"Happy New Year.

You are invited to a "Back to the 60's" party on Sunday, February 8.

I decided that if I was going to turn 60 I was going to do it in style. 60's style.
So, dig into the backs of your closets and find all those wonderful gear and get yourselves down to Laughlin, Nevada.


Hopefully the weather will be warm enough by then to use the pool.
I guess the saddest thing for some will be that there will be no light beer. Didn't exist back then. Sorry about that.


We have four extra bedrooms. Six couches and a lot of floor space. There's also the fifth wheel with a bed and pull-out couch. And there are many hotel rooms to be had in the local casinos.

Help me re-live my youth, and have a lot of fun doing it.

Hope you can make it. Later that week there is the annual Bluegrass festival along the river. Pass the invite on. I don't have everyone's e-mail address."

Email me if you want her phone and email address!

Both Manning's are in.

Roethlisberger's concussed.

McNabb's still alive (old guys rock).

My Guy Favre's out.

So are the Pats.

And there's them other teams I know nothing about. Hell, I don't even know who their QB's are . . . .

Go Giants, Eagles or Colts.

Kick the ball thru the net, onto the backboard and off the ice by gawd!

In a MANLY fashion, too.

I still can't believe there's football in Tennesse, North Carolina or Atlanta. Hell, at least Stabler spent a year or so with the Saints . . . long ago. That's legit.

Harumph.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious, secular, persuasions and or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

Also have a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make the United States great, (not to imply that the U.S. is necessarily greater than any other country), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation of the wisher or wishee.

(Disclaimer: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher who assumes no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)

Hope everybody had a good holiday. Just got back from the up the delta over every drawbridge, Christmas with Mom, Aunt Barbara, Buddy and his family, Julie and her family and assorted farm animals, down the delta over every drawbridge, bike Golden Gate Park and Aquatic Park, Embarcadero, head down the coast Christmas ramble. For those who care..... Johnny C's in Isleton is empty with a 'For Lease' sign on it, there's a new Irish pub, Tiernan's, at Fishermans Wharf, the Hawaiian joint by the Cowboy surf shop in HMB is gone, and my mom has wild turkeys in her new backyard (which is kinda cool!)

Haole Makahiki Hou!

I'll post some pics as soon as I get to a connection that will!
