My favorite Christmas candy is Christmas Tree Nougat. My grandma would have a huge bowl full of it and we would take handfuls of it and go down in her basement and chew it a few times until it got soft and sticky and throw it at the wall and ceiling and laugh.

We would also do experiments with her laundry products in the basement on the holidays. We took my grandpas work thermos one of them old ugly green ones. Filled it up with bleach and some other cleaners I'm not sure what they were i think some of it was powdered detergent. Then my cousin said that mixing bleach with stuff could make poisonous gas and we kinda freaked out and screwed the lid on it and sat it back on the shelf like nothing happened. But then it started rocking and we thought it was going to explode so we throw it as far into the crawl space as we could. Which happened to be right under the living room where all of the adults were. Then we were going to try and get it back out so it didn't explode and kill someone but we didn't want to crawl though dirt and over a bunch of HVAC ducting so we said fuck it. It never did explode so Christmas was not ruined but my grandmas red coat we wiped up spilled bleach with did lulz.

Jesus, AI.  Stanley Thermoses (I assume that's the "ugly green" thermos you and the kids tried to destroy) are one of the few products still around that carry a lifetime guarantee.  Fuck that YETI bullshit.  I have three of the "ugly green" thermii.  Two I bought and the third was my dad's.  Back in my cable days I'd fill one up with hot coffee, one with hot cocoa (I found two thermii of coffee would make me go all Beavis from the caffeine) and the last one I filled up with soup, chili or something for my winter lunch/dinner.  They would keep stuff hot for two days if full.  In the summer I'd fill them up with iced-tea, lemonade or even KoolAid sometimes, kept shit ice cold for a long time too.



I think I used two of them for the GabCast where I was drinking Irish Coffees...  Don't quite remember.

I hope Black Pete or Krampus visited you for your Stanley abuse, if your granpa didn't figure it out and beat you...

A Merry Yule to all creatures great and small- and one or two that are very small.

Manny was born in October, actually.

Linda Ronstadt once told the audience at the Washington Park Rose Garden Amphitheater, in Portland, Orygun, that she likes to sing Christian music, but that she isn't Christian, and that she didn't want any Christians in the audience.  I was crushed.  I felt as though I had been kicked in the stomach.  I tried to rationalize how I might be able to stay.  What I did was leave without even asking for a refund.

I decided to walk home.  It was a gorgeous Summer evening.  As I approached Vista Viaduct, aka Suicide Bridge, there was a well dressed, clean cut young man, standing on the sidewalk at the middle of the bridge, looking over the edge, while crying. 

As a lay counselor, I had been trained to not deal with suicides, and to seek a highly skilled professional.  I carry no cell phone.  Norway proved decades ago that they cause cancer, and I don't care to be tracked and zapped with high voltage from cell towers by Big Brother.  I ran to the apartments adjacent the bridge, and buzzed all the buttons on the intercom until an elderly lady answered.

I told her to call the police.  She didn't say another word to me, so I ran to the nearest pay phone and called.  the dispatcher informed me that the cops were already there.  The old lady must not have wasted any time in calling.  Ironic how things work out sometimes.

Linda Ronstadt used to have a near perfect singing voice, until she contracted Parkinson's. 
Pray she be healed.

Yeah, I loved her early music too but I once saw her totally blow the high note in that duet she did with Aaron Nevile at the grammys.

I had to watch this film thirty-five times before I could admit to myself that it was my favorite movie.  I  couldn't figure out why.  I've seen it many more times since then.  It's still a favorite, but no longer my most, favorite.  What I finally came to understand is that Kill Bill I, takes us deeper and ever deeper, into the mind of Zen.
