Natty Chocolate Fondue Day

Image
Shoot, my lead is the day of days... National Chocolate Fondue Day ...my guess is that many of you have never ever had fondue...in fact, you probably think it is some form of Asian food...don't you... naw, it's a dipping thang...chocolate...melted in this bowl ...with sticks of whatever, you dip into the goodie...strawberries, pound cake, marshmallows, and well, whatever you might like...kind a lead in to Valentine's Day... BTW, if you are thinking of getting me a present for the 'HEART" day, I like caps...baseball caps...ah, NOT MAGA ones... 'I'll be your love 'til the end of time'. ..the line from a song that was a hit in me formative years...wait, when did that stop?...I did not realize just how great this lead singer was in  Jay and the Americans ... 'The Voice' ,  was indeed Jay Black ...passed away just last October, at the age of 82... Cara Mia, Come a Little Bit Closer, This Magic Moment, Some Enchanted Evening , amongst others...the...

Tossin' n Turnin'

Image
I couldn't sleep at all last night ... Tossin' n Turnin' ... digging the tune by Bobby Lewis to show my state of mind ...kind of the mantra for the Horse lately...don't really know why...but, the 5 o'clock hour is my wake up call...ah, get outta bed one ...you have this same thing happening?...why oh why?...probably has something to do with me bedding down at 8-9...but, still... Speaking of beds ...have had this gem on ice for some time...does your fitted sheet ride up?...sometimes?...like come out of the bottom of the bed?...we got this thing that totally fixes that...this is a Horse recommendation that is an A+... from Amazon, the 'Better Bedder' ...wraps up the fitted sheet...around your bed...check it out, it is truly amazing...thank me later...one more thing on this topic...how does one fold the fitted sheet out of the dryer?...I recall Boss Lady and her mom doing it...but, it passes me by... Another vacancy taken care of by the NFL ... the misaligned J...

Definitely NOT Myopic

Image
Thank YOU for reacting to yesterday's post ... the passion was better than the wording, I must add ...yet, you did get my picture of where I stand...suppose in the end, I see the bigger phase, not just the here and now... definitely NOT myopic ...as the racial divide is all around us...why NOW is a debatable point... The ESPN feed was filled with the accusations by the fired black head coach of the MIAMI DOLPHINS ...NFL, kids... Brian Flores ...the owner, Stephen Ross, says otherwise...calling them "false, malicious, and defamatory" ...he and the team's leadership, fired Flores...and in his suit, he claims racism in the hiring process...and this jewel... that he was paid $100,000 for every loss...as the team wanted to tank, to get into a better 'draft position'... Now...this is all alleged...right? ...imagine...just for a second... that team M did that...offered cash to throw a game...then, why not bet on the predicted outcome?...who is there to find this ou...

Race and Religion, or Both?

Image
This Whoopi comment and then her suspension...over what exactly the Jewish people are tabbed as...she thought that it was one, not necessarily the other...right?...makes me think about the life I have led...where 65 years of it, was dealt with racial innuendos...as you know, the Native American one...for goodness sakes, think that Whoopi Goldberg hasn't?...Goldberg?...her real names is Caryn Johnson...they did one of them ancestry things on her...back a bit...and found that she was indeed 8% European origin...whatever that means...92% black... Call it, just not knowing what the race or religion, or both is...the Jewish People...my guess is what she was getting at...thing is, for the past 5 years we ALL have been sensitized as to what race we are...the trump and his regime, brought out the worst in many...somehow, the race is issue is back on the forefront of our lives...like in the 50's and prior...and that is a perfect word for it...SENSITIVITY... Pretty much happens on all is...

Mendocino

You do know how listening to the radio can infiltrate your tiny little brain ...and if it is the right thing...tune or message, it stays with you for a while...SOOO... during the nite, this ditty kept playing and rattling me enough to keep me awake ...must have heard it on Sirius XM, 60's Gold ...now on channel 73, in lieu of channel 6...why oh why they switched it I will never understand...as my rig will never ever start up with that station...weird...back to the story... 'Mendocino' by the Sir Douglas Quintet ...stupid song, that I hate...but it was stuck in me mind...got me thinking...uh oh...of all the songs about places...you know me by now...which this one is in Cali... 'Lodi' by CCR ... 'I Left My Heart in SF' by Tony B , amongst many others... 'Surf City' by The Beach Boys , about Cali's beaches... Let's move east ... 'By The Time I Get To Phoenix' by Glen Campbell ... 'El Paso' by Marty Robbins ... 'Amarillo by M...

Sooper Bowl

Image
As we were watching snippets of game 1...on the iPhone ... the W for the Bengals over the Chiefs...were wondering how this happened... as we were in the Alumni T in Chino Hills ...another OT game...yes, the Horse wants a different method of determining a winner in the Pros...similar to the high schools and colleges...the 2nd game... as I was driving home, had it on Sirius XM...channel 88 ...gots to see the finality that, upon arrival at home...as my early season pick for the SOOPER BOWL CHAMP, the LaLa Rams won it over the 49ers...so there you go, in a few weeks.. .the Bengals vs the Rams...ah, in LA ...eerily similar to what happened last season, when the title game was held in Tampa...and the Bucs were in it and won...home team rules... The Alumni T ...we did not garner the trophy... it was not due to my son's play, though...he was borderline spectacular! ...it was because as a group, we did not make many putts...with so many opps...lips outs was the norm...should that be 'we...

Break the Story...First

Image
The idea of getting the first story out ...kind of like beating the rush...er, to take or get, credit for releasing information before everyone else does...may have happened yesterday... as one pundit let out that Tom 'Terrific' Brady was retiring ...the rest followed suit...and it was all over the airwaves, the web net, well, everywhere... turns out, his story break was a bit premature ...news to the Brady Compound...not that it won't happen, but the release will come from them, not the pundit... 'Loose Lips Sinks Ships' ... recall this slogan from WW ll? ...well, you heard of it...my golfing nut, GL, texted out 'Luke List sinks ships' ...as the PGA pro got his 1st win on tour, out at Torrey...posted a -15 and had to wait 2+ hours to see if it would hold up...did enough to get into OT...and Luuuuuke hit a dream wedge on 18 to indeed win the thang ...think the best of the best, don't choke?...there was some major league gulping going on by some very good...
