What’s Important?

-

The Bills owner and the general manager held a press conference that left the community in an uproar because they fired the coach.

Meanwhile, the leader of the free world held a couple of rambling, nonsensical press conferences where he spoke of stealing Greenland.

And the country collectively shrugged.

There are reports out that the president has made $1.4 billion since he was ‘elected’ (more like appointed by Musk) last year.

Shrug.

He’s not supposed to make money off his position.

The Epstein Files, by law, were supposed to be fully released in late December.

They aren’t being released. (Because the giant turd is in them).

The reporters at the press conference did not ask a single question about the non-release of the files about a pedophile ring.

Not important enough, I guess.

The world remains upside down, and I guess, even though it has been all bad news regarding the local sports team, at least it takes people’s attention off the fact that we’re being played.

The latest Greenland talk says that America will give each resident of Greenland $100,000.

As you worry about healthcare and eating and all that boring every day crap…

…we can cough up 100 g’s for every resident of Greenland, but kids can’t get a free lunch at school here because that’s socialism.

Someday.

We will figure out what’s important.

But until then can you believe how mean the Bills owner was to one of the wide receivers?

Heart Heavy

A couple of things happened over the weekend. First off, I couldn't take sitting around not being a part of the world. I decided to forego a portion of my rest my sore tendon. I got up off the couch and headed to work. I just couldn't take what I was seeing on the news and feeling in my heavy heart. Just too much. I headed for the convenience store and my daily chat with a real nice lady who collects my money for the papers. I pointed to the headline about the president's speech on Sunday night. She started crying. I thought of my wife crying as Obama read off the names of the children. I thought of the Bruce song: This is a prayer for the souls of the departed, those who've gone and left their parents broken-hearted. Their lives over before they got started. This is a prayer for the souls of the departed. My boy was still waiting in the driveway for his bus to come. I wanted to grab him and hug him, but he's 15. He might have kneed me in a bad spot...

A Grand Time

“Are You An Idiot?” was sort of a pop song in a career filled with more ambitious books, but it did something that none of the others did. It won the whole damn thing. We walked into the festival in the famous Academy room at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood (they film the Jimmy Kimmel Show next door) and Bruce Haring the event organizer greeted me with the news that I would speak last because “Are You An Idiot?” was the Grand Festival Award Winner. There were 9 festivals across the country that all had winners, including the Hollywood Beach Festival which “Are You An Idiot?” won. It was also chosen as the winner of all 9 festivals. Grand. I made a quick speech - it’s on my Author’s Facebook Page and then we called it a night. We have the Hollywood tour package in the morning and we are kicking around going to the Hollywood Bowl for ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ or the Santa Monica Pier. An awards show is a long night, and we heard from about 40 winners. A couple of the authors cried as the...

There’s Still Greatness

The other night I got home from work and Kathy and Sam were engaged in a game of backgammon. Sam had never played and wanted to learn. He got some late doubles and won his debut game. (I helped a little). And I thought of my buddy, Gag. We were roommates at Gannon back in 1983. We played at least 25 games of backgammon a night. By the end of the year he wound up beating me by just a couple of games out of a few thousand. That’s 60-year-old Gag in the photo - running the Disney marathon with his son, MJ - they do it every year. To raise money for Duchenne MD research. “He’s running again?” Kathy asked me as we talked about the donation.  “Of course.” “Italian men, man,” Kathy said. “You’re a stubborn, loyal lot.” “I ain’t running no marathons,” I said. “Gag is a maniac.” I enjoy following the posts as the run progresses - on Saturday morning I was fighting a cold or some such crap… …and they were running in the rain in Florida. There is a lot of negative energy in the news we see br...
