Kennedy Center Honors

Each and every year, the Kennedy Center Honors some legendary artists...usually in the presence of the acting President...sure, not this time...HE was not in attendance...but 3 of the honored I recognized...the authors of the play 'Hamilton', the country sanger, Reba McIntire, and the gal who has done it all, singer, movie actress, and a thespian...Cher...the other two, I did not...Wayne Shorter and Philip Glass...out of my genre...

The gig is to have others play their music...to 'HONOR' them...it is quite cool and very classy...hence, Donny not being there...I digress...there were some wonderful renditions of the songs that made these people so warranted...from Kelly Clarkson to Brooks and Dunn to Little Big Town to Cyndi Lauper...but the best of the best was the Cher song 'Believe' performed by Adam Lambert...which even brought tears to the eyes of Cher...you MUST hear it...haunting...

As I was a writing yesterday, I normally have my fill of Trump's Tweets to ponder through...but, alas, NONE!...might he be sick?...did his Wi-Fi go down?...White House lose power?...his Tweeter dude accidentally put in the Government Shut Down?...the answer was...he and his present wife, Melania, were secreting a trip to visit our troops in Iraq...OK...the press was making a big deal that he was the ONLY Prez that hasn't visited our military during the Holiday Season...thus, his(their) flight...

Was that the reason for the 1,000 point jump in the Stock Market?...the people thought he was gone?...ha ha...don't cash the check yet, kids...the word is out is that he is back...and the Market is gonna fall today...just knew it was too good to be true...I could go on, but naw, just listen to the pixels unravel the propaganda that he threw at the troops...which were, as per usual, lies...

The intercept bowl...these ridiculous, monotonous, college football games...with teams that are barely 500...no worse than the one out of 'Zona...where TCU (geez, that coach is gonna have a coronary) and Cal, belabored the point of mediocrity...there were NINE interceptions in the game...and, of course, it was an OTer...where an interception was the point of doom for the Golden Bear...oh yea, there was one of them bowl games that was canceled...the weather was too dangerous to play the game...and the schools involved, announced that they would refund the price of the tickets to those 689 people who purchased them...

Not sure if I have ever seen the amounts of collegiate football bowlers NOT play in the games...some for saving themselves for the NFL, and some for disciplinary reasons...none worse than at Clemson, where the players failed a drug test...what?...however, one that is playing and staying the course, the QB from the UO Ducks, Herbert...which does make them a real force for the bowl and for NEXT season...it's a good thing...

Day 6 of Trump's Shut Down of the Government...with no end in sight, so it is said in the Washington Post...ah yes, now that Donny is back, and so must be his pseudo Tweeter person, he let this out...'that most of the people that are not being paid, or are out of a job, are Democrats'...that is YOUR Prez talking...of course, he has all the tools to find out what party the people are...what a piece...

Is that a reference that those who actually DO THE WORK are Democrats?...that those who do the bossing around are, gulp. Republicans...geez, how do you spell I-M-P-E-A-C-H?...

News out of yesteryear...that back in '68, Donny got out of the service, he had bone spurs in his feet...according to the Dr's daughters, it was done as a favor for the daddy, Fred...me thinks the bones, were a bit higher, like all the way up in his cabeza...I digress...

Man, I feel like I am purnt near TMZ, with what I have been telling ya'll...here's one for the books...Miley is off the market...allegedly...as she is rumored to be hitched, like for real...for some, this is big news, for others, like moi, Jimmy crack corn...

Are you like me on this?...the present day handheld phones are now about to go 5G...what the heck?...what's the difference from 3G to 4G to whatever?...I have absolutely NO clue...do you?...

Opening day up at Santa Anita....met up with HDCP Andy (we found him, ah, inside joke) and had a jolly good time...too late for the Pick 5, but gave it a go for the Pick 6, and got 4 winners...which pays...nuttin'...

And that's the way it is...on this cool morning here in SD...49*...where's my stocking cap?...

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
