August in the August of Life

I was just thinking that ALREADY we are nearly 2/3 of the way through 2022. It seems like just yesterday that I was smoking a brisket on New Year's Day contemplating what will the new year bring, and now, well, I'm thinking about the end of Summer, BUT we still have the rest of August to get through: Lazy summer afternoons, Walks along the beach, Balmy evenings, cloudless skies, Stars just out of reach, Sailing on a quiet lake, Hammocks in the shade… These are the simple treasures Of which August days are made. - Anonymous I was watching my crazy grandkids and their cousins all swimming, and I thought to myself - "what the hell happened to me?" Why don't I do this stuff anymore? Why don't I take advantage and enjoy the perks of retirement - to be that kid again while I have this short window to take advantage? I like the water, I enjoy the outdoors, yet I live like a freaking hermit worrying about things that I can't freaking control. Maybe it's t

Dummies, Baseball, and a dream place to live

Stupidity . I never claimed to be the smartest man in the world, not even remotely close, but to have two professional sports broadcasters type or say some offensive language is just plain stupid. One types the N-word in a tweet, the other makes a gay slur on a hot mike. People, can we just be professional? How can you even remotely do such stupid shit in these times? There is never a good time to do that period, but especially now – I just don’t understand it. Keep your personal thoughts private and your filthy sewers shut. Baseball . There seems to be some attention on Baseball and not for good things. These last few days alone was Fernando Tatis, Jr. Grand Slam on a 3-0 pitch with the Padres up big. Trevor Bauer and his “free Joe Kelly” cleats, the two Cleveland pitchers bad decision making. Look friends, in my opinion Baseball isn’t some freaking reality show, it’s a game. Focus on that. Focus on Baltimore playing well, Oakland having a hell of a year, Tati

Apples, Turds, and Fishing

One of my guilty pleasures is Apples and yeah, it’s only August 12 th , but damn if I am not already thinking about the apple harvest. My family and I are so lucky that there are a ton of orchards nearby to take advantage of. Between the apples, apple cider, apple donuts, apple cakes, and any other baked good they can come up with is awesome. My mouth is already watering and I gotta wait til October. Damn. Advice . According to the Farmer’s Almanac, todays advice of the day is “To avoid dying, never shave at night.” CFB . As we dive deeper into August, we now know that there will be almost no College Football, at least in the Autumn and while that sucks, I don’t really care about the power five conferences anyway. It’s the same old shit in a different season. But what I do see as intriguing is this rumor I continue to hear about possibly Ohio State might be a part of an SEC this autumn to play in that conference. Of course, the SEC President or whatever is laying
