A Surprising Nite

Image
When something ends up great, when we thought it was a real iffy thang...it is wunnerful! ...had a complimentary night out at Sycuan (just like Lindsey Martin)...a supper with my golfing bud and his bride...and then, the casino concert...ah, what could go wrong?...well, the little lady, the Boss...thought we were staying at the casino, not at the hotel out at the golf course...she had this bizarre look on her face as we past by it...oops, not enough clarity prior...BUT...it turned out fine...we had a shuttle too and fro...went to the Red Something and pre-functioned...the supper with Gary and Bev, was so fun...at the Bourbon and Beef, er, something like that...and the concert...shocker...first of all, we had front row seats...I knew we were close, row B...there is no row A...cool...the group was 4 dudes and a band...that got their fame as 'Jersey Boys'...it was a blast, who'd a thunk... For my entree I ordered a rib eye...shocker. ..as those who know me well, well, I usuall...

The Things That Matter

Image
Morning, kids...December 16...9 days 'til Christmas ...it's a Friday and we are staying out at Sycuan for the nite...have a Christmas Concert at the Casino...meeting up with my golfing pal and his bride...for din din...prior to the show...ah, after some morning golf...there, that is all that matters...today for the Horse... Not really...I wither away thinking about the real THINGS THAT MATTER ...that seemingly never ever change..get done, by whomever is in power... inflation, guns, homeless, taxes, and political greed ...in no particular order...people promise, and it is still there...it is a problem for the Demos and Repubs, and if you count trump, whatever he is...one thing for sure, is to NOT silence the thoughts of others... We are in the midst of winter...yup, cold here too...the sick season ...guess you have to have bad, with the good...still can't believe with all the viruses around us, each and every single day...there are people who proudly say that they haven'...

Chasing the Lights

OK, we are now in the season ...as we meander about and see the lights of the Christmas , and the sounds of the Christmas ...my favorite time of the year...of course, the housing thang is done for us, just a condo life...but we do it up right, anyhoo...mostly for ourselves, and that's OK... PEACE ... I am not sure what this means, but I saw on Ebay... MAGA hats are going for $1...limited supply... Have you done all your shopping? ...mine is done, I ordered 12 of those damn caps, for my forever friends...and I gots that many of 'em...the shipping was more than the cost of the caps...guaranteed here by Xmas... If the bloke is indicted, I might hold onto them, they may be worth a fortune ...guess the Horse is a speculator...so much for the giving... Whatever happened to the tinsel? ...we used to finish off the tree, with it...does anyone make it anymore?...came in a flatish, green box, as I recall... Seriously, if we got no eggs, then why is there chicken for sale all over the pl...

No Huevos

That's right...NO EGGS!...who's to blame?...the last session into Costco, was a surprise of surprises ...normally stocked with pallets of 'em, all types, ie organic, whatever that is...free ranged eggs...cage free...Omega 3 ones...brown eggs (ah, why?)...all gone...we were at Vons' (Safeway in your neck of the woods) yesterday, and guess what?...no eggs...they got them at other local type of supers...why?...the simple reason, is that the chickens are SICK!...just like you and I, at times...weird and wack...another thang we take for granted...is this just a Cali problem?...I dunno... Chas Barkley said it all last eve ... 'why are we still talking and showing a 12th place team?'. ..of course, he is referring to the LaLa Lake Show....the bottom team in the west division...or purnt near...yup, the Lakers are on the pixels all the time cuz of LeBron...past his prime, but still doggone good...yea, so, they were on with the Celts, the top team...it was a good game, and...

Winter Wonderland

Figure that most of you, who have never made it down to south SoCal, where the Horse liveth...have no idea that just about an hour+ away, is some cool spot to go...up in the mountains ...we have taken many a guest there, during their stay here... Julian ... home of the Julian Pies ...known primarily for the apple ones...or, Mom's , which is just as good and tasty...well, the town (city?) is about at 3,000 ft... and I tell ya they get snow each and every year...hard to fathom for youse from the PNW...true dat...yesterday, was one of those days ...pictured here...it's just a step back in time...really fun jaunt... a Winter Wonderland! ...and, really, anytime...a wondrous place to travel... Football news...OMG, the passing of one of my fav coaches...Mike Leach, 61 only ...such wit that it made the day brighter...kinda got to follow him at his stint at Wash St...his final stop was in Mississippi St...so sad...heart attack...and the other, I told you about Navy...word out was he got...

Vowing 'Unity'

Image
Morning, kids...it is Monday, December 12, 2022... 12/12/22 ...that's kinda cool, when you look at it that way...for sure, I am a tad bit off me rocker....you probably already KNOW that...it's a rainy day here in SoCal...the Horse is foregoing his golf...mostly cuz of my injured shoulder...don't cry for me, Argentina...it shall heal...as we ponder this upcoming week...ah, this one, not the next...what?...isn't the upcoming week the one we just started?...I can never figure out how that works... The newest mayor of LaLa Land...Karen Bass ...has vowed as her thing to accomplish... 'UNITY' ...good luck, Ms Bass on that...you want some odds?...5 to 1... my advice, in case she is asking...is to find a way to conquer homelessness ...nobody has yet...anywhere...it is rampant throughout the country...and ALL politicians bring it up...but have no answers...it didn't start with this regime, or the awful one prior...it is thriving and not one politician has a clue...no...

14 Days to Go

But who's counting?...if you are an online shopper, like the Horse...be so cautious as to when your item is to be shipped ...YOU should be safe for a few days more...just the longer YOU wait, the less time the package will be under the tree...that is, if YOU have one...Boss already opened hers...unaware she cried...think I am gonna get her another?...c'mon... We have, now had, these LUV vouchers from Southwest Air ...that had to be used before the end of January of next month...or we lose their value...some $600 smackers, apiece...Vegas was out, as it is too cold...likewise a jaunt up to the rain belt...Nashville?...too late for Xmas, and we wanted warmer weather...Maui?...naw...so, me brilliant mind settled on Cabo...and that's the solution...4 days and the LUV is gone...ha ha...it works as Boss's birthday gift and her EXTRA Xmas one...you heathens might think, that 'YOU are going, too' ...only as a servant to me lord... The Army/ Navy game was a beut ...now y...
