Moderator:  Mrs. Warren…do you have a question? Warren:       Could we please take potty break? Moderator:   Why, of course…you’re excused and would you and mega bucks Mike mind going to the casino for an hour while we finish this?

Best quote of the year by a resident of Virginia. ‘You’d have a better chance laying in a creek and kissing a copperhead than taking the guns from Virginians.’

Sweat fest

I volunteered to go to the store last Saturday as it seems a bit unfair that Sally is the shopper 4-5 days a week. My charge was to pick up milk, black beans, corn, and some cheese. I also knew that it was time to get some mustard and that a new style/brand was in […]

Pastor Doug related this story on Sunday. A missionary was in Africa serving the poorest of the poor. He was running low on medical and other supplies and embarked on a two day trip to the nearest village on a rickety bicycle. When he arrived, he witnessed two teenagers fighting and stepped in to break […]

Bye, bye

I’m so glad the library called yesterday to advise that a book I’d ordered had arrived. Sally and her friends were watching a recorded show of The Bachelor and it was obvious it was time for me to abandon ship. How did I know? Well…when the word ‘like’ is used an average of 3 times […]

Payback is hell. Hey Adam…John Bolton is available if you want to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Ukrainian hacking of the Iowa caucus. Maybe Comey, Brennan, and Clapper can join before they go before the grand jury.

Waaaaaaaaa

This may turn out to be the picture of the year. Accompanied by glimpses of ultra glum Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler whose charade ends today, how entertaining to watch crazy Nancy squirm for ninety minutes as the president highlighted accomplishments of the last three years and set the tone for his re-election. It was […]

A very young cowboy ran into Cooper and his brother Logan today near the tennis courts. Cooper was practicing hoops to get ready for an afternoon game at Ken Caryl. He is a good shooter and seems to love the game. He got a lesson from Michael Jordan and Walter Davis today and hope he […]

Sally shared an idea with me this morning. It was a recipe from a magazine she was reading and she wondered if I was interested in taking it to a Super Bowl party tomorrow. The appetizer is called Brussels Sprouts Nachos with Pickled Chiles. I had to tell her this story and politely ask for […]

Kudos to Sophia Kenin for winning The Australian Open! I tuned in when the score was 2-2 in the third set. She went down love – 40 on her serve and things looked very dicey. Unfazed, she fought back to deuce and ending up winning that crucial game. Down 15-40 in the following game, she […]
