I don't like going to a barbershop or salon for a haircut....so I go to a private residence to have it done. Costs a little more, but its worth it. Besides, there is less and less to cut these days.

How can the Chicago Cubs with a $140 million payroll struggle with the Pittsburgh Pirates? It is time to clean house.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan came out with possibly the funniest line ever in the history of confirmation hearings yesterday when responding to Rep. Lindsay Graham's question about where she is on Christmas Day. Her response, "Like most Jews, I was probably at a Chinese restaurant." Good stuff....but she ain't no Sarah Palin.

Dow down almost 300 points again = the retirement I will never be able to afford is pushed back another year.

A dollop of black Beluga caviar on a crust of baguette with a touch of creme fraiche and red onion is a taste sensation that I will treat myself to once per year. Don't forget the ice cold Absolut martini with blue cheese stuffed olives!

Skoal!

Phillies bats are as hot as the temperature....

Llanerch Country Club in Havertown, PA put on a Member-Guest tournament that was second to none this past week. I played lousy in it, but still had a wonderful time with my host Don Eichman of Alcom Printing.

How are all these expensive restaurants PACKED in a recession? Couldn't get a table at the Capital Grille until 8:45 (had a gift card).

It's almost time for NFL training camp! Oh god how I miss it...

I check the cash/credit price at the gas pump and will risk running on fumes to find the best deal.

See ya....

Sizzling thoughts.....

I'm not an Obama fan, but he is the President of the United States and was right to relieve General McChrystal from command for his comments.

The NEW 76's era begins tonight when they select Evan Turner from Ohio State.

Take some thick eggplant, zucchini, and white onion slices.....brush them with olive oil and dust them with garlic salt.....and then put them on the grill. Outrageously good!

Welcome back Jimmy Rollins!

I wish I could get into the World Cup with the USA playing so well.

Keep it in the shade.....

Apologies....

Sorry for the blog lapse.....been sooooo busy.

Thanks to all who participated in the 2nd annual Leo P Roselli golf tournament this past Monday at Burlington Country Club in Mt. Holly, NJ. We had 96 golfers and raised $ for a college fund for Leo's two young boys.

It's golf week! Thoroughly enjoyed playing in Dick Vermeil's golf outing in Phoenixville, PA yesterday and reacquainting myself with old teammates Harold Carmichael, Bill Bergey, John Bunting, Scott Fitzkee, and several others. Can't quite figure out why they are getting older while I remain exactly the same!

Best summer thirst quenchers.....ice cold Corona with lime, vodka and grapefruit juice, Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Tiger Woods didn't like the greens at Pebble Beach....poor Tiger.

Stay cool.....

Nuggets......

A Texas congressman apologizing to BP?? NO NO NO

Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick shut down the Yankees in Yankee Stadium?? Thats why they play the games.

By the time I pay my homeowners insurance, car insurance, health insurance, and life insurance premiums.....there is not much left to insure.

I had one more birdie yesterday than both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson!

Later.....

Nuggets.....

A Five Guys Cheeseburger with onion and jalapeno is sublime. Add the mountain of crunchy fries with it and you have a lunch that is tough to beat.

The US Open begins today......look for Phil Mickleson and Jim Furyk to contend....and don't be surprised if the ageless Tom Watson recaptures some magic at Pebble Beach.

Sat down with Eagles announcer Merrill Reese recently and interviewed him for the upcoming issue of Jersey Man magazine premiering this fall. A fascinating exchange with a Philadelphia icon.

Say what you want about Lakers Coach Phil Jackson having the best players....if he wins his eleventh NBA championship he gets my vote as the best coach in professional basketball history.

Adios.....

ITEMS.....

I've got a feeling the way Doc Rivers has the Celtics competing and playing defense that they will steal one in LA and become NBA Champions.

President Barack Obama's statement that he's "confident" the gulf region will be back better than it was is certainly a reach. "Hopeful" would have been a more appropriate choice of words. This situation is getting uglier by the hour and may have a permanent effect on the worlds eco-system.

I'm sure the Phillies ticked off the schedule maker when it comes to interleague play. Boston twice and at the Yankees?? Tough deal.

Finally saw Crazy Heart over the weekend on pay per view and I can now see why Jeff Bridges won the Oscar for Best Actor. His portrayal of Bad Blake (who reminded me eerily of Waylon Jennings) was a classic and is a must see for anyone who likes country music....or even if you don't.

Peace out.....
