Merry Christmas!




To finish up with my week of Christmas Music...seems appropriate to honor the Carpenters...'Merry Christmas, Darling'...written by Richard Carpenter, lyrics by Frank Pooler...and highlighted the sweet voice of Karen Carpenter...released in 1970...curiously, has not been played much this season...wonder why?...and believe me, I listen to tons of Christmas songs on XM, as I go to and fro the golf course...they also released a Christmas Album, that was simply...awesome...

Merry Christmas to you all...I hope things are going well...it's a strange time for many...the Covid changed things...the Gaza mess...the ongoing ugly trump stuff...the absolutely weird white supremacy rearing up, again...after 100 years, mind you...not so settling for all of us, who are of different heritages...and colors...the religion question...the climate change...there are so many factors that cause...questions...and uncertainty...

We watched the one and only 'White Christmas' flick last eve...can't believe we had never done so...saw blips of it before...Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen...as per usual, Boss Lady googled them all...and the fact that we had never heard of the latter, Vera-Ellen, really is a surprise...she was quite the dancer...much like the DWTS pros of nowadays...the film was aired in 1954...and I just imagine it was a huge item in the theaters...listen kids...you must watch it...I guarantee it will warm your heart...just what is needed right now...

NFL...the Dolphins won a big game...so slay them pundits...but, the Cowboys lost in Miami, so they are half right...something had to give...add that Dallas team to the Broncos, and they are the most over-publicized teams in the league...so says the Horse...

Funny what you remember...one of my fellow '65 Vikings, and teacher, too, and neighbor...Mike Wilson...saying "the best sip is the first one"...talking coffee...it is and will always be a very true statement...

How about some short shots, taken from my very own Christmas stocking...

It tickles me to see the Detroit Lions win...after so many losing seasons...

PDX needs to change up and spend some cash...otherwise bottom dwellers...

All them 50's actors had hair...greased...lightning...

Bing Crosby could dance...

I don't like the KFam...not one bit...go away...

The Ravens at the 49ers, in the great game today...

I can't imagine Maui, without Lahaina...

My one big disappointment, never seeing the Rat Pack in person...

Most ALL of you are immigrants...

We went to the beach yesterday, ah, Christmas Eve...walked down to the ocean...man, it was just lovely...and we thought out loud...what a great place to live...Merry Christmas!...

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...
