The Lava Lamp

Image
Is it wrong to just sit and stare at a 'Lava Lamp?' ...the ebb and flow of the miracle concoction inside that bizarre lit thang...you know you have to search long and hard to find them...now...but, it can be done...BTW, have you noticed that many of the nicknack shops are closed?...the mom and pop ones, years ago...the chains are now following suit...Pier1?...gone...Bed, Bath, and Beyond?...imminent...we still have our fav, though...Home Goods...like I said, you have to go on a search and destroy mission to find one... Equally amusing, is the Christmas Ball ...where you turn the bloody thing over, and shake it...turn it back down...and snow falls within it...yup, I lurve those too...not a whole lot is going on between me ears, apparently....whee!... Kyrie Irving ...kind of fits the models from above...granted, he is an amazing hoopster...but, the Brooklyn Nets star of the NBA...is the most selfish player I have EVER seen in the game...wants to be traded again...always...he is a...

Just Words

Image
Once in a while, the Horse goes off his rocker...not that I truly have one...but I get deep in the caverns of me brain...and let this out ...they are 'Just Words' ...meaning?...when writing there are times that I think back to the days of my 10th grade English teacher, Ms Taubman ...who required us to learn these elongated, oddly enunciated, weirdly spelled...words...like from a box that she had...I was the rebel, ah, Johnny...who thought that this was a complete waste of time...there was no where I was ever going to use these...and there was no book I was ever going to read, that the author used them either....so, why the heck were we trying to use them?... .'He's A Rebel' ...the Crystals...in my mind, that was truly my theme song... The Bloody Thesaurus ...I recall writing a paper, dedicated to this assemblage of words, ah, synonyms...whatever...it was a masterpiece of irony...and full of sarcasm...it really made no sense at all...yup, it had loads of these long, ...

Punxsutawney Phil

This Groundhog Day is all a sham, right folks? ...c'mon...I gots a bridge to sell ya for a mere $5 thousand bucks... so cuz the city of Punxsutawney (Pennsylvania) has this groundhog that sees it's shadow, the REST of the country has to bare the bad news? ...6 more weeks of winter?...iff (math terms) there was a San Diego Steve , we would always have 6 more weeks of winter...don't you fall for this, you very wise forevers...wait, I think I have told them that, for at least 6 years...and they still won't listen to moi...listen, kids, we don't like the critters...try to rid ourselves of them....just ask Corky! If YOU are not a golfing junkie ...the one golf tourney you may enjoy, is the clambake at Pebble Beach , where the 'stars' play right along side the pros...all week...not just one day, as most of the other T's do...that is going on today...these 'stars' are different than the ones who are the 'stars' of Dancing With the _____....well,...

The Country is COLD

Image
This is a very unscientific piece of information to all of you, wherever you are ... the Country is COLD! ...about the only state that is not, is Florida...everywhere else you look, it is snowy, icy, rainy, and most of all...just plain frigid...guess it makes some sense, it is winter...but, even down here in SoCal?...c'mon, Mother Nature... Your Soooper Bowl is to be played in Arizona...in a couple of weeks ...we shall be on the road ourselves via Cosmo...maybe, just maybe, the Country will heat up by then...Philly vs KC...who ya got?...flip a coin, I say...you can make a case either way...for me?...JCC... For a 13 place team in the west, the LaLa Lakers sure get a lot of exposure ...of course, the James Gang is the reason...LeBron is all that, for most NBA junkies...and the TV brass...whatever...I am the guy, who likes to see him jump all over the floor in disbelief when he doesn't get his way...yea, I like to see them lose... Just a few hundred miles north of where donny curr...

American Graffiti

Image
Sometimes you just have to take a step back and go man...has it been this long? ...yesterday's passing of one of the stars of the epic flick 'American Graffiti' ...THE movie that best depicted the 60's... Cindy Williams, at the age of 75 ...she, along with Ron Howard were spot on, dealing with the final night...as he was going off to college...and the inevitable break up...you MUST find it and give it a look...again... She went on to star on the TV show 'Laverne and Shirley' ...probably more renown for that role...but still...I guess I am looking at this a bit selfishly, as she was my age...just can't believe it...the Horse seems so young...at least in me mind... Did see some of the west coast hoops last eve...the Warriors and then PDX ...both wins, that kind of resemble basketball...the bloody 3 point shot has absolutely ruined the game I know...yes, kids, I am redundant...I have said that repeatedly... My office chair ...the gas powered part gave it up......

The Day of Golf

Image
Morning, kids...did not write yesterday, as I was out the door at 7...for a day of golf with my son...in LA ...the Pomona Pitzer Alumni Golf T ...baseball alums...such a fun time... as Dr Cris gets to catch up with all his old buddies ...fun for me, to watch and listen, too... as I tag along as the 4th member of the scramble T...clearly, the eldest out of all the entries is the Horse ...11 teams in this year, so... There was a stick in the group following us...massive drives and a dart thrower...could be a ringer , cuz I don't recall one in the past...we did miss last year...one of us, or both, were sick...anyhoo, that group was 6 under after 9...I made the great statement, 'well, we won't win this year, but we are having great fun!'... The weather was cold...windy...rainy...and the good Dr and I both had shorts on...the ONLY ones ...he had a bundle of warm stuff for his torso...I did not...BUT, I did have a stocking cap...that I did don, for at least 12 holes...and som...
