Our Tree

So we got a bit energetic yesterday...and UP WENT THE TREE!...this year the color of the condo is to be RED...at least, that's the emphasis...I always forget how time consuming this project is...adding time for missing parts...finding them...up goes the Santas, too...and, of course, the decorating of the...tree...sifting thru the myriad of ornaments of all colors...this time, SILVER and RED, only...but, it's all fun and there you go...you see our finished project...if ya'll want a kick, TMZ ran a bit, on all 'the celebs' and their trees...well, some may be on the lines of DWTS stars...but, it's the trees that are interesting, kids...

As I forewarned ya, the new Covid variant is in South Africa...big enough for major concern, and got it's own name...Omicron...we ALL want protection from this and...ah, all of them...why so many in this time of the earth's existence?...why now?...why are these so deadly?...

The collegiate football games of rivalries...so fun and exasperating at the same time...yesterday's UNC and NC State was one like that...the Tar Heels, nursing a 9 point lead with 2 minutes to go...blew it all in less than 1 minute...and lost...in this day and age, coaches get fired for the debacle...

Oregon St at Oregon...the mood...in Eugene at Autzen Stadium,, where it 'never rains'....12:30 kick off...the Vegas boys have held steady at 7 favoring the Ducks...hmmm, I would have thought just the opposite...what do they know, that I don't?...

Ohio St at Michigan...man, the Buckeyes have been playing so well...and the Wolverine HC, Harbaugh, has history of rarely winning the big ones...closer than you think, but Ohio St will prevail...

The rest?...JCC...

Two NBA games of note last eve...first of all, the Golden St Warriors just absolutely TOYED with the Blazers...never a match...GS plays really really hard, kids...and well...the other?...the LaLa Lakers lost to the Sac Kings in triple OT...odd one, as the LeBron blokes have so much more talent...well, veterans...and simply ran outta gas...ha ha...couldn't happen to a better bunch of lads...

The Match...was kind of a let down...as Brooks destroyed DeChamboo...who didn't win one hole...as the contest was only going 12 holes, instead of 18...bummer...oh well, back to the gaming tables for all...

Does anyone bowl anymore?...used to...talking the Horse...the two things I didn't like about it...it was redundant and the ball weighed so much...what I did like?...it was great for a date...and it was fun to be in a league at nite...I bring this up, cuz when I golf...I may say 'I should try bowling'...

Another thing...we have many board games that we haven't played seemingly forever...we are board people...not good mind you...but active participants...FYI...

A negative thing that has been occurring...mass burglaries...of places such as Nordstrom...many people together...overwhelm security and rob the businesses...come in cars and move quickly...testing the police force once again...man, is there more bad guys out there than ever before?...

SDSU upset Boise...man, I tell ya...the D dominates...and the coach switched back to the season beginning starter at QB, and he was dynamic-o-mite!...huge win and the Aztecs are better than YOU think...

We had the Eddie V's leftovers...added some turkey gravy and listen up kids...as good (almost) as the night before...and some cold cranberry sauce...they served theirs as hot...weird...

Think back just a wee bit...and grasp this...not only did trump lose the last Prez election, but he has yet to concede...but so did Ye...did he concede, too?...we live in strange times, my good friends...

Now this...US REP Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia) has introduced a bill to the House of Reps...to honor Kyle Rittenhouse with the Congressional Gold Medal...this award is the highest honor given by the House...I kid you not...

To the grocery store we go...the cupboards be bare...the needs are there...we traverse so far...to stock our bar...and our fridge...
