Today’s Most Presidential quote: "Our Justice Department and our FBI - at the top of each, because inside they have incredible people - but our Justice Department and our FBI have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now," Trump said. "I wanted to stay out, but at some point if it doesn't straighten out properly ... I will get involved and I'll get in there if I have … [Read more...]

Quotes from a Reuters article
August 24, 2018 By
Reuters - U.S. President Donald Trump criticized social media companies on Friday, saying without evidence that they have silenced "millions of people" in an act of censorship. Trump did not mention any companies by name. On Tuesday, Facebook Inc, Twitter Inc and Alphabet Inc removed hundreds of accounts tied to an alleged Iranian propaganda operation, while Facebook took down a second campaign … [Read more...]
Quote of the decade
August 24, 2018 By
Quote of the decade: “I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.” … [Read more...]
New email address for me – JK
August 19, 2018 By
So, you know how FB informs you of your friends birthdays? Today, it told me that a former colleague will be celebrating his b-day in a couple of days. Being “curious”, I went to his FB “about” page to find out how old this gentleman is, and I found something which rang home with me, his email address is MacysGrandPa@whatever.com Over the last few yrs, he’s posted a number of pics of his … [Read more...]
Movie: Peacock
August 17, 2018 By
Watched a really different movie tonight, “Peacock”, staring Cillian Murphy (whom I find to be always seemingly play very bizarre characters), Ellen Page, Susan Sarandon, and Bill Pullman. It’s kinda mystery, psycho thriller. Not scary though. If you intend to watch it, don’t read up on it before watching - it’ll ruin one of the many plot twists. Less than ninety mins long. … [Read more...]
People behind me on the bus
August 16, 2018 By
I’m on the bus, riding home, directly behind me are two women, with a toddler and a baby, all of whom are making tons of noise. And, you know what?? I’m ok with it. Seven years ago, I would be having a cow, giving them the evil eye, quickly turning my head around, and just as quick turning it back to facing forward. I would be steaming, the steam would be coming out of my ears by the … [Read more...]
President Trump and recent tweets
August 16, 2018 By
Finally someone (apparently, a whole bunch of someone’s) are standing up to our current President, and his stupid “the press is our enemy” nonsense. https://www.npr.org/2018/08/16/639125774/hundreds-of-newspapers-denounce-trumps-attacks-on-media-in-coordinated-editorial … [Read more...]
Tv Show “Better Things” – hilarious scene – “No!”
August 13, 2018 By
This is one of the most hilarious scenes I’ve ever seen. I laughed my head off all throughout it. I’m sorry to say, if you don’t know the context, you may not think it as funny as the people who’ve seen the beginning of the episode, and/or understand the context of their “friendship/relationship”, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuFulZY6Qz0&feature=share … [Read more...]
Chipotle – queso dip!
August 12, 2018 By
Was eating at Chipotle the other day - hadn’t eaten there in months. Apparently they have a new item: queso dip/sauce. Best ever! I had some left over from my hard shell tacos, so I took it home with me. Not going to share what I put on, but, let me tell you, it’s quite good. Yum, yum. [ok, calm down, I’ll tell you. I had some left over Papa Murphys (pepperoni and green olive) pizza from last … [Read more...]

Leisurely Sunday – Biking down the River Kwai
August 12, 2018 By
Embellishments follow. Lots of embellishments. Got invited to go on a bike ride today. Knowing I’d not been on my bike since 3-4 yrs ago, they said, “It’ll be fun - don’t worry, it’ll be an easy ride - just round the neighborhood, one time around” Ok, I said. For whatever reason, they convinced me to put on a blindfold as I got into their car, with my bike. The car stopped, and I was allowed … [Read more...]

Crabbing about Mass Transit and having to work on a Saturday
August 12, 2018 By
There is not much that I crab about or get irritated with these days, but this morning takes the cake. I had something to do at work today, an all day long thing (upgrade of a product I support). Knowing 35w is under construction/closed, I drove to the MOA train station (actually the 28th ave. station), got on the train, anticipating the usual 30 min ride to downtown. Halfway there, at 38th … [Read more...]
New series on Showtime – The Fourth Estate
August 10, 2018 By
A few months ago, I saw advertisements on Showtime regarding a new documentary they were releasing. It looked pretty interesting, but of course, I then promptly forgot about it. Came across it again tonight, and it’s titled “The Fourth Estate”, a four part series (for Season one, not sure whether a second season is coming). I only had time to watch the first episode before heading off to bed, but … [Read more...]

Not shooting pics of Lailah
August 7, 2018 By
Let it be known that GranPaBrian spent a short period of time with the little girl on Friday evening, AND then all afternoon on Saturday, AND did not take out his cell phone to take any pics of her. He also didn’t bring a camera with him either. Enjoying the life of Lailah without a camera in my hands is something totally foreign to me - what a concept. What.is.the.world.coming.to? [in case you … [Read more...]
