Okay, decided to watch the Caps v Lighting game with a nice wine from The wine room. What do I pick but 1995 Baron de Pichon Lgongueville Bordeaux. It’s as good as it sounds.

JamesD, I am there with you. Go Caps!

Sitting up on second terrace feeling theNE wind. Cold as hell but it’s the last one. Tomorrow in the 80’s. Now mid 60’s but the wind makes it the 40”s. Right skies slowing ocean. Today the sea was brutal. Happy spring to all finally.

So, Porch, when does Frederick meet up with the oldest daughter? Of course, she has to put up with Rap music, Steven Crowder vids, and other stupid shit:)

MJW, Who cares who the jurors are, we are where we are because of years of subterfuge of our constitution. Without a wholesale revolution of the same proportions, it is what it is.

MJW, I will revert to Thomas on this. But I don't care who the public figure is right or left or middle. If they are libelous or slanderous then let the chips fall where they may.

MM, Send your 4:21 to John Stossel. He is evidently missing that. Somehow I think his docu was paid for by the Swedish Tourism board.

#collegegate is going to get even more interesting in the next few days. As Paul Harvey would say, "Stay Tuned".

Also, Mike Gravel is 88 y.o., and I think he is in the race to make Slo Joe and Bernie look like teen-agers.

henry, Are you powered by a local co-op (REA)? Another FDR New Deal anachronism that needs to be deleted from the Fed budget. Talk about pigs feeding at the proverbial trough. I think the last mile was run about 30 years ago. No need for them any longer even the telcoms division.

We have lots of Swedish friends as a result of Mrs. JiB classmates at Atlantic College. Been to Mälmo, and Stockholm numerous times. What the documentary fails to mention is the Elephant in the room: Muzzie immigration and resultant spike in crime especially rape. It has put a lot of pressure on state social services, such as medical and welfare support.

I wonder if the Nunes lawsuits will reopen Washington Pos v. Sullivan as Justice Thomas hs suggested be re-visited?

I was able to see the TitoPuraw posts, Jim. But I also have a Gab account but never use it.

Getting bored with eating is a step too far for me but maybe I should try it. Off t9 slumberland. Slaap lekker. Tot morgen.

Amom, Hubby did the right thing to get there stat. At least he was there to watch her last moments. Tough. But better than not being there. May her soul Rest In Peace . God bless his diligence and priority.

Maryrose, Fine. You have made your opinion and I don't agree. No need to absent yourself. Giving McCain the funeral he got denigrates those who served, and died in defense of our country. Being a POW doesn't make the same grade, IMHO. As far as criticizing McCain, I will do it every time that asshole is mentioned.

lurker susie, Sounds exactly what a Kennedy would do, don't you think? Oh, wait a minute, he is not a Kennedy yet, right,.....

Well, Iggy, I disagree with that also, since McCain used the Dossier to defame Trump. He has every right to make McCain out to be a sinister, unforgiving, loser, in my opinion but like assholes we all have one.

Doubling down, Porch. If we can't make a Pole stick, let's make him a Jew.

Porchlight, In Europe, for centuries it has always been the Polish plumber who stole jobs, reduced wages, foiled the districts, etc. Nothing new here to blame a Pole.

Ah! I sense a former McCain fan has shown up:) I knew McCain, unfortunately, since he represented Arizona, and we have our back office there, as well as numerous projects. As slippery as an eel can get. When you are too stupid to make the Naval academy on your own and get caught up in another stupid crisis like S&L, then you are free to be slandered and libeled since it is the law according to SCOTUS. [NY Times v. Sullivan]. So, please Maryrose, our JOM hall monitor, forgive me if I am not paying attention to you. We are free to post and discuss what we want until the blog owner, not you, decides we can't. Capice? That's Irish for "Understand"?

am at my desk by a window overlooking a turbulent ocean, an 18th green where the flagstick is bent 20degrees, and the flag itself is at full horizontal. Glad I am inside as Frederick, and his mom are playing golf, and I am not, although it is my favorite Irish/Scots weather for it. Having dinner tonight with an old company friend, who has joined our club. A former Cost engineering manager who decided to turn golf pro and play the tour. He was good but not good enough to make it. Tried for 3 years and decided that engineering in a world-class organization was better money than no money. The worm turns in all facets of life, education and bizness.

Wasn't AOC one of 10K individuals they (Justice Dems) looked at before they picked her to run against Joe Crowley? Mike Trout, 12year, $430 million contract. Largest in sports history. But I think some boxing purses have been bigger.

Fox has been on this current trajectory for a few years now since Rupert turned the reins over to his "over-privileged white" sons, right? It is no longer "fair and balanced" but unbalanced like that see-saw cartoon, yet still considered right-wing. I haven't watched FNC for a couple of years now. I do like FBN especially Stuart Yarney in the mornings.

rse, Frederick is the same, quiet about any accomplishments in class. We find out from the semi-annual teacher meetings. He has a 4-page resume so far that he keeps himself, typed out and ready for submittal to any summer school, or university when that time comes. I have always preached self-discipline and self-reliance. Of course, his room and housekeeping are exempt:) Another crappy day on the First Coast. Cloudy, temps in the mid 60's, strong breeze out fo the NE. But beats snow.
