This is another funny comedian. One of my favorites:

"Another Post From Yesteryear!" Circa 2006
My niece, Amber, had her baby today. Congratulations are in order. And to "Bone," her enigmatic hubby, as well.
The pregnancy was her second, but this one was difficult, as Amber was on "bedrest" a few moons ago. Due to a miracle, her placenta moved, so she had her l'il one just a coppola weeks shy of the due date.
My sister, the enigmatic Olga, went to Mount Shasta to pray for her daughter's safety. Shortly afterwards, her prayers were answered.
The new arrival is a girl. Daddy Bone badly wanted wanted a boy, but, alas, it wasn't in the [ tarot ] cards. Her name has been determined-as of this writing-and she will be known as "Summer Sky." An old saying comes to mind from back in the day. "Far out!"
What happened to the traditional names like Linda, Charlene, Debbie, Shirley, and Sally? Seems Bone and Amber bypassed the newer hip names like Brittney, Caitlin, Demi, and well, er, uh, Olga by thinking "outside the box." If I had been aware of their wishes for an oddball, er, unusual name, I could have helped out. My suggestions: [ as if anybody asked? ]
1) Winter Solstice
2) Spring Forward
3) Fall Back
4) Autumn Leaves
5) Global Warming
6) Red Sky in Morning Sailors Take Warning
7) Blue Sky at Night Sailors Delight
8) Moon River
9) Summer Solstice
10) International Dateline
11) v.c.
Congrats, v.c.
P.S. And whatever happened to naming yer kids with initials?
a) L.B.
b) J.D.
c) I.C.B.M
d) J.R.
e) O.J.
f) v.c.
g) E.T.C.

"Gran Torino"
It's been a few days or moons since I penned a few riffs on Golden Pond. Seems I don't have the time anymore. Or maybe I don't take the time. Writing here has always been a labor of love. And a sort of therapy if you will. And a diary, a journal-call it what you will.
In forays from October of last year, petrol was hard to find and cost a staggering $4.37 per gallon. Whew! Unprecedented it was. These days the price has been as low as $1.32 thanks to shopping at Kroger, the super-duper supermarket chain. Lately, however, gasoline at the pumps has been slowly inching upwards. Hello marketplace.
On an unrelated note, Clint Eastwood has a new movie out called "Gran Torino." And, of course, it's number one at the box office.
My friend from kindergarten, Bogus Bob, owned a '69 Torino. Gas in those days hovered around a quarter a gallon. 4 in the floor it was. And a petrol guzzler.
The trailer follows: Methinks yours truly would like to see this film.

"Happy New Year":
Happy New Year to everyone who ventures this way. Which ain't a lot of people. Oh, well. You gotta git in where you fit in as they say in the vernacular.
The weather tonight is idyllic. Dark storm clouds have been hanging around for a while and are dribbling a few rain drops our way. It's probably rainin' all over the world.
So have a good year. And keep Newt in the road.
Farewell and skidoo, v.c.
P.S. On the subject of wishing, a full tilt blizzard would be just grand. We haven't had one of those in quite some time.
