Happy Birthday Gerald Pea!

Jason in the studio... "Movin' and Rollin'"

After a day of helping me and Susan move some furniture from Susan's Mom's condo, Jason hit the studio at Oxford Circle. I suggested to him that he could come up with an original song, all he needed was an idea. "Movin' and Rollin'" was the result. This video is a 1 minute preview of the full song. Background vocals feature Gerald Pea. Jason on guitar, lead guitar, lead and background vocals. Is this the start of a solo CD from Jason?

I spent a few hours tonight with Mary & "the girls". ..

"The Kanes" are headed to another get-together at The Shore in June. Mary tells me they have 65 Specially made "T-shirts" with a LOGO, ready to distribute to the Kane attendees...

• Meanwhile, the last Post Posted on this Blog asked if anyone wanted to get together for a get-away in The Poconos...

Not ONE Response...

• Oy vey...I guess we'll save money on "T-shirts" And we won't have to come up with a clever LOGO!

Anybody want to go to the Poconos?

Judy Ann's brother & his wife Caroline own a home in the Poconos, it's a really nice place. They have asked if I would like to go there with my brother's. I am going to take them up on their offer. I'm thinking of the week of June 21, a Monday... That happens to be "the First official Day of Summer"! Me & Coco will stay til Friday...anybody else want to go ?

• you can show up for one night or for all 4 nights
• we could play music loud (it is a single home)
• we could play Chess (anybody other than me play chess?)
• we could play Board Games (anybody other than me play Board Games?)
• we could play cards (anybody other than me....?)

We could hunt for Bears, sun tan at the Lake, get Drunk, pick up Chicks, walk in the Woods, Bowl, read books, argue, eat stuff, wax our cars, etc...

• Sounds like Fun to me...

I do have a "conditioned upon"...I have not yet cleared the dates with Jimmy & Caroline. I wanted to get some Feedback first.

• Interested?

There will be NO Bowling Birthday Party for TJ's 60th...

"The Girls" have a Wedding Shower to attend on that day for Jim Meehan's daughter. I just hope I can find the receipt for my Bowling shoes so I can return them to "Richard's " Sporting Goods Store!

Fresh & Clean as All Outdoors !!!

A few years ago my Dermatologist suggested that I shouldn't shower every day, because of my sensitive skin. I have taken his advice and my skin is still DRY & I start smelling after 4 days without a Shower...! Now, Coco is another story altogether...

• She is 12.5 years old now and Stinks to the High Heavens!
• She hates to be bathed...
• Has probably had 4 Baths in her life!

And now it is time for another one! This apartment is really smelling of Dog Stench...

• Thus, I am looking for a Dog Handler to Handle Coco while I pour some Ivory Liquid on her in the back yard and Hose Her Down!

Any Volunteers?

Lots to talk about on this Saturday, 5/22/10 !

Sister Alyce visited today, I actually had a One on One with her! We dined at Applebees & talked back and forth. Sisters are Great! Brothers are sometimes not so Great, conversationally speaking...

• I had to leave at 6:15 PM for a College Graduation Party
• That means I had to leave Sis with Coco...ONE ON ONE !

Paul was at a LaSalle Alumni Function that I was not invited to...even though I am a LaSalle Alumnus...I guess I don't have the "Donation Bucks" that Dutch has, ergo, I am not Invited...

• Be that as it may...I went to the Graduation Party of one of Kevin's daughters and had a nice time
• We talked at the Party about Aunt Alyce (who is not a dog person by nature) & how she & Coco would get along.

I got Home about 9:30 PM, Coco was on the lap of Alyce, they had taken a walk on "The Ridge" & Sis could not believe how often the Dog stopped to Sniff things! (I told you she is not a dog person)...

• Anyway, it was a Good Day!

And Mary? Anytime you want to Dog Sit Coco you just let me know...

Is this too sarcastic a Question ?

I was in my local Hardware store today looking for "Pads" for the legs of my 20 year old kitchen chairs. The Pads that prevent the chairs from scraping the floor. I even brought a Sample of the old Pads. I picked off the shelf what I thought would suffice. I took it to the Hardware Store Genius Counter (a little iMac sarcasm there) and asked the Genius behind the counter if I had a Match.

• the guy had no clue what I was talking about...
• "what you have in that package Pal are Gliders, they wrap around the legs of your chair."
• he went on to say..."what you have from your old chair is something I never seen before"

What I had from the old chairs were Pads that were inserted"into" the leg of the chair, the new ones "wrap around" the leg of the chair. So I asked the Genius if he thought that a 1 and a quarter inch wrap around would fit on the outside diameter of my chair leg...

• his response..."I never seen pads inserted into the leg, we only have wrap-a-rounds"

So I asked him this question, which I am asking you...is this too sarcastic?

• I asked, "Do you wake up stupid? Or, do you wake up normal and get more stupid as the day goes by"?

