Daily Ramblings – Funny Friday

“Men always want to be a woman’s first love. That is their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about these things. What (women) like is to be a man’s last romance.”― Oscar Wilde

Enjoy your Friday, folks!

Until next time…

I’ll forego my typical Motivation Monday posting to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! My sister and her boyfriend are on the way, Mom is in the kitchen preparing the meal, and Dad is reading the paper in his favorite rocking chair.

The family dog is where she always is, relaxing at the foot of my desk as I compose this posting.

As a retired veteran, I would be remiss if I forgot to wish all the men and women of our Armed Forces a Merry Christmas too! I was separated from family many times throughout my career and it was nice to hear from folks back home, wishing me well. One year, a judge from my hometown wrote me a letter, explaining that he had served in the Korean War and missed quite a few Christmas holidays with his family. His letter meant a lot to me, particularly since I was reading it from a guard post on Christmas Eve at the now-disassembled Spandau Prison in W. Berlin, guarding Rudolph Hess, one of the last minions of Hitler’s inner circle.

I also want to wish our first-responders a Merry Christmas. Many of them will be working tonight, while we are sleeping, to keep us safe. I hope all of you have a quiet night and get home safe and sound to celebrate the day with your families.

I hope all of you have the time to think about 2018 and all of the great things you’ve accomplished. I also hope you take some time to begin thinking about all of the great things that lay ahead for you in 2019.

Use this time to enjoy your families, your pets, and your friends. Recharge your batteries and get ready for a great year!

Until next time…

“Once I pulled a job, I was so stupid. I picked a guy’s pocket on an airplane and made a run for it.” ― Rodney Dangerfield

You have to love Rodney Dangerfield’s self-deprecation. He made a lot of money poking at himself. I really enjoy a lot of his stand-up routines.

I finished my Christmas shopping today. If you’re still hitting the shops, stores, and malls, be careful out there if you are in the U.S. We are getting crazy weather all over, particularly the East Coast. The closer we get to Christmas, the crazier the traffic and the stores get. Be safe, take your time, and pay attention.

I’ll be keeping my blogging schedule up through the holidays. Now that I have finished the big trip of the year, the rest of 2018 is a downhill slide. I hope this brought a little joy to your day. Enjoy your holidays, enjoy your family and friends. Now’s the time to take account of your life and begin looking at 2019. Keep an eye out for my goals for the next year.

Until next time…
