REMEMBERING A GREAT TIME IN CHI TOWN
ON this date in 2016 - The Boyz and I bask in the glow of the Cubs' victory in the World Series, what a great team to watch, what a great heart to view, and what a great baseball memory for a lifetime...
Ah, remembering Fall Days back East...
This is a pic from our house looking out on Williams Pond, a pond we shared with another Naut...

IT'S FUNNY WE LOOK AT LIFE THAT WAY
Ken-Dogger: Hey Justus, that’s a look.
Justus: Well, I was wondering about clouds blocking the sun
KD: Clouds getting in your way?
J: Yes, and dreams and schemes and circus crowds
KD: It’s funny we look at life that way…
J: But now old friends are acting strange, they say I’ve changed
KD: Today, a lot will change…
J: It’s life’s illusions we’ll recall, we really don’t know life at all.
(Homage to Joni M)
Ken-Dogger: What cha’ doing?
Rocco: I’m bending these bananas, it’s strength.
KD: A test? Did you know Gandhi once said, “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
R: Indomitable will? Well, you’ve seen what I’ve done thus far.
KD: Umm, bananas are already bent some, how much WILL was necessary?
R: Strength gave me capacity, but it was WILL which pushed me through.
KD: I think we need both, we just need to summon them at the same time.
Historybook: American sharpshooter Annie Oakley dies (1926); Journalist and fashion icon Dame Anna Wintour born (1949); The Soviet Union launches first animal into space (1957); US arms sale to Iran revealed (1986); One World Trade Center officially opens on former site of Twin Towers (2014).
"The best way to make a dream come true is to wake up."
- Dame Anna Wintour
Morning Peeps,
Teach 'em the Best You Can...
Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
There is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
When you teach the children teach em the very best you can
H.M & the B.N.
As for me, I WILL KEEP PLAYING
Historybook: Marie Antoinette born (1755); Nobel Prize-winning playwright George Bernard Shaw dies (1950); First president of South Vietnam Ngô Đình Diệm assassinated (1963); Indian actor and "King of Bollywood" Shah Rukh Khan born (1965); Martin Luther King Jr. Day is created in the US (1983).
"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing."
- George Bernard Shaw

Lived with a Cuban woman in the 90s, that's the only phrase I remember, other than Tu sabes
ON this date in 1937 - The play "I'd Rather be Right" opened in New York City.
The totally awesome play was written by budding playwrights Bun Man and Mr. Purple.
The stellar cast turned out to be all-FEMALE.
The Boyz tried casting MALES for some roles, but they just really didn't seem convincing in the parts.

Donde esta la playa
ON this date in 1721 - Peter the Great (Peter I), ruler of Russia, changed his title to emperor.
Hearing this and not to be outdone, Bun Man, ruler of the West African nation of Neverenuftiti, took counsel from his chief aide, Mr. Purple. Bun's new name would be Papadoc, Emperor for Life, DaDa.
This worked until that fiendish Duvalier in Haiti stole Bun's name in the 21st century...
ON this date in 1963 - The Beach Boys' "Be True To Your School" was released.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple actually sang back-up on this Beach Boy tune but were never credited.
Ultimately, the Boyz decided to remain behind the scenes in their musical career.
Some people get the recognition they deserve, some don't...
HERE IS THE SADNESS...
Michelle O had to reprise this role for those US citizens who truly do not know the impact they have on their kids and what they model for them to follow as adults.
I will when you turn that freakin blinding light off...
Oh, snap, that be the sun isn't it?
Damn, I'll stay in my lane.
Hehehe
You know...
Wavy Gravy gave us NO RAIN at Woodstock...
We should do NO HATE for the next few days until after this election in the USA.
I'm a gonna file this under a little ditty I likes to call...

One of my fave Voting Pics
Actually, this is a pic from one of my High School Reunions.
While considered a marginally gifted athlete in my hometown, when the Village Peeps came on and did Y M C A, well, just what freakin' letter do you think I'm showing?
Hence the laughter, I couldn't stop laughing at myself.
The US GOP finds themselves in a self-made trap...
It's always tough when you start to exclude, you never know where to stop.
