Verrrry slow going trying to post - hope it's AOL and not the site.

Slow, but we got to page five - but alive, but alive!

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%] [size=8]HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL AND ALSO ALL AND ONE![/size] [/move]

I just finished shlepping 3 (count 'em) SUV-ful loads of donations to Goodwill. Nine 32 gallon bags of toys, clothes, games, etc., PLUS miscellaneous other goodies. My 2007 donations are already in the four figures, go figure! And I always lowball this stuff, per my very conservative CPA (who used to work for the IRS, so he knows his stuff).

Just been going over the kids show script and making notes and starting to try to get some sense of how it should look.

td, thanks for the picture of the sexiest woman on earth. Starts the New Year off right for me.

Always happy to oblige . . .

For the first time ever I didn’t even look at the Rose Parade. I was playing with Sherlock. I did have a nice New Year phone conversation with Penny.

My brother and his children will be at the Rose Game yelling “GO BLUE!”.

Craig and Bryan will miss the game, if it is even broadcast in Bucharest, as they took the train to the beautiful town of Brasov for the day. If Bryan’s luggage didn’t arrive I hope the nice clothing stores are open.

To make a long story short, as the last minute was counting down, I was trying to open the bottle (yes I was using a corkscrew). It exploded. I had closed my eyes because I was afraid of the cork and it's a good thing I did. Glass flew and when I opened my eyes, I had blood everywhere.

I'm alright. A few cuts but at first I had thought that I would have have to go to the ER.

2006 was out to get me--right down to the last minute and am I glad that year is OVER!

Oh, DANISE, how awful. So glad it wasn't worse.

I think I'm degroggified so maybe I'll now get joggified.

Good afternoon, fellow Dear Readers. I was off this morning on a wild swan chase. I didn't see it.

Danise, I am glad you are ok. This next year HAS to be a better one for you!

Jeanne · « **Reply #132 on:** January 01, 2007, 11:16:11 AM »

This post is for BK, just to keep him happy.

Jeanne · « **Reply #133 on:** January 01, 2007, 11:17:23 AM »

I'm not having any trouble posting. Maybe your problems are just AOL, BK.

Time to head to work. (Yep, some of us do things like that on days like today.)

Ginny · « **Reply #135 on:** January 01, 2007, 12:18:32 PM »

Jane - thank you for posting the exquisite double rainbow photo! I'm going to send it to my mother, if that's OK with you.

bk · « **Reply #136 on:** January 01, 2007, 12:25:57 PM »

Back from the jog. I'm in book mode so jog goes fast because there are lots of things swimming around in my head.

bk · « **Reply #137 on:** January 01, 2007, 12:26:25 PM »

Now, where in tarnation IS everyone? You'd think it was the first day of the New Year. Now, whatever shall I watch?

bk · « **Reply #138 on:** January 01, 2007, 12:26:51 PM »

I think some nice New Year's cheese is called for - perhaps The Awakening with Mr. Charlton Heston.

DR Elmore - you will be glad to know that I've just designated Jane Glover's Mozart's Women as the February selection for my book group.

Glad you enjoyed it. It rained most of our way home from Portland, and then we were stuck in traffic while the cars double parked on the freeway to put chains on to go over the pass (we fortunately are the exit before the pass). Until the rainbows appeared we were wishing we had left the freeway & the traffic one exit sooner.

I'll be sitting in our family room doing the same thing! This being the 35th anniversary of my being there in person, I've dragged out my photos and memorabilia, including my ticket stub. We paid $10 a piece to attend the game in 1972. Bet it costs a whole lot more than that now!

It's a wonderful book! You'll have to listen to some of his music that the ladies were involved in at the same time.

Brother Dan arrived and we went out to breakfast with mom...then took her to the grocery store...now I am pooped...how is that family can wear you out so fast?

Please let me know if you think I should choose it for my next discussion book.

And having Dan come and visit...it reminds me of just how backwoods Medford can be...the breakfast subjects from my little brother included:

Why can't I find any toys that speak English instead of Spanish.

All Arabs and other non-whites are terrorists.

Why don't we just drop a bomb on North Korea.

I only like country music.

...and that old standby...

Why don't these immigrants learn to speak English

...well, you get the point.

Oh, I forgot that Pres. Bush is a national hero, but Clinton was as crooked as they come.

I really do love my family, but sometimes I have difficulty believing my ears.

Ginny I believe my niece’s alumni tickets were $150, unless that was the cost for the non-alumni tickets for the rest of the family members.

Sorry, if you lived in L.A. you might be making the same complaint

Instead of staying in Medford next time come to Ashland, it's very different here

Jane, I wasn't fishing for that info, but sure do find it interesting! The last home game we attended in Ann Arbor was 4 years ago and those tix were $35 each.
