February 2nd.....

 .....Bring on the ground hog!

In The Throes Of Nasty January....

...isn't Chicagoland January always nasty...

To-do lists as long as one's arm....mistakes made...rain one day snow the next...

And so it goes....and goes and goes....I am now sixty years oes....I mean sixty years OLD,,,,,,lol

And So This Is Christmas....

...And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over 
If you want it
War is over
Now

Okay it's me again....

The homo sapien world will never be free of "fear."

But today is my mother's eighty-eighth birthday!

And today is the third day of Hanukkah!

Today Is November 30....

 ...What I had previously thought of the year's worst day....but now it is September 1....ask me what I mean....LOL.

There was a major snowstorm yesterday and now the holiday season is upon us....it will last through the first weekend of January 2026.

Better get the boots out....we will need them today!

Today Is November 1st

 The REAL start of winter here in Chicagoland....

My heat is on...I am determined to keep costs down and fight against my depression.....

October Days....

 Trying to enjoy them.

Trying to avoid nervousness.

It is it is it is!

Do we get better as we get older?

Time will tell!

The Movie "Hair"

 I loved it upon first viewing the spring of 1979 at age thirteen!

And now due to streaming I can view it in my own home with subtitles!

Hair (1979) - IMDb

I especially enjoyed the performances of John Savage and Treat Williams; Savage also starred in "The Deer Hunter", another Vietnam War era movie released in the late 1970s.

And as my sister said after viewing the later "National Lampoon's Vacation".....why does Chevy Chase's character bother running after Christie Brinkley when he is married to Beverly Dangelo!
