The Once Dominate Green Bay Packers

 If you haven't thought that Matt LaFleur's house might be for sale soon, you're not reading the sports page. If you don't think it could happen before the end of the season, ask his predecessor,  current Dallas Cowboys coach, Mike McCarthy, how it happened to him. In the sports world, you're good until you're not.

I'm almost sure that Lafleur did not decide to let Davante Adams go to the Raiders. and I'm positive he didn't injure Rodger's thumb. But you have to be terrible at the front office stuff before there are cries of firing the General Manager or Club President. And let's face it, if Rodgers wants to play with an injured thumb, the heir apparent will not surface.

Those of us who lived through the difficulties of the Packers teams in the 1970s and 1980 know how to handle this situation. However, they no longer let you bring your own liquor into the games.

Art I'm Working On

Keith Richards 2022
9 x 12 Pencil Sketch
I'm going to be working on an image of him from 1969 with Tina Turner when she was the opening act for the Stones. One consistent between the two shots was Kieth's preference for exposing his chest. 

World Cup 2022 Men
If you're looking for the USA Men to replicate the Women's success in World Soccer, experts say it might be wise to save your wagers for 2026. In their first match with Wales, they kissed a clear victory goodbye after 80 minutes of dominant play when a foul in the penalty box led to a successful penalty kick that tied the game. 
Their next opponent, England, won their match against Ghana 6-2.

Once A Young Man

 My late friend Jack had a saying that's lost on young people; it sure was lost on me. With his version of a Finnish accent, he'd say, " We are too soon old and too late, smart." I've never heard anybody answer the question about returning and reliving their youth that didn't include the covariate that they would know what they know now. Maturation and accepting the onset of the later years of our life goes a long way to mellowing our passions. Chicago Bear fans are less intimidating, and the members of the opposite sex who are age appropriate are far more appealing than we might have thought in our youth. Yes, I will admit some men still try to relive their youth in ways that defy logic. This facet of two late smart prevents athletes from realizing when their best years are behind them. More men than women seem to delude themselves into believing that members of the opposite sex half their age are suitable mates.  I'm not going to deny that some of us old...

Which Doctor Do I Call?

 It started with weepy, crusty eyes. Then my left leg started acting like it had a swivel for a knee. Suddenly, I was experiencing a lack of energy. To top it off, I wasn't getting a good night's sleep. Who do ya call? In my case, I'm calling my primary. My eye problem might need a specialist. Since I have CMT, my leg problem could be neuropathy or orthopedic. My cancer treatments might lead to my lack of pep. And despite using my pillows to attain perfect comfort, my aching legs and lower back keep me awake. I'm going to be cutting back a bit since my health seems to be melting before my weepy, crusty eyes. I've quit my tutoring gig. This hurts me. My student, six-year-old Aydn Collins, is a joy to be with. I had hoped my contribution to his education would be good for him. The biggest problem with the job is getting in and out of the school. Featuring long walks from and back to the parking lot and the mountain of stairs. The older schools are wonderful in almost ...

Watching the Oldies

Note: Last week's post was late. There is a reason. Read on.  Classic Film: From Here To Eternity The film opens in Hawaii in 1941. The film stars Bur Lancaster, Mongomery Clift, Deborah Carr and Donna Reed. It is before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The only scene I remember is a scene many people who never watched the entire film have seen. It shows Bert Lancaster and Deborah Carr lying on a sandy beach, kissing as an incoming washed over them. Given the popularity of that scene, it was amazing to me that that iconic image is only seconds long in the film. The story is about the innocence of army personnel with no idea what's coming. Lancaster literally runs the squad while his Captain lets him take charge so he can campaign for his promotion and cheat on his wife.  To make up for the disrespect he has for his commanding officer, Lancaster beds his Captain's officer's wife only to fall in love with her.  Clift's character suffers the humiliation of an offic...
