Merry Christmas

Chistmas wishes.... Peace now...

Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree Alfie
He believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year

To him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a special story, it was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way

You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you

So when you�re at Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I�d ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too




War is Over - and so This is Christmas

............on the side of the rebel Jesus.............

But please forgive me if I seem
To take the tone of judgement
For Ive no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment
In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
We have need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure
And I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus.

No CARDS

Hello in THERE !................................ RATS,,,,,,,

No one sent me a Christmas card today....

I almost wish there weren't a Holiday Season.

I know nobody like me ,,,,why do we have to have a Holiday Season to Emphasize it.,..

From Super Genius to Blithering Idiot

There are just fewer times these days that I have any good Ideas at all , let alone flashes of that olde brilliance. NOT that I think I am Brilliant,,, but there were times that I had good idears and we will now take that segway into one of our main topics for today

... tis the Season to be shopping,,, and I - like most Men - if not most people, HATE WAITING IN LINE !!! I came up with what I will call the "Sears Strategy". It is simple and in fact BRILLIANT !.. When I used to Christmas shop at the Mall,,Sears was a big choice , as I could purchase Everything for Everyone at the Sears store,, (they stopped callin it Sears and Roebuck - I dunno why , but that's al whole other topic) anyway,,, the Sears Strategy ................



Sears has - or at least HAD - a policy that you had to buy something from that department IF you wanted to pay for things at that Register,, Example: Toys must be Paid for at the TOY register, where the G.D. Line was 20 people deep, and you needed to wait 1/2 - 1 hour for the privilege of buying those Wonderful Toys ! NOW , employ the SEARS STRATEGY - take ALL your stuff and look for a cashier at the Jewelery , or perfume counter, where there were NO CUSTOMERS , look for the cheapest earring, or perfume,,, FIVE bucks or less is the key ,,, and then VIOLA ! you can pay for everything at the Jewelery or Perfume Register - there-by eliminating the need to wait with everyone else at the TOY register !.. and this strategy was modified just last night at WallyMarts. Had toys, clothes, shoes, and a Basketball, and Soccer Ball. The registers in the front of the store were - no exaggeration - 20 people (ah Cooters) deep !! WE went to the Sporting goods Department , and WHOOSH ................. NO ONE IN LINE !!!! Brilliant !!! Outta there in 10 minutes !!



Blithering IDIOT

As I get older,,, I notice that I have trouble with my "short" term memory.

* Passwords that I use everyday /several times a day/can't remember what they are.
* I find myself in the Garage - went to get something - and have no Idea WHAT !
I have to retrace my steps to figure out what it was I needed.
* I put my lock on a locker at the GYM, & 2 hours later - can't "F%^&*ING" find it!
* I speak to someone,, & need to go followup - but by the time I get to my office - whoosh - I completely forget it,,, only reminded when they call and ask - what the hell??

So , I wonder , is this a function of Age, Heredity, or just so much stuff spinning around up there that not everything sticks , and my mind just plain moves on to whatever else I am thinkin about,,,,

Get Ready .....

Let's start with the Chieftains !This is from "Bells of Dublin" my fav Christmas CD,,, the Muppet's with John Denver and Jorma Kaukonen's Christmas" are next in line,....
