CRAZY HORSE

You just have to lead with the Apple Cup ...the winner of it goes to the Pac 12 Champ game...for 3 months it has been the WSU Cougs to cherish...the one team now standing in their way?...their arch nemesis and rival team from their state, the Dawgs of Washington ...who seemingly have had their number for the past 5 years...yup, a streak that doesn't sit well in the Palouse...not this year?... And then the weather hit... SNOW! ...last night...lots of it...a WINTER WONDERLAND ...how much will this affect the passing game of WSU?...well, the Dawgs, too... for the viewer, it was a delight...for the Cougs, not so much ...as the Huskies methodically whupped them at all phases of the game. ..and they, not Wash St, move on to the champ game...AND, eliminates any notion of the Cougars going to the final 4...them rivalry games... About 6 hours south of there, was the Civil War ...in Orygun...played in the bloody rain in Corvallis...alas, NO MATCH!...as the Ducks destroyed the lines...

So how was your Thanksgiving?...did ya'll have family?...we were alone...as the fits of surviving the flu left us so. ..nevertheless, we did make a turkey feast for two...which is impossible...thus, we have gads of leftovers...listen, your health...is so critical... Are you taking advantage of Black Friday? ...I watched with amazement, as our Mission Valley Best Buy opened it's doors last eve...people had camped out for over a day, anticipating the 'killer deals' that awaited them on Thanksgiving....in fact, it was a huge line...I can recall back in the day, us...waking up prior to dawn, doing the same sort of thang back in Orygun...one of the stores even gave away free coffee and cake donuts...does anyone still eat cake donuts?...I digress... The web net ...this is where one should shop, I reckon...been getting so many ads sent to me via email this past week...countless...anywhere from 20-70% off and no shipping charge...even saw where Amazon is selling present ...

Morning, kids...a Happy Thanksgiving to ya'll...hope your day is filled with joy and you're with who you want to be...with ...hmmm, it's about time to pop your turkey in the oven...well, at least on the West Coast...you Easterners are already in motion...we, having survived the flu ( or whatever), thus will be doing the 'dinner' solo. ..no reason to infect others, right?... So, I sauntered out to the Point Loma Trader Joe's ...who was READY for the onslaught of late TGiving shoppers , just like me...everything you could possibly want for YOUR meal, is there...and featured....gads of turkey breasts...ah yes, I was 'sweating' pretty good...first time out, you know...got all the fixings...and am ready...BTW, going thru that area, I noticed such cool older homes...maybe, that's our next destination for a place to move... I got a note, that after a very soulful beginning to my blog yesterday, I turned drastically to an ornery political rant ...tr...

One of the best duets of all time...and it was done, patched up in the world of modern technology... 'Unforgettable' ...sung by Nat King Cole and his daughter, Natalie ...sadly, both have passed on now...but left, is that wonderful collaboration...I bring this up, cuz that is what Thanksgiving was to our family... the grouping of both parents, the endless doctoring of 'the gravy', who was designated to bring what, Marsh's 'World Famous' salad (my Dad's name for it), turkey AND ham, NFL football games, and then later on, the pick up of our son at the airport from college, the 3+ hour drive back, as the I-5 was slammed, Cris and I sneaking out to play golf in whatever weather there was, as the women cleaned up (sorry), and now...that's what is there, the memories...not forgotten and UNFORGETTABLE! ... To put a caution flag up on your meal, there is a nationwide memo out...to NOT consume romaine lettuce ...for the entire country...if you have some,...

You like your football?...many do, as the numbers were YUGE for the Monday Nite game last eve...it was a beaut... LaLa Rams (certainly not the Chargers!) and the Kansas City Chiefs ...as it ended in a 54-51 thriller in the LA Coliseum...let's deal with that first...the site of the game... Originally tabbed for Mexico City! ...WTH?...why does the NFL farm out regular season games to there and London?...the league came up with an excuse to move it back to the USA...they said that the field in Mexico City was a mess ...well, and, of course, there would be gads more people attending the game in Los Angeles ...quit with the moving of games!... The league also put together an all star band of officials for the 'special game'...hard to see any difference to moi...as the pockets of the refs appeared to be mighty loose...lawdy they called a lot of penalties...esp against KC in the first half...just an observation, from someone who had no dawg in the fray....however, ESPN di...

The medical field tells me that it can't happen...it has nothing to do with the happenstance of getting the 'flu shot' ...but, an unsupportive two year analysis by the Horse, figures otherwise...in each of the past years, I have got the shot...and within a few days... I HAVE THE FLU!!!! ...what the Hell?...to complete the query, I have glanced at the responses to the 'who has the flu?' in Facebook ...those, some who have it now, say this, 'but I just got the flu shot!'... 24 hours of not sleeping ...that will do ya, believe me...the fever, the Excedrin, the rest, the liquids...the idea of the Brat diet...this after, the ultimate self destruction that I went thru, and I will spare you the gory details...finally, as the evil, whatever it is, passes thru my system, I have the wants and desires of SLEEP!!! ...so, I take some NyQuil Extreme ...BTW, have you ever tried to open those packages, when you are weak and weary?...takes a pair of scissors and then, I d...
