By now the aircraft collision over the Potomac River is old news, but you can’t look away, either. The same with the D.C. crash. I hate that about human nature. I also wonder how long it will take to uncover the whole story about what really happened. We know it’s coming. Nothing ever happens exactlyContinue reading “The Whole Story”

Still Worth It?
You have to wonder. Our borders have been open to immigrants from all over the world, and I always thought, their own country must be really bad if they want to come here. They might want to think twice now. The president signed an Executive Order getting the infamous facility at Guantanamo prepped for certainContinue reading “Still Worth It?”
Standards
They should be just what they sound like; set, immovable, intractable and not to be trifled with and avoiding, at all costs, the possibility of lowering your standards. I used to joke to my golf buddies that as much mistrust I have of the medical profession (business), I would still rather have a doctor doContinue reading “Standards”
When All Else Fails…
What do you do when you have to accomplish something and you have tried everything imaginable to no avail? Most people will stop at what they think are their limitations. Parents tell us (as all parents should tell their children) that we can “accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.” They aren’t lying.Continue reading “When All Else Fails…”
Turn the Page (again)
It’s been five days since my Irish got whipped by the Ohio State Buckeyes in the national championship game. And contrary to popular belief in South Bend, the sun did indeed rise today. My boys did me proud, but there was no mistake they were beaten by a bigger, stronger, and faster team. Good coachingContinue reading “Turn the Page (again)”
Relax
The point spread for the college football national championship game between the infidels from Ohio State vs. God’s chosen gladiators of the gridiron, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, has been posted. You can tell I’m impartial. Nine and a half points. So all the gambling “experts” have stated that the Buckeyes will easily defeat theContinue reading “Relax”
YODO
I go nuts when I see pictures and read stories of young daredevils tempting fate and the Gods and risk the one and only life they have been granted. I thought it would subside after the initial videos started and perpetuated the YOLO movement of one-upmanship. But no. I still haven’t actual physical proofContinue reading “YODO”
Baby its Cold Outside…
But it’s freezing in your heart. To quote a great songwriter (me). We got about eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours and its still coming down at noon EST. My two doggies, Arizona weather-weenies, are none too pleased. So, I’m checking out the news which I have not visited in some timeContinue reading “Baby its Cold Outside…”
I Missed a lot…
Evidently. Jimmy Carter died. He always seemed like a pretty straight shooter to me. And he loved his wife and family. A good God-fearing man. Rest in peace, sir. I love everything about the College Football Playoffs, except one little change I would make. Reward the top-4 ranked teams with the first round byes. SpeakingContinue reading “I Missed a lot…”
Glory United!
Of course I had to lead off with that. Manchester United 2 Manchester City 1. With as much crap I tend to pile on the squad for a lack of fire in their play, it seems that new manager Ruben Amorim has lit a fire under the lads. I was one who pointed out theContinue reading “Glory United!”
