I Shall Be Released

Forty three years ago...(I was 30)...



and then...Two years ago...( I was 71) when sheryl crow and jack johnson did the same Dylan song at Farm Aid 2017...

doesn't have the same spirit does it?

Michael & Eddie did a more simple version, but I cannot find the video.

Maybe Eddie can...

In a stunning twist of fate...

Molly's dad convinces her to, 'buy the Hillman'...

As a former Cardinal Dougherty High School point guard

I salute Kyle Lowry for leading the Canadians to the NBA Finals!

and man, he has some good looking teeth & gums...

The Raptors will lose to The Warriors

This may be something you would like to do for your wife, girlfriend, partner, etc...

You know, like surprise them as to how sensitive you are?

A small part of my past reminds me of days gone by & our three Presidents that were born in the same year. It was 1946...

St Charles Borrmeo Seminary

The Lower Side was to the left in the photo,

the Upper Side was to the right.

This news actually makes me somewhat sad.

I was there for only 8 or 9 months.

Very good memories...I left in Sept 1966.

Got drafted in Oct 1966...I appealed my case

with the help of Dutch...we lost our case.

The Seminary Dean dimed me out to the draft board,

along with a number of other seminarian 'drop outs'

I was in The Army by February 1967

I knew nothing about the Bone Spur option!

I will say this about that time...there were so, so many men that did not want to go there and

I do not hold it against anyone that dodged or avoided it.

The privileged college kids did not go...if you were married you were put at

the end of the line, if you had a Doc that declared you 4F you were lucky!

And none of our three Presidents born in 1946 served active duty during those years.

The Phils are playing the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend

I'm guessing most of you are thinking this is a glove with a ball in it.

It was the Brewers Logo from 1978 to 1993.

If you study the Logo, the ball in the glove is

actually surrounded  by a 'm' & a 'b'...

Milwaukee Brewers!

do you get it?

Do you ever wonder...

does anyone bother to look at the Pea Blog any more? Well...

Now isn't that something?

That is just in the past seven days...

Here are the stats on a daily basis

I'm thinking that's pretty cool.

Blossom Hill. I am so happy I retired here...

It is somewhat expensive, but

it is a great community!

Every May I get to watch the roses bloom...

in the Fall they have Camp fires 

 they also do Skits

Grillers that take your order...

They even have a pool!

Even normally frisky Dogs feel Relaxed!

On Blossom Hill!

Getting old? If I figured out how to do this years ago...

how come I am struggling with it now when I have updated music & photos?



I think I'm just 'out of shape' and will figure it out on my bike ride to Sea Isle next week.

Summer...I need to re-do my tank...Fish

The Tank

the fishermen

too many red body, black tail mollies

the catch

the boatswain...

the Captain & 1st Mate

The Angry Sea & the Happy Surf Fishers...

and he The Bomb!

I was surprised..and I apologize to any millennial I may have offended.

I have been critical of Millennials in the past. I apologize. I did not know
the cut off date was 1994! So anybody that has had a kid since 1995 your
kids will be analyzed/scrutinized & dubbed a 'talking point'

So what will it be for the generation born after 1994?



Back when me & my siblings were kids? WE did what they told us to do!

Or else...

We had no safe spaces.

Did anybody watch The Preakness Stakes today? probably not...

The start of the race reminded me of the Summer of 1963 when our future
brother-in-law took me & Michael horseback riding in Fairmount Park.

There were 3 horses in the Barn. Paul chose 'Sour Kraut', I chose 'lay z boy',
and Michael chose 'jumping jack flash'. Michael got thrown from his mount
coming out of the Barn...later during the same ride, my horse hugged a tree & would not move.

I had to walk back to the Barn...we did finally learn to ride, got bored and then convinced our
future brother-in-law that he needed to teach us how to ride Mo-peds

 & he obliged...




Back to The Preakness...I feel bad for the Starter Guy

• For the poor jockey
• For the people that bet on BodexPress
• The owners

And mostly for the horse. I felt sad to see him running w/out a rider. He looked confused.

Took them awhile to gather him...

Why?

Why are the Phillies the only Team in
Major League Baseball that do not have the name of
our City or State on their uniform?

and also...

Why is Pete not in The Hall?

I mean, he did lead two Teams to World Series wins and

he does have MORE HITS than anyone who has ever played the game!

But, he did place a bet or two or more...so there is that...nastiness...

Favorite baseball uniform survey:

Dodger uniforms are the favorites

 Why won't the Phillies put 

philadelphia

on their Uniforms?

The Big Sisters visited tonight

I think they were were reminiscing, cause they looked different...and were talking about Music...
