Dear Editor, Will you be Christmas Caroling this year?
-Mrs. Collins
ED NOTE: I feel it is
imcumbent upon me, as a former musician, to spread the cheer of the holidays in
my hood, and I learned this from one of our old neighbors, Neil MacDonald. At
the first house of caroling, my neighbor gave to me, eggnog in a green coffee
mug. At the second house of caroling, my neighbor gave to me, 2 gin and tonics
and some eggnog in a green coffee mug. At the third house of caroling, my
neighbor gave to me, 3 whiskey sours, 2 gin and tonics, and some eggnog in a
green coffee mug. At the fourth house of caroling, my neighbor gave to me, 4
appletinis, 3 whiskey sours, 2 gin and tonics, and some eggnog in a green coffee
mug. At the fifth house of caroling, my neighbor gave to me, 5 shooootz of
Jack... That's the last thing I remember.

Dear Editor, I am a resident of Shelby Crossings Nursing Home and a friend of Jean. I want to thank that young man for coming to play guitar for us. He was delightful. I also want to apologize for the women who could not control themselves and threw their underwear at him. I especially want to apologize for that one fully soiled depends undergarment. That was mine.
-A Real Live Wire in Shelby
ED
NOTE: Not to worry, but when that flew, that's when Mac really
lost his cause (and Steve lost his lunch).
Dear Editor,
Whose name do I have in the drawing and what is the limit this year?
-Out of Town Gifter

ED NOTE: We
haven't had a Christmas Name Draw in a couple years now. Instead,
in the past, I have just written out a sizeable check to a
charitable organization, like MDA, or MS, or NAACP. This year, I
picked out a worthy organization. It is called CASH (Childrens Area Special
Hospital). They do a lot of great work for the children... with
their special hospital... in the area... for the children. I
would encourage anyone in a giving mood, to send me a check
payable to the organization name "CASH", and I will see it gets
put to great use.
