The Derby

Image
Much like the Masters in golf...there is but one annual race that all the horse owners want, badly...this is the one to get. .. the Kentucky Derby ...have never been, but have gone to countless horse racing venues over my time on this earth...yup, as far as Florida, too...but never at Keeneland, or Churchill Downs in Kentucky...thinking back, with a tear in my eye, many of my co-bettors over the years have passed...Rick Z is the remaining one, I think...nevertheless, we venture on...trying to handicap the race... My $ is scattered all over the place...and have an inkling for a closer ...but, really, outside of 'Mine That Bird', the long shots usually are hard to peg...guess I will try to get Boss to make some Mint Juleps to celebrate the festive occasion... These magnificent 3 year old animals ...I am truly amazed at the beauty of them...often, at Del Mar, the great ones race here...I like to go to the paddock and just watch them prance around...gosh, they are YUGE!...sorry, I ...

The Sweet Aroma

Image
Waking up to the sweet aroma of... COFFEE! ...for the past month, the Horse finally got into gear...using the program feature on the coffee maker...so, I set it all up...and when I awaken, the sanguine smell of the freshly brewed, surrounds the condo...it is simply, divine...do you do this?...this is one of those, 'Horse highly recommends'...things...much like the 'Oprah choices'...trust me... Surviving...yea, the show...Survivor ...this season is a goodun...as the last 2 very strong contestants, went bye bye, with an Idol in their pocket!...they got hornswoggled...the remaining troop, got into their minds...that they were safe at the tribal council...ah, all of you out there, KNOW, that if you are in my very own tribal council, YOU ARE NOT SAFE!...not to be trusted... Agitators...I just wonder who is behind all these college campus riots? ...as many of those who have been arrested...are not from the school...hmmm...so, somebody is pulling the strings...who is it?...whe...

May Day

Image
Around here in SoCal, it has it's very own terminology ' May Gray ' ' ...hmmm, since we have had oodles of the wet stuff in the past couple of months...perhaps, that will change the name to 'May Days of Sunshine' ...guess it doesn't have the same clique in it, does it... yet, all this week, we are to have bodacious warm weather...sunny and highly enjoyable...right, just in time to enjoy our 'White Rabbit's' new lid...going out to Santee to fetch her this am... Speaking of Santee...never been there before ...east...well Northeast of my golfing empire, Singing Hills...kinda cute town...with a Costco that not only did I drive right into the gas pumps, no line no waiting...but in the warehouse, I think 1/2 of what we normally bump into, the people...go back?...yea, maybe... More on the kids (us) Keto based diet ...sifting thru what is there...Costco...which they have a lot of items...a totally different look from what we used to...do...no carbs and ...

Blimey, It's Bills Day

Image
The end of the month, children...which tells me, that I have to pay them damn bills... BLIMEY! ...sure seems like April flew by...guess having two trips in it, muddled up the timing...add Bozo's trial, and we have a slammed calendar... Speaking of...the trump hush money criminal trial...continues on this am...as he was just hit with a $9,000 fine for violating the gag order ...he should be happy that is the amount that is warranted in NY...seems so minimal...should be 100 times that...shut your mouth, dude...he commented on having to sit through 8 hours of very cold temp in the courtroom...aren't there are others in the room, withering away, too?...all BECAUSE of his actions...ah, alleged actions...just saw, that if he continues on...the judge is debating jail time for trump...you KNOW, Bozo will test this threat... The Pro-Palestinian whatevers...at some Universities...MANY of those already arrested for them...are NOT students at the U's ...hmmm...the latest idea of stormi...

The Beat Goes On

Image
The beat goes on and on...and on...love the era of Sonny and Cher...as we dance thru the end of April....the NBA playoffs loading us with some intrigue...wondering how the Phoenix Suns can be swept out to sea...are the Minnesota TWolves that good?...maybe...tonight, the Nuggets will depose of the LeBron Lakers...bye bye...and then...they match up with the Wolves...guess I am only watching the west... We went to the Friars show yesterday, via the good graces of our son...it was the kids day at the park...bounce houses, batting, pitching, painting, coloring...all that grandson Cy Cy took in...sold out game and a madhouse...more of an experience, than watching the Padres lose...again...as we had a wondrous time with them... The weather people say we are going to warm up...like into the 80's by the end of the week...really?...it has been a weird off season...more rain than ever, since we have been here...about two decades...I will say, we love it in San Diego...and it was a great move ...

We Are All The Same

Image
One of my absolute favorite comedy groups of all time...and my mother's, too...is this duo out of South Dakota...'Williams and Ree'...talk and singing thing they do...'The Indian and the White Guy'...which do the obvious play on the different races of each...it is hilarious!...YET...a line they have used for years...after all the silliness, is that 'We Are All The Same!'...are we?...man, this is being tested all over the world...and dang it all, back in the states all over again...time doesn't march on too well...thanks donny... Philosophical?...more a reality...the Gaza thing...Ukraine...too much of Africa...and now, the red and blue states...the melding of people just can't happen... can anyone out there tell me why?...is it stupified leadership?...religion?...or, just the color of our skin?...I don't get it... Sports...of course, the Friars got lit up again...the Phillies are better...boo...and we are going out to the park today for game 3...h...
