Hello, my festive friends! How are you? Still no s-word on the ground in Racine. I’ve seen a few s-wordflakes, but nothing substantial. Hurray for us. I’ll accept a white Christmas. In fact, I’d like one. But, after that, I would be just fine with no more s-word for the winter. Let it s-word somewhere else.The New York Giants fell, barely, to our glorious Green Bay Packers last Sunday. I mistakenly put the Packers’ record at 12-0 last week. That is their current record. Until this coming Sunday, that is, when the Packers will beat the Oakland Raiders. It starts Dec. 11, 3:15 PM, at Lambeau Field. Destroy the Raiders, please, o mighty Pack. Attack, attack, attack! Slash and cut and hack! Grrr! Oh my, so that’s what testosterone feels like.
As usual, I perused the news for noteworthy topics, but again I found it depressing. In this time of “peace on earth, goodwill to men,” I see little of either. Politics have people at each others throats locally and nationally. So much bitterness. I hope that I offend no one by referring to Christmas. That is the tradition I was brought up in. If yours is Hanukah, or Kwanza, or something else, or nothing, I respect you and your faith. And I truly wish you peace, and I truly wish you goodwill, all year round.
In keeping with the season, here is a tune you’ll recognize, but with a hepcat treatment. The Basily Boys – Gipsy Christmas:
Well, that has me feeling better. I hope that you feel great. Thank you for reading my blog this week. It’s a pleasure to post for your pleasure. I love you all.
Put the X back into your Xmas: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.
Only 18 more shopping days until Christmas! Oh dear. May the panic of the season be with you - not. Take it easy. Try to savor the holidays. Try to remember that less than perfect is perfectly human. Madame Zoltar watches over you more closely than Santa Claus, and I don’t keep score. Relax. Enjoy. Perceive. Verbigerate.
Excellant choice on a video! Those guys can play the hell out of those guitars.

Mme Z, KK, SER I love your festivus caps, they make you look very scholarly...BTW Mme Z, I enjoy verbigerating, who really needs to eat meat. lol
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the Oakland Raiders Madame? I'm not sure, I could be having a "moment".
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to read your blogs.
GO PACK GO!
With your foresight, you seem to occasionally get mixed up about what the Packers record currently is and what their record will in the future.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms. Mary, for correcting my error. The Irregulars are a sharp bunch.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mr. Hale-bopp, sometimes my visions of the future get mixed up with my perceptions of the present. I already know the results of the Super Bowl, but I don't want to ruin anyone else's fun.
Mme Z- I really don't want to think about how many more days. I am not done shopping yet and haven't started my Christmas Cookies. This is getting bad with me working now.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Packers crush the Raiders this Sunday!♥
jedwis, I didn't know that you were a verbigetarian. I respect all religions.
ReplyDeleteSER, man, can that guy pick the strings and work the frets. Friends of yours, Mme. Z?
Hell yeah! Love that guitar work! Reminds me of Rodrigo y Gabriela, a Hispanic guitar dual that really smokes the frets!
ReplyDeleteSER, want see some flashy guitar work? Check out Steve Howe from the band called Yes doing the Clap. Yes played this song the last time I saw them in concert.
Wow, now that is some picking and grinning! I liked it. What was that drum-like percussion instrument?
ReplyDeleteA very happy holiday season to all, whatever you practice; after all, family, friends and love are what it is all about.... and I love you guys. Thanks for always being there. (you too, madame!)
