Sunday nights are much better when Game of Thrones is on………. Dragons, frozen walls, wildlings, imps, saucers, and of course Sansa.
Still waiting for the President’s people to get back to my people about having a sit down……. I can be patient.
Delivering a health plan for every American , that is better and cheaper than the one we have now ……… Some dreams can’t be realized.
Do you think Hillary Clinton is beginning to realize she actually won the election?
I know, I put the words in writing : “Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies”………… To think that I question my courage.
Jon Snow vs. Little Finger…………………if you know me, you know who I am betting on.
I admit my tastes in music are dated…….. in an effort to be more contemporary I have added the Lumineers and Passenger to the soundtrack in my car.
Is it something I am doing or saying?….. It seems lately people are telling me exactly how they feel .
This goes both ways ……. Mostly pleasant stuff , but I have endured more than one verbal attack recently.
One was from a much older man who got up from his chair during a conversation with me and said : “ You’re not who you think you are. If I were 20 years younger I would punch you right in the mouth.”
The other was an old high school friend who said nothing, but looked at me with the kind of disdain that says it all. “I think you are an asshole, I always thought you were an asshole.”
I am of course curious as to how the old man knows who I think I am……. I thought I was like everyone else still trying to figure that out.
Who really cares about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with the Russians……. Or Jared Kushner’s security clearance.
I heard the other day Tiger Woods checked himself into rehab……. I thought that is where he already was the last 10 years.
Someone named Roger Federer won Wimbledon …….. And I thought after Borg, McEnroe, and Connors were retired professional tennis died.
There are plenty of issues to beat up Trump on……… but please can we stop hearing about how the Russians are responsible for him being President. Forty years of corrupt and incompetent politicians had way more to do with Trump than Vladimir Putin.
CNN and FOX have completely lost all credibility with the exceptions of two groups….. The nuts from the left, and the nuts from the right.
It is obviously very difficult to satisfy all parties in terms of Health Care for Americans………..Truth is: teachers, government employees , police, firemen, all civil service workers don’t want anything to change. They are very happy with their coverage and don’t have to pay for it.
It applies directly to the old saying “Government pays for NOTHING, the taxpayers pay for EVERYTHING.
My friend in the restaurant business said something the other day about a mutual friend of mine that I can only hope somebody says about me someday……. “He’s got stuff figured out that the rest of us are not even close to.
I am not sure which news story is more annoying…….. Trump/Russia or O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing. Let’s just call it a tie.
“I am sorry for the way things turned out”, says O.J. What he really was saying: “ I could care less about the people I have hurt or killed I am just annoyed I had to spend time in jail.
Congratulations to Chris Deforest for winning the New York State Open golf tournament and the $17,500 that goes along with it. There are always many lessons in defeat. But this is a case where much can learned from victory.
Nobody gets in to see the Wizard …..Not Nobody, Not no how! ……. OK, ok he makes exceptions in certain instances.
In Emerald City The Wizard was way ahead of his time ……. He had already figured out the Lion was confusing courage with wisdom and the Tin Man was actually fortunate not to have a heart.
Oh My!
It was very eye opening having my recent conversations with Joe Ausanio and Charley Rosen…. Both former professional athletes who are great guys and have found happiness in life beyond sports.
I have it on good authority that God and the Devil meet once a week for a beer and some negotiations. Yes, they definitely discuss their clients and control of the market place. I only mention this because my contract is expiring in the fall……. I hate it when they fight over me.
Some things may seem like forever , nothing is. Relative to the short time we are here forever does not apply.
Raise your hand if High School was the best time of your life………. For those with their hands in the air all I can say is “You reap what you sew.”
Mary Kate is back from the land down under…….. In the one month since she has been home she has three speeding tickets, two blown out tires, and one fender bender. Total cost $2,457. In two weeks she heads back to Ithaca. I thought it was only fair for me to alert law enforcement there in advance.
Her sister is prepared to go back to Tallahassee in a couple of weeks…….. I have not seen her this summer. Last I heard she was stuck in one of the world’s airports.
As for me……….. Still working on leaving some things behind , trying hard to stay in the present, and always with one eye cracked open to the future.
