J-Lo & A-Rod

-

Say it isn’t so!

News came down the line that their relatives was kaput and that A-Rod may have had an affair. 

So sad.

We’re all broken up about it here at Camp Clifford.

I’m kidding.

We don’t care.

I had a hard time becoming an A-Rod fan. I liked him in ‘09 when he homered a few times in the playoffs.

Hated him when he kept getting busted for steroids. Liked him a little more when he owned up to it, and I have enjoyed him as an announcer.

So, it’s complicated, but I would never trust him to be real about anything.

Just a phony.

And J-Lo?

How many relationships do I know about?

She almost married Ben Affleck. Remember that? Marc Anthony dumped her, I think.

I know way too much about her love life.

She gets dumped or dumps people regularly. Like Jennifer Aniston, she can’t seem to catch a break.

We have a running joke when we are watching a girl who looks like that starring in a movie about how lonely they are because they can’t find a man who is interested.

“Poor J-Lo, she can’t find anyone who wants to be with her,” I’ll say.

“If she asked for applications for guys or even girls - who want to do her it’ll be in the billions,” Kathy says.

No more A-Rod for J-Lo.

So I still have a chance in capturing her heart and helping her find someone who loves her for being her.

Please.

She’s no Kathy Fazzolari.

But for some reason, we all click on that garbage.

“A-Rod and J-Lo broke up,” Sam announced about a half an hour after the tragic news broke.

Why does anyone care?

I hope those two kids will be all right.

So sad.

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

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 bet you tha

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’mon, Oliver,”
