Daddy's Day Respect

Far too often we bash fathers instead of respecting them. Today is the day that they are supposed to get treated to dinner or lunch by their families. Unlike Mother's day fathers tend to get a six pack of bear and the remote to kick up their feet and watch TV. Is this because of the male mentality of being manly men or is it because fathers are a lost aspect in today's family structure?

the Open championship

Angel Cabrera comes through at the Open and puts on a great show this weekend. I like his game and style as well. Good to see the USGA put the tour to the test and provided a wonderful test of golf. Not as penal as Olympic club but a brute of a test and that's why it's ranked in the top 10 every year among the best courses in the world. Cabrera tamed the course better than anyone else over the weekend and stayed fairly consistent except for yesterday's minor hiccup. Hopefully he will have a great fairing at the British Open next month. He was a favorite pick of mine in previous majors over the years.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

The questions of the week will be whether interest rates will rise and if the oil companies are slow rolling their inventory right now. Late last week the price of sweet crude oil role to 67.00 per barrel a high for the year while processed petroleum held steady at 1.13 per gallon. With the fourth of July just weeks away I am sure that the gas prices will rise about a week before the fourth.

Man vs. Wild

what a great show airing on the discovery channel coming back for it's second season. An ex-British Special Forces officer takes you on a journey into real life situations in the wild and how to survive them. Tonight he is in a familiar place for me the Florida everglades. in the last 15 minutes I've watched him navigate a sawgrass grove, cross a small river, sneak past two grown alligators, catch a baby alligator and deduct that because the lil gator was around that larger ones weren't, him catch a small frog and eat it quickly, catch a large turtle, kill and eat it...tastes like chicken. This show is highly watched by the male population.

Brown sugar

One of my favorite movies was on VH-1 Brown Sugar starring Tay Diggs and Sanaa Lathun. This is how it should be done...love, music, and fun. if you haven't seen it go check it out on DVD.

what's on my mind

life and death, light and dark, do or don't... is the world going to get better or is it going to correct itself? how will this take place? will it be man induced or naturally? will we survive or die? Will war do it or will natural disasters be more frequent? A betting man says that a little bit of both will be our fate...hope not.

have a wonderful week...
