Leftovers for the week

Friday evening, getting about bed time, have a show to do tomorrow at WalMart. Will be a busy one, going to make turkey sandwiches, can't make them fast enough. French bread, turkey, cheese, mayo, Italian Dressing, good sandwich.

Comments on the new OSU coach. Personal opinion only. Not my choice. Seen too much X BBall over the years, always been a questionable program. I think it is a shame that a big time program like OSU can't do any better than they did.. Why not bring back Jerry Faust and let him coach BBall. Remember old Eldon Miller, bring him back. Andy Geiger. I would prefer seeing him at another university, or anyplace for that matter. Three years and the new guy will be gone. Knight, would have them back in the NCAA finals or better in a few years. I am now a Michigan fan in ALL sports. I predict the honeymoon is over in football, I could be wrong, but I think this season will be crucial. I look for a losing season. Losing season in BBall, Geiger gone in a year or two.

Locally, well, LAPP ,, Licking Alcohol Prevention Program ... Director got drunk and wrecked two cars in a few years. At least they let him wreck two of them ... I thought it was THREE strikes and you are out ... or perhaps, in that position, one would have been enough. Now, they noticed a lot of money was spent ... apartment, furniture, etc., sounds like something Bill Clinton would have done. Director must have been a democrat also .... he misunderstood, I guess.

Somewhere in city hall, another investigation. One of the good things about investigations in our city hall .... nothing ever seems to come of them. The fact they are being conducted sounds good though.

I also noticed that the council president is accepting another important position. I think it was director of something regarding handicapped children in Costa Rica. Probably been a lifelong dream of his. I'm sure he will do a good job there. Maybe have to leave his council post to devote more time to the new position. Strange if he would not finish his term. Oh, I guess that has happened before though.

This is a bad year for me ... I have a GRANDDAUGHTER who is going to be 15 this month ..... and a DAUGHTER ... who will be 50 in October. I used to be so much older that a lot of people, now, we're almost the same age ... no big spread anymore. I never knew a grandparent, they had all passed away when I was born in '32. A daughter .... 50 .... she thinks this will be tough on her .. think about me .... heck, I turned 50 in '82. I'm just glad to be around to see it all.

Listening to old time radio while I do this .. a neat salute to servicemen ... Crosby, Sinatra and Hope ... with a message from D. D. Eisenhower, the General. Must have been right after the war, mid to late 40's I think. Inspirational words from Ike.

Caught a little of the John McEnroe TV show ... worse than Magic's fiasco ... they are really digging for (talent?) ... My Son Dean is working on a show ... Pitch TV ... great idea, timing is outstanding ... people get an opportunity to "Pitch" an idea ... TV show, product, etc., ideas are certainly needed NOW ... I hope he gets it going. He has all the tools himself, and the facility to do it ....

Well, not a lot of gravy here tonight, certainly no sizzle, so will depart ..... jbd
