Memorial Weekend

Image
Listen all, you must show some common sense these 3 days, in particular...as you recognize the fallen on this Memorial Day Weekend ...there have been restrictions lifted...BUT... double masking in public places is a MUST! ...don't let your guard down...especially, if you get one or two drinks under your belt...ah, why is this a saying?...I digress...I was noticing people getting out, and eating at the restaurants....as shown on Facebook...mask less... NO! ...do your part...it is for the best of ALL of us... There will be a rush to the coast ...well, at least in the warm states...please please please, work at this... keep your distance ...I guess I can't say enough...out at the golf course, we follow that double masking to a T...why T?...I digress again...anyhoo...do it... BE SAFE!... Am really looking forward to the Tiger/Lefty golf match tomorrow. ..with the 2 QB's, Tom Terrific and Peyton ...they carrying their own bags or driving carts?...I dunno...and the wo...

Making Sense

Morning, kids... the Horse made a little mistake yesterday and is paying for it this am...opened up the Suntory Toki for a taste...which led to a comparison to a US made one ...then, to a 'Two Georges' one ...(jorj?)...and then, well you get my drift here ...me head is achin' a tad... very bad Horse ...anyhoo, the Toki was not good...nope...will have to save it for the good fellow from the PNW for his opinion...ah, this quarantine!... The restaurants and retail stores are all abuzz around here...as they prepare for their openings. ..figuring out how to do it... the social distancing notwithstanding ...well, there is NO standing allowed ...thus, all the bars are still shuttered...gosh, that will change 5th Avenue so much...wonder if they will close the street totally, and put chairs out? ...I see that 'they' are doing that somewhere in the East Village ...stay tuned... I saw on Facebook the item that had me a bit concerned...wonder how much truth there i...

Throwback, Way Back

Image
I am going to be perfectly honest with you... not sure why I would say that, cuz I am ALWAYS so. ..anyhoo...way way back, like in the early days...there is this pix of moi...as we were on a trip to... San Diego! ... mid 70's...in our VW camper van ...would never have imagined that we would end up...there...or, here...listen, kids...I don't ever remember having a full beard ...true dat...well, here is proof that I did...not sure who had this pix...maybe Marsh...notice the nice short shorts , ah for the men at that era of time...and, the dark hair... gone, all gone ...ha ha...now this is a Throwback Thursday ... Watched a show that features the old Tonight Show host, Jay Leno ...more honesty here...I did not think he was funny...nor, a good host...and a far cry from his predecessor, the great Johnny Carson ...NBC should have hired David Letterman ...but, that is another story...back to Leno...he has this series that has him with 'famous' people... riding in cars and ...

The Complaining is Over

Stop the search...yes, kids... the stimulus arrived! ...I had heard of others this week, getting the check...lo and behold in our checking account...voila!...it was there...direct deposit...and yea, I have heard of those of you out there, that got the hard copy...the one signed by Big Orange...but still...have not seen one on the web net...if you received one like that, make a copy and send the facsimile to moi...somehow...redact your name, of course... In the sports world, there is a lot of talk about starting up MLB ...beisbol...gosh, there are so many hangups during the pandemic...I don't see how they are going to do it...just the numbers on the bench pose a problem...6 ft apart?...where do they stay on the roadies?...are the hotels even open?...very few around here...if any...restaurants?...the list is enormous...seems to me, that there has to be a lot of 'opening ups' for this to succeed... My good friend out of the PNW...mentioned the whiskey made in Japan ...sa...

Surging Stocks

Image
It was a banner day for the Stock Market ...one might call it 'surging' ...almost up 1,000 points in the DOW. ..help me out here, just... WHY? ...as the World is embroiled in this catastrophe...some say it was due to the mention of a vaccine for it was imminent...others say it was due to the rumor of the Fed staying stable...yea, who knows?... this blogster says it's the rich doing what they do ...wheeling and dealing in their own little world...but, I am like most of you, we don't know what and why...today?...the Futures say it will be a level day... Big Orange ...oh my...his latest commentary is making waves...as he confessed to taking the malaria drug...for his protection from the virus...hydro_______... whatever it is called...his doctors are baffled, as it is not scientifically proven, as a deterrent...but, c'mon, when has he ever followed orders...or, science?...Nancy Pelosi, the, well, you know who she is... called his personal cure, as dangerous for ...

Monday Morn

Image
Hey all, it's a new week...and we hope for newness?...right? ...of course we do...so Facebook has come up with something to occupy your mind... a personal emoji , to use as your picture...kind of fun...takes a bit of time, to put yourself in it...i s it just me, or are most of these...pix of the participants looking quite youngish?.. .ha ha...add the facial lines, kids...it's OK...I did mine, and have to admit... I resemble the colonel of the fried chicken store ...back to the drawing board... I wanna look young, too... the real name of these silly things, is avatar ... Idol 'crowned' their winner ... Just Sam ...yes, I think that she was the best...but, the final show, was quite boring...outside of the final number, 'We Are The World' , written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. ..and sung by the Idol finalists and some Idol alumni...it was great...but, unlike many of their other final shows, the alumni did not perform, otherwise...too bad, as that is ...

Live

Image
Hey all, so the Golf Network decided to air a 'LIVE' golf match...between 4 of the better Pros out there... Rory, DJ, Rickie, and M Wolfe ...ah, the last dude, NOT in the same breath...but, what the heck...the thing that got me, was the lack of the characters that the tour has...these are nice guys, but not the personalities that do exist...it's OK through...and I did watch some of it... oh yea, the dudes carried their own bags...!... Later on is a similar event, Tiger , Lefty , and the 2 Qb's, TT and Peyton ...I think it shall be more entertaining...just a guess... Also, somewhat 'LIVE' is the finals of Idol ...down to 7...will quickly drop 2...then the last 5 will battle it out...as the production has to scramble to make it a go...very hard to do...this is tonight... expect some Idol alumni to show up and perform, too ...not Kelly or Carrie, but it will suffice...yes, I will watch this...hey, the star on the rise, Gabby Barrett , is scheduled...you ca...
