Don’t Bet On It!
I may have a gambling problem. After church yesterday, parents of Sunday School children were herded into the gymnasium to hear what our children were being taught. I noticed that I was the only parent out of 50+ to have stopped by the food table before heading to the meeting. Yes, I may also have an eating problem. I definitely should not have taken chips and guacamole. The crunching of the chips reverberated through the large gymnasium with every bite. And the guac was a little spicy, so I had to try and suck some juice from the watermelon slice I took to calm the burning on my tongue.
But more to my point about gambling, we were shown some questions that our children were supposed to discuss. This one caught my eye …

The Shirt Off My Back
In the wake of the recent Las Vegas mass shooting, I think it may be a good idea if I don’t wear this German hockey team’s shirt for a while …
Translated, it means The Adler Mannheim, but who knows German in the USA? Most Americans can’t tell when to use “you’re” or “your.” And don’t get me started on the use of “there” vs. “their” vs. “they’re.”
I definitely will NOT be wearing this shirt to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.

Foresight
Reporters cornered Donald Trump today at his New Jersey golf resort to ask him to rate his administration’s response to the devastation in Puerto Rico on a scale of 0 to 4. Trump replied, “Fore!”
No man is an island … but Puerto Rico is!
On the disaster in Puerto Rico, yesterday Donald Trump demonstrated that he had a clear understanding of the gravity of the situation … “This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water.” I may be hard on Trump sometimes, but in fairness to him, I think he’s got a pretty good handle on the “islandosity” of Puerto Rico. He really nailed it. Puerto Rico is indeed an island in the ocean.
And then he made this promise to the people of Puerto Rico …

Take My Knee, Please
As I got ready to watch my beloved Chicago Bears take on the detestable Green Bay Packers in a Thursday Night Football tilt, I wondered how both teams would address the whole “take a knee” issue. I know I was ready.
Strange Election
The special Alabama Republican Senate primary was a very strange election indeed, although Strange was not elected. Allow me to explain …

Another Musical Interlude
Sit back, take a break, and enjoy the latest tune from our musical collaboration (some say “supergroup”) called Sunsets Rising. It’s a song called “I Don’t Know Where The Sunset Goes,” and I wrote it during one of my frequent trips between Chicago and St Louis while watching the sun set. Not much else to do on that drive, although I am dying to stop at …
