New Years Party

 

1. Happy New Year to you and all the readers and contributiors to this blog!

   I appreciate the pictures of our soliders and airmen. Good to note that they are practicing responsible firearm safety in positioning of their trigger fingers. Of the literally thousands of pictures of armed soliders, I can only count a couple in which that was not the case. Most notable was the Time Magazine cover naming the US Solider the “Man of the Year”.

   Bless you all.

2. 359 days until the Visa bill is paid off!!

   Congrats on settling w/an insurance company.  Do you want to adopt me as a tax shelter?

3. If I had the where-with-al I’d send all the troops a bottle of hooch, a steaming hot ham dinner and a King James Bible. I’m sure the towel-heads would appreciate my jesture.

4. Just tell ‘em that it’s rare roast beef. That’s what my ham-eating Jewish friends call it, anyway. Ought to work for the towel-heads.

5. God bless the troops and preserve them from towlies and donks (a not unsurprising alliance of convenience, incidentally).

   As for the New Year, I plan to toast with my usual cherry schnapps and some good big band arrangements.

   Glenn Miller forever!

   “Don’t sit under the apple tree
   With anyone else but me,
   Anyone else but me,
   Anyone else but me.  No! No! No!
   Don’t sit under the apple tree
   With anyone else but me,
   ‘Til I come marching home.”

6. I may yet break down and get either some Irish Mist or some rum - Meyers’s or Limon.

   Hey Tann, sing In the Mood for us.

7. I appreciate the invite, Stin, but I never knew the lyrics.  I have all I can do to play that arrangement, let alone singing it.  Who did a lyricised version of it?  The Andrews Sisters?

   Hope you’re well.  It’s nice to be back to fairly good health myself (finally), and back to this den of iniquity with all you guys (and happy New Year to one of my favorite “Tin Can men").

8. To be honest I was being my usual smar tass self when I made the invitation, thinking that it was solely an instrumental but a little research shows me a couple of lyrics sites have lyrics for the song. No credit to the lyricist, so far. Perhaps I should resolve to curb my smartassedness in the new year.....naaaah, not gonna happen.

   Thanks for the kind words, Tann. I’m well, thank you, albeit with some of the problems that seem come to with the meter running for so long. I am sorry to hear that you were not well. Glad to know that you have recovered, I’m even more pleased to see your return to this den of iniquity. A happy new year to you too.
