The Opening Act

-




'Here we are, in a room full of strangers...'...(Bee Gees)...ah, we opted not to do this...this Thanksgiving...the idea of going to a restaurant to have a Turkey Din Din...well, not this time...as we are sharing our table with them crazy Mackles...

Thanksgiving...over the years...ah, my 77 of them...the meaning of it has changed...many times...the one thing that hasn't...friends...being with family and friends...lord, the passing of my family, and Boss's...it has been a time of gatherings...most are gone now...enough of that...as all people our ages, have the same feelings...and remembrances....I doubt that the present generation gets into that...celebrating and things are in the past...as they have moved to another phase...theirs...as the famous philosopher once said 'it is what it is'...

With all the hoopla of closing the borders...it makes me laugh and gets me angered at the same time...listen, you all are invaders...you all are illegals...well, not really, but it sounds great from us Injuns...lure us in with some food and wine, and we fell for it...damn...

Nowadays, in reality...Thanksgiving is the OPENING ACT for the Holidays...time to put up the Xmas Tree...hang the outside lights...figure out what presents (if any) to give to all...really, I love the show...it could last longer for moi...lurve the festivities...as the concerts that we have gone to were so great...in celebration...Johnny Mathis...his...Sara Evans...hers...and we were treated to a pre-holday song by LeeAnn Rimes 'Blue Christmas'...not the Elvis version...just last week...tears in the eyes, so beautiful...this is the lighting of the Marriott on the bay in San Diego...

NFL Football...is now a staple of the day...3 games today...I can recall, all us men...and a few women...watching the games on days past...seemingly the Cowboys and the Lions had games, like always,  on Thanksgiving Day...reminding me of John Madden eating them humongous turkey legs with the MVP...it was simply rad...

Knowing that there is to be a lot of cooking to be done today...we opted to hit Las Hadas for Mexican food last eve...it was great...and smart...shoot, we start within the hour...the cooking phase...turkey in...

The Horse wishes you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day...whatever it's meaning is to you...if you'd like to share your feelings, and perhaps your memories...please do...it's that time of year...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
