I Got a Bad Wing

The shoulder has been giving me shit for a couple weeks so I went to see my friendly neighborhood orthopedist.  He gave me a cortisone shot which has calmed it down a little, but I get the feeling I’ll end up in physical therapy, which I haven’t been to since late 2018, when my lower back was zinging me.  Eventually this blog will just become a list of my ailments.

Since the shoulder has been keeping me out of the pool, I’ve gone back to the second floor of the posh club to spend some time on the bike.  My shoulder felt most comfortable when I rested my hand on my abdominal protuberance.  I felt like Meghan Markle and her baby bump.  I also did a little leg weight work at 40 pounds.  Right, I didn’t want to overdo it.

The Madness begins today.  If my count is right, we have 26 participants, many blog characters included, in my Yahoo pool.  As of this moment, you have approximately 22 minutes to get your picks in, but by the time this posts you’ll be toast.  Yale is my big upset pick this year.  I have them going to the round of 16.

But basketball is not what you tuned in for.  You want Kardashian news.  Who doesn’t?  I caught this article recently and really felt bad for Kylie.  All I can tell her is the heart wants what the heart wants.  Khloe and Kourtney have had to go through similar heartbreak.  Personally, I cannot understand why any dude would not want to stay in the good graces of that family. Thank God for Yeezy.

As I mentioned on my last post, I plan to work on a book.  The working title is “Pet Rocks to Fitbits: All the Crap You Never Needed”

Anybody got a clue who greenlighted The Toe Bro?

You can listen to my new theme song as you deal with the emotional fallout of reading my blog.

March Comes In

I got up at 5am, read copious amounts of on-line news, had a protein shake, did 12 laps at the posh club and a Safeway shop.  Before I begin my rigorous work day, I thought I’d give a post a shot.  I plan to pull some stuff from old notes, so some of this may seem dated.  Deal with it.

The only Kardashian item today will be the fact that Khloe took a pic of baby True – imagine being stuck with that name in perpetuity - sitting amongst a $154k pile of Birkin bags.  One person called is “vapid and materialistic” but I choose to support Khloe during this difficult time. How could she have known Tristan Thompson was going to cheat on her, besides the fact that his old girlfriend was pregnant when they got together.

In any case, the week started out great.  I got a crown put in Monday and saw my tax person on Tuesday.  Gosh, I owe a lot more than last year.  Thank you, Paul Ryan.  However, I’d be happy to kick in extra every year if we could get AOC’s 70% marginal tax rate and Warren’s wealth tax instituted.  The Orange Menace would probably veto those but all of us with a functioning cerebral cortex are hoping he’s out the door sooner rather than later. But I would like to see Pence keep Trump’s stellar cabinet in place.  The only change I want on that front is for Vince The Sham Wow Guy to replace Wilbur Ross at Commerce.

I saw a headline that said “"More millennials recognize Pikachu than Joe Biden".  I need to ask my kids about that.  I’m hoping old Joe does not throw his hat in the crowded ring.  There’s a guy named Andrew Yang who’s running for the Democratic nomination and is poised to work his way into the debates.  My money is on Pete Buttigieg.  If you can run South Bend, you got the goods. And there’s always the third-party candidates to consider, but I’d like to call out right now that I came up with “crappuccino” long before this.

You know what I’m tired of hearing about?  The keto diet.  I’m planning to go on the beto diet.  I’m just going to eat everything Beto O’Rourke eats, with the slight tweak of going easy on the Texas Toast.  It seems to be working for Beto.  He’s dreamy, no?  I’d like to make a personal appeal to Beto to stay out of the 2020 Presidential race.  Focus on giving John Cornyn the boot.

Here’s an article I came across a few month ago.  I told you I’d be mining the notes.  My first thought was “What could go wrong?” I do not mow my own lawn anymore, because I’m old and entitled, but if I did, I’d go with a vintage Clemson push mower manufactured in good old Middletown, NY.  You can still get them on Ebay.  I lived across the street from the Clemson Mansion for several years back in the 60’s.

That’s all I got for now.  I have to admit I am getting a little tired of the blog.  I’ve been giving some thought to writing an audio book, as well as use the rest of my spare time to become an Instagram influencer.
