The Once-in-a-While
Daily News
1 It's still Novembering in my wayward eyes.
2 Is it just me or is everybody decorating WAY too early for Christmas?
3 It's sorta fun though, especially with all the Beebeez.
4 I decorated. Sort of. I do stuff with light lasers. I don't like going up high ladders anymore, so I turn those things straight up and they light the trees.
5 Right now I think I got overzealous. I think I bought around six of those things last year and tried to make it look like I hadn't.
6 Fortunately, Helene knows how to do window stuff, and how to lay out mantels with leaves, lights, and holiday stockings. Decorative stuff.
7 I'm thinking of getting a Christmas wreath, or perhaps a small tree just so I could enjoy the smell. I'm thinking of going Hallmark. Just for ducks.
8 It's funny, because EVERY Hallmark Christmas movie involves a couple of writers, a young man, and a young woman, who live in some small town up in the mountains, and absolutely EVERYBODY in town hangs out at the local Christmas tree farm. This is always a place where everybody in town dresses warm, wears colorful scarves, and sips hot cocoa. Later in the movie, they will decide to go to the ice rink, where one writer can skate and the other can't.
9 They also have the tree-lighting ceremony at some point, and a scene involving a snow globe. Around 900 of them have D.J. Tanner in them.
10 And they all look like cookie-cutter copies of all the other Hallmark Christmas movies.
11
12 And we sucker for these things every year.
13 And I always find myself watching these, and hollering, "Who watches this stuff???"
14 And I always find myself an hour-and-a-half later shouting, "TELL HER!!!"
15 Yup.
16 Here.
17 Have a Christmas dog, dressed like a reindeer:
18 It sleighs me.
19
20 Sorry.
21 Just feeling a little frivolous.
22 So frivolous that I decided to bring in some final Novembering pictures before this fuddle of Christmas overwhelms me, and it will. So here, have a little more November before you get swallowed up:
23 Pssssssssst. I have a shameless confession to make.
24 I went back into a DN from almost exactly a year ago and grabbed the above pictures.
25 I didn't take any of 'em.
26 I just wanted to bring in a last fit of November before all is lost.
27 Plus I was daydreaming while writing because the Kings were beating the Warriors in the fourth. Items 28 on down were written Monday night when the Sacramento Kings beat the Golden State Warriors. Allow us all to hold hands and time travel. It can be done.
Ready: Here go, the end of the game, brought to you live. I slanted the fonts so that you'll know.
28 I thought I could pun it up for a bit until the Kings eventually lose.
29 On the other hand, there's a real possibility that they could win.
30 Nah.
31 No chance.
32 I'm going to go slumming for some more old pictures from last year. It was fun finding those.
33 Know what I came back with, after time-travelling (Chiefly British spelling)?
34 This. I plucked it from the past, just now:
36 Why Simon?
37 Well. I don't recall the exact origin of this, but I noticed over the years whenever Ponch and I would go to a restaurant and they would ask our name, he would always say, "Simon."
38 Made perfect sense to me.
39 I had forgotten about that picture. We were at a Giants' game, possibly the only one we ever went to together.
40 Holy sh!t! The Kings are going to beat the Warriors. Bogdanovich scores, and it is Sacramento 110, Golden State 106!
41 There will be rioting in the streets here in Sacramento, and you got it live. I'm glad I loafed it on this DN so I could squeeze that game in, even though it happened on Monday night.
42 I'm a Warriors' fan, but this is really something. First time since March of 2013, and they beat the Warriors in Oakland.
43 Granted, the Warriors had two major players not playing, but still.
44 Frank Mason baby. Remember the name.
45 Yes, I said that seriously.
46 AnywayZ...That's it for time travel. Notice the fonts are normal again. It is now the present. It is now Wednesday, November 29, 2017. Dust it off. Time travel is easy, and it is fine. You just have to bathe afterward.
47 I gottago. It was fun travelling (Chiefly British spelling) with you, but it is breakfast time. I need to ethereal.
48 See you again. I mean it this time.
49 And as always:
50 Live life.
51 Love life.
52 Peace.
