Just one final 2018 Post

From my old Family photos...


To you & yours...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!



One final photo to end the year on Jason's Birthday...

He was the only Guy cousin that showed up at 
The Family Christmas Party...very cool photo
courtesy of m. heimbuch & crew...

Dec 31, 1977

Happy Birthday Jason! 

It was a Saturday morning. He was born @ 7:47AM. Abington Hospital.

  • His declared name was Dennis
I picked up Sam (who was 4) & we went back to the hospital to see Mom & Dennis.

I asked Sam if he liked the name Dennis & he said, "not really".

So we went to the Hospital Administration office & changed the name to Jason!

You could do that kind of stuff back then...Maryann said that was fine.

Maryann was sorta drugged up. They did that kind of stuff back then...

No social media back then, so the family did not know of the birth until I
showed up in Wycombe that night at Michael's Rockin' New Year's Eve Party!

Thirty Years ago to the day...The Fog Bowl...




And we were at a bar in Arizona at the time celebrating Jason's
11th & could not see a blessed thing!


So this Sunday the Eagles need to beat the Bears
for what happened 30 years ago!

Happy Birthday to you....sweet revenge...

Some recent voters...



Pa has 50 State Senators (can you believe that?) The Entire Country has only 100 Senators!

No wonder we don't know who our State Senator is! Click on this...

https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/mbrList.cfm?body=S

Have you ever heard of any of those people?  Do you even know what District you live in?

I think they prefer it that way...Pa also has 203 House of Representative Members...

The average salary of a Pa Legislator is $87,180 + a $183.00 per diem...

Just Imagine what goes on at the Federal Level?

Saint Nick wins another nail biter!

Would it not be great to see Lily & her Dad in another famous photo?


and Lily would still have no memory of it!

But she would have a photo...

Is the Globe too Large?


or is Bryn too small?


Looks really large to me.

Bad mix...Bible/Politics/Jesus/education




Why did us Catholic kids not learn the bible?

To this day I know very little about it.

But Luis Gutierrez, 13 term congressman
from Illinois sure does!

He is 'retiring' in January by the way...




Luis made a scene...Kirstjen Nielsen tried to respond & Luis walked out!

just a thought...Why give your kids a first name that is difficult to spell or pronounce? I'm just askin'...

We now know to what extent those dastardly Russians went to influence the 2016 election!






The esteemed congressman, Gerry Nadler from NY city,
finally nailed the CEO of Google on the details!



Shocking! The Russians are known for always getting a big bang for their buck!

Eagles hanging in there!


The Pass:



The Catch:


And then the obligatory Step over...


And I can here the Queen song playing...
"We are The Champions"!

When I was young, I thought an Engineer drove a train...I confused a Minor with a Miner...


When me & my friends went on a camping trip to New York,
where the drinking age was 18 our oldest guy was 17 &
he put on a trench coat & fake mustache
and got the 8 of us two six packs!

Sign outside the Bar said
I literally thought it meant they don't serve Minors because 
if minors go in the mine drunk they will cause a cave-in!

My friend was a Minor... he actually put on a hat/trench coat/stasch
and "got served"!

We had 12 bottles of beer between the eight of us 
and we thought we were Partying!




Now I realize that Engineers shape our world.
Ultra rich control it, but they would be nowhere w/o the
Engineers that make it all happen.

And I'm sorta scared for the next generation & what the 
engineers will come up with next...

A Fail Safe Christmas tree light test



While in the process of stringing your tree with lights
take a step back. Go to the other side of the room and

Squint...

This will give you a better perspective on
the equal distribution of your lights!


I give this movie FOUR STARS...





$10 million budget, Grossed close to $100 million.
