Happy New Year!

How'd you ring in the newest of the years?...2018...we had a problem, Houston...we started early...as we ventured out to Callaway to pick up our shipment of wine...you know, we are CLUB members...lah tee dah...and...after an extended tasting time...and 4 more bottles to tote home...let's just say, it is very fortunate that it is walking distance home...

Watching the east coast, in particular, Manhattan...do the New Year thing sufficed...lawdy, it was coooollld there...tried to stay up for all the 'ball dropping' thinger...did so with CNN and their doofus hosts...but, ABC and Fox, did a delay bit for us west coasters...boo...thus, did NOT see the infamous Mariah Carey song...or, Britney's rendition of her past hit, for that matter...boo...thus, can't do the Horse review on either of them...

Will say that, there was so much noise at midnight here in the Q, that it did awake us...these party animals...imagine, here at the home...the partiers were clanging their canes against their walkers...too much for the Horse...

Regardless, it is the start of a new year...I'm a wondering how many of my watches say 1 on them for the calendar...and yes, as much as I procrastinate and say I won't...I will do the resolution thing...here is mine...situps and pushups every day...and work out thrice a week...cut back on lunches...things that I CAN DO!...yup, I will start today...what, if any, are yours?...do share...maybe I can use them...too...

The Titans are IN THE PLAYOFFS!...yes, albeit the wild card...but, who the heck cares how...this is a big deal for Mariota!  and all Duck fans...their match is versus KC...a chance...and almost as good...that eliminated the Spanos Chargers!!!...hate that bastard...man, I have been saying that word a lot...I am sorry, but not for calling Spanos a bastard...TENNESSEE!...

This is also the time that many of the franchises make moves...er, fire their head coach...cuz, they didn't make the playoffs...I call this the silly season...no matter what you all say, you have to have quality players to WIN...it's the GM's that should get the axe...not the coaches...says me...so far, Chicago, Indy, and Oakland, canned theirs...I'm sure there are more to come...the silly season...

FOG here...what the heck?...and it is coolllddd...like 55*...witness me stocking cap, that I tote during the night walk...where is my 70* stuff?...out at the GC, it gets down to like 39* in the am...when I tee off...but that is diff from here...30 minutes due east...

Yes, this is the day, that separates the winners and the losers for the bowl pix...Saturday's games did me in...lost all 4...and need a miracle of correct, er lucky, games...not holding on to much hope...

What was that reference to 'adult diapers' in the interviews of the party goers...in Times Square...???...that can't mean?...egads, that would be the worst, er the smelliest...can't imagine...

We listened to some vintage vinyl again yesterday...Sinatra, Mathis, and Streisand...if you haven't looked into a new turntable...maybe give it a try...it is so rich and rewarding...maybe start yourself on a new hobby...finding old 33's and treasuring them...good stuff...

This, my good friends, is the first post of 2018...let's make it a great year!

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
