Oh Geesh, here we go again.
Six reports ago I said I was done, the magazine is empty,
the well was dry, the gold rush was over, Big Sam and Goerge had left Nome and Jack and Jill came back empty handed.
But somehow on I go with these dumb reports.
(Is anybody hearing, "We Go On" at the end of Illuminations?)
What is always a challenge to me, is to not repeat some of my
favorite stories and one liners, that's hard to do when you don't have anything "groundbreaking, earthshaking, gutwrenching, or just plain old funny" to write about.
It also doesn't help that the writers are on strike again.
No, I mean those little guys that are in charge of sending out
the synapses for fuh, humorous storty telling.
But we will soldier on. A trip report is more a marathon than a sprint, no two ways about it, and it's always interesting to see who reaches the finish line with me that started at the beginning. Yes, the readers are the marathon contestants, and 26 miles is a long way to read. And I don't want to end up with just the Kenyans, besides, I don't see President Obama posting here.
This is where all of you come in to play an important role, for I can't do this without you.
Your interactions, interjections, interplay, foreplay, (whoops, how'd that get in there,?) well, all of your posts are what's going to help make this worth reading.
You will also be the rest areas, the water stations, along the marathon route, even the parachutes that brought someone much needed help in the Hunger Games, that will
also be you. (shut up Prim)
But I think with all of us, we can have a great time, so as soon as I get my pics and stuff in order, we shall soonly begin.
Soon Lee, wasn't she in MASH?
One last thing;
Yes, it's great we have another G-child on the way, but to be honest, I'm getting concerned; I've always said people shouldn't have more children then they can afford, and that applies to grandparents as well. I think in our case, six should be the limit, after that it's time to start selling them.
We just got the new calender last week, and by the time
we went through it marking down dates in all the pages,
by the time we got to December 31 it was like:
"Man, it was a hell of a year, wasn't it?"
And it doesn't start for another two and a half weeks!
See ya
Yes, I know, this was a demitasse of chapters, but it's the opening one, it doesn't count against me! Neither does that spelling up above in that stupid word as well. According to Spell Chuck, it looks good.
(take it, Ponzi!)
