Happy Holidaze

Hey Hey Mamma Said The Way You Move     Gonna Make You Sweat     Gonna Make You Groove    Ah, Child, The Way You Shake That Thing     Gonna Make You Burn      Gonna Make You Sting     Hey Hey Baby When You Walk That Way     Watch Your Honey Drip      Can't Keep Away 


Led Zeppelin 

Led Zeppelin IV 1971/11/18 


Talk about, wait, sing about a special moment in time. I so dig breaking trail with verve. The experience brings me to the notion that I am the only living sole tromping through Mother Nature's magical landscape. Peaceful 


Of course I sense a tenuous feeling as I really used to be in solid shape for these outings. The Boy Dog definitely adheared to that. Him and I would trudge along for miles and miles. And our shared PB&J seemed to taste just that, excellence. Most Excellent 


I always bring up the Boy Dog around this time frame of our calendar year because him & I walked to The Dude's place every Christmas morning together. We both thrived on this jaunt because there tends to be nobody out at sunrise Christmas morning. The Boy Dog was the definition of enthusiasm. Think Snow 


The Boy Dog will be forever in my heart like the sunshine warming my bones along some crunchy frozen snow covered pathway. Love You Shadow Boy 

MERRY CHRISTAMS:

WoW!!! Having a tough time wrapping my head around the fact that it is currently Christmas Eve and New Years Eve will be a memory in no time at all. But while it is here, Merry Merry My Friends

I simply want to thank you all so much for your kind offerings. You have inspired me to drop my pissy pants act and discover new and exciting creative outlets. Have a sneaky suspicion that 2023 is going to rock the casbah. Rock The Casbah

I am planning on meandering around the Mantey Hight's neighborhood tonight. Those fine folks have lined their entire streets with ( luminary ) paper bags. The neighborhood prides themselves with the fact that they are the only hood in GJ that Xcel turns off ALL the street lights for. And yes, it is stated in the Home Owners Association that if you are out of town, you MUST have a plan in place as no driveway will be left out. Talk About Communal 

Cars drive up, down, and over throughout the glowing streets. Unfortunately, the newer model of automobiles are unable to dim their headlights. They seemingly stick out like a sore thumb for sure. But it is a sight to see with all those bags cascading a yellowish orange shine onto the pure white snow banks of coolness. So Cool 

Christmas morning/afternoon will be spent with The Dude's youngest at her place. She has the big inviting home and two little ones so it feels more like a spirited Christmas festivities around their parts. H & B put out the hard word that nobody is welcome to 'Rock Around the Christmas Tree' before 10am. Outstanding 

To the doctors and nurses, the pilots and flight attendances, the firemen and police officers, and ALL YOU POSTAL/ UPS / FEDeX members, THANK YOU 

I leave you with this time lapse for our It's a Wonderful Life live radio read at KAFM seven years ago. It's about 3 minutes long, in time lapse mode of all the cast of characters, I make an appearance at :29 for the crowd noise during the holiday party - 1:04 on the mic as the Toy Shop Owner - 1:57 in black as Bartender Pinky, and I then spliced in real voicing lines that were read long the way in post production for generating this short video. Turn It Up


Wishing Y'all A Delightful Celestial Seasons Greetings,

Cheers

  2. Dearest Travis,
    Merry Christmas to you and yours!
    My first Christmas not being able to go to Mass... Still not feeling well enough after my bout of Hyperkalemia. Need to be still stricter with my diet for never again taking high Potassium foods.
    It is cold here at –10°C tonight and it was –9°C this early morning. But I'm maybe 70% of the time, warmly in bed. Kitties sure want to stay inside.
    Big hugs,
    Mariette

  5. That's definitely the shortest version of "It's a Wonderful Life" that I've ever watched! Have a great holiday. The luminaria sound amazing, and I can totally understand being with the Boy Dog in spirit. That's partly what holidays are for -- touching base with our memories.

  14. It looks peaceful and nice indeed, but... much, much higher temps for me, pretty please.
    Two years ago we had snow like that (or three years?) - I went home to get the cam and share how you hear the footsteps (I was out very early).

    Looking forward to what you are up in the coming year!

    Reckon you had a great Christmas, YES!
    Great and true thank you, too.
    And the video :-) Hi from here.

    Cheers!!!

  21. I love that feeling of "breaking trail", or being the first to hike in a particular area in a long time, with no human footprints to be seen. The solitude regenerates. Have a Happy New Year!
