Yes, it’s snowing here in the Hinterlands, with high winds, and the temperature will be falling to well below freezing by tonight — when I have to drive 60 miles in the dark for my evening shift! Yay!
And today is the day that I must take down all the Christmas stuff and store it away until (that much better) Christmas next year!
And it has to be done today because, beginning Monday, I officially start back to work on the TV pilot project with Peitor Angell, at 9:30AM my time, and he sent me no less than ten documents — and some are actually documents that contain many other documents….
So I have to have all of this looked over by Monday morning. And I have 4 shifts between now and then.
But I have to say, gang, that I am really excited to get back into the project, even though it’s a ton of work. At the very least, it gives me a chance to talk to Peitor again about 20 times a day! (And get photos of what the sea looks like from his balcony in Nice, France. Official home of Abstract Absurdity Productions.)

Okay. I don’t really have much to post this morning.
“By now everyone should understand what Benjamin Franklin was trying to convey about the fragility of our political system when he described the newly formed government as “a republic — if you can keep it.” We cannot be lulled back to sleep because Trump won. Rather, adhering to our republican way of life means honoring and rejoicing in the heritage and culture of We the People. “
Are any of you also trying to figure out what effing day it is??
It really feels like Monday. No way does it feel like Thursday...
Anyway. So far so good around here — 2025 is still feeling like an incredible year.
***********
For the “news ” — we’ll start with this.
A very interesting article from General Flynn’s substack — read it when you have time and you will easily understand why the Q Military Operation was so necessary:
“Tools of Tyrants : CIA Operations and Projects — Part Two
Today’s report is the second addressing some of the various “Operations” and “Projects” which the CIA has conducted around the world. It has always been difficult to reconstruct CIA activities, as it routinely classifies everything it even thinks about doing, and refuses to disclose documents exposing its activities under the Freedom of Information Act. Sadly, judges are afraid to overrule claims that CIA documents are classified no matter how weak the justification may be. […]
“White Hats Arrest FDA Official after Finding BIRD FLU Samples in his House Fridge
White Hats on New Year’s Eve arrested a senior Food & Drug Administration (FDA) employee on charges of treason and domestic terrorism after a US Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) unit found in his home refrigerator samples of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, sources in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News. […]
It was exactly this time of year, five years ago, that Fake News had begun to predictively program the captive subjects of Normiedom with a daily low-level buzz about some nasty little pathogen that had jumped from a “bat ™ (rolling eyes) in a “wet market” ™(rolling eyes) to a human in Wuhan, China. That the bug was eventually coming to America, via Air China, was presented as an inevitability — a given. The only questions were: “How contagious and how deadly will it be?” The rest of the Stupid-19 farce is, as we say, Fake History — well known to “youse guys” by now.
Now, in this period of Q “replay,” we see the very same media outlets replicating the very same initial buzz of 2019-2020. The difference this time around, of course, is that White Hat Productions is running the psyop. To what end? We won’t say with certainty — but we will say, with certainty, that this fake pandemic scare is being run for the same reason (whatever that may turn out to be) as the fake assassination attempt scare, the fake World War III scare, the fake migrant invasion scare (the migrants may be real but the situation is under control) etc.
We are being shown, in play-acted form, exactly what the Deep State Cabal had done and would have done, if still in business. So perhaps, in due time, ALL of these scares will “backfire” (by design) on a Deep State which has, for the most part, already been obliterated. Like Q said, repeatedly: “Sometimes you can’t TELL the public the truth. You must show them.”
And that is really it. The rest, of course, is WWIII stuff playing out all over the place. Really awful stuff, but you can read about all that everywhere else.
Phil won’t be doing a livestream again until Saturday night at 8PM Eastern time.
Meanwhile, enjoy your THURSDAY wherever you are in the world!!
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this!!!
I sure hope I get to see this exhibit, gang. It will travel to other States but I don’t know which ones yet.
Don’t Miss It! Discovering the World of Jesus Exhibition – James Tabor gives a brief overview of the exhibit currently in Atlanta, GA (1 minute):
The Q political faction known as “The Freedom Caucus” has just captured control of its first State House — in the same state of Wyoming which formerly belonged to the Cheney Mafia. This very lengthy Q York Times report about this delightful development not only offers us further confirmation of the ongoing slow motion conservative Q-ification of America, but does so in a neutral journalistic tone which — if one didn’t understand the reality of the COG (Continuity of Government) takeover of major media — would be as surprising as it is perplexing. Before we quote from the article, a bit of historical context regarding the Freedom Caucus movement is in order.
The year was 2015, just a few months before Candidate Trump’s famous announcement ride down the escalator at Trump Plaza in New York. A small group of marginalized “radical right” Congressmen led by Jim Jordan (OH), Ron DeSantis (FL) and Mark Meadows (NC) dared to dream the seemingly (at the time) impossibly absurd dream of wrestling control of the House of Representatives from the useless and corrupt likes of John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, et al. — who are all gone now, by the way!
The Freedom Caucus was dismissed as “fringe” in 2015 and beyond. Today, outspoken members of the expanded faction control the US House of Representatives — although, technically, it’s still just a “make believe” Congress under COG. And now, the FC movement is spreading to the individual state houses of America. Who could possibly have ever foreseen that this fringe ripple would grow into a tidal wave? Answer (surprise surprise) — Q did! […]
Arkansas lawmakers are weighing legislation that could pierce the pharmaceutical industry’s federal liability shield for vaccine injuries by holding corporate executives criminally liable for “vaccine harms” if they concealed evidence of risks associated with a vaccine that subsequently seriously injured or killed the recipient.
