DJ Flies Solo

I got back to FC the Sunday before last, as the wife remains in DC. I fell in love with my grandchildren during my visit. I’m sure no one has ever said this before, but they are the cutest bundles ever. I get to see them again during Christmas and the wife flies back to SFO Friday.  I was concerned about her flight but #1, who knows everything, told me many of the flights that have been canceled are regional ones, with the hub-to-hub flights mostly remaining a go.

I’ve kept myself relatively busy during my wife’s absence. I’ve racked up several trifectas and have spent some time at my new volunteer gig as well as donating blood on Monday. That sounds like a packed schedule for a geezer. I always donate the “power red”, which only takes half an hour and can only be done three times a year, so it fits my packed geezer schedule. This procedure gives them two units of red blood cells vs. one.  There are some height and weight requirements but when they see me walk in the door, they think to themselves “power red beast!”.

I saw a lot of #1 last week and we walked together on Monday, aiding me on another trifecta. He was here last week to re-do the frame on our living room picture window. In addition to knowing everything, he is a project-driven individual. I told him just to come in anytime in case I was gone.  This led to several visits and this week’s recurring nightmare that starts “Hide, he’s here again!”, which has caused me to trash the bed a few times. I’m not taking any chances, so the place has been locked up tight since he finished.

Moving on to politics, the Dems had a hell of a night on Election Day. Trump said that was because there was no Trump on the ballot. His takes are always so understated. The headlines today are screaming about some newly released emails saying that Trump knew about Epstein’s behavior. This comes as a surprise to exactly no one, but if it helps push him closer to oblivion or Hades, so be it. His aides are on him to stop pushing the narrative that the concept of America’s financial anxiety is fake. Even the kindhearted Laura Ingraham brought it up in a recent interview. She also asked him if the gold-plated items littering the Oval Office were from Home Depot. That one probably left a mark. 

In Kardashian world, Kris Jenner celebrated her 70th birthday at a big bash hosted by Jeff Bezos and all her closest friends were there, but it seems they deleted all the pictures with Meghan and Harry. I will need to follow up to get to the bottom of this, but one headline did say Meghan was in “networking mode”. We also found out recently that Kim did not pass the bar exam. I thought she was a shoo-in. She put out a TikTok video badmouthing the four psychics that said she would pass.  I think they get paid in advance. Lastly, it looks like Kylie and Tim may be no more, but I am getting conflicting info from my sources.

I wanted to let you folks know that I’m struggling a bit in my football pool.  I’m in a six-way tie for 22nd place, with 98 wins vs. 105 for first place. I’d give you my week 11 picks, but I expect to spend the rest of the day analyzing the situation before I submit them. I am pretty sure I’m safe picking the Patriots over the Jets for TNF. If you got any inside skinny for me, send it along.
