"Mr. McCain has yet to make his full medical records . . . more
"Berf, I couldn't agree more. I like your' choice of words...you remind me of Big Daddy in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof". Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: What's that smell in this . . ." more
"Corina, You want a good example for your' kids? Take them to Trinity United Church of Christ on the southside of Chicago and be indoctrinated by Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger and Louis Farrakhan." more
"Biden was in good form, but, most of the 'facts' he stated were lies: 1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but . . ." more

"Michael, this trial is totally bogus. 6 months in jail at the most. The fix was in...a chance for getting the black man that murdered those two white people and got away with it. Seriously, kidnapping? . . ." more
I was glad the Celtics won.I was rooting for them all the way. I just watched the first preseason game. Pats against Ravens. Did you? What a mess that Matt Cassell was. The rookie QB played better then he did and so did Matt Guitrez. The SB loss made me sick. It never should havehappened, and to lose to a Manning at that. Think we will go 16-0 again? Randy was saying they are coming back with unfinished buss. he is soooo right. Oh and the last week of Aug. we play NY giants in the preseason. Now, people are saying Jets will give us problems. Farve or no Farve BRADY is still the best QB around.
What about them Celtics? They just beat Detroit to even up the Series at 1-1.
The Pats lose to the Giants was heart-breaking...a perfect season messed up by a mediocre team. The Giants are not a good team...I couldn't believe what happened. However, I had been disenchanted with the Pats defense and pass coverage...for a few weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
Tom Brady spoiled them by bailing them out time and again. They always knew Tom would pick up the slack, but, it was bound to happen. The less than stellar defense would burn the Pats.
In the Super Bowl Tom, again, brought them back late in the game and than the defense blew...again. The Giants have one very important positive whether they are good in other areas of the game or not...they keep the ball out of the other teams hands. The Giants were able to keep Tom from getting the ball.
It's the biggest upset I've ever seen in sports. The Patriots were and still are a superior team than the Giants...I'm still in semi-shock. I didn't watch sports news for about a month after that lose. Didn't want to hear anything about that game.
On that taping issue with Bill Bellichek...I'm glad it's all cleared up...even though, Arlen Specter who apparently has nothing better to do in the Senate wants to continue investigating as a good Pennsylvania politician (Eagles, Steelers) hmmm.
Everybody does it...every team, but, someone over at the Jets finked on the Patriots. The commissioner David Stern knows this is more endemic to the game...it goes way beyond just the Patriots...so he has wisely tried to put a lid on it. Somebody needs to take Arlen aside and infrom him that if this investigation goes further...his' Eagles and Steelers will be swept up in the dragnet, also. That should give him pause to reflect.
I was looking through your' interest and I see that you like the traditional jazz artist...I do, too. I saw that we share a few books (Grapes of Wrath, for instance) and authors (Pearl Buck, for example) and other commonalities (Casablanca, Fellini, Turner Classics) speaking of which, I just spent the entire day watching Bette Davis films on TCM, my favorite actress. She is one of mine as well - such a tantalizing woman in so many respects - a real talent...I do love the old movies of the 40's - mama started having labor pains while she was at the movie theatre in Venezuela - May 9th 1949, I was born! I should be watching a Bette Davis movie now - however, am reading by the fire. Until later. Salud.
Felix - thanks so much for your note - it's good to have such a neat new friend. I did not know that about Puerto Rico and Venezuela. Actually, for a long time, I've thought about going and living a simple life in a simple place. The place where mama was raised in Venezuela is now very tourist oriented. Many of my cousins are chasing the elusive buck. I really don't know them well. I write to one, Carmen Elena and she really wants me to come visit. I'm afraid if I go I might stay there and find some little village and just veg out...I love a simple life especially one in which I am outside most of the time. I love heat and I do love the tropics. Louisiana offers me that opportunity six months out of the year. I am blessed in that respect and it is closer to my birthplace. I'm glad you pinged me and hope you don't leave Gather. My other email is Bayoutoes@aol.com should you decide Gather is not for you. I like it here though as I've met so many folks and my world is expanding. Ok I have to go and read your Ping again...it was nice hearing from you. Salud.
You have a very interesting life as well as well as many of the same interests as I -
