Comments: Whoa! Larry....I had you pegged in Kendre Sunday School for a crazy boy!! As we grew up your funny, crazy humor was evident too. This running accomplishment is unmatchable by anything I can think of in the hobby area! Best wishes for more fun runs in 2012! I don't think he reads here, but I'm just sayin
Comments: Nice article about our '63 classmate, Larry Macon. 825 Marathons? I'd get gassed just running to the mailbox!
Comments: Happy birthday, Barry! You will enjoy new windows. We did that a few years ago, and it made the house quieter and cleaner. I was surprised to see how easy it was to take out the old windows. A screwdriver and a knife, and they popped right out. It's great to be able to raise the windows on pretty days, and the cats love it!
Comments: And I thought everyone had forgotten. I should have known that I could count on JS. I actually took all day off so we could get our old house windows replaced with some more energy efficient ones. I am also home today doing the same thing. It has been good because I have gotten a lot of the dreaded income tax stuff posted on Quicken. If you ever feel like tearing up something, just replace your windows. "Get a bigger crowbar!!" I just hope the walls survive.
Comments: Just squeezin' in under the wire to wish our Barry E. Gibbs a Happy Birthday today. Tell Joan to save me some cake! I hope you closed the shop at 4:45 today to go celebrate.
Comments: Geo-Johnny: Since that guy is out of the picture, start a campaign to have the parks reopened to your groups. I can't believe that sign actually says "no pinatas". Watched so much football yesterday that my eyes hurt, but really good games. I finished the jigsaw puzzle, finally. It was a toughy, but still fun. Really didn't want to come back to work today, but such is life.
Comments: Yesterday I was chasing a geocache down south of The Woodlands at a park that falls under the management of Harris County. As I drove into the park I was surprised to see a sign prohibiting the use of "Pinatas". I guess it is yet another indicator of the creeping demographic changes affecting our State. Also of note is the nearby sign mentioning Precint 4 County Commissoner Jerry Eversole. Eversole is despised by the 3 metal detecting clubs in Harris & Montgomery County. About four years back he instituted the policy of banning metal detecting in any park owned by Harris County. Overnight numerous huge parks were now off-limits and the thousands of coins, rings, and necklaces lost there over the years will remain undiscovered. Kharma came into play last Fall when Eversole was indicted on charges of accepting bribes for awarding park contracts. He resigned from office and agreed to take a plea bargain to avoid prison time. His punishment will be determined this month. 
Comments: We're having neighbors over for fried shrimp and black-eyed peas, and I'm thinking Cole slaw counts as a leafy green vegetable. Everyone will go home by 10 p.m., and we'll watch the ball drop in NYC. That's it for me! Happy and Healthy 2012 to all SOCites!
Comments: If you must get out amongst the crazies tonight, please be careful. Donna and I will be staying inside, safe from the madness. Having a good steak, baker tater and some sauteed 'shrooms. If I can stay awake long enough I may get to watch the ball drop at Times Square. Be careful my friends and have a Happy New Year!
Comments: Lynell, you are so right about Sun Rexall, that store did have everything. I quit the puzzle last night to watch the Holiday Bowl with Texas. Went back to the puzzle after a short time. Boring!
Comments: Sharon, I'm sorry about Jill, but what nice memories. That Sun Rexall was the best store ever. They had everything, and they were open all night.
Comments: Yes, Charlotte, that was the sound of a very happy tummy (yuk). Today one of the girl's at the office forced me to go to El Fenix for enchiladas. I am still full. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE food. Sunday is my day for family coming to my house for New Year's Day. We will celebrate Christmas with Ashley since she was in Palestine this year. Michael and I will joint cook. Love those black eye peas. I thought they were suppose to bring you luck or money of something like that......all they give me is GOOD EATS.
Comments: Putting together jigsaw puzzles has been a holiday tradition for me since the early 70's. Randy's late sister, Jill, and I used to go to SunRexall Drug in Richardson and buy at least 2 before Christmas and then go back after Christmas for more. It was a family affair with everyone contributing at one time or another. So much fun. The hardest one we ever worked on was a solid red, round one. That's right folks. It took three days just to get the outside border. We worked on that thing off and on for six months until we finally finished it. Jill's been gone since 1982, but I think of her lovingly every time I open a new puzzle. Precious memories.
Comments: Re the jigsaw puzzle, I was 90% through with it, and I had covered it carefully with a huge cutting board. The cats ran across it and knocked everything onto the floor. You have to love animals to live with them.
Comments: Gee, I wish we had a Like button on this guestbook. Sharon and Phil, what great reports. I indulged in waaay too many goodies. The last jigsaw puzzle I attempted was when our cats were babies. My bad.
Comments: Christmas in the Big Apple with my 2 daughters who live there. Great time and weather was good. Saw 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', with my youngest 26 years old.! NYC does it up right with decorations in Manhattan. Hope everyone's Christmas was blessed
Comments: We had a wonderful Christmas and, probably like everyone, ate way too much. As I left for work (ugh) this morning, Steve remarked that he had no idea what he was going to eat today since there wasn't anything in the house. Of course, he was being facetious. Our frige is overflowing with leftovers. Haven't baked anything sweet yet, but did manage to make a ton of sausage balls. I managed to read two books and watch some football at the same time. Started a jigsaw puzzle yesterday that may try my patience! Want to wish everyone a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Comments: Peaches, is that the sound of a Happy Christmas Tummy??? Me too! I did Pig Out this last weekend! Fun, Friends, Loved ones and FFF...food food food! I even made an apple pie to take to Christmas dinner....haven't baked a pie in years!!!!!!! It was good too...but then, it is hard to mess up an apple pie. That must be the easiest pie to make. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays!
Comments: oink. oink.
Comments: Wow, James, I am so impressed with your thoughtfulness and kindness. Loved the article! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Comments: Way to go James!
Comments: Jean, thanks for letting us know about James's ponytail. I wouldn't recognize him without it! What a nice thing for him to do. Happy New Year to you! 
Comments: From the Wylie Newspaper Dec 21, 2011: LOCAL MAN DONATES PONYTAIL TO CHARITY. Dec 13 Kat Smith of the Downtown Salon on Ballard in Wylie had a unique client. His name is James Anthony, and at age 67, he sported a blonde-and-gray ponytail that Willie Nelson might have envied. A 1963 graduate of South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, Anthony said he has several friends who are surviving cancer and "this is something I can do to support them". His ponytail, measuring 14" was snipped and donated to the LOCKS OF LOVE organization that provides hairpieces to those who have had hair loss due to medical treatments such as chemotherapy. "The Christmas season makes you stop and realize how fortunate you are and how tough it can be for people facing hugh situations with their health and lives", he said.
Comments: Merry Christmas!
