For choices:
For choices:
In
the literary circles, many writers who know Michael
Wolff personally and/or professionally say he has made a fantastic living being
right about 25% of the time.
You
do not fall in love by default nor as some observers
say, by choice; you fall in love because of a special kind of feeling in your
heart that overwhelms your senses.

I
continually fight my impulsive compulsives. One of them is
this unrelenting need to listen to Brahms every Saturday morning. I vowed to
break the trance this past weekend, but somehow my hand reached out for the CD
of his first symphony. The initial haunting strains filled my space, and I was
hooked like an innocent sitting in a Colorado smoked filled room. But, at least
listening to this master doesn’t come with a hangover. Unless of course, if those
around you consider incessant humming an illegal intrusion.
Did
you see where our country’s economic machine just achieved
an all-time high in exports? Hooray for the USA. Not so fast, Uncle Sam. We
also saw an all-time high in our imports, which despite our productive efforts,
gave us an even higher trade deficit. The good news is, if you can get away
from the provincial scorecard for a second, you realize that the US and world
economies are really, really good.
As
an old country boy once said: “Forgive your enemies;
it messes up their heads.”

After
last night’s big standing “O” speech, celebs crumbling to
the floor in tears seemed to have anointed their fave Oprah for the next president
of the US. I think she will do well as a Democrat since part of her fame comes from
giving away free stuff to audiences.
Word
of the day – Cognoscenti: Persons of Superior Knowledge and
understanding of a particular field, especially in the fine arts, literature
and fine fashion. Example of use in a sentence:
The Tids have been passed over as beneath the notice of the cognoscenti.
It’s
that time of years I will be sucked into being bored by
films selected as masterpieces by self-appointed cognoscenti, the Critics. I have
yawned through many a lauded picture of-the-year, which has failed to entertain
or arouse, but exists primarily to deliver a message.
Have
you ever wondered why the left who are against big corporations
smothering the helpless little guy are totally in favor of whales which
everyday vacuum up the defenseless krill and plankton? Talk about encroachment
upon the helpless.
While
at the end of last week where we saw a less than projected newly
created jobs performance, we also learned that the help wanted adds are higher
than ever. The reason we have problems getting below 4% very low unemployment
is that there just aren’t enough skills around to fill all of the job openings
that exist.
Isn’t
it interesting how Lefties who at the beginning of the
Trump admin thought Bannon was Hitler, now view him as Matthew, Mark Luke and
John.
Eating
a clock is time consuming.
ESPN
has never been particularly kind to the NE Patriots. But they may
have just done my beloveds a big favor with the negative story just released
last Friday – making them really mad as hell. Giving them an inspiration to
show the world again they are the best.
Many
of the darlings of the college basketball cognoscenti
are showing extreme vulnerabilities. North Carolina, Duke. Kentucky and Kansas,
to name a few of the annually exalted, have showed significant fallibilities.
And. that could be very good for basketball in general. For the average fan,
the best of college basketball has always been the promise of upsets. The
Hoosiers, and more.
You
have to wonder if Donovan McNab’s smiling Mom is still
serving him hot soup.
I
am certainly not a big advocate of pot. But, the federal
government should stay out of it. I will always go to the side of states and
communities having their own rights to mess things up and the citizens having
the options of living there or not.
One
of the best safeguards against rampant pot use
is not sending people to jail, but firing them from jobs because of inept
performance due the weed. Letting them
see life in a lesser world. The answer is about making choices.
Today’s
agenda for the morning cognoscenti: Analyzing the
importance of the Golden Globes.
Second
word of the Day: Weed – A plant of vigorous growth that is
not valued where it is growing; Especially – One that tends to overgrow or
choke more desirable plants; 2: An obnoxious growth, thing or person not valued
where it is growing
The
Answer:
The smaller homespun ice cream companies – Edys and
Ben & Jerry’s have been inhaled by a couple of Whales – Nestle and
Unilever.
“It
is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far
more than our abilities.” JK Rowling
