Today's Tids Issue

For all those whose homes disappeared:
The
rain is pouring the skies are dark, but unlike Florida and
parts around, we here up in the north are just getting wet. The sun is shining
again upon the broad white sands of the Gulf coast shores, but the reflections
are of heartbreak. We have our journey’s but none like those who have nothing to
build on. The endless rain is trickling down my windows, but I only see that as
the tears of those who are wondering why; where do I go.
A
striking piece of news today is the increase in the mortgage
rate to over 5% for the first time since 2011. Home prices have been soaring to
the point where the theory of supply and demand could fail. Demand for homes is
extremely high and the inventory is relatively low, but the inflationary home prices
now coupled with that mortgage rate is shoving more people to the sidelines.
So, while it all should be a seller’s market, you have to have a stable of buyers
who actually have the money to participate. This will be an interesting segment
to watch, as economics temper hysteria.
Boisterous-ism
Rules, Department:
A new survey of America says that only 8% of
Americans are considered “Progressive Activists”. I guess focused TV cameras
can make mountains out of molehills.
The
Rubik cube has never been good for my self-esteem.
There
is a good chance that the next Dow target will be the elusive

Question:
A contestant on The Voice last week was the daughter
of Journey’s keyboardist. Her Dad wrote several of the band’s best-known songs.
Who was he and what songs did he write?

you don’t make future plans, you don’t have to
worry about weather forecasts.
CNN
has become basically irrelevant.
There’s
no truth to the rumor that Trump initially got tough with

Comedian
Stephen Fry produced a poetry writing book called, “The
Ode Less Traveled.”
I
used to rely on Fx for great drama series. But, lately, the
cupboard has been bare, at least to my entertainment standards.
The
New York Football Giants may have one of the greatest running
backs in history. I mean, this kid Saquon Barkley is thrilling. But, running does
not give you championships, and last night that team looked miserable despite the
excitement from Barkley.

Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The First Man is probably a pretty good yarn about
the extremely dangerous mission that put the first man on the Moon. It explores
Neil Armstrong and his sacrifices during that journey to being number one. This
is a well-executed real human drama.
--Bad Times At the El Royale is probably not too bad
a movie. It’s a kinda goofy film at times, but sticks to the old tried and true
formula of seven strangers meeting in a run-down hotel, each with a secret to
bury, and looking for redemption before time runs out. Excellent cast. Could be
worth a senior priced ticket.
--Audiences like Beautiful Boy. It’s a well told
story based on the memoirs of a father and son. It relates a wrenching, yet inspirational
tale of “Survival, relapse and recovery” about a family coping with addiction.
--Goosebumps 2: Halloween should be a grabber, but
the Halloween havoc caper fails to deliver.
The
Answer:
Jonathon Cain is in the Rn’R Hall Of Fame and wrote
some great songs for Journey, and other bands: Don’t Stop Believing,
Faithfully, Working Class Man. He co-wrote songs with Steve Perry – Open Arms
and Who’s Crying Now, plus a joint effort with Perry and Schon, When You Love A
Woman.BTW, the daughter failed to turn a chair, although I thought she was decent.
Don’t
let storm clouds ever get you down, regardless of how black
they may appear. Bleak is bleak, but striving is light.

Cain
wrote “Faithfully” for his first wife of three! (Hmmm. On the road is a lonely
place.) That’s him on the piano. This is a nice dreamy way to get into the
weekend:
