I’ve said it many times before, and I’ve meant it, but I rarely watch football. I follow it, like most sports, on my phone. I look at scores most days and follow that way. I don’t believe I’ve seen a single whole game this season. But, as well as my Denver Broncos (NFL football) have… Continue reading D-Day Weekend

Not really. J begins her tryouts for nationals in darts in about an hour and a half (10am, Vegas time).She said she didn’t sleep well, last night. I asked her if it was nerves, and she said not really, just her unable to sleep (this happens to her once or twice a week). So, when… Continue reading Frightful Friday

So, the NFL (American football) is down to eight teams (four in each conference), so there will be four games (two in each conference) this weekend. I went six for six this past weekend, so I don’t expect to do that again, but it would be nice if I did. Here goes: Buffalo at Denver… Continue reading Thursday Picks

Yes, the weather is getting a little warmer, but also I need to “warm-up” (or get ready), as J will be gone for the weekend, starting tomorrow. J has a chance to try out for the national team in a tournament in Las Vegas, beginning Friday. Vegas is a 7-hour drive so she is leaving… Continue reading Warm-up Wednesday

Since we’ve had so many weeks off from the team darts league (See You Next Tuesday) that J and I co-founded and continue to run, it feels kind of strange, and yet, comforting, to return to the league. But, since that’s what we’re doing tonight, it truly feels like a Tuesday. Should be fun. Last… Continue reading Truly Tuesday

A variety of feelings as we approach the beginning of the work week. Without getting political, there was still some bad news over the weekend. On the fun side of life, there was some good news. My dad used to always say, “…gotta take the bitter with the sweet…” Miss you, dad!!! I don’t know… Continue reading Mixed-Up Monday

I guess that’s not really an alliteration, since the beginning sounds aren’t the same. Call it poetic license, I guess. However, J and I are looking forward to a fun, relaxed, Sunday. Better than work or a 200-mile round trip drive to Phoenix and back. To wit: J and her partner, Uschi, went up to… Continue reading Sunday Shenanigans

We can only hope. No, really, today should be okay, if just a little bit different. J just took off for Phoenix with our dear friend (and J’s partner), Uschi. They’re going up for a last tournament of the year and the banquet for “Pink Ladies” darts. There is no prize money, but, all proceeds… Continue reading Smooth(?) Saturday

I keep saying no more politics, but… 45/47’s Gestapo (ICE/Border Patrol) keep gunning down our citizens. First, Minneapolis. Then, Portland. When does it stop? When do the people say “ENOUGH?” The “president” and all of his cabinet are completely out of control!! This HAS to stop!!! Okay— enough politics. Let’s lighten things up a bit… Continue reading Frightening Friday

The NFL (American football) playoffs begin this weekend with six games (three in each conference). After this weekend, where will be eight teams (four in each conference) left to vie for the Super Bowl. I ended the regular season with a record of 173-98-1 for a correct picks percentage of .638. I’ll continue to keep… Continue reading Thursday (Playoff) Picks
