Always a quandary.

 

Today's Tids Issue 5,681 

But why: 

 

There is rejoicing in Syria, 

But for how long. 

For in the Middle East.  

There's always a sadness song 

And even the riches from oil. 

Begets even more turmoil  

Bringing harsh human treatment, 

Restricted freedoms embroil. 

 

I'm putting up my Christmas tree tomorrow. It's a job I like; Sorting out the lights, finding special baubles of yore. So many that remind us of things we loved, and things we did in years before when the jingle bells rang, and we all listened for Ho-ho-ho at the front door. 

 

Guess what – there is a real old time College football game is weekend. Army versus Navy and I am a diehard Navy fan and will be in it all the way. Though Army is ranked I think they are even, and of course the meaning of the tousle is immense in the hearts of the players. The only transfer portal they are contemplating is ship to ship, military base to military base. Conflict to conflict. 

 

The college playoff system begins next Saturday, and the Tids pickers will be there. 

 

The Question: 

What was the name of more famous Liberace’s brother and what did he do.

--Russia’s Plunging Currency to Make Their Fighting Wars More Expensive.

You know, the NIL Transfer Portal system now dominating the future of college athletics, may be just right for a mind like Belichick as eh steps into a college situation. People observing the Belichick hire by UNC wonder if he can relate to HS kids and twenty something's. You don't have to relate to most of them anymore. Most will always be looking past where they are for another team for next year. And think about this. Parents will soon be training their kids for big money college stopover situation on the way the pros. And Bill B can guide them into what it takes to get there. 

 

I was thinking that the younger generations may hate the NFL because there are no Transfer Portals with contracts.  

 

You have to wonder if the USA will stop the merger of Weber and Blackstone. These are the two biggest names in Grilling today with Weber at a 25% share being synonymous with world grilling for 70 years. But since 2007 Blackstone surged upward and is now the griddle king of outdoor cooking. But sales are falling for both, and they need to merge for strength and preservation. The irony is that the lurking Gov agency will think they are too strong. We live in a an era where even kings need to go out begging.  

 

Sofronie Vasquez won the Voice. Shye was second followed by Sydney Sterlace, Danny Joseph and Jeremy Beloate 
 Team Bublé had number's One and Two. I was going to end today with their final's songs, but I didn't like them. I didn't like fourth place finisher Danny's song either They all sound like something I’ve heard a thousand times before.. I'm not quibbling with the talent. Maybe I’m getting too old for society.  

 

The Answer: 

Liberace's Brother George played the violin at his piano performances. Liberace had an identical Twin brother who died in childbirth. In addition to George, he a had sister named Angelina, and another brother named Rudolph Valentino Liberace. His mother loved the entertainment industry, and the brother was named after the famous actor.  

 

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
