"I have an idea Margie!"...joel said to his wife...

How about we take the Kids to "SAFARI-LAND" this weekend!

Uncle John made the Mistake of walking Coco in the Park during Deer Hunting Season and...

Coco really dislikes Deer Hunters! I should have forewarned Uncle John...

just a Comment on what Uncle John reports ...

...from when he was in Lancaster for Thanksgiving Day...

• Uncle John reported  that the Lancaster part of the Family were Wonderful &  he had a Great Time! Yet, he felt somewhat intimidated by some...

Uncle John actually commented ..."the bare chested Little kid had more muscle on him than my Personal Trainer! ...so I did keep one eye on him through desert".

Not only is he the Wealthiest Senator but, he has been selected as the Senator with the Best Hair in Congress!

...and to Boot...he also served in Viet Nam & managed to "accumulate"  5 Medals in 86 Days in Country...

• if my Math is correct that is about ONE Medal for every 17.5 days served in Country!
• Not even "Audie Murphy" was able to keep up with that Pace !

Can you Venture a guess as to who this Marvelous Man that (apparently) can also Speak Arabic Is?

I am thinking of Trading in Justin's 1999 Jeep Wrangler for a...

2011 FORD/ HYBRID FOCUS...what do you all think?

• I am headed for a Cross Country Trip to Cali-fo-Nia in April/2011 & MAYBE EVEN HEADING UP NORTH TO ALASKA...
• My Jeep will be 12 Years Old, but I have Willed it to Justin!
• Will my Jeep make it X-Country & BACK?....will I?
• Would Justin rather have a 2011 Ford Focus/stick shift in 2021? when he will be 16?

Or...should I put aside all "pretense" and just Buy the Lamborghini ???

• Final Question...WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LEASING ?

This is a New Discovery for me!...I often go to this "RepuGlican" Web site, but I have never figured out how to publish the varied "musings" on The Blog. Until Now!

• I don't expect a lot of response to this "60 Minute" critique but I sure do enjoy being able to Post it on The Blog!

I guess the Ultimate Poll Question is... "in hindsight"...would you have rather Al Won that 2000 Election or George Won that 2000 Election???

This is a Travesty!

Willie Nelson was caught with 6 ounces of  Mara-juana on his Tour Bus crossing the Border from Mexico to Texas! I am Shocked, shocked...I tell you! 

I have to Say...I did not receive written permission to Post this Photo...

• I did, howsomever, NOT get any Grief from their Publicist when I double clicked my Camera and it was clicking away while Jason & Courtney were spotted "out-on-the town"...

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving Day is a Wonderful Holiday...(holy-day) which is where Holiday is derived from...

• THINGS THAT I OBSERVED/WITNESSED/& ENJOYED SO FAR THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...

1. Yesterday, I dropped off My Sis & Bro-In-Law @ PHL @ 11AM for a 1PM flight to Tampa...Sis called me @ 2:30PM to tell me their plane ran into a Flock of Birds & had to return to PHL...ETA in Tampa has been changed from 5:30PM to somewhere around 11:45PM..."No problem", Sis says...???

• THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO EXPECT WHEN YOU BOOK A FLIGHT ON "ALFRED HITCHCOCK AIRLINES" !!!

2......Brother John shows up today @ 10:30AM on his way to Lancaster for the Holiday. He brings a Quart of Wawa Egg-nog with him...I tell him, "I don't drink Egg-nog"...he says, "neither do I!"...

• BROTHER JOHN TAKES COCO FOR A WALK...RETURNS UN-BITTEN AND ASKS ME FOR SOME EGG-NOG!

3.....Sam calls me & asks if I am running a 5K Today cause he, Kelly & the kids are headed out the door for their annual "Turkey Trot"!

• I check out Face Book! Keelin is up early posting her Holiday Baking Successes 
• Kelly is posting her whereabouts
• Bill Zee is posting his favorite Beer Joints
• & Maura is posting her preference for the Seating Arrangement @ the Family Turkey Meal!

4....I go to Kevin & Cary Mitchell's home for dinner...2 of their 3 daughters are there (with boy friends) & #2 daughter, Allison, totally Freaks Me Out! She works @ the Phila Art Museum & invites me there for a FREE TOUR! along with telling everyone @ the table what their Zodiac Sign means...She was well informed...

