Galaga would wear your arse out! Some and my buddy decided one guy would shoot and the other moved the ship. The day we hit top score you would have thought we won the lottery!! We celebrated with large sno balls. Best of times.

My uncle was in his class at Cor Jesu, which later merged with St. Aloysius to form Brother Martin, my alma mater. My uncle told me his classmates called Simmons the penguin because he was so fat he waddled when he walked. He was bullied without mercy for 4 years.

Despite the abuse he not only changed himself, he made it his mission in life to help others get healthy and learn to love themselves. Along the way he became a success and was literally the face of physical fitness in the 80s. Despite the money and fame he stayed humble and always kept his focus on helping others. Yeah, he was quirky and he was gay, but so what. He was a good person.

Cor Jesu Is Latin for the heart of Jesus. The core message of Jesus was to love one another. That is how Richard Simmons lived his life. Proud to have him as a member of the alumni of the Brothers of the Scared Heart. RIP.

Replacing bearings is easy. I learned by looking at a couple of videos on YouTube. Takes about a hour. Invest in a bearing puller from harbor freight. Much cheaper than new motor.

The book was a fascinating read. Comanches had the upper hand until the colt, which “tamed the west”. It allowed the rangers to get in close and have 18 to 24 shots as they carried multiple revolvers. The Comanche were the best riders in the west. They could accurately fire multiple arrows while hanging upside down at a full gallop. They could ride hundreds of miles to raid. True badasses who gave no quarter and rightfully so, none was given to them.

In my younger days I could and did on a regular basis. I was a competitive swimmer and trained for 2 hours in morning and 2 in the evening. Swim practice is like solitary confinement. You can’t talk to anyone, all you have is your thoughts. I could listen to the entire first album by Boston in my head. That tells you how old I am.

Never say never.

Gordon is so intent on capturing every dollar he is indoctrinating kids into our sue happy culture. He has stacks of “Super Gordon” coloring books in his lobby next to the video games. He is like Superman stopping an evil 18 wheeler from running over alligators and other swamp critters. Also has plenty of Jesus Swag for the religious folks. You like dogs? Got his miniature poodle on billboards all over BR. Ridiculous.

Defender was the first arcade game I remember playing at the Time Saver on Downs Blvd. in Metairie. That game was hard as hell!!!

Don’t forget The Metro. That was my first time in a bar, 15 years old and got so drunk I was hungover for 2 days. They had killer pizza also.

Heard it while Washington’s coach was interviewed.
