Yup. The foursome of Tim, Charlie Nikitopoulus, Luke Vanassult, and Tom Kaplan went 2 under at the Mohansic Golf Course and won the tournament. Yay! AND Tim won the longest drive contest - 270 yards - which got him a $100 gift certificate at the Course store. Double Yay!
This is a follow up to this statement she recently made (yes she did say it):
“There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman’s body.”
From the BB
The incumbent governor's remarks are already being praised as "so brave" and "super scientific" by members of the body positivity movement who have not yet succumbed to diabetes and heart disease.
"As Presidential candidate for the Democratic party, I vow to fight the lobbyists of Big Bathroom Scales and their attempts to control our beautiful bodies," said Abrams while inhaling a tower of strawberry-sprinkled bear claws.
A representative for the Bathroom Scale industry issued a statement that read, "We're so busted, dang it. President-elect Stacey Abrams caught us red-handed. We solemnly vow henceforth to do better to hide our secretive desires to control women's bodies."
Remember Bizarro World in DC comics? Below is a column by Megan McCain (I like her, I liked her father, etc) about the weird teacher in Ontario, Canada. Perhaps you've already heard about this, although not if your source of news is NPR or CNN...
In fact, Ontario’s Canada’s Halton District School Board school board chair, Margo Shuttleworth, defended the teacher, saying she began identifying as female last year.
In a recent letter to parents, the school implied it was illegal to say the big fake boobs and skimpy clothing were at all inappropriate, saying the teacher has a right to identify as transgender. ‘Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code,’ the letter read.
Here's the point -
Sure, teachers have a right to be respected, but so do students. In a civilized society, it’s understood that one person’s rights end when they begin to impede on another person’s rights.
Can we really say that this teacher’s intentionally distracting attire is not detrimental to the student’s education? Of course not.
This is the first time I've ever had an opening like this. Took 90 seconds to finish - there are plenty of words ending RATE. I could have been unlucky and not gotten it.
All Rise!
It was one of those nights, the kind that reminds you of the fundamental rule of the last baseball century: There are the Yankees, and then there is everyone else. From sepia tones to high definition, no other team does history, then or now, with such grandeur and resonance.
In the ninth inning on Tuesday in the Bronx, Aaron Judge became the third player in American League history to reach 60 home runs in a season. The others were also Yankees: Babe Ruth in 1927 and Roger Maris in 1961, and both had slugging teammates pushing them along. For Ruth it was Lou Gehrig, for Maris it was Mickey Mantle.
So what else could have followed Judge’s 60th homer but a game-ending grand slam by Giancarlo Stanton, later that inning, to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-8? No other active slugger can relate to Judge quite like Stanton, who once belted 59 homers in a season for Miami. It had to be Stanton to cap a night like this, with a screaming low liner into the left-field seats.
Some thoughts from the BB. As you no doubt know, the Vineyard people already have handled the problem with the second "way". Got the National Guard in and packed 'em off to Cape Cod military base.
And it will be good! I'm sure Karen would love to see you - even if you're not local!
"Defending oneself is not only licit, but it also is an expression of love for one's homeland. Those who do not defend themselves, those who do not defend something, do not love it, instead those who defend, love."
But the Pope emphasizes that dialogue must be done, even if "it stinks."
So having bloviated about our travel day France - Wednesday the 24th to Monday the 29th. which started Wednesday the 24th and ended Thursday the 25th in Piriac sur Mer , we had all day Friday until the pre-wedding dinner Friday evening. So in the morning we walked through Piriac and down to the harbor.
From our window Brigid checking things out while my shirt tries to de-wrinkle.
Here is what Brigid is looking at -
so then we took off on a walk.
Other side of the bay - probably 4 -5 miles away - wind farm!
You can tell from the sun in the east, it's still fairly early in the morning.
Wow. I need to iron my face. But at least no nose hairs ...
Off the waterfront and into town
St. Pierre Church where the wedding is held the next day. See the sailing ship hanging from the roof? There have been a series of Churches on this spot since 570! The current one dates from 1787.
I was the only person wearing a FRANCE hat. But these hats were all over France!
BUT THERE'S MORE!
Then for the afternoon we looked on the map and decided to take a drive to Le Croisic, although we'd no idea what the place was like. And we made a detour on the way to Hotel Barrieire L'Hermitage, where that evening's drinks and dinner was to be held. It turned out to be well worth the drive - Le Croisic, very cool place, further south down the coast at the end of a short peninsula. And historic re: WW 2 - see my note at the bottom. But will limit to three pictures.
There was a big art exhibit going on in there (very pricey) - we visited but no pictures allowed.See Brigid?
Ok four pictures. I fibbed.
Five. Do you see Brigid?
NOTE
A few miles south from Le Croisic a very famous WW II British commando raid took place in March, 1942 - St Nazaire Raid . Very successful, but with very high commando casualties. They came by sea and had to slip past a German radar site in Le Croisic, which they succeeded in doing.
Back on the right track after this - Friday's wordle - my third miss!
Nice and well attended event held on September ninth.
The Knights acknowledge that there are other worthy professionals and volunteers that deserve recognition for their work and sacrifice that we have not specifically included today. Our social workers and mental health professionals, delivery workers, our clergy our shop workers to name a few all deserve special recognition. For many the challenges they face will only increase as we transition to a post pandemic world.

Oh well. I never heard of the word PARER. My first miss was on the word FORAY months ago and the second one was on August ninth - PATTY. Patty is also a name and they generally don't use names. Not too shabby though since I've been doing wordle virtually every day since March.
I'd like a t-shirt with the corrected Vineyard sign partway through this monologue. Nothing wrong with a little tent city action on Martha's Vineyard, paid for by the multi-millionaires who have vacation compounds there. Like this picture which I took in January 2021, in Washington DC. A few blocks from Union Station and from the Supreme Court. Tucker is below the picture.
This was a tough one - I really got lucky on my ALPHA pick/guess.
Too funny. From ABC. Maybe they moved because Newsom helped his mother commit suicide and they don't want to share that fate?
A Brigid poster production. The Blaze opens to the public later this week and my posting this was embargoed (by Brigid...) until it was put up in a couple of places in Croton. And it's a submission to her photographer's group.