• We still have 3 more days 'til Monday...Jason's Turkey Bowl is tomorrow AM
• I need to talk to Michael about the"BMs" Gig @ Shanachie last night
• Coco still wants to attend the Thanxgiving Parade & strut her stuff...

5.....and I am invited to another "after holiday" party tomorrow night...

• and that only takes us to Saturday....!

I believe this was about 40 Years ago...& I believe that is 15 Y.O. Blaze sitting on The Porch in Sea Isle!

This was an Outdoor "Quiet Country" Street Concert!

Michael wants me to "Fine Tune" my Mac Photo Abilities...Quick! So he can Share them w/ Long/Lost but Discovered Friends...

And I am Happily accepting the Challenge!

How Do You Celebrate Turkey Day???

So, Who is the "REAL" DOG WHISPERER? (click! on the Photo)

I am still trying to figure this Mac Out...this is a Test...I have a Library of photos..

...and this is a Nice Photo...(this will tic off a certain Son of mine, but: Click on the Photo to Enlarge)

How I spent my Sunday...

I brought out the "Le Creuset"...the French/Dutch Oven that Sam & Kelly gave us for Christmas last year and then I went to the AcAme!

• I bought Beef, carrots, peas, celery, potatoes, a bottle of Beer, Rye Bread, an Onion, (we had Garlic stuff in a jar in the Kitchen pantry) also Pepper & Salt...along with Virgin Olive Oil, butter & a Secret Ingredient...

And I made myself an Awesome Stew!!!! I am so Proud of Myself!!!

OK...riddle me this...who is the Man-in-the-Middle?

Anyone?...anyone?...anyone?...anyone???...

This is the Funniest Commercial Character on TV!

"the 'creepiness' of the Clown is a Great Line!....& if you keep on clicking it gets Funnier...

I was again @ BJ's today & visited their New Deli!

A pound of American Cheese was $3.49...@ The AcAme it is $5.99 per pound

• BUT! the Big story is that I bought a 1/2 (one half) pound of Swiss Cheese!

Jason introduced me to this Swiss Stuff a few Months ago & it DOES enhance the flavor of a Sandwhich that includes low sodium Tavern Ham!   By the way...if you were a soldier in the Desert of Iraq, separated from your Platoon & had nothing to eat for days on end, what would you do?

• Well Pea....what I would do is...

I would Eat the Sand-which-is-there...

Since the "RAT ATTACK"I have laid out many Poison Pellet "Kits" to Kill Rats...the Pellets look exactly like the Photo.

A couple of times before "I thought" I saw Coco sniffing them, but could never confirm it. We have laid these Pellets out ever since we've  lived here. They also kill mice, & whether you live in the City or the country, the mice show up in the Fall. Well...much to my Chagrin!@#$%^!!!...I actually watched Coco munching on these Pellets tonight! Screamed at her & she ran away!

• She has, obviously, been munching on the Pellets for some time...Question is...

Should I allow Coco to continue Munching,  remove the Pellets or remove Coco???

Air Pollution & where to Move To...

There was a story on Yahoo about the 10 worst cities for air pollution. To my surprise 7 of them were in California. Pittsburg also made the List. Question...

• Is "Air Pollution" more difficult  on your Lungs than Humidity?

By the way, the other two cities were Birmingham, Alabama... &... Phoenix, Arizona.

The winner of WIWO is Wayne...errr...NATE Newton...!

Former Cowboys star Nate Newton has lost 175 pounds & Wayne Newton has lost more than 175,000 WRINKLES!

Someone I know well told me I should post this Johnny Cash song on the Blog! So here it is...

Remember the 60's? When Alyce & Paul moved West...

...and we had to go out there and clean up that Town? I must say, we were like the Earp Brothers' with Doc Dornisch at the Mechanicsburg Corral!

How many of you have been on a Cruise?

Passengers snapped up $20 T-shirts being sold on land with the phrase: "I survived the 2010 Carnival cruise Spamcation."

I am Old, I am Deaf, I am Irrelevant, I am Clueless...

...but I would really like to know what "glee" is all about? I thought it had to do with A "Glee Club". And as far as I know a Glee Club is a group of Voices...what is it?

• By the way, do you know how the Tabernacle Choir got its' Name?

