In The Fog

Image
Hey kids...woke up to fog this am...much like me brain after a very bizarre evening...oh well, let's just say that tequila is a bad hombre ...enuff said...however, we are getting sensational weather...after this stuff burns off...of course, you all know that...hmmm....maybe you don't if you live elsewhere...duh...see?...me noggin is a knockin... How about them Pads! ... 3rd win in a row ...what?...are we getting into record territory?...more solid pitching...timely hitting...remember the plight of the new C, Austin Hedges? ...started the season 0-24...that's right...oh my...well now, clubbed a dinger...his 4th this week ...stay patient my friends...it's hard not to like what we are doing... This is the time of the NBA Playoffs , where the favorite teams travel to the underdogs...and usually, you get your upsets...kind of figure that PDX just has to get one tonight, right? ...c'mon Blazers, put up a fight...you know, not that long ago, these first round set o...

Seinfeld...4!

Image
Ah yes, the episode that frustrated us viewers so ... Seinfeld ...where the trio of hungry diners...well, expected to be...kept getting the 'you're next' line... 'about ten minutes' ...I said trio, as George was counting on a date to join 'em...you have been in that situation, right?...waiting for a table, and seeing others walk by...and get seated...hmmm... dinner for 4? How about that for the White House ...where this group of diners had no problem waiting... invited by Prez T was the highly intriguing attendees ( that's what you would call it?)... Sarah Pahlin, Ted Nugent, and Kid Rock ...imagine that conversation...there is certainly a different attitude in DC now... For all of the Demos allegations that Putin masterminded our last election , then why is Russia flexing their muscles over the Northern Pacific?...doesn't make sense to moi...it's just a weird time in the world...too much of that 'flexing' ...let's all calm down.....

FOX Gets Fixed

Image
Morning, kids...no golf today, so the Horse can take a bit of time explaining himself better... 'you got a lot of splaining to do'. .. Ricky to Lucy ...have you ever seen the epic 'The Lucy Show?" ...some of you have...most have not...it was THE comedy half hour on TV way back when... Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were the leads...and...it was way funny...some of the gazillion channels still air it...look for it and take a few episodes in...you can thank me later... My blog title for the day, has the embattled FOX News as the headline...oh my... they have lost 3 of their stars in the past 6 months ...the boss, Roger Ailes ...their lady star, Megyn Kelly ...and now, the mouth that roared, Bill O'Reilly ...two of them for harassment allegations...guess which two?...anyway, they have filled one of the prime spots with this dude, Tucker Carlson ... For you who are Dancing With The Stars groupies ...he was on that show as, gulp, a star that was trying to dance.....

Against All Odds

Image
You watching these NBA Playoffs? ...right, me too...the most stunning of a series is going on in the east...where the number 8 seed has gone into the home court of the number 1 seed and... SWEPT 'EM! ...that's a wowee... The Chicago Bulls ...went into Boston town and have done the unthinkable... Their best player and leader...is a guy who has emerged... AGAINST ALL ODDS! ...his story and background is alarming at best...where you would think that there must be some fudging on some of it, as it can't be that bad...guess again... Jimmy Butler ...grew up in Texas... the dad abandoned the family early in the process...OK, hear that tale way too often...hang on, it gets bizarre... the mom kicked Jimmy out of the house at age 12...what?...the report has it, "she didn't like the way he looked". ..true and yet, sad stuff...he was on his own... imagine ... He bounced around the neighborhood...finally settled in on some friends, who's parents would help hi...

Tuesday Tee

Image
Yup, I got the early tee time today, you tea toting tea bags...what?...a bit of alliteration to tantalize the Horsies ...I just made that up...I want to say just a few things... Dang it... the Pads pen gave up the runs to in fact... get swept in Hotlanta ...boo...this after C Austin Hedges hit a 2 run dinger in the 8th to put us ahead...not to be...and NOW, we travel back to SD, for some home cooking ...maybe... The Pacers chance at game number 1 in Cleveland was their only chance there...no. 2 was no match....in the other game of the night... Memphis got absolutely drilled by Pop's Spurs...drilled...and the losing coach went on a very expensive rant after, ripping the refs ...oh my, have yet to hear the amount on it...but it has to be enormous... The Brits want to exit, er, Brexit faster than a speeding bullit ...thank you Superman...hmmm....they must be a hurting financially...not a good sign....right?... Let's see...I have some new golf balls...a trusty 3 iro...

Monday

Hey kids... we are back from a brief stay at the kids pad in Santa Barbara ...had a great time and now it's...time to catch up on what's being happening...like, going on...here, there, and everywhere... Did you catch the special that was on CBS last eve?...a tribute to the Brothers Gibb, er, the Bee Gees ...only one has survived...hmmm, that sounds weird...one is still living...Barry...the elder, too...anyway, a number of sangers did the covers of theirs...lordy, they had a bunch of fun, catchy songs...my fav was not done... "I Started A Joke" ...the lead was Robin on that...BTW, the mix of old footage and the present day vocals was superbly produced... The NBA Playoffs got off to a bang...the top two in the east... Boston got BEAT by the Bulls...and the Cavs should have ...but survived...in the west...PDX put up a good fight at Alameda...but lost to GS ... Houston mauled Westbrook and the Thunder (Soopersonics)...and SA won easily...there you go in a nutshell...
