As Coach K leads his team thru the Big Dance...the Duke Blue Devils...he does so without the theatrics of the other coaches...not sure how he does that...as I was one of the latter...he possesses the inner calm that very few have in the job of coaching...to sit most of the game, while the craziness of the play goes on before him...is truly amazing....not that he doesn't get up and get after it, at times...who doesn't do that?...in a game besieged by worse than ever...officiating...

Duke beat Michigan St and advanced to the sweet sixteen...with a squad that I said can't shoot...well, from long range...alas, it took two bombs to set the sail that let them cruise into the next round...I stand corrected...

In the past year, we had flights and journeys canceled...due to the Covid thing...and the $ for the flights was sitting in our account...that had to be used prior to June 25th, I think....thereabouts...SO...we rescheduled yesterday...to Nashville...and thanks to them Gahrs, got a place to stay at a World Mark...this is a great thing...oh yea, the cost of the plane tix, was doubled from last year...due to the rise of fuel I reckon...

The petrol price for us was $5.69 a gallon yesterday...how about yours?...

About every 2 years or so, the Horse reinvests in a new electric shaver...they are not cheap, it is true...but, I use the machine most every day...my latest purchase?...the Braun...it has plenty of pep and does a great job...

Oh yea, and the BC Pizza oven was a huge smash...this was a fresh one that we made, ah, the pizza...now will try one of them frozen pizzas in it...so far, a resounding approval...

Putin's War...marches on...with more death and destruction...in as much, as he will have to rebuild the country that he is taking...that is, if he does...just show your face there, you bastard...

American Idol...last nite was a fizz...didn't see a champ in the mix...got so boring, I fell asleep...

A Chinese Boeing jet went down over their country...132 aboard...so sad...

If it is a Monday, it is a golf day...repeat after moi, Horse...calm, cool, and BANG!...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
