Fresh Air

Image
This is for all you worker bees in this fine world...specifically restaurant ones...when you are serving, waiting on, cooking, and owning one...in a confined area...for a 5-8 hour shift...you are so lucky...fortunate...that there is an entry point, where patrons can eat, or drink, OUTSIDE!...now, some of you are cursing at the Horse...yes, happens more in SoCal...you may work in a colder, much colder, place in the country...my point, is that you can traverse OUTSIDE, and breathe in the FRESH AIR!...I noticed this last nite, while we were at one here in the Gaslamp...Las Hadas...which we have re-found...long story...and ALL the worker bees, would find time to come out in the front...where we were seated...I get it....I would, too...it was like when I was teaching...I always desired the rooms with windows...do YOU know what I mean?... The Friars are in NY, taking on the damned Yankees...guess what?...we won!...a 5-1 smiling effort...Jr hit a dinger and got to give it back to the RF clan ...

The Friday Follies

Image
The Oath Keepers founder, was just sentenced to 18 years in prison...for his part in the Coup attempt. ..call it what you want...and the thing that still gets me...the orchestrator, is still playing golf in DeSantis's Florida (DF)...free as a bird...as yet another of his pawns goes into the slammer...his vow, to pardon them all...when he gets elected, is enough to gag a maggot...yes, kids, this is what we are down to... I have told you about our 'shelter in place' ....which we were NEVER given the go ahead...well, the Diego police say they have arrested a suspect...this is good, but how about clearing the proclamation... The Celtics had no problem with the Heat, and close the gap to 3-2 ...heed my warning, this is the team that could break the 150-0 sweep curse...they have the talent...next game is back in DeSantis's Florida (DF)... The Friars in a dramatic come from behind win in DC ...down in the 9th...2 outs, and Odor hits a 3 run dinger to win the game...much needed...

Test, Test, and then Test...Again

Image
The launch of your next republican candidates name to the list who wants to be the nomination of that party...was a disaster...no surprise...as DeSantis of Florida (DF) did it again ...he was trying to use the social media Twitter...and it turned into a debacle...couldn't get the message out right...listen, dude...you need to Test, Test, and then Test...again...before you come on the web net...let alone, he is way far down on the list of possibles...as I have said before, he is more trouble to all of us...than even donny...his rule in Florida is an exact example of what he is capable of...republicans, there are many people out there...find yourself one better than this one...which shouldn't be that hard... I told you about our 'shelter in place' episode...really, we haven't had the 'all clear' yet ...thus far, the police have no clue who he was, where he went, no nothing...at least, that's what we have been told...or, not told...told was the key word in ...

Bologna

Image
Baa-low-knee ...yes, that is the pronunciation...who'd a thunk this one up?...another of the crazee spelling snafus in this language...why am I bringing this up today, Horse?...I am asking myself...it's what I do...talk to myself...do it a lot on the golf course...swear at myself...do you ever do that?... Bologna was a staple when I was a youngin...not exactly sure what was in it...beef, pork, chicken...parts or whatever...really didn't care...it was sorta meat...yup, didn't want to know...it was what we had...surely, cuz it was affordable...a gourmet sandwich was it and a lathering of Miracle Whip in so yummy white, balloon bread...I loved it...in later years, like in college, I had am amigo who would fry his bologna up...you know, for some fine heated meat... As time went by...we, the gang, would use bologna as slang for something that wasn't a truth...somehow, whoever comes up with slang...decided to start it, cuz they KNEW bologna was all fake something...come t...

Getting it Right

Image
Condo living...has some repairs to it also...like a home?...a house?...no...but, inside the structure...yup ...as we have had some stuff...the expert window cleaner...we have gobs of windows...amazing...our ice maker went on the Fritz (what on earth is that slang?)...had it replaced...and today, we have a carpet dude, here, to stretch out the carpets...of course, we are dependent on the many people above us, to keep their units running properly...we are on floor 5, there are 35 floors... The whole living arrangement is kinda cool ...great views...we have 2 decks...24 hour security...walking to restaurants, bars, and parks...and to Petco for the Friars...we are 5 minutes away from Amtrak...10 minutes away from the airport...2 blocks away from the trolley, which goes most everywhere...and we have Lyft and Uber available 24 hrs...our Doc is 15 minutes away and messages us whatever we need...rad... Yes, this vertical living has it's plusses ...it wasn't cheap, but nuttin is in SoCa...

The Idol

Image
For all of you who have followed the American Idol Show thru the years...I have to think that this one was one of the best ...the judges are spot on...they appear to really care about the contestants...there is none better than Lionel Ritchie....just a class act... The fan vote is always a quizzical thang...the tally and all ...as you know, I am skeptical about any of this...I like to see actual numbers...as I have queried the process from day 1...but, that is what most of these talent shows do...'trust us'...the other one, the Dancing With the Stars...who knows... The Hawaiian kid was clearly the fav this time around ...at least for the Horse...and the crowd in attendance, too...HE WON!...but over the years, there have been some great winners, and especially some runner ups...that have been stars in waiting... Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson, Kat McPhee, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Jordan Sparks, t...

Oh, the Pain

Sports...there are winners and losers...it is the nature of it all...the highs and the lows ...'act like you've been there'...'only the good survive'...'nice guys finish last'...the sayings are countless...and are used by most every coach or leader in the game...ah, games...motivation...stabilization...realization...if you are a sports junkie, you will see this...especially in the South SoCal area...as the Friars are fumbling about...diving near the bottom...why?...the 'talent' is there...so what gives?... 'The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat'. ..ABC... The NBA...you KNOW the powers to be...like the TV people and their ratings ...so dearly want the Lakers and Celtics in the finals...the script is set...and yet...the other two teams in the mix, are altering that outcome...the Nuggets are now up 3 nil...and the Heat are hosting today, at 2 nil...so sorry, TV folks...as you know in sports, it's not over 'til the ____________ si...
