Why are people so upset with Joel Osteen?….. Would you want wet, smelly, hungry people traipsing through your new $100,000,000 house? How could Mr. Osteen possibly deliver the word of the Lord under those conditions?
Finally, I read a quote who’s application I have already mastered…….. “Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.”
Little Finger climbed the ladder as high as he could. Hard to fathom his death-dealing mistake was so elementary…… Don’t fuck with sisters!!!!!!!
It was so much fun filming a back to school video at New Paltz State University………I admit, our country’s future is in way better hands than I have ever given credit for.
OK, I got stuck when the students asked me what was the last book I read…….. I’m bad with titles, I have always been big on what is on the inside ……. Honest.
I did recently read ‘Midwinter Break’ …….the book demonstrates, that in novels anyway, girth doesn’t matter. Pick it up, you will struggle to put it down.
Another summer is in the books…… Here’s to this Fall and the hope that I can take another step towards making the rest of my life feel like the last day of spring.
One of my spies was ease dropping on God and The Devil’s weekly negotiations held at a small Tavern in Phoenicia N.Y. ………. He reported no deals were signed. I don’t know about you, but I take that as good news.
I certainly have plenty of issues with Facebook, but the people who scream the loudest that it is a source of “look at me”, are the first to post how many Bronze Medals they got at a ping pong tournament. How’s that saying go: “The Lady doth protest too much, methinks”?
Thank God I never looked at golf as a way of life, or a way to give me satisfaction in later years…….. Because if I had, I would be very miserable right now.
Speaking of God, I seem to being mentioning his name quite often lately….. Let me clarify I said “I am THINKING about getting out of my boat.”
I like Jordan Speith ……But since Tiger Woods fell off the map I watch very little golf on television. I doubt I am alone in my apathy.
Still, golf without Tiger Woods is far more appealing then viewing any of that three week tennis exhibition they hold in Flushing every year….100 players or more combined in men and women’s brackets, and maybe three have a legitimate chance to win the gold ball.
I agree it is genetic that women have evolved into motherly beings, “All men are babies, and their wives, at heart, want to mother them,” says an intelligent female confidant. Well my friend, I think in theory you might be on to something.
Not sure what I heard on a CNN report: “Trump swindles $1,000,000 from Hurricane Harvey relief fund ,”…….. or “Trump donates 1,000,000 of his own money to Hurricane relief fund for selfish tax purposes.”
Hillary Clinton’s new book is entitled “What Happened”………..This is the part in the show where we let the readers fill in the blanks.
Totally enjoyed the movie ‘Chronically Metropolitan’…… Nothing to do with the fact it was about a narcissistic writer and his dysfunctional family.
My 35 year college reunion is in a couple of weeks……… I am not sure of the meaning but I think it indicates that I was 22 the year I graduated from college and that was 35 years ago….. or something like that.
I have been told more than once recently that I enjoy the angst, the conflicts, and the doubts that pertain to life and spirituality ……. Those people are full of shit.
The “Wizard of Westwood” (John Wooden ) once said: “Worry about your character not your reputation. Your character is who you are, and your reputation is who people think you are.”………That works for me.
Started planning my travel itinerary for the fall and winter. So far I am only ruling out places …….. I started with Buffalo and Watertown.
The Tide of Alabama rolled over the Seminoles of Florida State in what might have been the biggest opening game ever of a college football season……. If Donna wasn’t such a Noles fan I wouldn’t even have watched the game. Either I am trying to prove a point or I really don’t care anymore. I’d bet on the latter.
Revisionist history or “fake news”……….Christopher Columbus did not discover the new world and was actually a slave trader. I am all for tearing down heroes, but let’s not discriminate.
It is official, Mary Kate did receive her credits for a semester in Australia. There is a “catch” of course ….. I found out all classes were graded with two options : Passed or Passed Satisfactorily. Education is way too expensive these days to allow for the possibility of failure.
The ladder of ambition is steep. Most prefer to never take the first step. I understand……….It is the long list of what they hide behind that cracks me up. I realize saying that is dropping me down a peg on my “I know I know nothing” climb.
A 25 year marriage is quite an accomplishment. Jim “Bones” Mackay carried Phil Mickelson’s bag to 41 PGA tour victories. Recently “Bones” decided to leave Phil’s services and take his own gig as a T.V. commentator. My friends ask how could he leave his boss and close friend after all this time? …………Well maybe, just maybe, he was tired of being somebody’s Caddy. Yeah, even if it is with one of the greatest golfers of all time you’re still the valet.
Even when you are confident it is long behind you, some pain never recedes…….. This time of year my nightmares are filled with me back in time, trying to follow the rules and claustrophobia of our illustrious educational system.
I have consistently received poor grades in “being patient with others while driving my vehicle.” So I conducted an experiment. For three weeks I drove my car with the utmost care and concern for pedestrians, runners, bikers, and other drivers……..I filed my findings in a four word report. “Returning to road rage.”
My Dad is turning 83 this November. It wasn’t until this past Sunday that I figured something out…….. I am to him what Mary Kate is too me. I feel so sorry for both of them.
My same spy in the Phoenicia Tavern did overhear the Devil say this: “I told you Olsteen was mine.”………God only laughed.
