Alright!

A family was about to lose a package delivered to their front door, but alas, the would-be thief suffered a case of “drop trou” when he attempted to grab the loot.  Seems he fumbled the package in the course of losing his pants and then made a hasty retreat on his motorcycle.  Doubtless he’ll be apprehended and further embarrassed when the resident displays the video he has of the entire misadventure.

Looks as though “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and mate are now finger pointing at the feds as holding back evidence prior to their trial in the college admissions scandal. The pair have pleaded not guilty to the charges that they paid $500,000 to bribe their daughters’ entrance into USC as phony athletic recruits. How a jury will eventually judge these moneyed marrieds is another matter. The accused face a max penalty of 40 years behind bars which will never happen.

Certainly it was yet another enjoyable evening watching the “Kennedy Center Honors”. That wonderful hall is worthy of the 35^th President. The welcome tributes were well placed. Linda Ronstadt who is bravely fighting Parkinson’s, popular and accomplished Sally Field, the forever marvelous Sesame Street, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and the incomparable Earth, Wind and Fire. One of the presenters for the group was David Foster who took the occasion to talk about himself.  What a surprise. 

Quote of the week goes to President Obama who said, “I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything ... living standards and outcomes,”  I totally agree.

Now from the positive to the other side, seems the Oval Officer is setting more records. The Washington Post reports that the Trump false or misleading claims have skyrocketed to some 15,413 during his 1,055 days in office, an average of nearly 15 every day. The mistruth rate of Trump has more than doubled the total for his three years in office.

Been filling your piggy bank for a very special occasion?  Well, here it is: The chance to buy Gloria Vanderbilt’s family mansion. It’s comprised of seven floors, 18,000 square feet on New York’s posh 72^nd street and carries a $50 million price tag.
