Many more new followers today. Thanks! A special welcome to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, a highlight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." I shall not dare enter his territory but hopefully he will write.
Looking way ahead, Olive, the other reindeer, is still my favorite.

Got a check in the mail for the consignment sale of my 4th and final trombone, my jazz horn, an '80s Conn 100H. Man, do we have memories. May your new home be delightful my friend. Oh, its pic is the one in my profile.

To prove we are in accelerated NFL time and will soon exchange holiday gifts, the Patriots' training camp is already over. #boom
Six new follows overnight - six? What is this, X-itter? There, I could only be nice for 15 minutes. <( ) >... my symbol for a sigh.
Why'd the music manuscript paper go to the health clinic? Staff infection.
Update an old ditty: "Shave and a haircut, forty-eight dollars."
Can't be ticked she traded our prize dairy cow for a rare poetry book, having promised to love her for butter or verse.
