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.
