It was tough watching Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton go down with a severed Achilles tendon last night in the seventh game of the NBA Finals. I can totally relate (to the injury, not the skill level) because the exact same thing happened to me back in 1982. I was opening up a large family restaurantContinue reading “Ouch!”

The Way of the World
She wanted to be famous. Now ol’ what’s-her-name from Tempe, Arizona (my old stomping grounds) is pushing up cacti. Dead in her teens. Thanks once again goes to TikTok. In this corner, weighing (according to himself) a svelte 180 pounds of all muscle, is the president of the United States. In this corner, outweighed byContinue reading “The Way of the World”
As I Was Saying…
Between the countries that we have been banned, or encouraged not to travel to, and the countries that are banning their citizens from visiting us, it just looks a whole lot easier to stay home, have a few cool ones, relax, and shoot the first person who makes a noise outside your front door. jk.Continue reading “As I Was Saying…”
The Oracle
Don’t think too highly of myself, do I? With my birth month and Mother’s Day in our rear-view mirrors, a North Carolina woman says hold everything…. She gets called in to her daughters’ school because of an alleged fighting situation which needed to be addressed immediately. So what does next years’ Mother of the YearContinue reading “The Oracle”
Without Fail
No matter how great you think you are, there is always someone, somewhere out there, who is better. I saw it a lot of it growing up as I started competitive tackle football at age seven. I would have started at age six, but I was caught trying to forge my parents’ signatures on theContinue reading “Without Fail”
Teamwork
Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”
Hold On!
Every time I turn around, Trump has signed another bill or made another proposal, or has even reached out to everybody and his brother for a conference. WTF? He didn’t do this much in the entire four years of his first presidency. I want to think that is a good thing, but part of meContinue reading “Hold On!”
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…”
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!”
What a World!
Juan Soto, the highly-coveted free agent outfielder from last season’s New York Yankees, has just signed a 760 million dollar contract to play baseball for the New York Mets until the year 2040. Just in case, he also received 75 million just for signing the contract. Are we paying our educators, the individuals responsible forContinue reading “What a World!”
