My challenge to Kelly...

This is a recent Photo that Kelly put up on her Facebook page.  For the past 12 weeks or so Kelly has been arising @ 5AM for a 6AM workout that is being Filmed by those "Hollywood Types". When I was there I witnessed it! They even give her 3 meals a day in a giant Green thermos like Back-pac which she carries home each day. That's all she ate! I admit, most of it looked pretty good.
Well, talking to Sam tonite, he tells me they offered the work-out people another 30 days...Free of Charge. Kelly signed up.
So, my challenge to Kelly when I saw this photo was...

  • With all the working out you have been doing I will be REALLY Impressed when you can hold all THREE of your kids in your arms at the same time...
Kelly has not yet responded to my challenge.

Wednesday morning Drama @ Pea's place & I Post this cause I feel Good!

Sophie had to be picked up @ PHL about 12:30 PM & I had to go to the VAMC at about the same time.  Sophie is a repeat customer.. I could not breathe. Seems I am a repeat customer @ the VAMC.  Yes, on Saturday I once again tasted the turf in the Pea Pantry...passed out...tattooed my Face once again.

  • I got dropped off @ the VAMC- & found myself @ the "Head of the Line" in each Stage of the ER...I couldn't breathe.
  • got Great Care. Lectured to  & Tested: EKG, 5 blood vials, 4 "culture growth" bottles, a CT Scan, a Chest X-ray two IV's & a Jet Pilot Face Mask with Oxygen & Steam coming through.
Sophie got picked up on time. She was discovered in Terminal "D"
  • I have a 4PM appointment today with my Primary Care Doc...he is not going to be pleased with my efforts regarding my Health. 
I called Stoneman Wed. about 10AM.  Telling him that we cannot leave Sophie out there alone! He had no clue who Sophie was or what I was calling about.  I gave him a description of Sophie, the time of her arrival & details of my dilemma. He jumped into Action saying..."I'll be right over!"...he was Tardy...
  • we left here @ 11:55AM, got to the VAMC @ 12:23PM
Stoney then went in search of Sophie! To make a Long Story Longer...
  • Sophie was picked up on time (though she did question whether she was being Babe-napped) since she is only 60 years old & had never met A StoneMan before!
Stoney got me out of the VAMC @ about 5:30PM  and we proceeded to the "Urban Saloon" on Fairmount Ave for Beers & a Sandwhich... So I Ask...


  • Other than a Wife...who is better than a Brother?

I was innocently checking out "Blog Features" & the side show appeared. I have Zippo to do w/ what was chosen...it was The Blog Observer's

... meanwhile, down in "Ginny"...The photo above was sent to me by Andy (TJ's favorite son-in-law) who, when he saw this he asked TJ..."what the @#$% are you doing?" Putting one used Ketchup Bottle on top of another Full Ketchup Bottle to Drain what? more ketchup?

  • Andy went on to say to TJ..."don't embarrass Me! Just go open up a New Ketchup Bottle!!!Jeez!!!"
to which TJ responded..."waste not, want not..."

#1 Son called me on Friday night & told me that he & his Misses were disappointed...

...that the Blog has not been opinionating on the current Political situation coming out of DC! What with the Budget deal, the Rating Downgrade, the Tea Party takeover, the Jason Werth debacle & the departure of McNabb & Haynesworth...they think The Blog has been Too Mellow!

  • perhaps they have a Point...

Now-a-days, with the Ball that hit the dirt being replaced along with Players & Ball Girls handing them to Fans...

...how many Baseballs do you think are used in the average MLB Game?

  • And...what do you think MLB pays for one Baseball?

Phils are in "The City By The Bay" & Timmy is stuck in Virginia in his Favorite Daughter's house without the MLB Network!


That's why I bought a bag of peanuts at The Acme today, so I could munch on them while watching the game. My question is...The Acme had two different bags of peanuts to choose from.

  1. Salted Peanuts
  2. Non Salted Peanuts
If the Peanuts are in their shell...
  1. Do they PUT the Salt into the Peanut Shell, or...
  2. ...Do they SUCK the Salt out of the Peanut Shell ?
I'm just wondering. And did you notice that The Fans in the stands are wearing jackets, sweat shirts & sweaters?

  • much cooler than a 90degree+ cellar in Philadelphia...
...and why don't the PHILS have away jerseys that say...PHILADELPHIA ???

For the 1st time in 17 years someone knocked on the door & asked if I wanted my lawn cut!

No...this is not a Photo of Jeff! But, this is what Jeff looked like in my Eyes when he said, "I'll cut your lawn for $10.00". I paid Jeff $20.00..I have to mention that Jeff had ...

  • A Lawn Mower with Wide back wheels
  • A weed Wacker
  • and an Extension cord
  • He had No Truck! He was walking through the neighborhood looking to make a BUCK!
I just hope that Jeff was not "casing the joint" since I am paranoid & Jeff knows that my "Mad Dog Coco"  is no longer here...
  • Some of this stuff I am teasing about...
but Jeff seemed like an "old school" lawn mower...looking to make some Money...


There is nothing More Pleasant than a Happy Woman...!


Kevin Durant: Catches Fire in the 4th Qtr

The Video reminds me of many years ago when I was assigned to "Guard" Geoff Petrie in the "Gold Medal Tournament": in Phila. I never saw anything like it! The Man could shoot the Jumper when he dribbled 2 steps past half-court. Geoff was a #ONE Draft choice...people that play Pro Ball (in any Sport)  are so much better than Gym Rats!

  • PS...Geoff Petrie was way more talented than "Jimmy Walker"...

Philly has a problem with "Flash Mobs" & Mayor Nutter had this to say about that...


Nutter said the response plan would be unveiled the week of Aug. 8, after his scheduled return from vacation. He said the plan would "consider enforcement options, prosecution, social response, counseling and neighborhood outreach.

    • that'll solve the Problem...all they need is a little counseling & neighborhood outreach, among other things.. LIBERALS!
