The Butler Did It



As we moseyed on home from the desert...we had enough time to bathe and just relax, prior to the Final 4 game
...pitting the SDSU Aztecs and the Florida Atl Owls...it was a beauty...STILL, the Aztecs have yet to play an awesome 4 quarters...and yet, WIN!...an absolute nail biter...as FAU dominated most of the time...until the FINAL shot, as time ran out...SDSU's Butler was the star...it shook our building and the city...kid u not...it was so unexpected that it brought that deafening noise to the city (town?)...

In all my years of coaching, I 99% of the time would have called timeout in those waning seconds...usually had a special play to use...Aztec Coach Dutcher, let them play on...he said 'I ran out of plays, so...'...

You 'Clue' people...I stole my headline from my golfing bud, Gary L...'The Butler Did It!'...in the game room, with a round object...so on they go...to the FINAL GAME...versus the lead team, University of Connecticut...UConn...get this, more renown for the gals' hoops...it's a Monday niter, kids...perhaps, the Aztecs will have that perfect game...

Not to be outdone...the Friars coupled the above with a victory of their own...8 tallies will do it...and finally in the win column...159 games to go...

Have been hesitant to mention much of trump lately...even the most staunch repubs have little remorse for the bloke...yet, the numbers that support him, via the polls (?) say otherwise...when queried, the answer is usually, but what about Prez Biden?...not what I asked you...I know how you feel about Joe, but what about donny?...

The side show shall be a shining moment for the orange...arrival in court...will he or won't he be finger printed and his mug taken?...with or without fans?...the whirly ones...who will be in his entourage?...might Mark Meadows and Rudy Guliani appear with him?...doubt it, as they want to stay as far away from a court room they can...in his 'think tank' this past weekend at MaraLago...I'm sure he has some form of a grandiose plan...what u think, in the neighborhood of 250 news people there?...

Devastating weather patterns in the south...over 28 people have died due to the storms...man, if you don't have a shelter room in your house, you are toast...not a fan of the thunder and lightning...pretty on the pixels, but live?...no way...

Do you use your 'wallet' on your smart phone?...finally did it, well, did so once before...can't recall that I did...but, it was there in the history...a real cool addition to the iPhone...do others have the same?...

Before I leave trump...he has at least 3 other probable cases coming his way...it's only just begun...'The Carpenters'...

We had such a great time in the desert, thanks so much to our hosts, them Gahrs...even with my bum neck, it was a hoot...hhhhoooooottttt...sorry, you Owl fans...blame the refs...

Listen all you hoop fans...the gals have their champ game today at noonish...LSU vs Iowa...yup, it will be a great show...all I can say, is that Caitlyn may be the difference in the matchup...of course, I know nuttin...

Final game with the Rockies at 1 today...Lugo going for us, and Goober going for them...wait, I read that wrong...it is Gomber...my mistake...my bad...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
