ZOMBIE BIKE RIDE

Today’s blog will be short and to the point. It is just after 11 as I start. I had dinner with Jenna last night at Tavern ‘n Town. Had a flat tire when I left.

Keith pick me up this morning and drioe me back to the Marriott. Called AAA. Took a couple of hours for them to arrive. Tire changed. Spare a for real tire. New. Low on air. Stopped at the gas station to fill it.

Got home. Fell! First time in a long time. Tripped going up the stairs. Left shoulder and ribs sore. I was hurrying and forgot to pay attention.

Zombie Bike Ride today. A part of Fantasy Fest. Began three years ago. People dress in a scary fashion ride their decorated bikes on a 4 mile trip.

Three years ago when started, there were 40 bike riders. Today, over 1,000 are already registered. A party afterwards, of course. All the therapists at Body Owners were excited friday. They are all participating as a unit.

On top of everything else, I could not sleep last night. Time not wasted. Worked from 1 to 6 researching this week’s KONK Life column.

I decided to write about a woman. Strong women are very much in the news these days. I wrote of a woman whose exploits began in 60 AD. Her name, Boudicca. Also known as the Warrior Queen. An interesting story. I will write the article this afternoon.

Syracuse lost to Pitt yesterday 23-20. Pitt scored a field goal with 3 seconds left. Syracuse played well in the first half. Sucked in the second. Pitt a good team. Ranked.

No question, good things next year. No way this year.

I was supposed to be at Don’s Place at 9:30 this morning. The Buffalo Bills are playing the Jaguars in London. The reason for the early starting time. Clara was bringing breakfast. I was going to bring two dozen bagels. Never made it to Don’s.

The Marquesa is a fine restaurant. Top shelf dining. It is part if a hotel complex. The rooms are beautiful. The pool area gorgeous. A block off Duval.

Marquesa announced it is expanding. Construction to begin in January. Marquesa has bought the William Kerr House on Simonton and the Pilot House next door. The acquisitions will add 14 new rooms, a swimming pool and additional parking.

I am sorry if I offend some. However, I think Chairman Gowdy of the Benghazi sub-committee is an asshole. Inept. Some writers have been making fun of him. He has been referred to as Gowdy Doody. Also a most interesting observation: He led the Republicans into a Russian winter.

Theatrical people are passing on. The great Maureen O’Hara. A wonderful actress. Her career began in the 1940s. Also, Fenster. Remember Fenster? He was a part of the Adams Family TV show. His real name, Marty Ingles.

As Porky Pig was wont to say…..That’s all folks!

Enjoy your Sunday!

  1. “Also, Fenster. Remember Fenster? He was a part of the Adams Family TV show. His real name, Marty Ingles.”

    I think you mean Uncle Fester. Great guy and he’d have my vote for President any day.

  2. At least ‘Gowdy Doody’ and his 6 republicans proved hillary as an incompetent and as a liar. [ Some of us already knew that though].
    600 requests for added security ignored or denied and her emails [ earlier refused to be turned over] showed that she and the administration knew the attack had nothing to do with a video yet continued to lie to the American public about it so her boss could be assured of a win 56 days later.

    • Of course, just to play Devil’s Advocate here and show BOTH mighty parties are corrupt Kabuki Theater; Let us recall Bush the Younger’s whopper about Weapons of Mass Destruction as we invaded Iraq and set-up the stage for our good friends ISIS.

      I still recall Colin Powell’s elegant testimony at the UN all about those fearful weapons that never materialized.

      I would venture that whopper has killed many more people than Benghazi.

      Politics is basically all lies as the reality is all about power. To pretend any of it is otherwise is either to be naive or brainwashed by the 6 media outlets that control our culture.

    Some of it, apples and oranges.

    No WMDs ? Really ? Its long been proven they were there and had been transferred to Syria. And, we in our infinite wisdom, allowed Putin to take charge of removing them. We did get rid of a bad guy in Iraq, and, which, did set the stage for ISIS.
    So, Bush was wrong for going in [ which I agree with] but obama was also wrong for getting out.
    It has to be remembered that every intelligence agency said there were WMDs [ again proven to be true] and congress voted to go to war, including a yes vote by clinton and many other democrats. It wasn’t all on Bush.
