It really is no secret. I haven't dropped out yet. I have no excuses or exceptions on why I have not carried on with the game. Sure, I got a bit carried away with a coffeepot full of white wine and a lamp shade, but that is another story. Okay, now let me just unveil a game or two with you. The winning formula is very simple. Just take a crack at it.

Okay then, let me tap into something else now. Maybe you know it? Maybe you don't?
All you need is some of that good cheer you had in you a few weeks ago to play.
How about it? Can you go far on it?

Where do I start? There is no mistaking him. Too much of a good thing back then? Ever put a thought of any kind to him? Early on, it had the wrong effect on him [success]. He waited around till the Eighties to continue where he had left off. But something was missing from his previous days. Still, he was able to keep himself working with consistency. Some good. Some not so good [years]. He never stopped. But there were many challenges along the way. One was regarding to styles. Styles that were changing as fast as today's. It was of concern to not only him. It was not what you would want at the time. An unwanted holiday. Hard to match his previous years. Early in his life in NYC, he spent his time being a cadet. A cadet that couldn't help himself. He was unable to stop from doing things that just were too out of the ordinary for a professional. Still, he felt something with his desires to be interacting on a stage, instead of being over powered with the wrong career move. He tried to see another side to what his parents wanted him to do. Being an ambitious officer. But the effect of having spent time on the other side was more appealing than that profession being talked of now. Pursuing his dream was largely what he wanted. His parents were trying to ignore what he really wanted. But they failed once he grew his hair. Besides, he had never seen or heard of such disregard for those that were long-term, working for NYC, trying to enforce regulations on those that opposed the uniform. He never got it during that period in his life. To have a continuous job that some of the public didn't respect. He never demonstrated the willingness for it. The reality is, he would lead himself over to the west coast of California, where he would become a name in no time. But due to extreme excess, he always came up short till the early '90s. This is when he reemerged again for a short time, only to be swiped away due to the arrival of new trends. It wasn't preventable with most that followed that time. Turns out, this is how it is. You and I know it. In '80 it was common knowledge, he had a serious body cramming, failing miserably with a chemical intake by accident. I don't think something like that was done out of spite. But due to it, it caused him to bend down, hunched over, for over ten hours in a very difficult position. In truth, it really cramped his lower leg. It would be some time, as he was in no condition to manage. A short time later though, I was surprised to see him with a cane. He got himself up, literally holding the walking stick in place, waking up after that bad experience with a lot of things to think of then. After all, it did bodily harm to him, as well at that time. He made it on himself to clean himself up, which he did, with a full recovery. He just wanted to get back what he had. As a result of his determination, he has remained consistent since then. Getting back to the way his friend Bill would have wanted. After all, it was Bill who had lent his hand. Remember Bill? *E*

Disco Demolition Night--one of baseball's most ill-conceived promotions--caused a rare MLB forfeit on July 12, 1979. It occurred at Chicago's Comiskey Park between games of a Thursday doubleheader between the hometown White Sox and visiting Detroit Tigers. Popular Chicago disc jockey Steve Dahl had been fired from radio station WDAI when he mentioned--on the air--that he listened to the album-oriented rock of rival station WLUP rather than his own station's fare--predominantly disco tunes. Dahl was subsequently hired by WLUP, known locally as "The Loop."
The 1979 White Sox were a mediocre team struggling to attract decent crowds, so the team's management was willing to try anything to try to draw new fans. Dahl, in conjunction with Mike Veeck (son of then-White Sox owner Bill Veeck), devised a promotion: Anyone who brought a disco record to the ballpark would be admitted for just 98 cents. The records would be collected, placed in a large crate in center field, and blown up by Dahl between games. Dahl hyped the event on The Loop, hoping that 12,000 people might show up--double the typical Thursday attendance at Comiskey Park. The turnout exceeded all expectations. An estimated 90,000 people turned up at the 52,000-seat stadium. When the box office stopped selling tickets, thousands of people still got in by climbing over walls.
It was an atypical baseball crowd to be sure. Broadcasters Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall commented on the "strange people" wandering throughout the stands. When the crate was filled with records, stadium staff stopped collecting them. The "fans" who still had records soon realized they were shaped like frisbees. A few began to throw records from the stands during the game.
After the first game, a 4-1 Tigers' win, Dahl, clad in army fatigues and a helmet, proceeded to center field. The crate containing the records was rigged with explosives. Dahl led the crowd in chants of "Disco sucks!" prior to triggering the explosion. When detonated, the explosives tore a hole in the outfield grass and a small fire began burning. Dahl triumphantly circled the warning track in a jeep before leaving the field.
Once Dahl left, the White Sox started warming up for the second game, but thousands of fans rushed the field. Some lit more fires. Others pulled down the batting cage and wrecked it. Bases were stolen and chunks of the outfield grass were ripped away. Most trespassers wandered around aimlessly, though a number of participants burned banners, sat on the grass, ran from security and police and threw records into the air. Veeck and Caray used the PA system to implore the fans to vacate the field, but to no avail. Eventually the field was cleared by police in riot gear. Six people reported minor injuries and 39 were arrested for disorderly conduct. The field was so badly torn up that the umpires decided the second game could not be played. The next day American League president Lee MacPhail forfeited the second game to the Tigers on the grounds that the White Sox had not provided acceptable playing conditions. For the rest of the season, fielders complained about Comiskey Park's playing surface being substandard. No AL game has been forfeited since that night.

