Believe me when I say...

keeping the beat on the Kettle Drum is not easy! They gave me a chance to participate.
Things went well for about a minute when they shut me down & Michael took over...

I blew my shot...my arm got tired, I got confused & I lost my rhythm...

Frustration...65 years I have been watching Philly Teams. Timmy says Philly is a place where coaches & players go to die...

Per Wikipedia... Philadelphia has a long history of professional sports teams. Philadelphia is one of six cities that has won at least one championship in the NHL, NFL, MLB, and NBA. Philadelphia's combined total of 16 championships in these leagues ranks sixth among North American cities.

I don't know where Wikipedia gets their 16 championships from. I watched/listened to the Eagles 2, the Phillies 2, the 76er's 2, the Flyers 2? But I don't remember the other 8! Must have been before my birth!

I'm thinking LOBO is the Ben Simmons of dog shows...

  • Distracted for some reason
  • Looking for a Kardashian in the audience
  • Never gave the whole routine a shot
  • Looked bored with the whole ordeal
LOBO appears to have Talent...just doesn't give a shit!

I always look forward to Friday & their latest adventure!

A little Grandfatherly bragging...

 The last time Justin visited Blossom Hill was around Thanksgiving of 2019...

At the time he told me he was playing Lacross as a Freshman. He never played the game before.

I asked him if he was any good at the game...he told me he stinks at it! Said I can't catch & I

can't toss! I just told him to work on it. I told him, you are a jock, you'll figure it out.


As a Sophomore Justin got this award!
He also suffered a broken shoulder playing the game.

The story behind Michael & the Hitchhikers started when they were in High School and they could not get a Gig!

We have Joe Pas, Carl W, Ray Duff who formed a Kingston Trio type group in the '60's


Michael wanted to join, but he didn't have an instrument...I think he had a fake cow bell
from our mothers kitchen...

Anyway, this is an interview that Eddie conducted in Michael & Mary's back yard.

There is a good tune at the end!

Need a cover photo I am told...my Goal is to be able to ride Ernest before the Summer is over.

Remember those old roadway work signs?

" Temporary inconvenience. Permanent improvement."



One week after left knee replacement.

Temporary inconvenience, then permanent improvement?

 Hoping...

Sailing South to the Keys with Mom, Dad & the Nugget...

Ran into a 70 year old stranger this week & she asked me...

"Weren't you one of the Puckett Brothers?"


So I'm posting this old video because, "every word is true!"
