual, the fisticuffs, just grazed...listen, no hoopster is a brawler...just tall blokes...Bulls vs Raptors...gots to get the people in the stadiums somehow... I'm gonna take you on a bizarre journey...about a dude...

FB Eye

Image
Just a quickee, as I have an early tee time, kids...but will leave you this to ponder...the Congressionals got their wish...an eye to eye confrontation with the head of the FB Eye ... James Comey ...and he left the USA with these two major twists...er, stories... 1.  The Bureau is investigating any collusion with Russia and the Trump Republican campaign...didn't say there was, but they were...looking into it... 2.  That his people can't find any link to the statement by Prez T that he was wiretapped...by Prez O... What does this mean?...where are we going with this?... stay tuned ... And... DWTS ...the gals were simply awesome...well, 3 of 'em ...and was the Charro act just that?...or was she ticked at Bruno?... this would be a great show, if it weren't for the nonsensical judges comments... I am backtracking on the Golden St Warriors ...they have awakened...and have all, let's say that again... ALL of their blokes playing D ...the key...to their succes...

The ACC See-ya

Image
Sorry for the play on words...I am talking about the Big Dance...and also about the 'Power League', the Atlantic Coast Conference ...affectionately called the ACC by most, if not all east coast pundits...and the rest of the country just buys into it...like moi...sure, and the committee who puts the bracket together, also... 9 of their teams made it in...9!!!!! ...how many made it to the sweet 16?... one ...pooh on them and their reps...make that boooooooooooo... However, the Big 10 (14) and the Pac 12 are solid...and, thus, deserve the nomenclature of power...hey, I knew that the west coast had some elite teams this year...did not think that of the midwest...silly me... Wisconsin, Purdue, and Michigan for the Big 10 ...and Oregon, UCLA, and Arizona for the Pac 12 ...North Carolina was the only one out of the AC See-ya... Now that I am out of any chance for $ in the pools...I can root for whomever I want...so, the 4 west coasters ...that's who I am a cheering for....

Big Dance Moves

Oh yea, did I tell ya that Dancing With The Stars , starts back up tomorrow?...now THAT is Big Dance Moves ...of course, the stretch is who just may be considered a 'star'... it may NOW be the pros who guide the wannabes around the dance floor ...I dunno...still, it's great pixel viewing and I record it and groove...you see, I too, am a great dancer in my own right, er, me own mind...the Round Dance...stop it... OK, most of you think I am referring to the hoops action ...some big games yesterday...none better than Wisconsin knocking off the returning champ, and number 1 seed, Villanova...poof, there went many brackets... the Zags backed up and let the tourney cinderella, Northwestern,  back in the match...but then hung on...partly due to the tirade of Coach Collins..he could have been t'd up mucho times...my sneaker pick, West Virginny , choked up the Irish...X won again...I had no idea about them... 'Zona beat a game St Mary's... Butler over Middle Ten...
