Time Stands Still

Morning, kids...we have 16 days 'til Christmas...just in case you are delaying your shopping...seems to be a crucial time, if you are using the web net...well, probably have this week to get the order(s) in...right?...as you know, I am listening to Holiday Music as I am writing this am...makes me thinks this...

Isn't it wonderful this music thing?...from years gone past, for many of the songs...as Time Stands Still...some of the singers are no longer in the living...but, their voices are!...they left us with those treasures, and their ability...product, may be a better description...in the past (weird intro) I have listed my favorites...but, not this time...just a generic idea...do what I am doing, and it will brighten up your day...at least, start your day off right...

The same can be said about movies...think about all the ones that the pixels play from like the 30's on up...if made well, puts you right back into time...in that particular era...so cool...I'm not really getting nostalgic, just stating a neat part of life...who says 'neat' anymore?...I digress...so, too, find a good flick for this evening, and get lost in time...as yes, Time Stands Still...

Just came thru my Beats, was a song by Bobby Vee...remember him?...didn't recall him making an Xmas song...'A Christmas Wish'...see what I mean?...my fav song of his was 'Take Good Care of My Baby'....

Odd how the day seems so much nicer, when you play a good round of golf...the sun seems warmer, the people appear to smile more, the food tastes better, and the beer seems colder...I dunno, maybe it has nothing to do with it...but, yesterday, I played well, and the rest of the afternoon was grand...neat...

Got back in time to see the 2nd half of another thing that happens to be floating in near animation...the Army/Navy football game...each year, a classic...both teams run antiquated offenses...the triple option...as the Black Knights won their 3rd match with the Middies in a row...it is always fun to watch the pomp and circumstance of the game...and get this...at the conclusion of it all, each school plays and sings their alma mater...and BOTH teams go and stand at the opponents side while that happens...does that happen anywhere else?...

Not sure why, but I am finding myself NOT pulling for the Lake Show...for all of the abilities of LeBron, I also find him disgustingly absent, when it comes to defense...if you want a kick, when watching the LaLa Lakers, focus in on James when they don't have the ball...standing around and well, you get me drift...

I noticed last nite, there were so many more trees lit up surrounding our building...guess they are just slow moving getting in the mood...back to back 'ing' is called what?...and should not be written like that...geez...anyhoo, there are loads of units with Xmas lights on...neat...

So...here is the real deal...what do YOU want for Christmas?...you gonna wait for someone to get it for you?...or, are you one of those, who go out and get it for yourself?...I mean, it's all about YOU, right?...OK, I am jesting...YOU really are trying to get the perfect gift for your family...and it's better, if it is a surprise, right?...

Finally, are you one of the few (apparently) who still get the newspaper delivered at your door?...we do...the Trib's sport page is a good one...but, the Sunday edition has the Super Suduko, too...which I have NEVER been able to solve...and it is the trigger to my keeping the paper...ha ha...just as soon, as I master it, the subscription will be terminated...

Neat...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

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...
