Randomness

 

Once our new home is completed in about 3 months; I vow to return to cooking, something that I love to do. Here are 3 of my most recent cookbook acquisitions.  Multiple dozens of new dishes awaiting to be analyzed, conquered, and consumed.  (Proper credit must be given to Pam for the magnificent crock pot roast prepared last evening). 

 

Growacet capsules. What the Republican party has been missing for a long long long time. Currently consumed in mega doses by The Donald. Good lesson for other aspiring weenie candidates: Send political correctness speech back to the bowels of hell. 

I like Ted Cruz a lot, and his rhetoric resonates with my beliefs.  But, if Cruz does not win the nomination, I will be voting for The Donald, as the USA does not need a female criminal running things. 

 

I don't miss cats; but I was able to tolerate them for my daughters sakes.  We had several cats, and though I don't remember all of their names, this picture perfectly encapsulates the normal life of a devil cat that once lived in our home.

 

Laura Ingraham is the most-listened-to woman in America on political talk radio. At age 53, she is brilliant, beautiful, bold; and shockingly ~ still single. Her show "The Laura Ingraham Show" is ranked in radio's Top 10 talk shows, and is heard coast-to-coast in 225 markets.  (Tulsa AM1170).

She is the author of several New York Times bestsellers including: The Obama Diaries, Power to the People, Shut Up & Zing, and The Hillary Trap. She is a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel and a substitute host on The O'Reilly Factor.

Laura is a former white-collar defense attorney and Supreme Court law clerk.  She is a breast-cancer survivor and a passionate supporter of our military troops. She resides in Washington, DC with her three adopted foreign-national children: Maria, Dmitri and Nikolai.

Mainly because of her acerbic wit combined with her staccato delivery; she is my new favorite political commentator (though I also still love Sean, Rush, Michael, Michael, Rush, Glenn, and twin sister Ann).

Fishing

Kelly Wood is a good friend of mine.  He is also a professional fisherman.  This is his jersey that he wears during tournaments, and the cool thing about this jersey is the logo of our company that shows on the lower right corner.  He also placed our logo on the windshield of his bass boat; a rig so bad and beautiful (for a boat) that it makes fish swim right up to it.

My Dad is a fisherman.  Primarily a Canadian fisherman, as he goes there once a year to fish.  He has done so well up there over the years that he was awarded the Master Angler award; which I blogged about a few years ago.  Dad does not fish locally.

For me; I fished as a young teenager from the shore lines of ponds and caught some really nice crappie.  But, after that, pretty much walked away from the sport, and over the last 45 years, have only fished 4-5 times.  It sincerely is not that I don't like to fish, I just never took a shine to it.  I prefer things that are high energy, risky, high impact, fast.  (Like racquetball and roller coasters).

But, in the same breath; I also love to read and write, and though I don't spend enough time doing either ~ it is still a low volume form of stress relief.  And back on the high energy side, I love to listen to super loud high energy music, and watch loud guy movies.  (Pam says I am going deaf).  Maybe so, but I still love the sound of loud when it comes to explosions and music. 

I do have a bit of a dichotomy to myself ~ but who doesn't?

Kelly is about to start up his next season of fishing.  He will stay on the tournament swing through November, and will work 5 to 7 days a week for these 9 months; then not do much for Dec/Jan/Feb.

Last year, Kelly was ranked #51 in the nation.  He expects to break into the Top 50 this year, and has a new boat set to arrive on March 17th that he is salivating about.  This is a sponsored boat, and he now gets a new one every 1-2 years from his sponsors.

Good luck Kelly!  Hope this is your best year ever.
