She was beautiful

Beautiful to my eyes

From the moment I saw her

The sun filled the sky

She was so, so beautiful

Beautiful just to hold

In my dreams she was springtime

Winter was cold

I was out Sunday night with my new VP. We had a good day and were relaxing with a couple of drinks. I was on the club soda because I was driving. We had just left after spending some time with this type of Bambi.

When I ran into this type of Bambi.

I literally mean, ran into. Crossing RT9 in front of the old Weathervane restaurant were six or eight deer, walking across the road in a straight line. I couldn't swerve, there was no place to go. Now, had it been the first type of Bambi ,I would have driven into the snowbank or what ever needed to be done to stop. I hit this deer dead center, pardon the pun.

Now I'm waiting for the insurance company to declare my car dead as Bambi. I looked up the book value for the car, $850, I'm sue there is more damage than that. My mechanic is searching for parts from a junk yard. he asked if I minded if the replacements weren't white. It's a 1987 Buick, of course I don't mind if it's two different colors. It might even add a bit of class to it.

Coming soon, things to look forward to in 2009 with the Saratoga AOH

I knew a man, his name was Lange

and he had a neon sign.

Mr. Lange was on in years

so we called it

"Old Lange's Sign"

Happy 2009 everyone. This update is presented via Michael's laptop. My computer has a virus and it has made posting very hard. I hope everyone  had a great New year's eve. I stayed home and watch a movie, God, I'm getting old. I can remember when New Years meant getting loaded and ending the night making out with some random women. Aaahhh, those were the days. Now here I am spending the night alone in my apartment watching some crappy movie listening to the people next door playing "rock band". As far as I can tell Bon Jovi has nothing to worry about. For the past few weeks these guys and their friends have been playing , "Livin on a Prayer" and they suck. When the power went out at the wedding and the kids kept singing it was much better than the crap that I hear through my walls. I would complain but there is no one in the apartment on the other side and unless the people living under them complain they will know it is me. It's bad enough that they are having these parties almost every weekend but they also have to go out on the balcony so the noise is even louder. 

So, did anyone make any resolutions for the new year? Don't worry it's not to late. What fun is it if you don't have a resolution or two to break. It's only for the winter, they never last till spring anyway. Sure the big one, to lose weight. How many people make this one and it's only to look good in a swimsuit this summer so by the time spring comes, warm weather, sexy clothes, resolution over. This is also a commentary on Americans, our attention span is only a few months at best. This is both good and bad. The good part is that we are resilient, something bad happens and we get over it quick. The bad side is that corporate America knows this as well and uses it against us. They get caught doing something wrong and after a few days or weeks we forget all about it. Watch the sales of SUV's go up again now that gas is under $2 a gallon. Remember when it was over $4 and we all wanted to know where were the hybrids or electric cars?  the war, we all know it's wrong, we all know that it was a lie to begin with and we still don't care. Maybe if there was a draft more people would give a crap about what is going on, but hey, it's a holiday so stop thinking and go back to watching the Rose Parade (it's on four different channels for crying out loud). Happy New Year everyone, enjoy (see even my attention span is short)
