Catch of the Day.
No hook, line, sinker, as I am just trying to catch up from vacation. Just a couple quick hitters, a sign off, and then optional pictures and unfinished business from last night’s long blog. Read what you want. As I said last night, I don’t do Facebook. This IS my Facebook.
-LeBron is righteous for taking the blame, but the poor guy lacks spacing now from the Kevin Love loss and has only one other hired gun. They need someone to step up big time not only to make it a win in this series but a series at ALL.
-I would like to thank the Clippers without Chris Paul for making it possible to say “THREE MORE” until we can once again talk about the Rockets not being ready for a title. Dwight Howard just can’t own a ring as far as I am concerned. EVER. They are deep, but can’t take part of that conversation.
-Pacquiao out 9-12 months. Pacquiao-LAWSUIT. Sounds about right. I had no money in this at all (not even pay per view), but if I did, it was on Floyd, and I would be pissed if I bet on Manny for an injury that wasn’t disclosed. Healed and then reinjured, my ass.
-I am not sure if Lindsey sent this because this is what SHE does or if it was because what I do, but either way works. I almost walked out of the theater on Marley and Me, called my buddy and yelled when I watched I am Legend, cry like 7 times during Eight Below, and don’t get me started about reading Where the Red Fern Grows.
-Another day, and another Rex Ryan shady event.
-PLEASE tell me a reality show is coming out like tomorrow…no…TONIGHT…about Johnny Manziel living in the suburbs. It has to happen like yesterday.
-Mike Wallace says he is the fastest player in the NFL. Does he mean speed, or with teams getting bored with his antics for the amount of talent he has?
-The Clippers won without Chris Paul, but as was shown tonight, the Wizards are going NOWHERE without John Wall.
-I am watching the Griz-Warriors game, and even a sizable lead can’t make anyone turn off the Warriors these days.
That is it. As one shepherd said to the other, I am going to get the flock out of here. Talk to you all tomorrow. Peace.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM LAST NIGHT:
- The Forts of San Juan: Very hot day to be walking around San Juan.
- Far fort: We drew the line on walking to THIS fort. Too hot.
- 2. The Cathedral: Just a cool church in a hot city, and it had like 25 fans blowing everywhere. Call it a religious break place.
- 3. The Ponce de Leon Memorial: If you like Seinfeld, you know this is GOLD, Jerry.
- What? You forget the reference? Ponce De Leon: Elaine and George see this film together in “The Dog” instead of Prognosis Negative. In “The Movie,” they discuss the film; George liked it, but Elaine hated it. The film concerns the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León and his mythical search for the Fountain of Youth. One scene that especially got to George is when Ponce De Leon and his crew splash around in a supposed Fountain of Youth, only to realize, when he looks in a mirror, that it did not have mystical powers. This film is also referenced in Larry David‘s Curb Your Enthusiasm. In the Curb episode “The End”, Larry claims to have written a screenplay about Ponce De Leon
- 4. The San Juan Traffic/ Streets: Apparently, people just drive around these city streets in the middle of the day going nowhere in particular.
- 5. The San Juan Bourne Street: I know it is across the ocean, but it just LOOKS like a street Jason Bourne would drive a cycle down.
- 6. In between forts, found a random Carmelo Anthony basketball court in a very shady part of the island.
- 8. The Seaborne Airline (high school): Our small Seborne flight was basically Lindsey and I and 25 high school students from St. Croix. AND the way back since not too many flights go into there.
- 9. The Hammock: Tough for me to support a patio hammock TOO much when there is a beach bed a block away.
- 10. The Beer (Presidente): For those who have been down there, THIS is their Bud.
- 11. The Blond Hair Blue Eye Couple: We can’t do anything TOO stupid down there. We are both bright eyed, blonds. We kind of stick out.
- 12. Biloxi: I am here for a work trip, and I seem to remember BLUE water. That Hurricane must have really messed things up for a long, long time.
- 13. No blog is complete without a few pics of the Demon Kitten. Thanks to Avery and Kristin for watching the little guy while we were gone. Somehow they even got a flower on the one plant of two that hadn’t blossomed, and that is taking into account that Demon Kitty’s number #1 non bathroom or food related mission is killing those plants I have noticed. I am working on loading a couple funny videos, but that sounds like a job for when I am home on my couch.
- 14. The SNL Game of Thrones Skit was really, really funny.
- 15. As far as Baltimore or Nepal, I obviously send my thoughts and prayers, and will not say more as I am still catching up on everything that went down. I am smart enough to know I should stick to sports and people say much more intelligent things on serious matters such as those things.
- 16. Never been so happy to be back in Denver, leave a beach, and NOT go to Miami for work. I like to travel. I don’t like to travel TOO much for work and play.
- 17. FINAL MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:
- I am too lazy to rotate pictures. Sorry.
- The next picture was an unfair picture taken after the guy poured me shots of rum.
- I have more, but that is enough for now…or until another trip.
