It's been

  Standard and official Policy to mark, Celebrate, and only Observe Success, as it's stated " Only Success Should be celebrated".......... Having been out of coaching for around 8 years, I helped Coach DM pick his Basketball Team.  I didn't realize how difficult it is to cut So many Kids on the fence, and basically telling them they can't do what they love doing, Waaaaa............Sometimes it's perplexing   how Naive and Stupid I can be when it comes to Women. A friend Suggested,   to ask the girl I've been seeing around Seven Dates What she likes about me? The Only things I've come up with that I'm always on time, and always make Plans. I Guess, I'll find out Thursday When I ask  ..... Not to sound Chauvinistic, But with Selichot Mania upon us. I'm just not the biggest fan of hearing the Amazing Sarit Hadadd or any other woman perform them in their concerts......... 42 years to the Yom Kippur war, Still puzzles me how the Egyptians and Syrians think they won, no question they covered the spread but won? Really???........

L'Shana

 Tova, because of my Grandmother Rose levine  will always be  my Favorite Jewish New years Greeting....... I usually repeat the Same New Years Lines from previous the first being Said my Szymon Persky " We need more Solutions, Not Resolutions", and the infamous Russian proverb I picked up " one who does not ring in the new year celebrating, Will not be celebrating the entire year". It's unclear Weather that applies for Rosh Hashana... I Quoted former MTA Chief Roger Toussant and predicted that " Tings do not look good " for 5775, and it was not specifically a bad year, but one can not call it a good one, Especially with the  treacherous Iran Nuclear Deal. A Prediction for 5776 and I quote the Old Israeli folk Song Bashana Habaa  " Just wait and see, Just wait and see how good it will be"
 

A Short Story

 told to me by Sidny Arthur Speilfogel:

On July 20, 1969, commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”, were televised to Earth and heard by millions. But just before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark:

“Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.” Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the “Good luck Mr. Gorsky” statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor’s yard by the bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”

Preparing

for the " You're a really great guy " speech from WBG, has made me a lil anxious, Seems like I almost want to do it myself, and be done with it. It's been Five really great Dates and we are Scheduled for a sixth, and every time I see her I feel better and better, and every time I don't, worse and worse......... Confirming for Date 6, She was really looking fore ward, though it was unclear weather to see me or simply take her mind off things. Didn't really matter, She was still going out with me .The unthinkable almost happened; I was almost late. Thanks to some Slick Driving, I managed to Pull up to her Apt with under a minute to spare. Heading downtown, I really wanted to put things out there, But that could wait till after we broke bread at the New Asia de Cuba Downtown. She evened up the score, by surprising me this time with a Birthday cake Desert, and the evening culminated with a wine glass breaking at the table, Jokingly I alluded i am supposed to stomp on it and declare my Yearning for Jerusalem, Not one of my better jokes.. We spoke Status, and I  shared my concern that I maybe making feel uncomfortable, and understood that we are at Different Levels with me wanting her a lot more than she wanting me. The Status Quo has remained, maybe were on for next week? or maybe not? .........

Especially Disturbing

 to walk to my car this morning to find it ransacked. Thankfully the lock was in tact and the windows not smashed. My guess I just forgot to lock the car, Two things Disturbed me. Why wouldn't the Idiot thief Check the trunk, of which i had an array of samples and a Box to deliver, and the second on a more personal Level, What the hell was I doing with Eleven  TD Bank Pens, Made me feel like a kleptomaniac. I was grateful that their didn't seem to be any Damage to the car, and they left me my ever so important Back Scratchier. The only thing noticeably missing was an unopened never used  Navigation System.  I hope they make good use of it  finding their way........."Our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized." Our worst fears have been realized tonight. They have now said there were 11 hostages; two were killed in their rooms yesterday morning, nine were killed at the airport tonight. They're all gone.- Jim Mckay 090572 Munich...... Operation Orchard 090707, the little known and audacious operation to take out the North Korean made Syrian Dry and Desert lands Center, also known as their Nuclear Reactor..........Update with WBG  in One word Still Good and in two Not good........ the good news is I do get to take her out again so hopefully the Status Can be Upgraded.........