You know, it is difficult to do something when you don't have the time, that is, until this time now.
I have been hooked up to a electroencephalograph machine all night, so I can get myself motivated with you with playin' a undesired mismatched game of the mind.
It is possible, you may even know it already. With you, it always simply amazes me how seemingly some of you know it or don't. Sure, I am not misleading you here at it either. Or am I?
Okay, let's get to the real action - shall we?

Okay, I have added another misplaced moment that you may of remembered last year. The only reason you can't remember it now is, I am the source of your confusion now with a developmental time for you that was way-up for discussion down the street, pass the doughnut shop you sporadically visited on the way to Burger King. Remember, for a time, it disrupted your dinnertime. Yes, this all takes practical intelligence to do. That is something that you got with you now. No, not the meals! Playing the picture game. Give it a try.
Know it?

Florence Patterson Green never saw the front line. Her war was spent serving food, not dodging bullets.
But Green, who died on February 4, 2012, aged 110, was the last known surviving veteran of World War I. She was serving with the Women's Royal Air Force as a waitress at an air base in eastern England when the guns fell silent on November 11, 1918.
It was not until 2010 that she was officially recognized as a veteran after a researcher found her service record in Britain's National Archives.
Green died Saturday at the Briar House Care Home in King's Lynn, eastern England, two weeks before her 111th birthday, the home said.
Retired Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye, director-general of the RAF Museum, said it was fitting that the last survivor of the first global war was someone who had served on the home front.
"In a way, that the last veteran should be a lady and someone who served on the home front is something that reminds me that warfare is not confined to the trenches," Dye said.
"It reminds us of the Great War, and all warfare since then has been something that involved everyone. It's a collective experience ... Sadly, whether you are in New York, in London, or in Kandahar, warfare touches all of our lives."
She was born Florence Beatrice Patterson in London on February 19, 1901, and joined the newly formed Women's Royal Air Force in September 1918 at the age of 17.
The service trained women to work as mechanics, drivers and in other jobs to free men for front-line duty. Green went to work as a steward in the officers' mess, first at the Narborough airdrome and then at RAF Marham in eastern England, and was serving there when the war ended. The photo below was taken in February 2010 at a celebration of Florence's 109th birthday.

Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, has died at the age of 48 on Saturday, February 11, 2012. The singer was reportedly found in a bathtub in her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's bestselling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.
Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she starred in hits like The Bodyguard and Waiting to Exhale.
She had the he perfect voice, and the perfect image: a gorgeous singer who had sex appeal but was never overtly sexual, who maintained perfect poise.

Jill Kinmont Boothe (February 16, 1936 – February 9, 2012) was a former alpine ski racer who competed in the mid-1950s.
Jill Kinmont grew up in Bishop, California, skiing and racing at Mammoth Mountain. In early 1955, she was the reigning U.S. national champion in the slalom, and a top prospect for a medal at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy. While competing in the downhill at the Snow Cup in Alta, Utah on January 30, 1955, she suffered a near-fatal accident which resulted in paralysis from the neck down. It ironically occurred the same week that Kinmont, about two weeks shy of her 19th birthday, was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated dated January 31, 1955.
After her rehabilitation, she went on to graduate from UCLA with a B.A. in German and earned a teaching credentials from the University of Washington. She had a long career as an educator first in Washington and then in Beverly Hills, California. She taught special education at Bishop Union Elementary School from 1975 to 1996 in her hometown of Bishop. She was an accomplished painter who had many exhibitions of her artwork.
Kinmont was the subject of two movies: The Other Side of the Mountain in 1975, and The Other Side of the Mountain Part 2 in 1978. Both films starred Marilyn Hassett as Kinmont.
Jill married trucker John Boothe in November 1976, and they made their home in Bishop until her death.
