The Here and Now

Image
The one thing that gets me real bad, is how fast life races on ...the reminder of the number of candles on the birthday cake...ah, if you still celebrate 'em...but, YOU know...geez, I am starting on a Debbie Downer ...stop!...my point is, what would I go back and change over time? ...of course, lots...sure seems easy looking back what I should have done...and so on...but, in the grand scheme of things... I love where I am at, with whom I am with, and love my family ...gosh, what else is there?...enough of that, Horse...let's delve into the Here and Now ... This version of the NBA... the LaLa Lakers are coming together. ..even better and quicker than I imagined...they have many options that can swing a game... inside, outside, defensively, vets, and it now appears, camaraderie within their squad. ..which just may be the biggest asset of them all...after an opening season loss, they have won all the rest...this may be one of those dominating teams that were of the past...whe...

In The Desert

Hi, kids, I am back from the golf getaway...something like that...where the apparent closure of golf courses continues...as the site that we normally play in Borrego Springs ...did just that... the Resort ...that will try to continue on, without the golf...the restaurant and the hotel...hmmm...you see, the summer there, is brutal...and when the owners reconvened to bring it back to life...felt it was a losing proposition...and never reopened ...too bad... Thus, the Bozo brass scrambled ...found a place that would take our sorry arses on... a PRIVATE course , De Anza ...I must say, with beautiful houses surrounding the site...and thriving...listen, it was a beautiful golf course....very very green...lush...with high rough, grass rough...interesting to have that in the desert... rumor is that this course bought out the Borrego Springs resort's water rights... In essence, the De Anza people have the money... the rich survive ...so, the same weeding out of golf courses continu...

It's Christmas Time?

What on earth is going on?...the bubble has burst... Disney started it...now, the rest of the companies feel like they may be left behind...and here are the Christmas commercials on the tele!... November 4, kids ...brace yourself for the onslaught...geez, does that mean I have to get the tree out?...well, I do lurve the season, but not two months worth...ah, buy that special item now...cuz, it may be gone by December... Tragedy in Mexico ...appears that a family was wiped out by a mistaken gang hit...US family, reportedly of the Mormon faith...sketchy info thus far, but is there a black SUV involved?...meaning that the deceased used that as their way about?...numbers I have read this am are at 9... Stay tuned to this little covered story...but the bloke behind many of Teerump's early political shenanigans, Roger Stone , is in court...fighting to stay out of prison...the trial starts up this am...picking the jury, and the rest may go tomorrow...he was behind the infamous say...

7 and Holding

The AP and the Coaches Football polls ...have the UO Ducks as number 7...yet again. ..even after a thorough slashing of the USC Trojans...as the number 8 team last week, LEAPFROGGED Oregon...of course, we are talking the SEC's Georgia ...as they beat Florida...so, you may think I am upset about it...naw...there are games to go...and the polls will alter quite a bit in the next month... if you are a Duckee faithful, hang in there ...just win, baby... It was not a form day for the NFL yesterday...as two established teams got upset... the Pats were done in by the Ravens...who, in me estimation are a very good team...and the Pack got beat in the tiny LaLa field by the, gulp, Spanos Chargers...listen, kids, never, ever, bet on the NFL... Over on the other coast in DC... what has the Congress in store for Teerump? ...more people stepping up and talking about what really happened in the 'perfect' phone call ...as he bellows out 'read the transcript' ...ah, well th...

Beat Down

My news from the old, yet, grandiose, Memorial Coliseum in LaLa Land ...is that the Ducks of Oregon are alive and well, simply on a mission to win the Pac 12 ...never been in that area, proved to be a test in itself...which appeared to be a simple jaunt up the 405 to the stadium was clearly...NOT!...the atmosphere is much different than anything I have run in to...hmmm, I know I am being pretty generic...but... My takeaways from the experience...outside of the fact that the Ducks are dang good ...is that there are interesting folks everywhere...we were sitting in the midst of nuttin' but Trojan fans...as some may say 'Ducks out of water'. ..there was an incident, that the PNW invader was involved in...that's it, my lips are sealed...what happens in USC, stays in SC...ha ha... USC does a thing that bugs the crap out of moi...they put their nationally renowned band in a spot on the end of the field, all by their lonesome...BUT...they then pipe their sound, via hu...
