A Year of Change

Today is Spirit Day at school as it’s Homecoming Weekend. Tonight we have girls volleyball and tomorrow boys soccer before the dance tomorrow night. On Sunday we’re at the college fair in Aspen. So we’re busy busy again. One thing about kids, there’s no down time.

Today is the vote on Judge Kavanaugh. Hopefully it’ll pass as this guy’s a good man that has been trashed and dragged through the mud like no one ever before in the history of our Country. Our society and it’s “me too” moment is a joke. Every single one of us did something at sometime in our life that wouldn’t pass this test. All the Dems have is that this guy supposedly did something, that no one, no one, has corroborated. And wait, breaking news yesterday, he threw ice when he was in high school! OOOOOOO! The latest background check, number 7, still shows nothing. Now of course the Dems are saying the Feds didn’t interview the two people that testified for over 30 hours over 3 days under the penalty of perjury. So the Senators that had hours and hours to ask the accuser and the Judge questions are now saying they need the Feds to do what they didn’t as they were too busy playing politics rather than doing their job. It’s so obvious what the Dems are doing and if anyone does not see that and somehow justifies trashing this guy and saying that without proof, he shouldn’t be confirmed, you ought to just move to a Country where you truly are guilty based on hearsay. If we ever get to the point where we are no longer innocent until proven guilty, God help us. No one should wish for this as that’s what happens in Communist countries and others where you have zero rights. Careful what you wish for. Also it turns out all these protests are staged and funded by George Soros, the Hungarian liberal, One World Government activist that Hungary won’t let back into his own country. And how about the Democratic Senator aide who was arrested for posting home addresses of Republican Senators and their kids info, nice, really nice. I pray to God this guy gets in and the Dems never get power as they’ve shown they will do anything including lie, cheat and destroy a good man and his family to get what they want. You sure didn’t see this when Obama’s two nominees, who are now judges, were nominated. What an embarrassment these people are, to themselves, their families and most of all, our Country.

Oh and here’s one for you, our school, which had celebrations all week, told the kids mid week that they can’t call Hawaiian Shirt Day, Hawaiian Shirt Day and are changing it to Tropical Shirt Day so we don’t offend any Hawaiians! Are you kidding me? What is the World coming to, and by the way, we don’t have any Hawaiians here at school in Vail. Also how do Hawaiian Shirts offend Hawaiians? Good God, help us.

That’s it, now go have a great day and Go Rockies, GB.

Tonight the Rockies start their 5 game series against the Brewers. I’m sure we’ll be the underdog again but that’s ok, Go Rockies! First up I have a trade tasting in Denver from about 12 until 3 or 4. I’m heading down this morning to drop our truck off to have a clear bra put on the front before the tasting and run some errands. Lori’s taking the boys to school this morning and has a meeting there also at 3:30. Jag has soccer until 6 as usual and Ty has a ton of homework.

I was in Glenwood, Carbondale and Basalt yesterday where it sure was pretty. Soon it’ll all be covered in white which will last until sometime next April. Homecoming is also coming up this weekend along with a college tour in Aspen which has about 50 representatives from various schools coming to town. So Saturday and Sunday are both tied up, of course, for Lori and I. Oh well, as Mom always said, you do what you have to do. Have a great day, GB.

We stayed up until a little after 11:30 to see the Rockies beat the Cubs in 13 innings! Whoo hoo, what a game! It was the longest post season one and done game in MLB history.

Before that it was another long day. Today Lori and I have more of the same with me having to go to Glenwood and Carbondale while Lori works and the boys have school. I think both boys have half day. It’s 7:20 now and we overslept since we were up so late.

It’s foggy and drizzly outside which is nice, a good Fall day. Time to run, hope all’s well, take care and GB.

Well we lost both games yesterday, baseball and football. At least with baseball we get a do over tonight at 6 to try to win and move on. In our football game, we should have won. Our coach should be fired today, in fact he should have been fired last year. Let’s see if Elway has any balls.

I feel like I own a taxi service. I drive here and there and everywhere every single day. We end up going to school at least three times a day between the two of us. Throw in a trip to take Harley to daycare and then Lori going to work and we spend more time in the car than not. That’s one of the downsides to living up here as nothing is close. Today I need to go to the distributor and Thursday I have an industry tasting in Denver too. Both boys will be at school until 6 tonight which is when the Rockies game starts.

The World is going nuts. Apparently we’ve all been abused at sometime according to some people on tv who I guess speak for all of us. Hard to believe anyone my age ever grew up. No seat belts, our parents would drink and drive, women were whistled at, men said suggestive things, there were no “safe spaces”, everyone “didn’t” get a trophy, we had no cell phones or Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or internet, our politicians actually worked together and didn’t lie to get what they want, man how did we make it. Too bad we can’t flick a switch and go back to when I was a kid as I’d take my family there in a second. We’re not headed in the right direction and I fear what the World will be in a decade or two for the boys. Time to buy some land somewhere out of the way.

That’s it, time to get moving, Go Rockies, please fire our Coach and God Bless.

It’s a big sports day around here. First up the Rockies play the Dodgers in a one game playoff and then on Monday Night Football the Broncos play the Chiefs. We’re hoping to go 2 for 2!

Yesterday Lori and I went to Aspen for a little shopping and lunch. We needed to go to the pet store and Target in Glenwood so it wasn’t that much further. Lori found some cute jeans and a fun pair of furry pink tennis shoes. We then had lunch at one of our favorite spots before heading home.

