Happy Wednesday Night
December 31st, 2008Enjoy a Nice Glass of Ice Water With Me
I realize everyone already knows I’m a bad person, but let me remind you anyway, by pointing out that I am glad I’m not doing anything for New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve has no religious significance. It does not pay respect to people who died in wars for us. It does not celebrate our independence from England, whereby we gained many rights, including the right to edible food and a full set of teeth. All this holiday does is remind us that we are old and mortal and give us a reason to get blind stinking drunk and stay up all night.
I don’t like staying up late. I am tired of being really drunk. I dislike loud music. I can’t stand having my sleep routine disrupted.
But I sure look forward to tomorrow morning, when the world will be quiet, the drunks will be off the road, and I will be the only person in my neighborhood who feels good.

My original plans involved going to bed early, but a fussy baby has decided that I should be awake to see the new year in. I hope and pray that this new year will bring a continuance and indeed an increase in the blessings that God has bestowed upon you and your family. May the Peace of Christ be always with you.

No religious significance? It is the Feast of the Circumcision.

Hey…Happy New Year. Thanks for letting us into your life and mind.

But nonetheless, Steve, I will raise my glass of ice water to you and wish you all the best for 2009.

Ha, you forgot, “Get off my lawn!”
The morning of Jan. 1 looks like a good time for a bike ride.

…but its the one night a year when a goodly portion of the world joins me in my insomnia. There is that.

Blessing to you in the new year, anyways Steve. And to everyone else, too.

I did the same thing, enjoyed one beer with my meal then watched a show on PBS( hard to believe) called Walking the Bible. Its worth watching if you can.

Happy New Year Steve!

I made a pot of venison chili and had a glass of milk. Yay! Then I kissed my wife of almost 28 years and went to bed.

“It is the Feast of the Circumcision.”

Guess I should have said “no religious significance to 99% of humanity.”

Steve – I stayed home with the laptop, played some online bridge and watched some chick flicks on the boob tube. Mr. Mollo came in now and then to groom himself and deposit a little “love poop” on my shoulder.
No alcohol for me. I’m fortunate that I just don’t like the stuff and – it surely seems responsible for a half a zillion ills in the world.
Happy New Year to you & the birdies and everyone else here!

Happy New Years all.
Fortunately no bullets came to rest near my home.
Who knows why it became popular to shoot into the air on New Years around here?
