While I sympathize with your problem, those boys who want to date your granddaughter need some love and guidance because they have not been habilitated. But if a kid shows up with a flat top haircut, run him off with a shotgun because he only has one thing on his mind.
So you solar calendar freaks had your bit of fun on your so-called New Years Eve. For us lunar calendar types though, we have to wait untill February 14th to celebrate the real new year, the year of the tiger with fire crackers. egg rolls and rice dumplings.
I don't remember even havibg a house key growing up in Rocky River. And now even though everyone locks their doors and has security systems, I frequently leave my garage wide open and forget to lock my doors. There are really very few break-ins in my suburban master planned neighborhood and I have nothing worth stealing anyway. High crime rates are mostly in inner city neighborhoods anyway. Those places seem so foreign to me that when I make a wrong turn and enter them, they resemble foreign countries or even other planets.
I never lost my car keys because they were always in the car. Not living in a planned neighborhood like Fred I lock my house and cars now. The Goverment is stealing everything now anyway, so we don't have much for the bad guys. I guess stealing is a bad word, I should have said Taxing.
As long as the government is stealing all your stuff then you shouldn't mind if Ellen and I take your car for a joy ride.
GLOBAL WARMING UPDATE
Now that Al Gore's and the greenie's lies have been exposed in the recent CLIMATEGATE scandal they are now saying that the oceans are becoming more acidic. Here is the truth:
I get to drive, Ellen rides shotgun, Bruce and Randy get the back seat. We want to presemt a good image with the best looking people up front. After we lay some rubber strips and turf the high school we will cruise Beardens and a few other places. Don't forget your fake names if we get stopped. Write it on your palm in ink if necessary like we used to do on tests.
After dark we will drive down to the valley and shine the brights on some parked cars and laugh at kids scambling to put their clothes back on. Then with Ellen driving and the rest of us in the trunl we'll get in cheap to the drive-in movie. So, Randy make sure those rear tires are pumped up so we don't drag the rear end on the way in.
Yes we still have drive inns. We need to call Houston,No back seat the dog rides there. Car was made for five people but we have all gained a little weight since then. You want the # for Houston?
One of the goals in my life was to be "the last one standing" in a game of dodgeball. I never achieved that in high school but I am looking forwatd to our 50th reunion for a knock down drag out game of dodgeball. I know that many of you have gotton older and lost your edge, but I have stayed in perfect condition and have been been practicing every day in my back yard since June 13, 1963 waiting for my chance at revenge. I am ready to kick ass and take names when next we meet for our final game.
Pool would be better. some of us are proud of our bodies and don't want to over tax them. The drive in is still on Lorain rd but they built a huge sports plex behind Weber Racing and there is a light issue. The lights from the sports plex intrude on the movie screens and there is a huge battle going on. Bingo would be good!
How about a game of "War"? I'm really good at it. I played a lot of "Bridge" in college and even played in tournaments. The last time I played in one though, I was one of the youngest players. Bridge is dying, I think because of video games and the internet.
I played a lot of "Go" when I was in the Far East. It's a board game with black and white stones. It's reputed to be the most difficult game in the world. Japanese warlords played games that lasted for days. General Giap used strategies from the game against General Westmorland in Vietnam.
For anyone thats interested there is a wrestling meet at River Thursday the 7th at 6;30 pm. Gary Carlise and I are going if its not canceled due to snow.
