TOOGLE
Welcome To
the newly re-designed Tuchband.com website.
The new format tries to take advantage of people miss-typing Google (the
T is right above the G), is filled with worthless opinions, A.K.A. a blog, and current
family happenings like Facebook or Twitter.
Be sure to tell your friends – I’m thinking this is going to be a big
money maker.
World Events:
The Arab
Spring – I feel bad for the masses and the loss of life after they discover
that a true Democratic government ultimately regresses into political
gridlock. While we’re on the subject of
a dysfunctional Congress – don’t they have enough real problems without getting
involved in Baseballs use of performance enhancing drugs or the threatened NFL
strike?
Dominique
Strauss-Kahn – was I the only one who had this slime ball guilty beyond a
shadow of doubt before going to trial?
Amazing the similarities between this case and Kobe Bryant. Who’d have thought that Cleaning Lady
Uniforms could be such a sexual turn on?
Sports:
Derek
Jeters' 3000th hit was nifty as a homer, but not as cool as Cal
Ripken Jr. when he hit a homer to tie Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game streak and
then followed that up with another homer to break the record.
Colorado Sports:
Not a place
for fans bent on winning teams (unlike Cub fans who seem to enjoy losing). The Nuggets, a bunch of tattooed thugs that
invented the brick shot and Ole defense.
Carmelo Anthony – he belongs in New York – thanks for taking him. A challenge to remaining Nugget fans – name a
player you would hold up to your son as a role model - to strive to be
like. I’m hoping for an NBA strike and
the TV time gets filled with Bowling.
The Avs finished the final two months of the season with a 5-27
record. Tickets will be easy to come
by. The Rockies, toughest pill to
swallow. At the start of the season (10
games over 500 by April) I was 100% certain they would make the playoffs and
50% sure they’d make it to the World Series.
Then the top two starters and ace closer are no show. No offense as the
leadoff hitter leads the league in K’s, there is no number two hitter, and
although the middle of the lineup was solid – most homers are solo blasts cause
no one is on base. Enough, it is too
emotionally draining to dissect this teams failure – 2 games out of last at
this writing. The City’s jewel – the
Bronco’s – I was actually hoping for a strike to avoid the season all
together. $11 million in payroll going
to players not even on the team. We will
be living the Josh McDumbass disaster for years to come. Trade away the good and draft the bad –
lookout out Cincinnati and Kansas City – here comes the latest doomed
franchise. On a positive note – they did
rename the stadium – I’m sure that must count for something.
Show Biz News:
Cupcake Wars
judge Florian Bellanger changes his name to Fruitcake – was tired of folks
saying “Hey Flo – what do you know”
The Biggest
Loser – How can this show be on for 12 seasons?
Aren’t they going to run out of crying fat people?
Millionaire Matchmaker
– Patti Stanger is a 50 year old woman who has never been married and is giving
advice on finding a mate. Wouldn’t we
better off listening to Larry King? He
had 7 wives and isn’t nearly as irritating.
Family News:
Matt &
Samara are expecting twins around Christmas time (2011) – there goes the golf
game. Chris & Tiffany are expecting
their second child in February – a boy.
Carrie is training for her first Marathon in Washington D.C. on October
30th – who’d have thunk it?
Beck and Rinnie start their formal educations at Lake Highland Prep
School and St. Johns Elementary respectfully.
Adam and Vicki had a baby girl on 7-11-11, Lily Victoria Verost. Ali brings home a 30 year old deaf and blind
Maltese to round out the animal kingdom.
