Our Tree

Image
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 riva...

Brace Yourself

Man, when you hear those two words... BRACE YOURSELF! .. .it's never gonna be good ... NEVER!!! ...so, why am I leading with this?... there is a new Covid Variant coming out of South Africa ... feared to be horrific ...immediate reactions throughout the WORLD are these...cancelling all flights from there...NOW!...the stock market is plunging...the people of this earth will combat this ASAP... leaders of all countries are reacting ...probably while I am writing this, this morning...over reaction?...who knows...stay tuned, as this is the number one story in most of my 23 sources... Of course, this overshadows Black Friday ...the day of deals in the stores...to move merchandise and give the public an early chance for Christmas shopping...I am sure I wrote in years past about this phenomena...where we got up real early, and went to them...the stores...they would open like at 5 or 6 in the am...yup, there were lines of peops ready to pounce...some actually had coffee and donuts...I reca...

Is the Turkey in the Oven?

Image
Is the turkey in the oven, yet? ...famous last words...a full one?...how long does it take, anyhoo?...one of my favorite shows to watch on the pixels, is the cooking ones...did you know, they rarely cook a bird on them?...it's true...of course, that's all I give you...the truth...maybe Emeril did, plugging one of his cooking systems...I dunno... As you know, our din din is to be over at Eddie V's ...with our closest 200 friends...thus, Friendsgiving, for us...and I hope they are cooking enough turkeys to feed the lot of us...seem to recall, a Valentine's romantic dinner at Al Forneo...where they ran out of lots of stuff...the waiter started telling us what they didn't have...I stopped him, and asked 'just tell us what you DO have'...true story... Why does the name 'turkey' get such a bad rap? ...Often referred to as a joke thing...'this is a real turkey'...no bigger turkey than trump...dang, there I go again...stop it Horse... Serious stuff.....

Black Friday

Image
Red Wednesday , Blue Monday , and Green Saturday? ...of all the colors, one could choose for the day after Friendsgiving ... Black? ...yea, I know...but still?...it is but a recent concoction of descriptive thangs...rumor is, that it started in Philly (like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) by some cops...who marveled (complained) about the mass amount of vehicular and foot traffic in the city...1961...some say that it started much further back...in 1869, when a couple of investors, Gould and Fisk, caused a market crash...drove up the price of gold...I dunno, kids...some how it has to be tied to when the businesses actually make money, and go into the black...out of the red...whatever... Your guy trump, doesn't miss a chance to try to steal the spotlight ...like duh...actually asked the bloke Rittenhouse...the honor of visiting him at Mar-a Lago...and bellowed out this 'he's really good young guy'...OK then...he has chosen a peculiar way to climb to the ____...well, you know....

Livin on Temecula Time

Image
OK, I changed it from Tulsa ...but, our time zone is the PC one...finally, and I do mean, finally...am getting used to it getting so dark early...like I need to be in bed by eight...and so it goes... Did you see the melee in the Pistons/Lakers game the other nite? ...caused by LeBron James 'inadvertent' elbow and fist to the jaw of the Detroit player?... Isaiah Stewart , went ballistic...bloodied, and tried to get at James...in retaliation...these are huge human beings, kids...both got suspensions, duh... I am still amazed at how dominant Tom Terrific (TOM BRADY) is at pro football ...40 something, whatever...he throws a perfect pass so often...the latest to copy him?... Justin Herbert ...not kidding...anyhoo, the now team that has TT leading it, the Bucs...handled the woeful Giants last nite on MNF...BTW, a far cry of a telecast from Dandy Don, Frank Gifford, and Howard...Cosell...and so it goes... DWTS ...named the former hoopster, Iman Shumpert , as it's winner...nope, ...

November 22

Image
This day of the month, is etched in my brain PERMANENTLY! ...no bigger crisis in my lifetime than on this day, November 22, 1963 ...the time of life and death...when our President, John F Kennedy was assassinated ...actually changed the news coverage by the television...became full time, in lieu of a 15 minute time slot...if you were to ask ANYONE from my generation, they could tell you EXACTLY where they were, what they were doing, and how it immediately affected them... TIME STOOD STILL! ... In due time, I was fortunate enough to visit the site where it occurred...Dallas, Texas ...so I could peace meal what I saw on the pixels...by saying fortunate, I mean that I had the chance to figure it all out...as to this day, I don't believe what the government told us as to why, by whom, and the reasoning for not publishing the info they have... As I have alluded to before...I was in the Texas School Book Depository building where Oswald was...I stepped off the streets where the motorca...

Simply Stunning

Who'd a thunk that the Utah Utes would dominate the Oregon Ducks the way they did?. ..last eve in Salt Lake City... a crushing 38-7 win ...well, the Vegas boys did...but, they said by 3...did they hit a typo, and actually mean 30?...well, congrats to Utah...their superiority was evident from the get go...their line play was devastating and powerful...of course, the National scene for UO is now over ... Picking up the pieces...pride, too...and host the fast closing Oregon St Beavers ...who themselves whupped the Arizona St Sun Devils in Corvallis late last night...they too, were in complete control of that game...I dunno kids, the way the Ducks were, and the way the Bevos were...the fav should be with the OSU lads ...collegiate football, is truly a fun and mysterious sport... Before I leave this, must mention the SDSU Aztecs, who are now 10-1 ... including a big win over that same Utah team mentioned above...hmmm...33-31 ...State has Boise left...I asked Snooki if he could imagine ...
