32 Hour Work Week?

Image
One of my fav Senators, Bernie Sanders...is throwing out the idea of a 32 hour work week ...c'mon Senator,  not all of us are in Congress...most of us have worked like real hours...in my day, you got to be kidding about it...at least 50, often 55, or more...hours...as a teacher and coach...just can't fathom how your proposal works...if nothing else, it is a debate topic...for posterity, I still think he got the short end of the stick, back in the '16 primary as the Demos used the super delegates to demolish his bid for the presidency...forcing Hillary on us...such is politics... Tomorrow is Saint Paddy's Day ...you gots your green ready?...not sure if Boss and I are gonna roam down at the Gaslamp, yet...it's always a site to be behold...oops, sight...well, thinking about it, that could go either way...you a fan of the Guinness?...not me, the Coors Light is sufficient...the luck of the Irish and all that nonsense...I'll drink to that...corned beef...bangers...fis...

The Absurd

Image
The political field can be a very strange land...right?...somehow, RFK, Jr, is still in the race for Prez...or is he?...I dunno...what is his party affiliation?...he can't be republican can he?...all the Kennedys would have cringed in shame...well, get this...he is floating naming a VP choice for 'his' ticket...and one of the names is the Jet's injured QB, Aaron Rodgers...egads...the NFL New York Jets...makes as much sense as MTG, named anywhere...sorry, you forevers, but it's the truth...hey, orange hasn't name his yet, either...the suspense of it all...he appears to be keeping it in the family, with the RNC co-chair being Erik's wife...my guess is it will be Ivanka's hubby, Jared Kushner...perfect... The Friars landed a prized SP after all...the White Sox ace, Dylan Cease...the Chi-town team is in a garage sale, trying to build back up thru 'prospects', ah, minor leaguers...the fire sale is on, and GM AJ took advantage...now, if we can just fin...

The Osage Nation

Image
I kind of skipped over this...but, as haunting a performance at the OSCAR'S, was the authentic Osage Nation Singers ...representing the flick, 'Killers of the Flower Moon'...perhaps it is my Native background, or it was just the experience of years that have gone by...I dunno...it brought tears to my eyes...BTW, we TRIED to watch 'Poor Things' that featured the Oscar winner, Emma Stone...ah, and she won over the gal in 'Killers?'...Lily Gladstone...c'mon voters...hope this wasn't racially charged...going to take you back to a concert we saw at a casino, some 20 years ago...it was all native singers...and the voices were seemingly crying...if you listen to the music deeply...you TOO, will hear it... Just after trump gets some scratch from Chubb...he pops off on the court case he lost ...which makes me wonder if she is going to sue him some more...again...she should...the guy just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut...and should have to pay fo...

The Oscars

Image
I liked the broadcast...The Oscars ...Jimmy Kimmel, the host, was simply quick and grand...the voting?...never can figure it out, or who does it...it is what it is...love the interludes...the singing stuff...Ken by Ken himself, Ryan Gosling, was simply fun...and needed...the Osage Nation Singers were stunning and passionate...loved it...Oppenheimer must be a good flick, after winning so much...or the producers must be hell bent on success...same for the other big winner, Poor Things...this is the kind of show, I don't like...this time around, yes... What is with all this fighting in gals hoops? ...it has gone on to another, most disturbing level...hey, coaches, it's all about you...control your team...thinking back, I don't believe I ever had a player fight...in all my different types of teams...does it make for good tv?...I dunno...stop it... Your foo, trump, just had to publish a commentary on the Oscars ...backfired, of course...as Kimmel roasted the orange...donny just ...

Back Home

Image
Nothing like, coming back home...ah, to the home ...it's great to go fishing...like see other areas...and folk...but, nothing like being home...right?...as we stretch out and relax...Boss did part of the driving, which really helps...anyhoo, here we are... Too bad we did not see the starters in Phoenix...it's the gamble of going ....like doing the same at a NBA game...except, that could be any regular season game...not in the MLB...it's not like they are paid millions of bucks...well, yet it is...play the games, you rich snobs... College hoops are at a very interesting spot...regardless of parity, and the occasional upsets...the notion of 'storming the court' has become more of an issue ...the fans are delirious...so, the AD's have made a strong commitment to NOT allowing the rush to the court...after a win...BUT, it is the newly done thing that gets me...taunting, after the visiting team wins...just like UNC did at Cameron Field house at Duke...the Tar Heels wo...
