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!”

They Did it Again
The American people are amazing. Just when my faith in us was starting to wane, they absolutely humiliate the Republicans and their Man Who Would Be King. Think about it. From all the pictures I saw, it looked like there were many more people IN the parade than actually bothered to show up for it.Continue reading “They Did it Again”
Seriously, Folks
The Changing of the Guard
So to speak. Everywhere you look, there are new faces replacing the, er, mature ones. Of course, there are still a few stubborn Union cocktail waitresses working in Vegas. As our sports heroes eventually age out, newer and even better, players are born and raised. In the tennis arena, the newest rivalry (what sport canContinue reading “The Changing of the Guard”
Rack ‘em Up
If you are having girlfriend problems…. No problem. Just leave. End of story. But DON’T throw her overboard into the ocean knowing that she does not know how to swim. That’s just downright rude. Helen Hunt feels really good about rejecting Hollywood’s beauty standards, but it’s not like she was ever a raging beauty inContinue reading “Rack ‘em Up”
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…”
Kings and Dumbasses
Some dumbass in Oklahoma (where else?) is being put to death thirteen years after he set a “beloved” grandmother on fire. Jeez. I wonder what he’d do if he really, really loved her? Dumbass Thomas David Carruth, a 64-year old former judge, will sit in jail for the next two years as part of hisContinue reading “Kings and Dumbasses”
Come and Get It
Equipment failure. Passenger issues. Pilot error. Kind of makes me glad I don’t fly anywhere anymore. Way too much drama, and before you ask, the answer is “hell no!” if you want me to give up my 1st class seat. For ANY reason, unless you happen to be holding a gun on me. A newContinue reading “Come and Get It”
Move Along
Nothing to see here. Except maybe Steph Curry doing things that only he can as the Golden State Warriors go into Houston and take down the scrappy Rockets in game seven of their Western Conference playoff series. Or Caitlin Clark launching (nothing but net) logo three-pointers as thousands of little girls watch on. I absolutelyContinue reading “Move Along”
