I've been out of touch with a lot of you 'peeps' recently, but here's some stuff. Keep me updated, eh? IRISH MIKE - noting that he is now meeting with friends for breakfast, he says his wife Amy has started calling him ROMEO. Not as romantic as you think; it means, "Really Old Man Eating Out."
===
BUD and PAT - ran into this Christmas "elf" greeting people and giving out candy at a shopping center in Carolina. The day was warm and the grass was green, but Christmas is magic to a kid in any case.

MIKE CARROLL almost from Carrollton - has forwarded a bunch of "why" questions. This one is a an especially baffling one, if you ask me: "Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? "
He also sent these "Amazingly Simple Home Remedies"
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup
of boiling water down your throat and presto, the blockage will be
almost instantly removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting
someone else to hold them while you chop away.
3. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed
for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember
to use an egg timer.
4. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you
will be afraid to cough.

DASHMANN and JOANN - Found themselves investing a lot of money in some new plumbing and sewer work.
Also, Dashmann has been very interested in the saga of Michigan's new coach and concludes that the Schembechler Era is over now that a new coach with no Michigan experience has been hired.
TRASE and SCOT - found themselves investing a lot of money in basement repairs.

SOME TRAVEL NOTES -
SANDY - her daughter came home from California, and she herself has returned from a trip to visit parents in North Carolina.
SPARTY and GIGI- Son is home for the holidays from North Carolina.
MARSHA - traveled by private jet to Charleston to participate in a ceremony honoring former Senator Fritz Hollings. He was one of University of South Carolina 'Distinguished Alumni.' She said he is a charming guy and fascinating to listen to. He had many stories about famous people he'd known in politics, including many Presidents.
BUD and PAT - Home from Florida.

JERRY - says he woke during the big snow storm in Michigan, looked outside, and saw that a snow fairy had come to do the walk.
Jerry kept us updated about a fire in our neighborhood while we were away. The house across the street burned down and Jerry checked my house for damage. Many thanks.

BILL FROM WNNCO - claims that George W. Bush ran into a guy who looked just like Moses, but when he tried to talk to the guy, he was ignored. So, a Secret Service agent went up to the man in the white robe and whispered,
"You look just like Moses. Are you?"
The man leaned over and whispered back ... "Yes, I am
Moses. However, the last time I talked to a bush I
spent 40 years wandering in the desert, and ended up
leading my people to the only spot in the entire middle
east where there is no oil."
