Your Next Step

Image
Isn't this the way we try to think?...what is the Next Step in Life? ...the planning...perhaps, the Plan ... new job, new house, new spouse (joking, Boss), new city (town?), new path on life, new you, new something ...I mean, 'is that all there is?' ...how many times have you thought that?...clarity, always seeking clarity... this beautiful song is by the incomparable Peggy Lee ...is the root of it all, money?...most of my era is on a fixed income...ha ha...living on what we did in the past...egads. you get scratch for that?...yes, kids, you do...you get a little irritated when the Congressionals, the peops we VOTED in, talk about cuts in Social Security and Medicare?...what plan are they on?...er, planet?... Well...I like where I am...are you?...disregarding what the naysayers want to feed us...we are surviving quite nicely ...most of the time, I talk about innocuous things...little ditties that improve our lives...or open our eyes, to what is out there...to bring into ou...

15 days

We are back...it took us 9 hours to do it ...canceled the intermediary stop in Huntington Beach...cuz of all things, the weather....all the forecasts said rain...we had a bunch right out of Pismo, but little after...it was sunny, slightly breezy, and cold...not as much traffic as normal thru LaLa...and we flew...sort of...cough cough...to say, we are still sick, is an understatement...just for sure, tested for Covid...nope, not that...but a combo of non-Covid Corona virus (true!) and some other awful coughing, deep in the lungs, cold thang...it's what the grand kids have...thus, you can imagine, what we were doing in this 15 day trip...feels so good to be home...as we medicate even more...let's just say this...can't smell, taste, hear or breathe...sound like you want to meet up with us soon?...right... This Russian attack on Ukraine ...over a year now, with Putin thinking it would be a slam bam win...the resistance of the people of Ukraine is legendary...and now China has m...

Rainy Days and Mondays

No!...sorry you Carpenters...it’s a Wednesday....but, rainy day imminent....as we are in Pismo Beach now....this weather is up and down the Cali coast...just took a morning walk and saw a glorious rainbow over the mountain....which means...right... Hard to believe that most of our 15 day trek, we have been sequestered into Cosmo...odd thing, it is not a challenge...as we have everything we need...you have no idea how many bottles of water we have DRUNK!... Food for thought...if ‘you’ announce that you are running for Prez....for 2024...you are going to spend millions of cash...where are you gonna get that?...follow the money...if you can....it may be hidden in super pacs...we are pawns... Hoops...a bit back, the Horse gave a hint...watch for Alabama....some others...the Zags....Virginia... LeBron says that the next (last) 26 games for him are very important....duh...in or out of the playoffs...where almost all teams qualify...hate the Lakers...(23 games)… Madonna, yes indeed...you are ...

Toriano

I got an alert that my last post had something wrong in it....not sure what it was, but, thanks for reading... One of my fav things is to watch old Indian and Cowboy flicks...well, until the Injuns quit winning....none better than ‘Arrowhead’...the star of it was Toriano...which means chief...the lead was Jack Palance....who they did a great job making him look native...man, he played so many tough guys over the years...thinking back....he and Robert Mitchum, were the best at this... Palance was Ukrainian!...played football at North Carolina, was in the Air Force during WWII, was one credit of graduating from Stanford....then, turned into acting...his last resting place?...Montecito... I’m still trying to figure out the alert...cuz I mentioned the cost of Facebook?... It’s a shame that we are here in Half Moon, and couldn’t roam thru the area of them Mackle’s....but, this am...we move on...still sick... Your girl Madonna, is telling her haters...that her swelling is down on her face, a...

Prez Day

Image
This day is for the Prez, er Presidents, of our USA...I am especially singling out Prez Biden and Carter...for Prez B on his surprise visit to Ukraine, today...and Prez C for his humanity, as he is in hospice...for many years, I thought the day was for special discounts on goods...and for the day off...right?...will never honor trump, as he was our biggest mistake...you knew I would add that... Odd broadcast of the NBA all star game...we had no audio of the hosts...and from what I saw, there was zero competition in the ‘game’....either...a farce...turned it off and watched Toriano dominate the Blue Coats...again, you who really know me, can understand that... We are so sick...Half Moon is out there, but we are sequestered in Cosmo...cough cough cough...I think we should abort, but Boss says we should stay the course...my vote is not as big as hers...we stay... Rahm...eventually the auto correct will recognize his name...won the LA Open...hit shots when he had to... Facebook, er Meta, w...

The Grand Dame

This game of hoops has changed dramatically...the 3 point line is the reason...’casting off’ is no longer a crime...it is the norm...and all 5 players do it...shoot the three ball...at a rate of 40%...do the math, it is better than the two...exciting?...3 on 1 fast break, and they shoot the 3...gone is the beauty of the layup...along with this, is the loss of pattern in the game...now, dribble drive, off a spot up screen, and either shoot the rock..or toss it to a player beyond the 3 line...”pull “em”...when traded, players say ‘no problem, they all run the same stuff!’... Very windy entry for the best 3 baller in the NBA...The Grand Dame...Damian Lillard of the PDX Blazers...who won the 3 point challenge last eve in Utah...our feed here in Half Moon, was all in Spanish...he tenido seis anos de espaniel...no recuerdo mucho...si... Another shooting in...Memphis...lord...just goes on and on... Over 46,000 dead in that earthquake...no words... Prez Jimmy Carter in hospice at age 98...terr...
