Be Prepared


Morning, kids...the motto of how I coached in the...now, way way past...BE PREPARED for the worst...yup, and many times I wasn't...which fueled my theory even more...take care of the negatives first, then work on the positives...in a very weak form, similar to the teachings of the great one, John Wooden...so much of your success, is due to the talent that you have...regardless of how you coach...I felt like I worked the hardest when I had teams destined for failure...man, and I loved those kids just as much as the others...unless, one can recruit (some did), you are given what you got...it was part of the game...and they came up in your system...so, try to make it work...adjusting all the time...really, it was great fun...

Somehow I am going to link that with the present day Friars...the talented kids are there...BUT, underachieving...find a way, coach...no better example of not doing that, was last eve...as Yu Darvich was on the mound for us...obviously, did not have it...was hit hard from the get go...and Mgr Melvin stuck with him anyway...he gave up 4 HOME RUNS!...negating any chance to win...it was a disaster...this is your job, dude...go to others, much quicker than you did...to say, I have my doubts about him...is an understatement...

180*...this is the day that I originally had pegged for trump's 3rd indictment...the DOJ gave him til last Thursday to come in, and plead his case...of course, he chose not to...he thinks he is above all laws...right?...I perused the 23 sources this am...nothing yet...

Why did the British Invasion of the 60's happen then, and never again?...music...The Beatles, The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Peter and the Hermits, The Who, the Searchers, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and others...why not now?...

Speaking of coaching...at a USC hoops practice, LeBron James' son, Bronny...had a cardiac arrest!...taken to the hospital and now is off support...egads, life is precious...doing OK now...more later on this...as it becomes available...man, nothing more than fearing for your son's life...

Here in Diego...Westfield has sold both of it's malls...for $290 million bucks...which means what?...malls, as we know them, are going bye bye...is this the future of 'em by the new buyers?...don't know yet...

I had 4 tequila shots last nite, and Miranda Lambert's music still sounded like crap...

Can't the Friars spend $ and get Bryce Harper...1B and DH...he is the best hitter in the game...then it won't make any diff who is managing the club...

This is the thing...I wouldn't go back to Orygun for a baseball game, a hoops game, but the UO/USC football game?...YUP!...booked...

You recall my blog on NFL running backs...the $ cash cow no more...well, the Giants signed their true super star for $11 million for one season, Saquon Barkley...about 1/3rd less than the average QB they have...dude, can you play hoops?...

We have found the best Chinese food...out at Sycuan casino...true dat...and that's where we are going this eve...there is none, well, not much, in downtown...the Gaslamp...nil...we usually go to Hillcrest and get Panda Express...but, the real thing is out at Sycuan...

I pondered about the wonder weight loss drugs...you see 'em all the time on the pixels...Ozempic and Wegovy...many 'stars' have used them for their system...the two use semaglutide...which mimics a hormone, naturally made by the body, GLP-1...which slows the passage of food thru the stomach, which helps people feel fuller longer...whew...did I get that all right?...problem is, these drugs MAY slow down the process TOO MUCH!...which can cause gastroparesis...commonly called 'stomach paralysis'...which cause one to throw up, er vomit...often...nausea...SO, kids...before doing this...talk it over with your Doc...thought you ought to know...

Still, no breaking news from the DOJ...

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...
