First and foremost... the Kings completed their improbable playoff run by winning the Stanley Cup in six games. Herewith the most spectacular moment in sports:
SN1 was busy packing last evening but took time out to watch a bit of the game and ALL of the post-game ceremonies. Yeah, it's THAT important.
The other thang I shoulda blogged? The Second Mrs. Pennington celebrated her 56th birthday yesterday. I told her last year... when she turned 55... that she'd always be 19 in my mind's eye. That's still true. The pic on the left is the earliest picture I have of her and she was almost 20 when this photo was taken. Yeah, the pic is shabby, mainly coz it's been in my wallet for 36 years or so (her handwriting on the back: "me, reading one of your letters"). But the subject matter is anything BUT shabby, no?
And yeah... I did send her a "happy birthday" message yesterday.
Excuse me, Buck, but I thought SN1 was just recently PCS to ABQ. Now you tell us he's suddenly TDY back to the 'stans? Did I miss sumpin? How long has he been n ABQ? ('course time flies when you're havin fun talkin' to Monsieur Barbabcourt :) )
ReplyDeleteHe moved the family to ABQ, Virgil. The AF does that these days when you go off to war for a year... moves the fambly to a place of yer choice. Their choice was ABQ.
DeletePS: Congratulations to "MY" Kings! NEVER any doubt. I've ALWAYS had their six! LOL!
ReplyDelete"I've ALWAYS had their six! LOL!"
DeleteEver since those 'Hawks went out in the first round, yes?
I can see why you would carry that photo in your wallet and be crazy about TFMP.
ReplyDeleteShe was... and still is... a beauty, Lou.
DeleteI'm hearing Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias (yes, spellcheck, that is correct ...dammit) singing.
ReplyDeleteWell... not ALL the girls we ever loved. Just one...
DeleteYea, they still have their baby fat at 20...
ReplyDeleteOh, my... YES. Finest kind.
DeleteI hate to mention this, but that girl doesn't look anything like TSMP?? Are you sure this isn't an in-between floozy :-) Maybe on the floor of a phone-in help center?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add the latest 20 year old I fell in love with (pant, pant, woof woof!) Her other videos in black hair are just as bad for holding your hands steady without spilling your beer!

She IS comely.
Delete...that girl doesn't look anything like TSMP??
DeleteIt's her. Trust me. ;-)
The dudes carrying out the trophy are wearing purple ties.
ReplyDeleteUmmmm...GAY!
Just sayin'...
I think the announcers noticed the same thing.
