The Day of Golf


Morning, kids...did not write yesterday, as I was out the door at 7...for a day of golf with my son...in LA
...the Pomona Pitzer Alumni Golf T...baseball alums...such a fun time...as Dr Cris gets to catch up with all his old buddies...fun for me, to watch and listen, too...as I tag along as the 4th member of the scramble T...clearly, the eldest out of all the entries is the Horse...11 teams in this year, so...

There was a stick in the group following us...massive drives and a dart thrower...could be a ringer, cuz I don't recall one in the past...we did miss last year...one of us, or both, were sick...anyhoo, that group was 6 under after 9...I made the great statement, 'well, we won't win this year, but we are having great fun!'...

The weather was cold...windy...rainy...and the good Dr and I both had shorts on...the ONLY ones...he had a bundle of warm stuff for his torso...I did not...BUT, I did have a stocking cap...that I did don, for at least 12 holes...and somehow, our group caught fire...not sure, but Dr Cris and I have won this thing at least 6 times...yea, go figure...now, AGAIN!...as we finished 9 under and won by 3...

The other 2 members were great kids from his team...big dudes...who could mash the rock big time...the old guy, put it in play and the youngins whomped the golf ball...kids, I say, as they were both 42 or so...same age as me son...my real add, was the chipping and putting...yes, all, I was finally spot on...go figure...

In the pix of the group, the 3 youngins look like real specimens, and I, resemble Pacino in the recent series 'Hunters'...


Did not see the thrashing of the 49ers by the Eagles...but, did get back in time to see the 2nd half of the Chiefs/Bengals...not having a horse in the race, with the way the game was officiated, KC was going to win this game...smelly, if you ask me...and the final penalty, with the Cincy guy shoving Mahommes out of bounds....dang stupid...thwarted an OT...'don't touch the QB'...anyhoo, the sooper bowl with Philly and KC should be a goodun...wonder who will be the officiating crew?...the Vegas Boyz know...

Hoops...why is it that LeBron always says he got fouled, and never says he fouled someone else...he puts on a show, both ways...now the LaLa people feel like it was rigged, when he didn't get the call in Boston...man, they should have been in the Valley League, when I was coaching...went south and we never ever caught a break...ha ha, no one from Salem did...well, just an observation, that may be biased...

Golf...Rory beat the hated Patrick Reed by a stroke in Dubai...even with the mysterious ball in the tree award that Reed got...you must turn in to Brandle Chamblee's coverage of this fiasco...saw a list of the most hated golfers...by fellow pros...Patrick is number 1 and Lefty is number 2...ha ha....

Just sayin...do not stick a mike into or near, Travis Kelce's mouth after a game...that is, if you don't want to bleep what he says...well, just start bleeping when he starts to talk...

The question of the day...why do we save books after we have read them?...I understand vinyls...we play them again...and again...do we read a book again?...is it for history?...lord, I use to save a Boolean Algebra book...got lost in one of the moves...never understood it then...or thereafter...I even took out a paper that I had notes on...I wrote 'em...had no idea what it was all about...now history books, I can see...but a John Grisham book?...

Does Gen Z read books?...er, a book?...have they ever?...do you really think that trump has ever read a book?...I know, he is not Gen Z, but it was a generic query...bet you a quid he hasn't...

The bulk of the am, the one thing I absolutely hate...the bills...gots to be done...have a good one, all...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
