Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my Christmas Elves! How are you?  I read somewhere that the lack of snow cover makes it more difficult to be in the Christmas spirit.  Our temperatures have been remarkable.  Not much lower than 30 now and often in the 40's, even the 50's.  I';m still waiting for the other shoe to drop.  January and February have often been bitterly cold in the past.  There's no reason to think it won't be so this/next year.  If global warming is fin place, maybe January and February won't be quite so wicked.  I don't even talk to Mother Nature anymore.  In fast, I haven't seen her in months.  I heard that they committed her.  If anyone deserves it, it's certainly her.

Of course, our delectable Green Bay Packers stuffed it down the throats of the Oakland Raiders last Sunday.  Thank you, gentlemen.  This Sunday, December 27. our Packers travel to Arizona to take on the Arizona Cardinals at 3:25 PM.  I'll be honest: I didn't know that such a team exists.  I've been in Arizona.  It's hot and dry.  I didn't know that Cardinals prefer that climate, especially since I've seen so many over the years in Wisconsin.  In any case, whoever they are, may the Green Bay Packers throttle them to within an inch of their putrid lives.

The standings of the Irregular Football League are at the right.  We're already into our final week and games.  My Screaming Psychics have a chance  at 3rd place, as do Mr. Hale-bopp's Half-Astrophysicists.  Playing in our version of the Super Bowl are The Mighty Bears  and the Racine Irregulars.  I'm not taking sides on this one because I love them both.  Who will win?

For Christmas this year, Señor Zanza and Junior hare selected a run down house in our neighborhood owned by a "little old lady" who is the sole owner and occupant.  She certainly can't do the house repairs herself, and her sole source of income is Social Security.  She can't afford to hire others to do the repair work for her.   Señor Zanza and Junior have chosen this project in order to demonstrate the meaning of Jesus' preaching.   God bless them all.

Personally, I've been giving free readings for an hour or so each day.  People are still unsure about our economy and our role in international  natters.  Those who can afford it, will have a happy holiday for sure.  The rest of us can only look on in silence.  That doesn't mean we don't have a Merry Christmas.  We just have to be more creative, and that's half the fun.

Here's a seasonal treat:



I wish you and your families the most blessed of holidays.  Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.  I love you all, even the stinkers downtown.

May the love of the season mush all over you and yours.  If you're driving, drive carefully.  Leave plenty of time early.  May our children come to grow in the light Christmas.  May we learn from the love of the holidays.
