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.

Diversity

As we look forward to celebrating the Pride we have in our Gay population, (Yeah, I couldn't resist the pun.) I'm pleased to report that diversity in the mix of our residents here in the Fox River Valley continues to surprise me. Example: As my wife and I waited for friends, in the lobby of the Marcus Hollywood Theater on the west side of Appleton, I witnessed three AfricanAmericann ladies buying snacks. Behind them was a Latino couple. At the end of the line, behind was an Asian fellow with three kids. We represented the WASP's. This is in a community that when I first visited in the nineteen sixties, if a black man walked down the street, he more than likely played football for Green Bay. After that, there was a rather pronounced immigration of Hmong and quieter arrival of Latino's. For a while, the worst keep secret was that the new Italian restaurant was actually owned by Mexican's. Since returning to the Valley, I've grown use...

A rustle in the hustings

I am trying to stay away from politics on my blog. I know that some of my intended readers do not share my feelings. As well, I don't entice dialogue. Occasionally my readers will address something I've written about. For the most part, they are merely saying something like, "Oh yeah, I felt that way too," regarding some experience, that I related. However, I have to share these particular feelings about the new Ryan Healthcare proposal that is sailing through the House of Representatives. Market-driven healthcare provision: This concept proposes that if put on the free market health care insurance will become more affordable. The theory is there will be competition among insurers to gain market share and lowering the prices will be a possible outcome. None of the insurers want customers who are old people or people with a pre-existing health problem ( heart disease, cancer, etc...) Older people, who are not on medicare, have more health care ne...

Ring The Bell

 It appears there is a tradition in the radiology department at Ascension Hospital that patients, upon completing their course of treatment, ring a bell. ( We know not for whom this bell tolls.) Ring the Bell with My Sweetheart Jeanne. Jeanne drove me to all but two of the appointments. Pam Frautchi took me to the other two. Today, after being zapped thirty-two times, I rang the bell. This begins a roughly one-month recovery period where the effects of the radiation abate and, I'm assured, a return to normalcy occurs. In my case, I anticipate more energy and greater awareness. Books, Books, & More Books I am simultaneously celebrating the end of the third year of volunteering for the All Saints Hunger Book Sale. Next week, we will wrap up the preparation for the sale and open our doors on August 3 for the public. I ran into this humourous but quite accurate cartoon on a T-Shirt that shows most of the volunteer's sentiments at this point. If you think the printed and bound p...
