This year, that included a few rounds of Canasta, a game I haven't played since I was twenty.<br /><br />It was fun, actually. I have nothing against Christmas, per se, and I do enjoy good company. I like some of the music that drifts like wispy snow from unexpected directions. I heard and innovative arrangement of Faure's Pavanne this year while dining at one of Knoxville's better restaurants. It went nicely with the Chilean Carménère I was sipping.<br /><br />Christmas. I may try to avoid it. But not very hard.LochTowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13095814439247730901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712035487197267345.post-13026680055980998412010-12-28T14:14:41.261-08:002010-12-28T14:14:41.261-08:00Dragon, eh?

Although I wonder about what the denizens of Okefenokee knew about freezing on trolleys. <br /><br />I have always had a theory that the MBTA had only one guy with a special wrench to turn on and off the heat of all the trolley cars, subway cars, and trackless trolleys. It took him about six months to finish the switch over, and then he would go back and reverse the process.<br /><br />I can think of no other reason why the heat always seemed to be going full blast in June, and there was no heat at all in December, January, & February.<br /><br />Doonesbury almost fills the gap that Pogo left behind, but not quite. <br /><br />There never seems to be a witty 'gator around when you really need one.Binnacle Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123211356601640612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2712035487197267345.post-69845261709270523172010-11-16T11:05:35.110-08:002010-11-16T11:05:35.110-08:00I just wish he were a little bigger--Halfies are u...I just wish he were a little bigger--Halfies are usually half a horse high and two horses wide.
