LaLa Land

Image
Not sure how the San Diego Symphony is gonna do this...as the theme for the night is 'LaLa Land' ...it is the party at the park...well, over at the Bay...where they pay tribute to the film...not sure if I recall any songs from it...oh well, it's in our package, so off we go to see whatever they drum up... Oh yea, the mean, clean machine of them Padres are in Chavez Ravine for a 3 spot with the Bums...who just are heralded as the best team in MLB right now...deservedly...but...hold de phone...as SD got a W...what?...hit 3 dingers...played excellent D...survived the pitching of Clay Richards...and utilized the 'closing' role of Brad Hand...ah hem, NOT in the 7th...but in his normal spot at the end!...well, he had to finish off the 8th first...a 4 out close...go figure... I'm not sure of the reason...but we revisited 'Urban Cowboy' ...the flick starring John Travolta and Debra Winger...it was fun!...it was the time that I switched over to country ...

Seeking CLOSURE

Image
You ever wonder just WHO is making all the money out there?...as many mall stores shutter their doors...the latest?...JC Penney is on the route...after revamping their style...which gives more and more empty corners and stable ones...GONE!...don't look now, but the chain restaurants are following  the pattern... Applebee's and IHOP's are the ones...they don't produce enough...and they are history... Happens all the time down here in the GQ ...restaurants and bars open...and then 6 months or so...closed up tight...with the dishes, laundry, salt and pepper, everything...in place, just before they walk out...kind of eery...hey, making dough in this society must be real hard... Hmmm...well some figure the time is ripe...to open up their store...when every one else is either scrambling or seeking finisimo.... Ivanka is unveiling hers...of course, in the Trump Tower in NYC...of course...well now, you gots to know someone...ha ha... Food ...when you go out to the g...

NOKO Menace

Morning, kids...the topic of this and the rest of the next few days...is the continuance of the problem child in North Korea ...of course, there is the anagram for them...to be used everywhere... NOKO ...his deliberate actions throughout the region of the far east...and in particular, South Korea and Japan...has the world on edge...some may say he has a death wish... The foo. ..has gone so far as to threaten the US...nothing good will come of this...you know, I wonder who on earth he has around him that advises the guy...or, are they all afraid if they speak up, he will have them killed off?...I reckon the latter... His aim to lay a missile on Guam has our forces on the ready to go list...let's hope that China can intervene and knock some sense into that foo's tiny, little brain of his...before...it's too late... Oh yea, this is the topic of all my sources... Onward... The PGA has started up the final 'major'...on yet another extremely long golf cour...

Football For Thought

Image
Just a short little ditty, as I have yet another early tee time...but I will give you fodder for your am...no doubt, the leading spectacle for many of us fans...is college football ...shoot, I even watched a rerun last eve of the '10 Civil War game...like for the unknowing...it's the UO/OSU game...ha ha... One avenue to a college education...is by getting a scholarship...to pay for your schooling... ball + books= diploma ...for a small minority of dudes, they also get to move onto to the next level of play, the NFL...here's the rub...D-1 football is big business...huge money...some have said that the players should be able to get a share of the $...as well as getting their degree paid for... The latest comment on the plight of the game...came from the now QB of the UCLA Bruins...Josh Rosen ...who, in essence, said that football and going to school, DON'T MIX!...that many guys have no duty or even, desire to step into a class room...adding more fuel for the pay for...

Respite

Hey yea all... the Horse is back at it...please excuse me absence...as we had them guests from the Northland...the Snookies...and we were a bit busy and thus... no time to write...at least coherently. ..and then...I have back to back tee times...so there you go...so I am writing in the afternoon... you may call it an afternoon delight ...wait, check that...keep it above board, CH... There were moments in the past week that there were thoughts of a change in name...as I got a new suncap...with all the rich Mexican heritage down here... Don Pedro was being bantered about...as that was what I may have resembled... but, alas, no...the Horse remains... BTW, they were fun...and outside of me burning some steaks... "I can burn steaks with the best of 'em". ..apparently, my creed... Sad news... Glen Campbell has passed on... 'Rhinestone Cowboy' ...actually, he had many hits...back when...he had a Variety Show on CBS...which was a can't miss...why isn't t...
