Thoughts of a Common Man

Had a visit with Mom yesterday, and somehow Dean Martin’s name came up. “I don’t remember him anymore,” Mom said. I pulled up a photo of Dino, and she smiled. “He looked like Dad,” Mom said, and that was certainly true. I put on “Everybody Loves Somebody” and Mom’s smile grew wider. “Oh yeah. He had a great voice, but I’m thinking of someone else.” “Frank Sinatra,” I said. Mom nodded. That was all I needed. I played six straight Sinatra songs, and during ‘Summer Wind’ Mom sang along. She knew every word, and every nuanced groan from Frank, and I noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. “Why are you crying?” I asked. She shrugged. “I don’t know.” “It’s because Dad sang all these songs to you,” I said. “He’d put the records on and blast them all through the house. He loved Sinatra.” “Why do you listen to him?” Mom asked. “Because Dad was right. Frank was great.” We listened to the last few minutes of “Summer Wind” and I said: “That’s one of my favorite songs ever,” and I meant it. “...

Those who know me are well aware that I love baseball. I am of the firm opinion that it is the greatest game ever invented, and the changes they made a couple of years ago made it even better. They got rid of the shift, and a lot of the dead time. When the season starts, I have a long-running soap opera to follow as I check every box score, and my day is better following a Yankees win the night before. Of course, I’m keeping an eye on the World Baseball Classic, and the team from the USA is absolutely stacked, and of course, they have the best hitter in the universe batting third, Aaron Judge. But I’m not sure I want them to win because they may be invited to the White House and I don’t want to think less of some of the players who might make the visit to shake hands with a criminal, pedophile. Some have mentioned that it would be a great opportunity to visit the White House no matter who is the president. 👎  No freaking way! Tage Thompson is the best player on the Buffalo Sabres,...

There was a rally on Tuesday night in Ohio. One lie after another. Bashing Obama for some reason because he bounced down the stairs. Called it below the standards of the office. He wore a baseball cap to greet the bodies of soldiers who died in his fake war. Then he danced to YMCA as bombs were going off all over the Middle East. He also golfed on Sunday. Having the time of his life, as every day brings more evidence that he raped children. I saw a woman, a victim, who was held at the island. She was raped, three times a day. She was 10 years old. She specifically mentioned Maxwell, Epstein and the orange pig. Ten years old! There are videos… …people have seen the videos… …they have chosen to try and hide it. I can’t just leave it out of this blog. I certainly don’t want to talk about it, or think about it, but most Americans are oblivious, or simply don’t believe it. I know why that is. It’s simply because it’s too horrifying to believe that a man would do such things to children. Our...

Happened to watch the second season of Ted - hilarious. I loved the movies too, and had a laughing fit in the movie theater when they visited Tom Brady to try and steal his sperm. I thought about the series and movie when Ollie jumped into my bed and tried to hide under me when the thunder started. “We’re thunder buddies,” I said. The other great show going right now is “Shrinking”. Harrison Ford is great in comedy. Yet, it’s the entire cast. It’s a funny show with a lot of heart. The Ted series is a little lower on the intellectual tree, but all goes in comedy. I’m alone when that series is on because Kathy’s response is: “This is stupid.” She automatically goes to a murder mystery when she’s watching alone. I’m always.s searching for the sit-com, but never “The Big Bang Theory” as Sheldon gets on my nerves. Think “Modern Family” or “Two and a half Men” but only the Charlie Sheen episodes. Television is a great way to escape… …especially during a thunderstorm when my Thunder buddy is ...

So much shit to sift through. Whenever he opens his mouth lies just fall out, but one made me angry when talking about greeting the gold star family members. “They told me to finish the job,” the pedo pig said. No they didn’t.  I don’t have a child in the service, but I’m a Dad and I wouldn’t be so gracious in that moment. Then I happened to catch his: “This is the best economy in the world and other leaders are congratulating me on bringing back a dead country.” Does he know that we are out here every day? “No one talks about affordability anymore!” He exclaimed. Because we can’t afford anything. The rising gas prices is going to just destroy people, because when gas prices rise so does everything else. And there is no sensible reason forthcoming as to why a war was started… …other than one… …he raped children. A lot of what happened is public record, but for one reason or another, the mainstream media won’t print it, or ask about it. Do a search on the family of the children he p...

And the Buffalo Sabres are in first place. I haven’t watched a lot of hockey in the last 15 years or so, but watching the game on Sunday night- the Sabres beat Tampa 8-7 to take over first place, I was reminded of the year that my buddy Kimball, gave me and my buddy Jeff his two seats in the reds at the Aud, and we watched Mogilny and LaFontaine go crazy every night. I was out of town for a work event so I watched the entire game, trading texts with my boys. Good to have hockey back. Woke up early and walked to the car, thinking, “I don’t even need this coat.” The event took place at a golf course, and while it wasn’t open, I watched the crew work to get the place ready. Hope springs eternal. And the world is an absolute mess. We’re going to pay $5 for a gallon of gas soon. The war has everyone on edge, and one idiot is saying it’s just beginning, while the other loser is saying it’s over. Our 401ks are being beat to shit. The evidence on the Epstein files and the rape of children cont...
