Springtime Daffodils

There is wind and there is dust.

The news is just one un-happy thing after another.

Time for a break!

Los Lobos Lost

Another UNM Lobo basketball year is gone.  This time, Harvard of the West, Stanford - the university of Tiger Woods and New Mexico's own Notah Begay dealt the deadly blow at the NCAA.  

Oh Well!

At the Mountain West tournament, it was fun & frolic.






As was said last year, there's always next year!   
Will we say that again?

Jay Leno's Goodbye!

What a class act!

It was a part of television history - and it didn't disappoint.

Leaving the #1 show after 22 years is really tough.

Jay Leno did it with class, and style, and emotion!

That's why he was Number One!

(Oh, and his live stand-up routines in a live show are killer - go see him sometime!   He's got more free time now, so expect him at an area casino soon, maybe not arriving by jet, but in one of his dozens of classic cars!  

An idea for a tour, Jay.  Get Your Kicks on Route 66 Jay Leno Summertime Tour.

But, don't expect a Sunday night show - I think he does every Sunday night at The Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach!)

Another speech

Andy Borowitz - the modern day Art Buchwald - does it again!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — As President Obama prepares to deliver his State of the Union address tonight, congressional Republicans are promising to respond with what they call their grumpiest faces ever.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) confirmed that the G.O.P. have been practicing in front of mirrors for weeks in the hopes of creating just the right grouchy-face look for the TV cameras.


“Tonight, President Obama is going to lay out his vision for this country,” he said. “We owe it to the American people to look like someone just pissed in our cornflakes.”

For some, the task of looking crabby “is just another day at the office,” said Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), widely viewed by his fellow-Republicans as the reigning sourpuss in Congress.
“It’s a gift I have,” he said. “It’s one of the perks of being a steaming cauldron of spite.”

Perhaps the most sustained performance of sulkiness will fall to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who will be seated behind the President and therefore will be on camera for the entire duration of the address.

“There’s a lot of pressure on me to look sullen for an entire hour, but I’m up to it,” he said. “It helps that I will be in the same room with so many people I despise.”

Lobo Basketball Woes

OK..being a basketball coach (or a player) is something about which I know nothing.

Having an opinion - that's different.

So, what's the deal with the UNM Lobos this year?

In my opinion...The coach needs to step up, forget that he's "Noodles" and remind himself every minute of the day, "I'm the coach, I'm the guy these young men are depending on to get them to bigger and better things."  

Coach needs to forget "being one of the guys" ... add a lot of swagger to his step...like this guy did:



And while he's at it, Coach needs to land a swift kick in the pants to the big guys who should be taking down every defensive rebound.

And the team, listen to this, from a guy who knows something about coaching.  Coach K says:

A basketball team is like the five fingers on your hand. If you can get them all together, you have a fist. That's how I want you to play.

Rodman Un





Do you think that Kim Jong-un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of North Korea, Marshal and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army, and presidium member of the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea is telling all of his followers that the hated Americans all look and act like Dennis Rodman!



Yikes!
