Putin

 Putin has put his nuclear forces on high alert.

People who dealt with him years ago say this is not the same man.  Great.

IU

 IU seems to be fading, and may not get an NCAA berth.

Too bad.

Ukraine

 Russia has invaded Ukraine.

 It could become an extraordinarily dangerous situation for the whole world.  And we have Biden.

UFO

 A pettition calling on the U. S. Government to release all its unclassified UFO video is making the rounds.

We'll see what happens.

Penny

 A penny has been in my living room for about two weeks.  None of my aides have taken it, even though it clearly belongs to one of them.

These are honest people.

Hioops

 I spent the weekend watching college basketball.

It was fun.

GUNSMOKE

 I'm watching GUNSMOKE in the mornings now.

It was a wonderful show.

Weather

 It  looks like the weather may be transitioning into spring a bit early.

That would be good.

Baseball

 Today was supposed to be the first day of baseball spring training.

It's not.  Owners and players are still fussing over a new collective bargaining agreement.

Putin

 I've just started a biography of Vladimir Putin.

Ironic fact-- he honeymooned in Ukraine.

SB LVI

 The Rams won the Super Bowl last night.

It was a rally good championship game.

Mom

 Today would've been Mom's 88th birthday.

She's been gone eight years.

MLB

 It  doesn't look as if baseball spring training will open next week as planned.

Bummer.

COVID

 One of my main aides had COVID last week.

So far, I'm okay.

Again

 Another blown shift.

Supper

 I skipped supper last night.

No aide came until it was too late to eat.

Commanders

 Washington's NFL team is now called the Commanders.

That's okay, but you can bet some smart alecks will call them the Commies.

Storm

 So far, so good with the storm.

Hopefully we can all safely get through one more day/

Storm

 We're having a major winter storm over the next couple days or so.

That's just what everyone needs right now.

Brady

 Tom Brady has retired.

I wonder if Bruce Arians will, too.
