Winter Wonderland



There are so many Christmas songs sung by Johnny Mathis, that are near classics...I think I have 4 albums of his that are solely Christmas...yes, vinyls, kids...he is still a master at this genre...we have seen him twice in concert, for the Holidays...he mixes in his Hits with the Xmas ones...it is truly one of the best nights of all...'Winter Wonderland' is one of those...shoot, you could choose at least a dozen more...

'Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?  In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland'....

Pivoting...just how much more evidence does it take for the masses of humanity, that back trump...to realize he isn't what they think he is...newly released tapes of him trying to coerce Michigan to change their '20 votes...it just seems to pile up and then...mound up...and for goodness sakes, stinks to high heaven...

Rudy Guliani...to borrow from someone else...'from 9/11 to Chapter 11'...and that word borrow, well, we shall see if he is able to pull that off, anywhere...you'd think with all the forevers, he could find at least one that would bank him some cash...yes, of course, he filed for bankruptcy after his loss in the courts...can't pay up, if you ain't got the money...you lawyer buffs out there, can't he be stuck in the pokey if he doesn't come up with the $?...

A senseless mass shooting in the Prague...14 dead and I dunno...at a university...we must value life better than we do right now...

So I ventured into BevMo yesterday....with a notion to get some Jim Beam for the Holidays...you know, to serve our guests...seeings Costco had run out of it...and I noticed a couple of blokes...young, well younger than moi....analyzing the vodka...really eyeballing the different ones...in the Horse's mind, they all tasted the same...just like my take on Mexican food...now bourbon?...so many choices that are ALL different...

I was awakened to what I worried was a bomb going off in the hood...man, was it loud...turned out to be a walloping THUNDER!...shortly thereafter, lightning racing across the skies...must have only been one BOOM, as I promptly fell back to sleep...not the norm for us in Diego...

NBA...the Detroit Pistons have now lost 25 in a row...some times, you just don't have it...I had one that lost 21 in a row...tried everything...great kids, good at other sports, but did not have that ONE stud to finish off a game...I know what that coach is going thru...you question everything about yourself...we rebounded the next year just fine...but, that one season...oh my...

One of my 'passions' is to listen to the pundits on ESPN in the afternoon about the NFL...experts?...and they happen to land on the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys for their inconsistencies...Miami, cuz they beat all the people they should beat, and lose to the rest...and that Dallas can't win on the road, but are unbeaten at home...listen, prepare and do your best...makes no diff, on the road or not, for the pros...witness the playoffs...and the fact that Miami has trouble with the better teams, is on a one game at a time basis...in the end...or in conclusion...the Horse thinks that the Dolphins are solid...and the Cowboys are chokers...

To end today...I must tell you the latest John Grisham book (The Exchange), is sensational...can't put it down...the story line is riveting...and I can see a flick coming out of this...that good...so good, that I put my Rachel Maddow down...for a bit...two different paths...

FORGOT THIS!...last nite's Uber drive...the driver had a baseball bat in the front seat, where I was seated...ah, must have been a Boy Scout...'Be Prepared!'...

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...
