    Paris is the Most Beautiful City in the World

    I make that statement after watching the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympics. Yeah, sure the show drug a little (the two know-nothings providing what little commentary they had and Kelly Clarkson). But the buildings you saw were simple breath taking and the incredible number of performers...

    Willie Mays Has Died.

    The great and legendary Willie had no rivals when it came to deciding who was the greatest all-around player of his or any era. Twenty-four times all-star, 12-time Gold Glover, 2nd in career homers to Babe Ruth at the time he retired. He could run like the wind, one of the best hitters in the...

    I Took One for the Team

    I my desperation to find something anything on the tube worth I decided to watch "Barbie" that "everyone" is saying is great. It was absolutely awful. From the very opening scenes to the ending credits this movie sucked. Do not watch this move or prepare to have your testicles literally become a...

    Mike Douglas is Dead

    Don't need to say much about this guy. He was giant in the industry. He could act and he knew how to put a show together. He was the real deal. Starting out as the son of Kirk Douglas certainly didn't hurt him being the son of "Spartacus". Helping to produce "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" set...

    Martin Sheen is Dead

    Man, it has been a bleak day for Hollywood. Martin Sheen has checked out at age 83 due to cancer. His memorable film was as Capt. Benjamin L. Willard going in the interior of Viet Nam looking for Marlon Brando as Major Walter Kurtz. One hell of a film and one hell of a performance. He played...

    Kurt Russell is Dead

    Hard to believe that Kurt Russell has left us. He never got the acclaim that others did, but he always had a very strong fanbase. He starred in numerous features for Disney in the late 50's and into the 70's. He could handle the lighthearted stuff as well as any man could and was very adept at...

    Sam Elliot is Dead

    Sam Elliott famed for his ability to portray strong stoic men in film for many years died today of a brain hemorrhage. He played in numerous westerns and other features as the voice of reason quietly adding strength to those who had better billings than he did but were never better actors. He...

    Went to the Food Pantry

    My wife went to the Food Pantry the other day. These people will give you quite a bit of groceries and all you have to is bring a valid utility receipt. She went to two of those things in one day. First, she went to the one sponsored by Harvesters situated near a local hospital and specialized...

    The Greatest Player in the Game

    Today, we lost a man that stood at the very top of the heap in his chosen sport. Jim Brown. Cleveland Browns running back, died at age 87. While it created no buzz in our circle he stands today as arguably the best the game has ever seen at any position. I know most of you are little young to...

    NFL Draft in KC

    About 125,000 of my closest friends, but not me, went out to the first day of the NFL draft held in KC. This rivals watching paint dry for all the drama they normally contain. So, for no good reason I am watching on TV as they're doing their thing and I am wondering why have Chiefs up so they...

    Chiefs Win Super Bowl LVII

    Here in KC, we are positively giddy about winning the Super Bowl for the 2nd time in four years. Great comeback win for us and tough way to lose for Philadelphia. Viewers with no dog in the hunt must have enjoyed the game immensely.

    Took the Wife in for Surgery

    Took wife in for neck surgery to open her right carotid artery. She was terrified because she was convinced that this was her last ride. I took this news with a certain amount equanimity. I had always been of the belief that if a carotid failed that was the end of the show. For some reason it...

    Mariachis Los Compares

    Went and saw the Mariachis Los Compares and I can't say enough good things about them. They had twelve tenors and four young dancers (say 20-25) and they could really get after it. The instruments were six violins, two trumpets, one harp, one fat guitar, and two small guitars. They did most of...

    Merry Christmas to All

    Just taking a second here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. It has warmed my heart to hear how many people are wishing each other "Merry Christmas" this year rather than the generic Happy Holidays.

    Pipestud Shuts Down for a Month

    Recently I had Steve Fallon, AKA The Pipestud, sell a bunch of tobacco for me. He got about 60% through and then he had to cease operations. The State of Texas ordered him to cease the sale of tobacco products out of his home immediately. Apparently it is against Texas state law to sell tobacco...
