As March continues to roar like a lion, I am reminded of my own words that I have repeated many times . “ When Laura and Mary Kate are of college age I will only be found in warm climates during the winter months.” Last Tuesday, after I could not get my car out of the driveway due to 30 inch snow drifts , I had reached a breaking point . I returned to my place of refuge and wrote down the recent stream of consciousness that has been flowing through my mind.
It is quite possible Donald Trump is on to something… global warm might be a hoax after all.
Someone told me shoveling snow was one of the leading causes of death for men over 50……. I am one hundred percent sure that is not how I will die.
Sydney Australia looks real nice this time of year….. something about it being on the other side of the hemisphere.
My college spring break was a couple a days in Atlantic City………not a cruise to Cozumel.
Sean Spicer should think about wearing a helmet before Trump shoots him out of a cannon every day.
I am not even close to being over the Super Bowl…… but hopeful I will be, by September.
Nocturnal Animals was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time….. It was written and acted for only the big and the brave . Promise not to be a spoiler , but, there are two endings and both are great..
I wish I had traveled to warm places when I was in college. Instead I live vicariously through my two daughters.
If I haven’t said it enough, my daughter Laura is basically perfect.
Gay Talese wrote a new book called ‘High Points’. In the book is a re-publication of the story he wrote for Vanity Fair in 1966. It is called ‘Frank Sinatra has a Cold”. If you are a fan of the Rat Pack or simply enjoy brilliant writing it is must read. Yeah I know hard to believe…… Gay Talese is still alive.
Just when I am losing total interest in watching sports on TV I got in see Wisconsin upset Villanova and Michigan upset Louisville …… and oh yeah The Masters is coming up. I think I’ll stay tuned for another week and a half.
Mary Kate goes to the beach. I am in the snow. Oh look–there goes MK jumping from a plane. Oh look—there goes Mk climbing the Blue Mountains. Oh look—there is Mk at a Justin Bieber concert.
I wear over-priced clothing… some of my friends even call me pretentious ……..they must be joking , right?
I attended father- daughter sorority week-end alone last year at FSU. This year it is mother- daughter sorority week-end …… . I will be along for the ride.
I can’t wait to get back to recording my conversations. I have two scheduled in the next few weeks.
Mo’ money mo ’problems .
The science fiction, fantasy genre usually does nothing for me. With ‘Game of Thrones’ I make an exception. Bring on the dragons, ice walls, dead walkers, eunuchs, wildlings, and Giants. The chase to the throne continues in late April…. I can’t wait.
Geography is not my specialty , but when you accuse of me of not knowing what continent Mexico is a part of you better be ready to fight…… I’m sure it’s in South America?
Trump claims that evidence of voter fraud and Obama’s wire tapping will be brought forth shortly. Pretty much will be about the same time O.J.’s going to bring forth the real killer of Ron and Nicole.
We all have people in our families we wouldn’t mind never seeing again……. But that little guy in North Korea takes things a little too far…. Don’t you think?
Seeing A-Rod prancing around Miami with J-Lo gives me goose bumps. I think this time it may be true love.
Make me watch La La Land.
I know, I know , you never can tell what weather March brings to the Northeast…….but still
Listening to congressional hearings regarding the Russian influence on our recent Presidential election is eye opening. Now what happened election day at my polling place makes sense. That guy walking around whispering to everyone “ we know where you live comrade, vote for Trump.” I am now convinced this is the reason Hillary Clinton lost.
Ok Mary Kate you don’t have to keep convincing me , I am believe you that University of Sydney is equivalent to a Ivy League school.
Laura is living large in Tallahassee . Mary Kate is soaking up the Australian sun. I am here in the snow. I will complain all I want about my upside down world.
Upside-down and inside-out……just like my pockets.
Oh look – there goes MK to the Australian rules football championships.
