Out of duty:
Well I’ll be damned... Its June, beautiful June lit by the silvery moon where lovers swoon and soon one becomes a groom. It just feels good, this month of June. But there were thousands scared one June 6th as they waited offshore in bobbing LSTs on that fateful, yet glorious day when Normandy beaches turned red. So that tyranny could be stopped once and for all. We thought. So, the memories are deep in June, the courage never forgotten. So, enjoy the calm of a wonderful month when God’s plan for natural perception seems to come together. And never forget the boys and men whose sacrifice and bravery helped keep the world free.
One person asks another, “What are you doing?” The other person repsonds, “Sucking the seeds out of Rye bread,” “Why are you doing that,” says Number One. “Because.” 2 answers, “It’s a great way to get protein without carbs. I do it with whole wheat bread too.” “Oh Yeah.” says number One, “can I try sucking seeds out of whole wheat?” “Sure, but it can really be hard to get seeds out of whole wheat.” “Yeah, it is,” says Number One, “what should I do?” Number two answers: “Well, if at first you don’t suck seed, try rye again." The strip characters hanged cartoonist Stephan Pastis for that and partitioned the US Department of Labor for permission to leave the comic strip “Pearls before Swine.”
But, it made me laugh.
The Kennedy Center was named to honor a fallen President of the United States, Period. And it should always be.

I get the feeling that one of our food fads is feta, but I don't get it because I think Gorgonzola is much Betta.
I personally think that AI driven Word is losing its mind.
BTW, Obama should never have changed Mount McKInnley which was named to honor a fallen president.
An apple a day will keep the doctor away if you have good aim and a strong arm.
There was a lot of reality on the “Home Town” HGTV Show last night. For weeks the network was showing the progress of a huge venurue for the Satrs of that ow, Erin and Ben Napier. They had joined lifelong friends, one being a cousin of Erin in a large investment to restore an old Kress Department Store building into an upscale Boutique Hotel. They finally accomplished it, and created a beautiful space after months of sweat and financial worry and setbacks. Yes, the six smiling people celebrated the opening to choruses of paise. But two days after the euphoric feeling, the Hotel was hit with a massive destructive fire. Now that's reality TV.
You have to wonder what the “sophisticated” NYC Interior decorators think of the success of HGTV designers form the hinterlands like Joanna Gaines from Waco Texas and Erin Napier from Laurel Missisisppi. My premise is that there is great talent in cities and towns across America.
I’m intrigued by Spielberg’s new Alien movie “Disclosure Day” I may save up for popcorn and tickets and go. I liked his first big alien film “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” right up to the big reveal ending which I thought was underwhelming despite the mystique they tried to create.
How about that win by San Antonio against the big favorite Thunder. Now they are destined to meet the Knicks amidst all the Big Apple media buzz. The celebs are already scapping up tickets at rediculous prices, so you can be sure Mr. Everyman won’t be in the Neighborhood of Madison Square Garden, The media will make a story of the Knicks returning to the championship series after a long absence but the real story will be the emergence of the wunderkind, 22-year-old Frenchaman Victor Wembantama.
When people tell me, “You’re going to regret that in the morning,” I sleep until noon because I’m a problem solver.
Not only did the Boston Red Sox surprise the Cleveland Guardians over the weekend, they surprised me too.
118,000 showed up in Istanbul to hear Kanye West Sing. Oh sorry, that's Ye. Promoters in UK, France, Portugal, Italy and other countries where his concerts were banned must be banging their heads against walls. But I have to say that being part of a record breaking 118K crowd is not on my bucket list. I prefer a good entertainer in a smoky basement of a bar playing from his or her heart.
I like movie directors who still shoot their films in daylight or use lighting so you can see the action in night scenes.
Just pretend that last Friday's missing Question was the beginning of my transformation toa Jeopardy Style. The question was, What are the most popular operatic arias? Playem’ you’ll like them.
The Answer:
The other two upon whose leadership and talent the Spurs arose were The “Admiral” David Robinson, and the ever-resourceful Tim Duncan. Interesting, the last time the Knicks were in the Finals was in 1999 and they lost to San Antonio led by Tim Duncan. Bonus: it is Eric Cole. He could have won it yesterday but lost in a playoff to Russell Hensley.
Got to rush Out to buy bagels before the store closes. See you all tomorrow.
