The Influencers

Image
Just got a reminder that we are not in the 'real world' of what's what...as the 'new to us' trend...is to hire INFLUENCERS to inhabit the space of businesses .. .then they Tik Tok to all their millions of followers of the great place they are at ...I suppose that is what made KK famous...it's a newish form of advertising...and really, it meets more people than an advertisement in a newspaper...the long lost form of, well, news...and ads...guess the business is hoping that all the followers of that 'Influencer' is the type that has scratch.... got to believe it is a calculated gamble...did you already know this?... After we got home last eve...we scanned a local pub and eatery...OK, we stopped for a drink... walking, JT, walking ...got a call from the owner's wife...what the heck?... the Horse left his wallet there ...what's the chance that the establishment had it?... it's my 2nd case of ineptness ...Boss is now saying, I am not allowed to c...

I Remember You

Image
It is nearing the summer time of recollections...wait, Horse, you forgot to announce we indeed are in SUMMER now! ...yes, spring has sprung...the gaggle of reconvening is about to commence...what on earth are you talking about?...the REUNION SEASON ... time to shimmy, shape up, botox, and paint your hair...glam for the time to see your old buds...drive up, train in, fly in...whatever...get your hotel, motel, or whatever plans made... Boss has her 50th...and there are so many others planned...as we witness on Facebook ...my group has mini-reunions throughout the year...which I am out of, as, well, where we live...but the worst...yes, the worst...is when one comes up to you and says 'Hi Shep' ...and I have no clue to whom I am speaking...the obligatory, 'I remember you' ... That song, was a huge hit...back in the day...by Frank Ifield ...unfortunately for him, he was battling the charts with the beginning of the Beatles...isn't it great, that most of your memories ar...

The Debate Camps

Image
In a short week, the 27th of June...Debate #1 will be held for the 2 candy peops for Prez...CNN hosts the fray, with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as the moderators...in Atlanta, Georgia ....there shall be no audience...well, there will be out in TeeVee land, but not in the studio... Prez Biden vs trump ...RFK Jr, tried in vain to be included, but failed to meet the criteria...must have been too young, tongue in cheek...and now, it has been rumored, that the combatants are deep in the midst of preparation...at their camps...geez, wonder who could be at Bozo's?...the Horse is surprised that he is actually going to show... Get this...your fav blogger...is going to miss the live broadcast...it's true ...we have tix for the San Diego Fair...and premium seats for one of our groupie singers... Little Big Town ...to be fair and honest...I got these prior to the notice of the debate date...they are better than the debate...fact...shall tape the debate... Saw 2 documentaries last eve from P...

Juneteenth

Image
You have seen and heard this all about...probably on your calendar...and there might be a chance that there is closure for many offices... JUNETEENTH ... the honor of the end of SLAVERY! ...the name given, is horrible...much like changing the Cleveland Indians to the Guardians...info on that, go to the Indian plight in the 20's in Oklahoma...anyhoo, it is what it is...and the country does recognize that this awful treatment of people had ended... Putin and Kim Jong Un, met to establish a stronger bond...that they would support each other, if attacked...right, someone will ATTACK them...if anything, they would be the aggressor...ah, see Ukraine... the 3rd person missing, is the Putin puppet, Bozo...soon to be behind bars... The folding Friars lost this last one, due to the closer...not closing...his 1st blown save of the season...too bad, as the Boys finally mustered up enough runs to win a game...nope...now at 5 straight L's...boo... We finished Netflix's series 'Fool M...

The Champs

Image
Aloha, my amigos...after missing yesterday, ah, the golf course beckoned...I have been left with discussing not only last nite's masterful W by the new NBA Champs, the Boston Celtics ...and the Father's Day Champ of the US Open, Bryan DeChambeau ...let's go...The Celtics...not sure how they recovered from a 38 point drubbing in Dallas...but, they did...with a methodical, minute by minute, beat down of the defenseless Mavericks...led by the two outstanding leaders of Boston, Jaylen (MVP) Brown and Jaysun Tatum...too bad they didn't give co-MVP's...terrific year for them...the best in the regular season, and in the playoffs...enuff said... The US Open ...in just a brutal survival of a very over-rated course in Pinehurst #2...in my thinking, a joke of a track... Bryson DeChambeau persevered ...as Rory McIlroy had one hand around his neck...as the long bombers dominated the championship...the LIV cave in, BD somehow got the crowd on his side...and I still have this feel...

The Father's Day

Image
Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there ... son, Cris, and his 2 lil toddlers ...hmmm, when have you heard of toddlers before?...like a forgotten word...we are going to celebrate the day by...well, I am going to watch the US Open...and then dindin at my fav, Eddie V's... pictured above is my dad...and mom...not sure of the date... Must tell you about a little jaunt to a party last eve...that was held at the Penthouse of a building nearby ...the deck was simply MASSIVE!...not sure if I have ever seen such a huge one...well, no, I haven't...the view was spectacular...and we had a glimpse of how the rich and famous live...20 years ago, I could not go on something like this...funny how times change...the height thing...perhaps, I am finally maturing... Mandatory...what does that mean? ...well the NY Jets have this 'mandatory camp'...and guess who didn't go?...only their starting QB, Aaron Rodgers...just think that may be shaking the rest of the players up a ...
