An Unforgettable Cribbage Game
Mood:  happy
On the day before his birthday, my brother-in-law and partner received a 28 hand to win our second and final game against our wives. This is the first time that I've seen this hand. My brother-in-law(Joe Noseworthy)who is turning 60 tomorrow has only seen these hands three times in a lifetime. One can go three or four lifetimes without experiencing a perfect 29 hand, so I'm not waiting around until then to report a great cribbage hand.

Only God can deliver perfection, but may I wish you seven or eight 28 hands in very big games where you come from behind and win.

Work, Work, Work
Mood:  don't ask
Believe it or not, there's still some mail hanging around from the Christmas rush. I'm continuing to work all the overtime I can. Hopefully, I'll end up a few bucks ahead and not like this guy below.



Maybe I need some rabbit poo-tea to give me a lift.

The Worse Interview Of 2003.
Mood:  down
Who? Don Cherry, a TV hockey commentator in Canada

Q: What is the biggest misconception about you?
A: A lot of people think that I don't have any brains. What I have is street smarts, like a construction worker. You never hear about a construction worker committing suicide. Murder, yeah, but not suicide.
Who Or What Is Don Cherry?

Happy New Year
Mood:  hug me
We had a great time at a Newfoundland Pub called "Eastern Passage" in Brampton. The number of Newfies in Brampton, Ontario is almost as many as those in Newfoundland. We got to see the New Year come in twice, once in St. John's NFLD and the other in Brampton(Please note that Newfoundland is the first North American area to welcome the New Year. It's a half hour ahead of Altantic Time). Derek Pilgrim ,despite his heavy cold, played his Newfoundland and Country Music very well. My wife also won a Newfoundland clock which is shaped like the island. All the best for 2004, may the wind at your back be your own.

Joke Of The Week
A patient was seeing his doctor about a sore throat.
"Gargle 12 times a day with Newfie Screech", the doctor instructed. "Will that make my sore throat better?" replied the patient. "No, but it'll make you forget your problem."

"What's Newfie Screech???"

Movie Review 58: The Road To Bali
While Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are delightful in the song/dance numbers and some comedy routines, the picture suffers because of an insipid story line that seems like an afterthought(i.e. Deep sea diving for(the family?)jewels). Most of this stuff is TV skit material that gets thin quickly. Two stars.

Have Happy Boxing Day
Mood:  lucky
It's now time "to fight" for the best deal that one can get on consumer products. Fight the retail stores and the manufacturers: not other customers. That isn't how "Boxing Day" got its name, but I like the above definition anyway. May you end up a winner today and during "Boxing Day Week and "Boxing Day Month".