Like a lot of people; Hardware Store people, Mechanics, Car Sales People, Plumbers, Electricians, Lawn Mowers, Bankers, Dentists & Doctors...they think we are all idiots! I did buy the wrap-around pads for one chair and they fit fine. I will be back to the Hardware Store tomorrow to buy pads for the other three chairs...

• Thank you for listening！

My first iPhoto Post! Watch out people!

The Penna Primary

Arlen Specter Arlen is now moving on into the Sunset. God speed Arlen. I am sure Anita will miss you & the "Ricochet" crowd will be distraught...also, someone has now lost a Squash Partner...Woe is America & South & North & West Philadelphia, especially the former Navy Yard.

• how come no-one ever speaks of "East" Philadelphia?

When it comes to Impressing "Chicks"...

How much does it help that you have a "cool name" ?

• Like tonights Pirate Pitcher named, "Zack Duke"?

Do guys get Extra points for having a "cool name" ?

Tuesday, May 18, 2010 is an Election Day. Do you know who this guy is & why he got Blown Up today?

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal

• well, the answer is...he claimed for many years to have served in Viet Nam as a Marine.
• the truth is that after 5 deferments & a Draft Lottery # of 5 he found himself in the Marine Reserves.
• At the time it was a much sought after position. Not many people could get into the Reserves in 1969
• Oh, yea, Richard was working at the White House at the time of his "Enlistment" in the Marines Reserve.
• The man is a liar. And today, election day, to see if he could run for Chris Dodd's seat as Senator from Conn. he held a Press Conference and said that he "MIS-SPOKE" about his Viet Nam Service.

If you are interested you should Google this Fraud and you will see what a blessed life he has lived...up until now !

SO...I got myself an iMAC...

And I just tried to bring up a photo of it & I can't figure it out. My Favorite thing is Scanning...and I haven't figured that out either.

• My second Favorite thing is reading the News on "My Favorites"

...and I haven't figured that out either.

• Photos are a Big Deal to me

...and I haven't figured that out either.

• Finally, I have been advised to establish a Face Book Page

...and I haven't figured that out either.

!@#$%^&*()_!!!!!

Saturday, June 12, 2010...A BOWLERAMA!

To celebrate our Brothers' 60th & to see who is the best Bowler...Somewhere in the Lancaster area, preferably in the afternoon hours. I always loved how the afternoon sun would ray its' light on my bowling ball as it sat in the rack at Adams Lanes on a Summer Saturday as I perspired through Bowling practice...

• Are you Game ???

I hate $7.00 Beers and Rain-outs

...but Double Headers are Fun...

• ...and while in Colorado why do our beloved Phils not wear a Jersey that says...

PHILADELPHIA...(put Pete in The Hall!!!)

I'm watching the Phils in Colorado

About the 3rd inning Utley goes down swinging, followed by Howard going down swinging. Then they give us a Scan of the Ballpark & I "Freeze My Screen"...do you have "Freezing" capability? Anyway, the Concession Sign says this...

• Draught Beer........$6.50
• Bottled Soda.........$4.00
• Bottled Water........$3.50
• Peanuts..................$3.75

Who goes to these Games nowadays?

Has anyone out there had a Profitable Garage Sale?

My first instinct is to just throw it all away, drive it to the Dump! Then I say to myself, well maybe there are people out there that would pay Cash for this stuff. The question is...

• Has anyone out there had a Money Making Garage Sale?

Did you know this Fact...?

One Gallon of Water weighs "just over" 8 Pounds...?

I just got off the phone with The White House and...

Barak is available for an afternoon of revelry in Lancater County on June 12, 2010 to play some Chip & Putt and some Bowling to Celebrate the 60th Birthday of one of his Biggest Supporters, Mr. Timothy Joseph McKendry!

R.I.P. Robin Roberts

I never saw him pitch. Never saw him win a game. I did play basketball against him, he liked it physical and competitve. I did play baseball for him in high school, for one year. I remember a talk he had with me in his home office, when I went there for dinner before a night basketball game. Too bad I didn't realize at the time how special this guy was as a player and as a person. I guess I was thinking I would still be able to say hello to him someday and tell him thanks for caring.

We Need a Golf / Bowling Outing!

We, of the McKendry / Caballero Clan need a golf outing... SERIOUSLY! Is there anyone interested? Thoughts?

I think a Friday would be best. I’m throwing out some dates.

Friday, June 4 Friday, June 18 Friday, June 25 Etc…

Does anyone have a good idea of a golf course to play? We can play on the Pea’s home course of Walnut Lane but I don’t think you guys can handle the difficulty of the course. We need to find you something more suitable to your skill level.

Also, Timmy, please bring an extra cigar for your favorite and strongest nephew.

Was it OK for the Philly Cop to Taser this 17 tear old Jerk?
