What's New?

So there have been a lot of headlines that have sort of passed me by since I became thoroughly disgusted with the world and all the politics, but we have to touch on a few, right?

Did you see Eva Longoria's dress sway up showing her going commando?

Me neither.

How about the Tea Party crap?

Not to say that I'm a big fan of the IRS - who the hell can root for them - but it's terrible when a group of people flock together and try and push their agenda on others without thought to what the other factions are thinking. I mean, who has time for prejudice, crazed agendas and close-mindedness?

Right Tea Party?

And what to make of the drone strikes and all the other acts of terrorism?

Do you see that there are women out there who actually are smitten with the surviving Boston bomber?

"He's really cute," one lady said on the streets of New York.

Really?

He set off a bomb in a public place, shot at the cops, ran over his brother's melon and tried to kill himself in the back of a boat in some guy's back yard.

How do you bring that guy home to meet the parents?

It's a crazy freaking world, isn't it?

Jodi Arias is heading for a life behind bars or death. I just can't believe that the jury didn't buy her story that it wasn't her fault. She did everything but take the freaking skin off the guy.

Yeah.

Self-defense.

Good riddance.

Then mix in the acts of nature, the Yankees on the D.L., and LeBron still winning and it makes for a very anxious me.

Ah well, 3 day weekend coming up...if we get to it. Thinking party at Jim's, a few laughs with the family, and some baseball mixed in. Melky and Paor-Pair are looking forward to the extra car rides.

Have a great Memorial Day.

Be safe. Get a driver if you need one. Eat until your heart is content...

...and Go Yankees!

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

Eyes on the Horizon

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
