Back At Work
Well, it is now back OPEN...albeit, it is for a couple of weeks...as Congress works on a more substantial compromise...not sure why it is so hard to do...but it is...yet none of my sources have this as their lead headline...not one of them...but, if the day got to 4...it would have been...apparently...
The Oscars...the ultimate pretty person award if you are an actor...listed this year's nominees...alas, the headline was not that, but that James Franco did not get one...they are blaming it on his sex stuff...there you go...something about 'Water' got like 13 noms...of course, we have seen none of the flicks...zero...nada...zilch...
A huge earthquake hit Alaska in the early am...like 7.9 or so...and gave the tsunami warning up and down the west coast...like at 4 am...and since has been lifted...all done while we were asleep...mother nature at work...
Neil Diamond...has now been diagnosed with Parkinson's...so sad...he has gained recent fame for his song 'Sweet Caroline'...that the MLB's Boston Red Sox featured during their hey days...I really like 'Cracklin' Rosie'...it reminds me of the time when I just graduated from college...and was playing pool at 'the bar'...'The Museum'...a place that soon after got shot up...one of the first reported mass shootings...really...so tragic...
The NBA...it's the time of the way too long season, that teams start trying to fix their problems...ha ha...the Bucks gave their HC Jason Kidd, the heave ho...yea, that'll work...the Cavs, did the closed door team meeting...yea, they NEVER work...air the grievances...the reported whipping boy, Oregon's own, Kevin Love...oh my...yea, he's 6'10' playing center...can't jump...his fault...
Gotta stay with the Cavs a bit longer...there has been a virus in their system for a couple of years...their G, Kyrie Irving, wanted out...and got traded to the Celts...in came another problem...Isiah Thomas...short, hogs the ball, can't defend, and worse of all, has an attitude...one word to describe 'em...implode...
My Tennessee Titans hired their new HC...Mike Vrabel...isn't there some vowels missing in his name?...I digress...made a statement to the press...that ruffled some feathers...called the NCAA as the 'farm system' for the NFL...ie, the two best at it...'Bama's Nick Saban and the Buckeye's Urban Meyer...I suppose he is right...but, if you look at the rosters of the teams in the league...they are from everywhere in the Nation, ie, the D-3 teams...hmmm...
A tid bit...that is included in the sides of many web sites...one on AOL caught me eye...'Stars Who Can't Stand Oprah'...there you go...click on that...and it will show you the names...with countless amounts of ads...that one has to sift through...name the names...not too sure YOU want to be on that list...
We watched a show I bought through iTunes...'Carrie Underwood's Storybook Tour'...she is...AMAZING!...if you can get it, it is worth every dime...er, dollar...filmed in Madison Sq Garden...NYC...hmmm, odd, but we've never been there...you can thank me later...
The talk around town....well, in the golfing part of it...is that Tiger E. Woods is playing in the Farmer's out at Torrey Pines this week...a place that he has won 8 times...egads...eight?...we are going on Sunday (maybe Saturday)...with them Gahrs...they are true golf nuts...well, they are true nuts...period...great peops...let's hope there is one Woods in contention...
Finally, is it that hard to get the paper delivered on time?....or, at all?...we have had issues repeatedly with the Trib...is it the carrier or the paper company?...man, they ask a lot of cash for it...any more of this...and we may be like most of the country...paperless...it is aggravating...
Can't we all just get along?...
