Obits. I read 'em most every day. Some, you have to click a 2nd link to see the whole thing. This morning, when I clicked, it had me click another link.... and yet another... then it takes me to a page "Forbidden." I'm with you Peggy Lee, Is That All There Is? You as well Jefferson Airplane, "Don't You Need Somebody To Love?" And Pete... Pete Seeger? The Florists? The Hell? With no published info.. "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" I really felt for the person - as, it was Rodney Dangerfield as Rodney Dangerfield gets.
Terry Hahn, please don't shoot me. Your Broncos rocked, ruled the AFC West.. Shades of Elway, Peyton. There was a feller though, in the heat of competition... Linebacker, good one, last name Cooper. Instead of maybe celebrating Denver's victory, capture of The West... he kinda flinged a shot at the Chiefs. As in when he took to X:
"(Forget) the Chiefs," Cooper wrote, although he didn't say forget. It was "the word. The Big One. The queen mother of dirty words," as Ralphie noted in the movie, "A Christmas Story." First, I understand the excitement. Getting over the hump felt good. That said, I thought the reply from a former Chief who helps on the play by play now, was fun:
"Like the kid who flexes after finally making a basket in rec league basketball after missing for 9 years!... Clown!!!" Broncos get the last laugh though... we (Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, etc) will be watching the playoffs from our sofas!
Ya gotta love sports............... Or, you don't gotta. As in, a study about kids and sports today. Article entitled "As youth sports professionalize, kids are burning out fast." Various reasons... pressure.. kids are funneled to play just one sport, (Sing it Lionel) "All year long... " demanding, demeaning coaches, overuse injury from playing a single sport... where did 'fun' go?.. 2017, 58.4% of school age kids played sports... last study, 2022, down to 53.8%. TBT
I'm old school. At the risk of sounding like "Why back in my day....." Back in my day, we played whatever sport was in season... be it.. Football, basketball, baseball, track, yada.... AND, we mixed in being a kid, whiffle ball, sledding, skateboarding, soccer, kick the can, crawdads at the creek, blanket forts over the clothesline, that stuff. Then again,
Anudder article...the Quarterback of a small college in Texas.... unrecruited, didn't have a 1 star, 2 star, 3 star, whatever attached to his name as a Senior in HS.... had a REALLY phenomenal year this, his 2nd year of college. He entered the transfer portal. Can ya blame him? Taking a peek, the average QB at a Power Four college makes between $1.5 million and $2 million annually. "Jimmy, come with us... we're gonna go skateboarding at Cooley Park, then we're going to Smitty's house, the whole neighborhood is gonna come play Hide N Seek. "Nah, thanks... I'm headed to the gym to to$$ a few footballs to a group of area receivers, you guys have fun."
And now, Paul Harvey.......we get to "What's it (Old age) all about, Ralphie?" It is said, if you don't move, you die. I beg your pardon... yesterday I did, lemme count... three half push-ups (when I got up from naps)... I put my feet on the vibration machine thingy, clicked the remote to it on... SURELY that (vibration) hasta count for steps or something?
Which, is fancy for. Yesterday, the HIGH temp was 17. I. DID. NOT. LEAVE. THE. HOUSE. Sunday, December 29, a complete waste.
Remind me again, "Why do I live here?".. Joshing, I love where I live, when I've lived, all. I will get out... go, do... later.. maybe..
Victor, git your booty up and moving. Or else what person who asks? Or else you'l be part of the "If you don't move you'll die club. Kick, the last can, so to speak."
Click....
FORBIDDEN
Kansas, wouldn't ya know it'd be Kansas that sang "All We Are Is Dust In The Wind."
Love, Victurd
