Santa Baby



'Santa Baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me'...well, that's not acceptable anymore, is it?...guess that may be of fur of some sort...mink?...oh my...the song 'Santa Baby'...was released in 1953, by the one and only Eartha Kitt...egads, Madonna put out a cover, that really was awful...others, too, but they all failed in comparison to the original...ah, even Michael Buble did it...but, inserted a Rolex for the Sable...from Tijuana?...got two of them...

Christmas Eve...so many things roam thru my head about past ones in me life...the inability to sleep at night...the anticipation...always a big deal in my family...when I was young...tried to do the same with ours...occasionally, we did go to a religious service...not often, mind you...but did go...Episcopalians...is that a word?...something like that...my mom was and I think her dad was, too....a preacher...my dad?...not so much...

I can recall always wanting it to snow...I just love snowfall...it is one of nature's most beautiful things...my mind wanders back...

There is something about a bowl game that has a service academy in it...I pull for them...this time, the Air Force...and the players are different...and so are their rules...they have 4 years to play...that's it...no transfer portal players...just cadets...it's a commitment and that's the way it is...the coaches, many have been there for over a decade...refreshing angle, now that all the others...players and coaches, move on a whim...wherever there is more $ offered...Air Force 31, James Madison 21...in the Armed Forces Bowl...James Madison was 11-1 in the east...and the head coach left, with 7 of his assistants...did not coach in this bowl game...Air Force coach, Troy Calhoun, has been at the AF for 17 years...

What a turnaround for the Chargers....after losing by over 40 points to the Raiders...and then firing their HC, they narrowly got beat, via a FG in the last minute to a much better team, da Bills...who'd a thunk?...

NBA...the Pistons lost their 26th straight...the watch is on...and GS beat PDX in a laugher...

OK, the pork chop...we conquered 'em...best we ever have had...no kidding...not sure if it was the chop, from Costco...or the brining that Boss did...or, the way we cooked them....could have been the seasoning...fried them in an iron skillet...buttered them at the end...and man, the best, Jerry, the best...

Your guy trump is back in court...again...fed court...pleading for immunity cuz he once squatted in the White House...thing is, I don't totally trust any of the judge's decisions, anymore...so...you never know...

'Baby, It's Cold Outside'...yea, man, this is the grooviest duet Xmas song...there have been so many really great renditions...Kelly Clarkson and Ronnie Dunn...She & Him...Brett Eldridge and Meghan Trainor...James Taylor and Natalie Cole...and of course, Dean Martin and the Andrew Sisters?...there are others...but, my fav?...Lady A...

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...