Well, I'll tell you!...Someone took a bunch of inner city Kids with good singing voices, from an inner City Church, on a Tour of Churches' in the Chicago area @ Christmas Time.  It was a very Poor Church, but, Man those Kids could SING! Congregations Loved Them! One Sunday night the Kids had a scheduled 7PM Gig @ a Synagog...the Kids were tired & hungry. Their Conductor asked the Rabi if he had anything on hand that the Kids could snack on...

• the Rabi said, "...we only have some Tab & some apples in the kitchen..." The Kids LOVED the Snack and thus the name...

Tab'nApple Choir...!!!

Want a Photo of a Family Soldier?...here he is ! and ApplePeas Rocks!

Today is Veterans Day. Thank you Pea! Did you know Applebee's gives a free steak dinner to Veterans today? John, that includes Reservists. Just another TIP FROM TIM.

Mystery Missile Launch Seen off Calif. Coast...What the !@#$%^???

I am into Music Stuff, cause Jason loaned me a "Guitar Hero" Book...so I you-tubed "McKendry Music". Is this Eddie?

                                                                
I cannot tell...but it got quite a few comments...if it is not Eddie, what McKendry is it?

How to make a Guitar look Small & Easy to Play..." if it were only that Simple..."

                                                        
Johnny Hiland...

Should I be Competing with the other GrandPop?

This Paul McDowell Guy is beating me every-which-way-but Tuesday! He is out there in California at least 13...I am talking Thirteen times a Year!

• Is there such a thing as Competition among Grand Parents?

Cause I am sure Feeling it!

• (for those that dislike Snarky comments...this Post is meant to be Humorous...)

I like Paul McDowell (sort of):  I like that he loves his Grand Kids

• I just have to get out there & have the Grand-kids Pose with Me! !@#$%^&!  Cause I am feeling the Pressure of competition....

Patricia Dornisch Beck provided this Blog opportunity...

Obviously these two Newlyweds are friends of Patty & Kevin...The Blog Staff just wants to comment that that is "One Lucky Dude" cause that Bride is "A Piece of Work", meaning ..."A Great Looking Bride!"

• Doesn't his Expression look like..."how Lucky am I?"....

Who wants to hit the Football Pinata with a Baseball Bat? Both the Big & Little Kids Wonder...

I have never seen anything like this !

                                                                      

I am now a Movie Buff...

...when I told Sam & Jason I am now Renting a lot of Movies from the Red Box @ my ACME Jason thought I was renting from a Porn site that he says begins w/ RED. Sam had no idea what I was talking about cause Red Box has not yet hit "Whole Foods"!  Or maybe Kelly hasn't informed him, Yet!

Do you Do Red Box?

Who decided to do this Stuff?

Woke up this morning @ 6:10 AM...turn on my Radio and am told it is 5:10 AM!
...went to eat my Lunch, looked at the Clock & learned it was only 11:20 AM!.....@#$%^&*(!!!
...when I went for my 1st  Highball of the Day (@ 5PM)... the Clock tells me I am an Hour Early!...!@#$%^&*(!

I just want to know who came up with this "Spring Forward, Fall Back Crap"? !@#$%^&*(!

Went to dinner w/Sam, Jason & Luke last night...reminded me of Harry

Sam 'n Luke went back to L.A. today. They left telling me they want to see the Above Photo on the Blog when they get home...so here it is...along with a Song by the "Long Ago Gone" but not forgotten, Harry Chapin...

With the Vote for Jerry Brown as Gov. of California...(he was called Gov. Moonbeam back in the 70's!)

...I say to Sam, "your State is Crazy! Why do you live there?" Then I look at pictures of the kids on the Beach in November & understand! I'm hoping Sam or Kelly may run for office some day in California...unless, of course, they are Liberals! (Do Not click the photos for close-ups!)

Did you Vote Today? This Election is more important than you realize!

It is 8:00 PM in the East & they have already declared Rand Paul the new Senator from Kentucky! He is a Republican. He replaces the retiring Jim Bunning. Remember him?
I am pulling an "All Nighter" and have people of all persuasions coming in-and-out of My Election Headquarters! Some are Crying and some are playing Banjos!!!

Giants Win the World Series/Brett Farve gets Nailed/Randy Moss is Dismissed/Let us discuss Ice Skating!
