I love me some life. Round round get around I get around. Ya got me goin' in circles...(pah pah pah pah) ohhhhhh ohhh around and around I go.....
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin... What goes up, must come down.. Spinnin' wheel, got to go round...
As I sat on the side of the bed.. (First thing I do.. .well... before I get to that point, I grunt a bit... groan...) get my bearings... "Tuesday ain't it?...no, that was yesterday.... " then, the all important "Wonder if the Royals won?" (They were up a run or two late when I went to bed... ) VICTOR. We're ALLOVER, no one gives a rats about the Royals except YOU!
Living life in a straight line.... that line goes from the bedroom.. thru the living room.. thru the kitchen.. It's there I stop (hey what's that sound, everybody look what's goin' round)..no, that ain't it. I stop, make coffee. Next linear stop in order is the bathroom... I WANTS MY COFFEE EARLY... so, sometimes that involves the pee pee dance as I make coffee. ("By GOSH, I'm GONNA get this coffee a goin' FIRST so I can have a fresh cup AFTER I pee"). I admit, sometimes I userp the order, pee first. Eh, ya gotta.
I flip the TV on. I cannot remember the point, purpose,what they were selling in the commercial that was on.. .but I 'loved' it. Middle age dude walks into the house... says "Damn.... it's musty."... Wifey follows not fer behind... "Damn" she exclaims as the steps over the threshold. Next in the door... Granny... she blurts out "DAMN!"... sumpin' must smell bad. Junior, all of eleven, his turn.. walks in, "Damn" (Three heads swivel back to look, admonish, "LANGUAGE!" - and THAT, boys and girls, is life in America, today.
Well, not everyBobby...... HEY, ROYALS WON! VICTOR, WE. DON'T. CARE. Well, me and Phil Collins don't care that you don't care, no more.
Then, an article on someBobby I really enjoy. Bobby Witt, Jr. VICTOR! Too bad so sad, you're stuck.
Ten Kansas City Royals are participating in a program the Royals are doing, where they get out and about with kids around different KC School Districts. The day someBobby was interviewed - it was his 3rd trip to Ms. Ransom's second grade class...
The kids found out two days ago about his visit.. "I'm so scared" one of 'em said.. signs on the wall outside the class, welcomed and signed "your friend".. "love you forever"... Bobby walked in to hear "Eye of the Tiger"... and, there was an easel, "Bobby Witt Jr. Approved Writing List" ... "I wrote neatly.".. "I began each sentence with a capital letter.".. (TBC)
And....... a large poster on the wall.. "DEEP BREATH JUNIOR, DEEP BREATH" .. which, is a 'take-off' on Bobby as just before each pitch, he takes a real deep breath to help him stay calm. VICTOR, WE DON'T WATCH NOR CARE. Stuck, I call you stuck.
From the KC Star article this morning.. Jayneal was quoted "Thank you for your BobbyBreath and how you use it to help you. We use it too when we get frustrated with a problem, or, when we need to calm down. Sometimes, we even have to tell Ms Ransom to take a BobbyBreath!"
They got to ask Bobby questions about whatever they wanted... he stayed quite awhile.. then, class picture (With Bobby).. just as Maggie (BobbyWife) cranked up Journey's "Don't Stop Believin", a song they learned someBobby and Maggie played at their wedding reception. SomeBobby reminded the kids, "We're keeping up with you... the entire team knows about you guys".....
For all you KC Royal naysayers, I thought, "Damn, pretty cool." Victor, LANGUAGE (and we don't care.)
Then, Willie Go Round in Cirlces - final thoughts before clicking on this keyboard....................
Yesterday..... The Beatles Victor? No. Yesterday, I sent out invitations for a (hopefully) fun golf tourney I'm having. The "Liberty Townie Golf Tourney".. Last year, we made it charitable.. raising funds for Liberty's Shop With A Cop".. a shopping spree the Police take children at need at Christmas time.. OH, to see the faces! .. a very good thing.).. 4th year. Thirty guys/gals/golfers or so the first couple years... Fitty folks last year.. I'm pushing for 70 this year! We golf, tell stories, eat lunch, play Bruce's Glory Days in the background.. have fun... and watch ourselves age. I texted 60+ folks yesterday.
Among the replies... "Yes, count me and so-and-so in!".. "I can't golf, I'll help cook." Phone call, "I'm having rotator cuff surgery".. many, 'crickets',.. nothing.. I'll stay on 'em.. one, "It's our 50th anniversary, we'll be on a cruise, but I promise I'll be there in 2027."... Another, "I'm having some hip troubles, I don't think I can"... "I'm in, but I don't think _____ is playin', (his wife).. but I'll find someone." And NO, I ain't telling you who!
Willie go round in circles....... Round round get around I get around...
Drop all your troubles by the riverside... Catch a painted pony on the spinnin wheel ride.. Someone is waiting just for you.. Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true.. Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel fly.
Deep breath everyBobby, and have a wonderful day. GO ROYALS!
Love, Victor
