Smarty Pants

I realize that I have not waited my customary month or two. That is because I get to brag, and there is little I like better than bragging. Here goes. My oldest grandson, Blake has just been accepted on scholarship to the University of Nevada. I always knew that one of us would turn out to be smart. I'm glad it was he.

In addition, my grand daughter's birthday is coming up on the 30th of January. Ahh, there, you see, it really does feel better now. Bragging is definitely good for you.

On the down side, my wife is now a heart patient. She has had a stent installed in her. She is one unhappy little female. Of course she blames me for the stent. Never mind the fact that it has probably saved her life.

As I predicted, the furnace repair crew finished up in a couple of days. The outside temperature immediately shot up to 71. The weather gods temporarily forgot that I don't like cold weather. Now, they have regained control of their senses as the temp has dropped to about 50. I hate winter. I wish I could afford to move somewhere where there is no winter. Alas, I'm stuck in this miserable weather for at least 4 months every year.

On the sports scene, Federer has once again crushed everybody in the Australian open. That makes 10 majors. Tiger Woods has now scored his 8th PGA tour win in a row. All I can say is,"WOW"!!!

Well, I gotta go listen to Trish now. So it goes.

ugly

Yes, it's true. The weather here is still ugly. We had a hard freeze which pretty much destroyed the citrus crops. O.J. prices are going up!!!

As I predicted, Pelosi and her band of insane, limp-wristed, wimpy liberals are doing their best to destroy our country. The bitch of the century, Hillary, has declared for the presidential race. God help us if she wins. There is no bigger enemy of the U.S. than Hillary the crook.

The mexicans are getting louder in their bid to tear this country apart. We should send all of them back to mexico. It would be a good idea to allow the army to repel the invasion by whatever means necessary. (shoot 'em)

I would like to thank some of you for expressing your views in my e-mail. It is good to know that someone is reading this stuff, even if they are a little bit out of plumb.

My Seahawks lost in their bid to go back to the super bowl. Damn!! The question now is, can the Colts bust the Bears? It is a daunting task, but Manning may have enough horsepower to do it.

Lucky for us, spring is only weeks away. That handy-dandy furnace I laid out 9k bucks for is out of adjustment, so you freeze your ass off downstairs while it is tropical upstairs. The repair dweebs will be here tomorrow. If things go like they did when it was installed in 105 degree heat and was cooling the house nicely for 6 whole days before the temperature plummeted down to the 50's, they'll fix it and a week later it'll be 90 degrees. I just can't seem to get on top of this home owner crap. Maybe I'll just sell out and move into a Las Vegas hotel for the duration.

I have discovered a new singer. Her name is Trish Thuy Trang. She is Vietnamese, but speaks English better than most Americans. She was raised in Texas. If any of you have Limewire, look her up and download some of her songs. I have some suggestions if you'll e-mail me.

Once again, I am starting to think about a trip northward. Like all other years, this'll probably end in disaster as so many others have.

Well, I've gotta go listen to Trish now. Remember, the fat guy in California loves you, sort of.
