Friars vs the Bums

This is what the playoffs in MLB should look like...a 5 game series, pitting the upstart Friars of San Diego versus the fat cats of LaLa Land, them Bums...it's one of those times, that if the Padres can win one of the games in Hollywood...then we could, make that might, sweep the Bloody Blue here in the best city in the world...here at the home, we are having a raucous room of devoted Friar Fans...ready to sweat out the games...BYOB...ha ha...why not a kegger you say?...the good old days of yesteryear...back at college...red solo cups...gettin pie eyed and out of control...wait, that could never have been the Horse...too much class for that...

Speaking of college...that is exactly where we saw the immortal Tom Jones, perform at...SDSU...up on the mountain...in an arena that was, well, built, like on a mountain...you went STRAIGHT down to your seats...we were lucky to be in the 9th row...well, I guess you could say unlucky...as we had to walk UP, after the show...all them steps...listen, kids...his voice was strong and still can belt it out...for an 84 yrs young bloke...didn't move like he used to...but, who does?...I guar-an-tee you I didn't yesterday, out at Singing Hills...forced to walk the course...dee-hy-dration...was cramping and ...well, it was NOT a good scene...back to the college...not sure what the dress code is...but, we saw most gal students with Taylor Swift shorts on...a far cry from when I went to school...dresses on 'til 5, then jeans acceptable after that...at EOC...which we called 'YUCK'...the guys?...no restrictions...the male dominated society of the 60's...I digress...the leadership, must have all been republicans...and men...

On the way...we dined in North Park...what a treat...inasmuch, as we will shimmy back over there again...terrific area...many restaurants and bars...fun vibe...OC, we used Uber/Lyft...and it is quite convenient...door to door service...the spot, One Door, we were blessed with great food and drink...a terrific waitress...and yes, I kept checking my phone for Duck scores...rude you say?...perhaps, but listen...I needs to know...as UO handily beat J Smith's Spartans...and that naysayer McIlroy, wrong again...you are wrong again, McIlroy...wrong...just a wild guess, but I think he is a MAGA...and hates the liberals out in Eugene...

Logical or illogical...the course I belong to...you know it, Singing Hills...just overseeded one of it's courses...and won't allow power carts on it...just walkers, with push carts....OK...but, I don't understand not having power carts, that stay on the paths...dudes like me, die out there...it's like walking and pushing the carts in sand...will NEVER do that again...never...never...

This is a must...if you are into vinyl...the new release of Little Big Towns' Christmas Album...the Horse has previewed it, and it is magical...dang, I want to put up the tree and lights...and all that...of course, I am a real true LBT groupie...

'Wouldn't it be nice'....if we won game 1...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
