Briefly. (Have to get to the beach, you know)

Gas prices have skyrocketed so I am forced to again sell nudes. $5 to get one, $25 to not get one.

And away we go! Two 12 seeds knock off 5 seeds and #15 St. Peter’s beats #2 Kentucky. Who around these parts, and elsewhere, didn’t like John Calipari during his run with UMass back in the late 80’s, early 90’s? Having said that I had no problem watching his Kentucky Wildcats go down last night. See ya!

My brackets? As if you care, one is trash, the other arguably had early potential.

As stated previously, often, I’m not a Duke fan but what a story that would be if Coach K goes out on top.

I want to get lost in your rock n roll and drift away…

Article I’ll skip: Mark Ruffalo, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Stiller and more sign letter protesting Canada Gas Pipeline. “Oh, Leonardo signed it, well!!!!” Please…

Go away, Tom Brady. I’ve always been a big fan and appreciate all that he has done in New England, but go away and stop with this Brett Favre bullshit. It’s embarrassing.

This week’s sign of the apocalypse: Minnesota Viking’s quarterback Kirk Cousins, that’s right Kirk Cousins, signed a $35M contract for the upcoming season, every penny of which is guaranteed.

I’ll admit I watch my use of toilet paper since the pandemic. I just do. But let me tell you, when on vacation the paper comes off that roll like there’s no tomorrow!

I sneezed while eating alphabet soup, took the words right out of my mouth.

Be careful out there. (It’s a jungle!)

“I’ve been to
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocopilla, Barranquilla, and Padilla, I’m a killer.

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I’ve a-had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.