Once home we cleaned a bit before winding the weekend down. We need to get moving this morning as there’s lots to do and both boys never get up when they’re supposed to. It’s the same old crap every morning with kids as they’d sleep all day if you let them. Oh well, so would we, ha. Have a great day and GB.

About 2 miles south on the hill above us is a small fire of about 25 acres. Looks like they have a handle on it but it’s a little too close to home. I walked Harley up the mountain to check it out last night and it looks like we’ll be fine.

Jag scored the first goal in the soccer game yesterday and almost had another but was tackled which then gave his team mate an easy goal. We won 4 to 0. After the game Jag and his friend Nick and his parents and Lori and I went to Nobu for sushi for dinner. Tom and Jennifer (Nicks parents) are really nice and we had a good time. Meanwhile Ty went to Will’s to hang out with him as it was his dads birthday and they had a party for him. We let him spend the night.

Lori and I are headed to the gym this morning and then we’re not sure what’s going on for the rest of the day. The Rockies need a win today as L.A. won yesterday and we lost and it all comes down to the last game of the season to determine who wins the division.

That’s about it, October 1st tomorrow, have a great day, GB.

Today Jag is off at 8 am to meet his buddy’s for breakfast before soccer at 11. They play two games (I think) so it’ll go until 2 or 3 this afternoon. Tonight there’s a girls volleyball game at Battle Mountain both boys want to go to. We heard through Ty that Jag asked Emaa to go to Homecoming and Ty is still undecided as if he’s asking anyone. It’s next Saturday.

Lori and I might run over to Aspen today. Not sure yet. It’s cool out this morning and nice. She came home from work early yesterday as she’s had a bad stomach since all the girls went to lunch Thursday. Must have been some onions in something. We decided to go to the gym as neither of us had been all week which is unusual for us. We’re stopping workouts with our trainer as he’s just too expensive. We might even switch gyms and go back to the one near our house where all the ski kids workout. It’s way cheaper.

Marty stopped by and picked up his cooler yesterday which has been in my garage since we drove over to Montrose to pick up our elk. It’s huge and was taking up a ton of space! October 1st is Monday, wow! Soon it’ll be Halloween and then non stop until 2019. Tom should be getting out his Christmas stuff any day now. Not sure what we’re doing for Christmas as I think Tom and Ali might be headed to Seattle where her parents are moving. We’ll either stay in Vail or get on a plane to somewhere hopefully warm.

Time to get moving, have a great weekend and God Bless, and go Rockies! (we’re in the playoffs)

Not sure who watched the hearings on tv yesterday but it was a sad commentary on our elected officials and supposed representatives. Any honest observer would agree that the Dems were an embarrassment to the World. In what Country do we live in where now someone is guilty just by an acquisition? Well according to the Dems, this Country. The Republicans treated the woman with respect and went out of their way to accommodate her every wish, even at the detriment of being able to really get to any facts, yet the Dems attacked and attempted to destroy a good man based on some hear say from 36 years ago when he was in High School. The woman was credible and I believe she probably was abused in some fashion when she was 15 years old but I also believe it was not by this man. Yet the Dems, so desperate to keep him off the bench, said and did everything they could to try to stop him, regardless of whether they had to lie. Sad, very sad. As Obama said, elections have consequences.

Jag was at soccer past Rifle until 9:30 and scored in his game! Figures he’d be 120 miles away and we’d miss it. Ty did homework and Lori and I worked as usual. We have more soccer tomorrow and it’s supposed to be a nice Fall weekend. Homecoming is a week from tomorrow and Monday is October 1st, hard to believe. That means there’s like 92 days left in the year. Hope everyone is well, have a good weekend and God Bless.

Weather that is, it’s on the way. But right now it’s 7 am and Jag wants to leave in 15 minutes. Lori is back at work and Jag has a soccer game this afternoon in Coal Ridge down by Glenwood Springs. Also today the circus starts on tv surrounding the Supreme Court. We’re watching the sports channel as we have zero interest in participating in the bullshit the dems are pushing to stop someone they don’t want. It’s so sad what some politicians will do all in the name of getting what they want. As Obama said, elections have consequences unless of course your a democrat and you lost, ha.

Lori and I shopped a bit in Denver yesterday and she bought a shirt and a dress. She needs some new winter clothes but we just didn’t find anything. Maybe on the weekend we can find something for her. We picked up Ty a new pair of shoes and a shirt and have a pair of pants being sent for Homecoming. Jag has clothes so he’s all set.

Guess I’ll run so we can get the boys moving. Need to slam our coffee and shower and get out the door. God Bless.

Ok, turns out almost everything you see on tv, except for sports and movies, has a hidden agenda. Even your favorite sitcoms have political bias weaved into them to push the creators ideals. There’s no telling if anything you see is true or not, yet the majority of our gullible, uneducated society thinks, if it’s on tv, it must be true. You need to understand that this is just not so. Wake the hell up and think for yourself. Propaganda is everywhere and almost everything you see has a purpose to either sell you something or make you think a certain way. Television is fine for entertainment but when it shapes who you are, you’re in big trouble. Turns out Americans watch about 3 times more tv than any other country on the planet. That’s why our Country is fat, lazy and our kids now rank in the 20’s education wise, and that IS true!

Let’s move on to the day. Jag had soccer until 6 last night and does again this evening. Lori is off today and we’re going shopping to get her some new winter clothes. Ty is doing well and I, well I’m trying to close the month. It’s warmer this morning than yesterday and will warm up a bit over the next couple days. There is a dusting of snow on the high peaks and soon it’ll be winter.

it’s 6:21 now so time to get going. Hope everyone is well, keep your powder dry and watch your top knot, GB.
