Your Next Step

Isn't this the way we try to think?...what is the Next Step in Life?...the planning...perhaps, the Plan...new job, new house, new spouse (joking, Boss), new city (town?), new path on life, new you, new something...I mean, 'is that all there is?'...how many times have you thought that?...clarity, always seeking clarity...this beautiful song is by the incomparable Peggy Lee...is the root of it all, money?...most of my era is on a fixed income...ha ha...living on what we did in the past...egads. you get scratch for that?...yes, kids, you do...you get a little irritated when the Congressionals, the peops we VOTED in, talk about cuts in Social Security and Medicare?...what plan are they on?...er, planet?...

Well...I like where I am...are you?...disregarding what the naysayers want to feed us...we are surviving quite nicely...most of the time, I talk about innocuous things...little ditties that improve our lives...or open our eyes, to what is out there...to bring into our comfort zone...perhaps, a flick...a product...a saying...something that may get your day a little brighter...sometimes, you may get mad at the Horse...he is not perfect...ha ha...knowing this we start today...

The Alex Murdaugh Trial...why it is so fascinating to moi, is because we see our judicial system at work...the tedious part...and how the defense is trying to plant a wee seed of doubt into the jurors minds...the accused himself, took the stand the past 2 days...smart or dumb?...I am not judging here...is this a game?...with lethal consequences?...lifetime imprisonment?...or acquittal...whatever, it does make for good TV...much better than Judge Judy's waste of time...

176-175...er, what?...double OT game with the Kings outlasting the Clip Joint...the NBA...'set it up!'...this was the 1st game for the Westbrook guy...for LA, the other one...isn't this score close to the All Star game one?...'switch'...coaches get paid for this?...to be fair, I had a team that was not the best defensively, but could shoot the rock...BUT, we had a plan...we ran, and took 'good' shots...exciting as hell, but you had to pull your sport coat over your head on defense...much like what the NBA does now...see, the Horse was ahead of his time...

We happened on a show about Greenwich Village...in Manhattan...the birthplace of protesting music, I reckon...sounds odd...protestors...Pete Seeger...Bob Dylan...Paul Simon...Buffy St Marie...so many others...and the NYC Police were having none of it...soon, to be handled by the National Guard...we did have things to sing about...thank you to our politicians...this momentum, spread out to LA...and in the Vietnam War era, all over the college campuses...what is the Village like now?...this flick is on YouTube...

I have this thing...the neck 'Massager'...that warms the neck...and then has a smooth vibrating motion for the area...had it for years, and now just went back to it...it really helps that part of the bod...for all of you, that have the same affliction 'the sore neck'. give it a try...

What u think?...Nick Cannon...TV host...has been married (hitched?) to KK, Mariah, and who else?...has fathered 11 children thus far...from 6 different women...when is enough enough?...I had problems with one...the dude is 42...can he be a father figure?...

MLB is implementing a faster pace to the game...by, a pitch clock of 15 seconds...which means, the batter be ready...the 1st 2 Cactus League games were about 2 and 1/2 hours long...AND, gone is the over shifting on D...we shall see...at this rate, Papi would have never seen a pitch for the Bosox...

YES, we are still sick...had to clean out the Lexus...and sweated with the oldies doing so...Boss did like 5 loads of wash...as we cough cough cough...my Bros comes in tomorrow, not sure if this is wise...I dunno...are we done being contagious?...still, we got little life in us...

Small talk...we were in the elevator with a young buck...we had our stuff going upwards...'where you been?'...Half Moon...'we just got back, too...took the wife to London...'...arse hole...

If you could go back into all your past earthly possessions, that you no longer have...and choose just ONE...not your parents and like, people...but a thing...what would it be?...think deep, now...tops on my list, would be my baseball cards...cowboy hat...but, it would be my '56 Olds...
