LOOK, UP IN THE SKY--IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE--NO IT'S....

Actually, it's a group of Howler monkeys who actually do howl. Two adults--presumably mom and dad; and two babies. All howling, all flying from branch to branch, and all being watched ever so diligently by two of the ugliest vultures I have ever seen in my whole life. Not just ugly but humongous. Perhaps hoping for a meal or three. All of this poolside in Nosara, Costa Rica. A small village on the Pacific coast where we went for 6 days to celebrate the wedding of Stef and Graham. Had a wonderful time with wonderful weather, wonderful people, and a wonderful ceremony. selfishly, it was especially nice because Anna, Jess, and Lilli joined us and we had some good family time with them. No beach for me,however. You get sand between your toes when you go to the beach and you are wiping the sand out seemingly forever. And I grew up in Florida.

Before I go any further--congrats to Tess who will be a member of the cheerleading squad at George Mason University in the fall.  Good for her. Not that she told me but I learned that old George is considered one of the founders of our country. Had no clue--if only Mrs. Reynolds had taught me History as well as Latin.

So Scottie wants Warren Buffet to shut up and just pay the taxes for his secretary which of course (given Scottie's brain capacity) misses the whole point. Then today he twisted himself into knots explaining why his daughter is covered by the state's mandated insurance benefit but he voted against obamacare. Seems like he loves it for him and his family but would not recommend it if it is mandated for someone elsewhere. By the way try as I might, I just don't get this whole thing about Elizabeth Warren and whether Harvard identified her as a member of a minority group. What am I missing?  I will tell you I hope she gets the wheels back on her bike because there has been a noticeable drop in her zeal recently.

Also seen way too many comments by and pictures of Bob Kraft with the Mitter. It all goes back to Israel and the perception that the Mitter is a stronger supporter. Those alta kakers (Yiddish for old shits) in AIPAC are giving the Mitter big bucks.

Congressman Allan West is an African American/Republican from my old state--yup that would be Florida. And guess what this bright light thinks--at least 81 of his House colleagues are Communists. Perfect--a fucking lunatic which if I am Barack, I just skip Florida in terms of November.

Cartagena is another story.  Apparently everyone except me knew that it is the place to go in South America for prostitutes--kind of like Amsterdam in Europe. I guess some of our soldiers and secret service men knew about it. Maybe it was a good think Cuba was not invited--god only knows what that old Raul Castro might have done. Then the Supremes are asking questions which leads folks to believe they might like the nasty immigration law in Arizona. I'm telling you, whoever wins in November will get two or three nominees on that court--if for no other reason, that is why Barack has to be a winner.

A new rule if you see me driving down the street--if you are on your cell phone and want me to stop while you cross the street yakking on it, watch out. I don't stop for multi taskers. Second new rule--motorized scooters (like Vespas) are not bikes. They should not be using the bike lane. Not sure how to interfere with them without injuring someone but I am a bit tired of having them lap me at long lines. UGH.

SPORTS TALK

So I did glow about Rondo two weeks ago and yeah he continues to play out of his mind. Equally out of his mind is his infantile outburst on national tv Sunday. Those are the times he s nothing but a nuisance and a baby and if he wears one more band aid or pad, I think we need to call the EMT's--enough. The Bruins went peacefully into the night and for once I am in agreement with some of the talking heads. Lucic needs to figure out his game. He was a non factor and not just because he did not score. He hit nothing but air and he is physically imposing. Without Seguin, there was nothing. And Sid the Kid might be the best player in the league but after his putrid performance against the Flyers, the Penguins can have him. Also another baby. Like the frist two picks of the Pats--but if they are not starters, then they are busts period. Sayonara.
