The Father's Day

Remembrances...of times past...the 'here and now' is so important, kids...we take it for granted...that 'they' will always be in their home...doing their thing...answering your letters (well, that may be the only way they know), taking your phone calls (landline), or, if they are hip...reading your emails, your texts, and taking your cell phone calls...even, the 'live' video chats...do this...if 'they' are still with us...make sure you contact 'them'...however 'they' can get them...pictured above, is my father and our son, Cris...

I see on the web net, so many peops posting of their pappy from whenever...it is part of life, kids...get with the program and make contact...while you still can...OK, my sermon is over...now, let's just enjoy the day...watching golf and beisbol...ha ha...

The mighty(!) Padres are back at it...won their 3rd straight at home last eve...exciting form...as Jr went down with an injury...replaced by the South Korean Kim...who then turned out to be the hero, blasting a 2 run home run to win the game for SD...fun stuff...and we have one more with Cincy today...then the bloody Bums come in...

The US Open...out at Torrey...is going to be a doozy of a finish...so many blokes within a few strokes...an angle that is quite evident, that no one else has said...analyst Paul Azinger "the game has changed, no longer just hitting the fairway is the way to play...now, you just hit it as far as you can, and play it from wherever"....ha, that's what I have done for years...the Englishman, Bland was doing the former...and getting lapped...he hit most every fairway, and was 40+ yards behind Henley...eventually he faded...

Going into the final round...Henley, Louie, and McKenzie Hughes are leading at -5...lurking...DeChamboo, Rory, Wolf, Scheffler, and RAHM!...expect some great play from these dudes...

How about this...Mother's Day was 'invented' in 1907...and Father's Day, not until 1972...endorsing it was none other than Prez Richard Nixon!...see, something other than Watergate...

The DBacks are now sad possessors of 16 straight losses...

Yea, well...I love this day...had breakfast made for moi by the lil wurman...got a good nite 'happy father's day' from our son...a card from the wife...(ecard), you see I am hip...there is a present staring at me in the alcove...one that is 'in the mail', too...have a massage at 10...then, the sports stuff...and a meal (with them Mackles) at Eddie V's...sounds great?...you betcha...
