CRAZY HORSE

The weekend ...ah yes, the weekend...as the upcoming WEEK will be full of surprises...this, that, and whatever...some things I can't get into and some I can... the most obvious is the interrogation of Trump's personal attorney of 12+ years, Michael Cohen ...on the Congressional floor...that you and I can judge for ourselves...as to his validity in what he says,  and to what degree he might divulge into the life of Trump...but RIGHT now, these 2 days of rest are needed and necessary. .. Dang, we could be here<<<...as pictured in Maui ...now THAT would be a weekend... Of course, the nite of Sunday is the Academy Awards ...always an eye opener to fashion, to the winner's speeches, and the length of the entire broadcast...hmmm, I'm not sure if the party that was planned will be pulled off...the one at the Theater Box...gotta believe the $15 buck a head cost, is a stumbling block for some of my rich friends...talk about irony... So much talk about the Muel...

The audacity of Roger Stone ...you DO know who he is?...of course, YOU do...the confidant of Trump...who put out the picture of the residing Judge in HIS case, with her pix in crosshairs...let's be honest here...the Judge slapped a TOTAL gag order on him...as his defiance reached a new high...I am SURPRISED that she didn't throw him into the slammer...listen, kids, I still think he THINKS he can say or do whatever he wants, EVEN to a Judge....because he expects a PARDON from the Boss... Bear with me...on this...the layers are being stripped away...as Michael Cohen (Trumps personal attorney for 12 years) was in the Congressional House yesterday, for over 3 hours...in preparation for his testimonies next week...the announced schedule for him...is for 2 days of interrogation BEHIND closed doors...and then ONE day in front of the WORLD!...there are those who are reporting, that he will bring 'CHILLS' to the listening Congressionals and US...as the Boss is out of the co...

Hey, kids...as we dig out of our frigid temp down here in SoCal...the mood is improving...egads, the use of the heat mode on our Nest is near a constant...have you switched over to the auto thermostat replacement yet?... can be altered by your 'smart' phone, or by YOUR VOICE...thru 'Alexa' ...well, look into it...man, I could never figure out the old one we had...this is sooo simple... My blog title today of 'Culmination' ...refers to some thangs that are about to come due...some court cases, the Oscar stuff, the Mueller Report...to name a bunch ...as they play out in the next week or so...reportedly.... The first ...is the calamity in court in NY, where the one and only... Roger Stone makes an appearance...this, after him publishing a picture of his judge, with her pix in crosshairs... he MUST think he is above the law ...and, figures he is going to get a PARDON from his good friend, the Boss...thus, he can say or do whatever he wants...stay tuned to t...

It seemed like no more than a wish list thang...that we, the San Diego Padres , were in the pecking list of signing the two BIG free agents out there...Manny Machado and Bryce Harper ...as, what the pundits say 'SD is a SMALL market team, and can't afford the likes of the two available... '...well, that is not the truth, right?...as we did the remarkable... SIGNED MACHADO! ...its a reported 10 yr deal, with an opt out after 5 years... So...where does that put the Padres? ...the acquisition of Manny at 3B, and Ian Kinlser at 2B, last year's free agent signing of Eric Hosmer at 1B...add the rookie SS...mighty diff look...the OF is set...the C's are, too...we have young throwers on the mound...in the crystal ball, I see us moving one of our young OF's for a starting pitcher... This is a major step in the positive, kids...hang on...and this whisper is still out there... that we are not OUT of the Bryce Harper deal. ..what?...that has to be the ultimate wish...

BREAKING NEWS!!!   Manny Machado a Padre!!!   reported 10 year contract, with an opt out after 5... This is an absolute MUST for ya'll...find it On Demand , or whatever you have to search for a show that just aired on the pixels... NBC's 'Elvis All Star Tribute' ...based on the production by Elvis Presley in the year of 1968 ...done in the 'round', so to speak...it actually was done in the 'square'...but, c'mon, nobody says that... Hosted by Blake Shelton ...and a wide range of singing stars did covers of Elvis songs...and they did MARVELOUSLY! ...who is Post Malone? ...seen him twice in the past week or so...like on the Grammy's too...there were some outstanding deliveries...hmmm, there wasn't a bad one...the best?...eye of the beholder, but... the topper was by Carrie Underwood , 'How Great Thou Art' ...tell me when you watch this, that it didn't bring tears to your eyes... Two more Demos have announced that they ...

This is the day to honor our top position in the USA...we call it 'Presidents Day' ...most of the pictures include Washington and Lincoln ...right?...that are the symbols for the celebration...around here in SoCal, they have already used the day up for the festivities...schools closed, the parking meters not checked, no mail....and thus, the golf courses slammed...I digress...but, Nationally, it is today ... Back in school, I had a hard time connecting to the importance of history. ..geez, reminder to all of you, that was like 50+ years ago...didn't take long after, that I changed 180*...and found 'the past' so interesting and necessary... became a voracious reader...well, I started to read books ...got hooked into the light bios of the famous people of the past...FDR, Ike, and then... JFK , in real depth...it actually took the assassination of him, to really get me going... And since that horrific day, the TV became the vessel of knowledge and information....

For a while, time went back...like in the glory days...when the crowd went ballistic...as they witnessed the best golfer, EVER!...put a string of 4 holes together in LaLa Land...I'm talking Tiger Woods ...as he started his 3rd round like this... Birdie-Eagle-Birdie-Birdie!!! ...listen, it makes no difference if he can keep that up...like who can?...but, it happened...and for most of us, AGAIN!... It's like watching Michael Jordan going off, whupping all the youngins...again...at the age of 40 something...or seeing Tom Brady destroying defenses in the NFL, packed with all that youth...ready to destroy him...as he wins another championship...like P Nolan Ryan , striking out all the dudes who are making 5 times as much as he...makes...at 40 something... So, Tiger picks back up where he left off...at the same time that I am writing this am...and this day will be long...most of the field has most of round 3 to complete...take a sandwich break, and get on out and play the 4t...
