CRAZY HORSE

A giddy top of the morn to you all!...it's the weekend...any plans?...we are heading over to Petco Park for the Padres/Redlegs game this eve...then mañana, are working our way to Shelter Island, Humphrey's...for a concert by the Monkees...well, the two remaining ones...let's talk... a little Horse Sense ... The Padres game has some luster, I suppose...throw out last night's debacle, and the team has been on the upswing...and for added incentive, it is Hawaiian Pad Shirt giveaway nite...who can resist that?...we are sitting in the Omni Club seats...so, if lucky, get the seats up by the food...if not, we are down with the commoners...dependent on luck and timing... pictured here are our TV voices of the Padres ... Don Orsillo (wearing the Hawaiian shirt) and Mark (Mudcat) Grant ... 'Hey hey, we're the Monkees' ...take Uber or Lyft to the concert... Mickey Dolenz and Mike Nesmith, are the ones that perform ...this is a 'Marsh need to see' o...

The NBA finals ...game numero uno in Alameda... wasn't that a doozy! ...I'm going to give you the official Horse Analysis , absolutely free of charge... Cleveland Cavs at the Golden St Warriors ...an OT thriller , filled with moments of frustrations, great plays, questionable officiating, and the underlying item, the point spread...here we go...er, I go... 1.  How on earth can anyone, ie Vegas, not see that this will be a tightly contested series? ...the ludicrous 12 1/2 point spread on game one was just that...as I suggested, take the points...duh...even though, there were scary moments of point differential in the overtime...in the regular game, not so... 2 .  Final minute of regulation...a drive to the hoop by Kev Durant...a collision just outside of the 'no contact' semi circle...as LeBron James took the hit...and here we go...the most hotly debated call in hoops... block or charge? ...on replay, you could see one ref start to call block, and one doing the sa...

You a hoop junkie? ...if so, this final series in the NBA is fer ya...the most complete basketball players on the planet are meeting up...mind you, for the 4th straight year. ..the dudes are LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kev Durant ...representing their teams, Cleveland Cavs and the Golden St Warriors ...promises to be like the other 3...seasons...close... Vegas has other ideas ...making the Dubs a prohibitive fav...NOOOOO...Lebron is too good for that to happen, kids...the Cavs will come up with pressure D, that restricts the Warriors from the free wheeling that they like to do...to most everyone else...now, I am not saying that the Alameda team will not win the set...as I pull for them... IFF (math term) they make James play D , it is going to be a quick finals...isolate him on switches...with the amount of time he stays on the floor...it would be the ticket...so there, make THAT , the key to the games... The lovable Padres got another win...did I say ANOTHER?. ..last ...

Egads, all me blokes have deserted me for the tee time this am...trips and the like, so here I sit... golf free ...so, maybe it is time to do the necessary job, of cleaning up my Mac ...you know, get rid of useless (to me) apps and programs...lawdy, I have a zillion of 'em and don't use but a few...how about you?...shoot, I don't even know most of the symbols... Safari, yes...iTunes, yes...SONOS, yes...Pandora, yes...well, you get my drift ...but go into your finder, hit applications and gaze at all the apps you have...and then make sure you don't use them...drag the unused ones to the waste bucket...and VOILA!, you have done some cleaning... I do have one of them 'clean up the computer' apps ...that sifts thru all your data, I guess, and then wipes it out...I guess...not sure if it really does it...you know, it's not like olden times, where the computer would get stuck...too much stuff on it...and it would freeze up...haven't had that dilemma in...

Morning, ya'll ...how's it hangin'?...we are starting out with another cloud cover here in the hood...they call it 'May Gray' around these parts....and it is a truth, my good friends...breaks up around 10ish...and then the sun emerges...never too hot, never too cold...them 100* days are for those spots east of us...we wallow about in the 70* range for most of the year... The 7th and final game in Houston was a doozy!...of course, I am a Golden State fan , of their style of play...and really did not think they would pull it off...especially down by 11 at halftime, I sensed the impending doom...but, they rebounded with terrific energy and made some critical shots...chased the Beard down...and the rest of the Rockets could not find the hoop...in fact, they went thru a span of 27 missed 3 point shots...there you go...live by the 3, die by the 3...they are done... There are lots of finger pointing...by Houston ...officiating, they are saying...give me a break......

Of all the holidays, this one is certainly worthy...to honor the fallen soldiers of this country...regardless of the battles they were in...they were doing their duty...and gave the biggest sacrifice one can...yes, this is a day of days...we honor them all...on this, MEMORIAL DAY! 1968 ...did you watch the CNN Special that aired last night?...terrifying and terrific at the same time...one of the producers is the actor and I suppose, activist, is Tom Hanks...the deaths of both MLK and RFK in the first 6 months was devastating to us...guns...lordy, we are still battling the guns...except now, we are dealing with rapid fire ones, as well...this is also the ongoing battle with Vietnam time...riots in our streets...LBJ announces he is not running for the next presidency...the list goes on...such a lot of commotion, in a condensed period of time...you MUST watch it.... LeBron ...dominated the game last eve...as the Cavs roll on...to the finals...geez, if the Celts just made half of the...

An extended weekend...what a terrific time to go on a little journey about the area...taking in 'Open Houses' ...and of course, with the lil woman being a realtor, getting into houses that are not open, too...yes, we went a House Hunting ...accompanied by our internal expert, and perennial open house participant, our son...who does this exact thing in the Santa Barbara region almost weekly....we sauntered into the market that has been intriguing us for quite awhile...where we actually had a deal in the past year, for one day...then we backed out... However, after seeing some doable properties , and some that would stretch out the pocket book a bit... you know I am on a fixed income ...we sat down for some lunch at a 'local' establishment and did some soul searching ...actually, some deep conversations of what would we be getting and what would we be losing ...with the underlying issue always being the cash flow... Activity versus the solitude of a neighborhood ...
