~HAPPY HOLIDAYS~

We had a great holiday "holy day" here in Independence Oregon. The house was filled with folks spanning four generations, of which I am the Great Grandfather. We ain't got a barrell of money, but had a good time. Turkey..taters...dressing...succotash...cranberries...olives...pie...
My grandson played guitar, and my son was playing the base. My great granddaughter showed us how to play the harmonica...She is two, and was really cutting some notes.
Wish that I had a video of that one. Videos are my thing...plenty high tech for me. I get them at garage sales, and sell them the same way, or trade them to somebody that hasn't seen them. Do you know anyone who hasn't seen "As Good As It Gets"?
One of my favorite videos is the one of George Bush trying to escape from a press interview. He has always had problems in any situation that is not a photo-op, with an audience of his choosing. Or with an interviewer who ask's any questions that haven't been rehearsed.

This is from his recent visiit to China...

Reporter's diary

His earlier meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao did not permit media questions.

Mr Bush answered a range of questions before one reporter said: "Respectfully, sir - you know we're always respectful - in your statement this morning with President Hu, you seemed a little off your game, you seemed to hurry through your statement. There was a lack of enthusiasm. Was something bothering you?"

The president answered: "Have you ever heard of jet lag? Well, good. That answers your question."

The reporter asked for a follow-up question but the president then thanked the attending journalists and said "No you may not" as he walked away.

He strode from the lectern to the door, trying both handles and then breaking into a laugh.

An aide escorted him to the correct exit and on to dinner at the Great Hall of the People.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. This antique bottle proclaims that this is a holiday to be celebrated. A holiday that falls on the Winter Solstace and has been a worldwide celebration of people of all races and religions since recorded history. A celebration of love, peace, goodwill, and the beginning of a new year. We can call it what we like, but it has allways been a holiday "holy day". So eat, drink, and be merry as we usher in a new year.

GEEZER POWER

Hi...I don't really know what i'm doing here, but i'm having fun and will try to hold the interests of any one bored enough to find this web log. My entries will probably reflect the past, as I have been around for a while, and have seen change that I would have thought existed only in the comic books I read. In fact looking back...Which I can assure you is only an instant of time...I would have saved allmost all of them, especially the Sci Fi's and horrer comics such as "Tales From The Crypt". All comics cost a dime, and I had a large box full of them. I can remember the time that you could write a check on a base ball if you wanted to, and cash your payroll check at any corner grocery store...I could walk to the store with 50 cents and bring home bread, milk, and eggs...Things are moving so fast now, that we will be a cashless society before we know it. The powers that be are doing away with the personal check as we speak.
You will be hearing from me about the outright theft of our government by a gang of theives who claim to be conservatives. They are a far cry from what I thought was conservative. I thought I was conservative, because I believe in protecting nature, and saving for a rainy day. Now I am a senior citizen who appears to be what these idiots would call a radical. I guess that this separates the audience... just like the neocons separated our political parties by controlling the media and creating a chasm as big as the Grand Canyon between them.
If I can figure this out, I'll add a few embellishments to my next post, and will try to keep my posts short and to the point. Yippee! this is fun
