Monumental

Morning, kids...no bigger item of the day, then the peace talks of the Koreas!...this is MONUMENTAL...listen, it has been since about '53...yes, around 1953...that these two countries have been near war...with their demilitarized zone...so famous for what it is...

Talks of reducing arms, and we are speaking in terms of nuclear free...good not only for them, but the entire WORLD...and to think it all started with the collaboration of the countries for the Winter Olympics...maybe...

Fingers crossed that this is real...this obliterates any of the items that follow...

Here are those other thangs...

Bill Cosby was convicted...and he still wanted to have the last word...popped off to the accusing lawyer, out loud, in court, mind you...makes no diff what he said...he still thinks he is above the common man...guess again, Bill...

Talk about out of character...Paul Ryan, dismissed the House Chaplain...he is the one that gives the daily prayer for Congress...what?...no reasons given...just odd...

All right you NFL junkies...the draft of round one is complete...and yup, 4 QB's were taken in the top 10....the Browns took the Heisman Trophy winner, Baker Mayfield, of Oky...all these 4 have a great chance of success...I'm not a fan of one...the 10th pick and the bloke from UCLA...the Rosen kid...'Zona took him...good luck, Cards...it's a tough league, and he's a puss...ha ha...

Lost in the quarterback mania...was the later on pick by the Seattle Seahawks...who drafted their dude...the RB out of San Diego State!...Rashaad Penny...I have watched him all season...he is the REAL deal...great pick, Pete...(Carroll)...I may now take on the 'Hawks as one of my teams...

Amazon...you know, them...do you order from them?...amazingly fast!...in some cases, the items arrive in the next day...really...well, they offer a 'Prime' thang...I think it comes with free shipping...well, they are raising that rate...of course...you hear this?...Amazon is gonna stream Thursday Nite NFL games for the next 2 years....hmmm....well, NOBODY likes Thursday games...

A boy outside of the Vatican...approached the Pope...BTW, this is not a joke...asked if his atheist dad, now deceased, is in Heaven...he was a good father...what do you think the answer was?...

ABBA is back together...are releasing two new songs...not my type of music, but sure tickles the ear buds of lots of others...

We have marble floor in most of our condo...and it is a bear to make shine...well, we hired this dude to do so...what a diff!...fuggit about doing it yourself, kids...he has the stuff...the web net will lead you astray...he is the...'Stone Doctor'...superior...

Them mighty Pads had the day off...well, they were traveling back from yet another dismal road trip...in the minds of the players, there just has to be this nagging thought...'are we this bad?'...

It has taken me a full week to recoup from the food poisoning...really...and I still have scars on me lips to show for it...turn away, I am hideous...

Tonight we have a concert over at the Balboa Theater...a 5 block walk....way cool...and the entertainer is?...none other than Art Garfunkel...yes, half of the infamous  Simon and Garfunkel...first time to see him....you have a favorite?...mine is his version of 'I Only Have Eyes For You'...did you know that this song was actually written in...gulp...1934!.. by Harry Warren and Al Dubin...for the film 'Dames'...most of us heathens, liken the 'modern' version by the Flamingos...which was put out in 1959...go ahead, and give Art's a spin...

Breaking...the NBA did admit that the crucial 'block' by LeBron James in the last few seconds of the Pacer/Cav game...was indeed a 'goal tend' and should have been 2 points for Indy...our bad, so sad, you lose...
