DECEMBER 24TH 2007
WEATHER; COLD/WARM, MED HUMIDITY, 19/50 DEGREES
1 MORE DAY!
I HOPE YOU ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE AS GOOD A CHRISTMAS AS I AND MY FAMILY ARE!
I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU A;
MERRY & A BLESSED CHRISTMAS
“PLEASE DON’T FORGET THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!”
MY BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT WAS SEEING THE COWBOYS GO TO 13-2 THEN WITH GREEN BAYS LOSS TO THE CHICAGO BEARS 35-7 THE COWBOY & REDSKINS GAME ISN’T SO IMPORTANT ALTHOUGH 14-2 WOULD BE NICE! I HOPE T.O. WILL BE READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS
MOM HAS FINISHED ALL THE BAKING AND IS GETTING READY TO SET DOWN AND RELAX (I HOPE)! WHOOPS! NOW SHE HAS TO MAKE MORE MINCE MEAT PIES THEN MAYBE SHE’LL SET DOWN AND RELAX!
ALL THE PRESENTS ARE WRAPPED AND PLACED UNDER THE TREE! ALL THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ARE WORKING THE GOODIE BAGS ARE ALL FILLED WITH THE CANDY AND LOVE TO BE TAKEN AROUND AFTER CHRISTMAS! THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH TIME AND WE HAVE TO PUT THIS OFF FOR NOW BUT, THEY WILL BE DELIVERED!
I TALKED TO MY BUDDY, BILL MASON TODAY AND CHAR MILLIGAN ANOTHER GOOD FRIEND FROM GRAMMER/HIGH SCHOOL, THEY BOTH LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, BILL IN NORTHRIDGE AND CHAR IN THE OXNARD SHORES. EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH THEM AND THEY’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH FRENDS AND RELATIVES!
MOM HAD TO GO TAKE OUR GRANDDAUGHTER KYLIE SHOPPING TODAY; SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION AND KIND OF DEPENDS ON MOM!
I’M GOING TO DO A CHRONICLE TOMORROW AND THEN WILL PICK IT UP AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR! I SHOULD HAVE A BUNCH OF THINGS TO REPORT ON THEN! IT’S GOTTEN KIND OF MEAGER HERE LATELY!
YEARS AGO I USED TO ROLLER SKATE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK AND SOMETIMES MORE AT THE HOLLYWOOD ROLLER BOWL AN OLD CONVERTED MOVIE SET! THE HARD WOOD FLOOR WAS 100’ WIDE AND 200’ LONG ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON THEY GOT ME ON THE END OF A “WHIP”, WE WENT AROUND AND AROUND BUILDING UP SPEED, I WAS HOLDING ON TO THE BELT LOOPS OF THE GUY IN FRONT OF ME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BELT LOOP ON THE RIGHT BROKE AND I HAD TO LET GO OF THE OTHER ONE. WHEN I LOOKED UP I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE FRONT OF THE BALCONY THAT RAN ACROSS THE END OF THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD STOP AND I WENT INTO THE WALL AT ABOUT 20 MPH. WHEN I CAME TO BILL MASON WAS BENDING OVER ME ASKING IF I WAS OK? I SAT UP AND SAID; “HELL NO I’M NOT OK, THAT HURT”! THEY HELPED ME UP AND TOOK ME TO THE NURSE WHO PUT A BAND-AID ON THE CUT UNDER MY RIGHT EYE! THE MANAGER CAME IN AND ASKED THE SAME THING AND I GAVE HIM THE SAME ANSWER! THAT WAS THE LAST “WHIP” ALLOWED AT THE HOLLYWOOD ROLLER BOWL!
AFTER THAT I DID SOME SKATING IN A MICKEY ROONEY MOVIE FILMED THERE IT WAS “THE FIRE BALL” ABOUT ROLLER DERBY! I DID SOME SPOT REXING THAT THEY SHOT BUT DUBBED ONE OF THE STARS OVER ME SO THEY DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY ME FOR TIME!
LATER ON A BUDDY, DICK CLARK (NOT THE AMERICAN BANDSTAND ONE) AND I HAD A CHANCE TO DO SOME STUNTS IN ANOTHER MICKEY ROONEY MOVIE CALLED “THE BIG WHEEL” ABOUT AUTO RACING THAT WAS SHOT IN PART AT CULVER CITY SPEED WAY! I DID THE PART WHERE A DRIVER CALLED “SMILEY” WENT OVER THE WALL AND THE MIDGET CAUGHT FIRE AND KILLED HIM! DICK DID SOME OTHER SHOT INVOLVING CARS RACING IN TURNS AND GETTING INTO EACH OTHER! WE EACH GOT $600.00 FOR THAT WORK! WOW, THAT’S A LONG TIME AGO!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
