Colorado Health Insurance

-

Coach Prime flu after escaping Colorado State 16 September. I'm still sneezing and coughing from anxiety. Bring out the handkerchiefs. Oops! stores don't sell them anymore.

Health insurance policies. You know how they work. You make contributions every month but they refuse to pay when you get sick from something that’s not in the policy.

That’s why Coach Prime disciples and detractors should put prime flu in their health policy. Why? Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes escaped the shovel last night. Jay Norvell, Colorado State football Head Coach thought he would do something novel, shovel out Coach Prime’s shine, by hurting Travis Hunter.

Besides that dirty trick, Norvell did his homework. I’ll give him that. He  under-studied every CU assistant coach. He has been in the business for some time, so he must be on first name basis with some of them and knows their game plays. That gave me the flu, the Coach Prime flu. I was worried about Game 3. Deion Sanders had to win. The shovel made the first move and palpitations started. When Travis Hunter went down, my heart warned me it could not take the stress. It was war on the Rocky Mountain. I became scared for Coach Prime. This is one game he had to win. I can handle any loss after that, but Game 3 was personal on every level.

That’s why I must put Coach Prime flu in my health insurance. Quite frankly, I have no business getting worried about a game, a mere game. I’m much better today, but I haven’t recovered from the anxiety caused by the question what if? What if, what? Deion Sanders does not have that question in his vocabulary.

Therefore, it’s either I’m fully behind him or the proverbial, if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. I must stay right here, brave the Coach Prime flu every time Colorado Buffaloes put on their helmets. I don’t have a choice. It’s personal to me, my existence. That’s why we still here. Jay Norvell, you wanted to shovel us out? I don’t think so.

Now, bring out the Kleenex for ‘prime’ flu sufferers.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