Under Senate Bill 6, introduced by Republican State Sen. Bryan King, an executive officer of a pharmaceutical company that “knowingly hides, conceals, omits, or otherwise withholds evidence, documentation, or information that the vaccine has dangerous effects,” would be found guilty of a felony and face a prison sentence of one year to life. […]
And that is it for now! I gotta scoot, but I only have one short midday shift today, so it’s almost like not working at all!! (Except for that hour of driving I have to do).
I didn’t get to watch the entirety of Wim Wenders’ Wings of Desire yesterday, so I will finish it this afternoon. (This is, of course, not counting the millions of times I’ve already watched it.)
And then I am going to watch this —
Ladies Who Do (UK, 1963, Comedy) (1 hr 19 mins):
Anyway. My New Year’s Eve was really nice, once I got home from my shift. I seriously know that 2025 is gonna be a great year, gang, so get ready.
Enjoy your New Year’s Day, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys See ya!
**************
I leave you with this incredible gem!!!!!
I have posted it here before: France Gall, “Laisse tomber les filles”. 1965. A great way to start 2025. Enjoy, gang!!!!!
Andy the Gabby Cabby (UK) – About OUR Money 👀 (4 mins):
*********
After my evening shift is over, this is what I will be watching tonight! On video!! Not even on DVD or streaming.
Wim Wenders’ classic, Wings of Desire, from 1987. Yes (!) it has Nick Cave in it, but it is also just a really great film. (6 minute scene):
***********
And on the home front.
Well, as a very unexpected but incredible way to say hello to the New Year, I am back on the TV pilot project with Peitor Angell and our production company, Abstract Absurdity Productions. (I had stepped down from it back in June because my life had become overwhelming and the TV project is actually quite enormous.)
After a couple of phone conversations with Peitor over in Nice, France, the last couple of days, we came to the decision that I would come back to the project — and we start working on it again on Monday, January 6th, 2025.
So I’m pretty happy about this, gang. I’m in a whole other headspace now than I was back in June.
*********
And that is it for today.
I hope that tonight is filled with all sorts of good omens for you for 2025, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

Morning listening music!! This incredible classic, written by Serge Gainsbourg!
I honestly can’t wait to bid this year a fond farewell, gang.
There are some good things that came from it, obviously, but they are seriously overshadowed by the things that really sucked.
This morning, I was lying in bed, my cup of coffee on the bedside table, the sun was coming up, and I thought to myself: I should have transitioned on December 14th, 2001.
I came to this conclusion primarily because that was the beginning of an extremely brief period in my life where I was living cat-free.
Kitty, the furry little love of my life, had been put to sleep the day before. She was almost 19 years old. She had been a gift to me from Valerie. Kitty had followed her home one day when Kitty was just a few months old.
Valerie already had about 5 cats at that point, living in a railroad flat with her and her girlfriend in Long Island City, Queens, so she said to me, “Do you want a kitten?” and I, living with a platonic gay male roommate and no cats in a railroad flat in Alphabet City, in Manhattan, said, “Yes! I do!”
And for nearly 19 years after that moment, I lived a rather simple existence as far as cats went.
Kitty, painted by Valerie, a few months after Kitty died.
Anyway. On December 14th 2001, I was cat-free, plus I had tons of friends and colleagues all over the world, I had a huge family and I was on reasonably good terms with all them — aunts, uncles, cousins, various parents, siblings, step-siblings, half-siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews. My family was huge. And my first book, Neptune & Surf, had come out the year before to great reviews and it was selling great, and had garnered me some awards; my career was definitely on a rocket to the moon. Technically, I was still married but Wayne and I were living separate lives and discussing a possible divorce.
But it would have been the best time to simply cross-over. Life got really complicated and mostly unhappy after that — not to mention that the cat factor in my life has been off-the-charts since then.
My point is that I love them all but they are a lot of responsibility. And if they all live healthy, natural lives, I’ll be well into my 80s before I’ll be cat-free again, plus I’m gonna have to go through all that grief every time another one of them crosses over.
************
Anyway. On that cheery note…
I have today off!! And it is a beautiful day here. Nothing at all like how a December 30th usually is. It’s sunny, clear, and in the 50s Fahrenheit.
Yesterday, however, was a bit of a nightmare, in that I wound up having to work 3 shifts in a row. The upside was that it saved me 60 miles of driving because I went from one client to the next, but I was really tired when I got home last night.
And all of this exhaustion these days, leads to thoughts like the one above — when would have been the perfect time to cross-over????
Another disappointing thing happened — it turns out that not only are Wayne & I not making the road trip to Kentucky to see Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks, the whole “possibility” was based on a text that had auto-corrected itself to say something entirely different than what it was supposed to say!
So the road trip to Kentucky was never even a possibility and I was so disappointed. I did look into getting myself one ticket to see them at the Beacon Theater in NYC in April, but the price of tickets there are just stupidly sky high. The way-back of the balcony is $88, and the main floor — forget about it!! Jesus, from $580 to $920.
I love them, but, you know… Plus I’d have to plan a trip to NYC around the show, so it gets more expensive by the nanosecond.
Anyway!! I digress!
***********
Phil should be live tonight at 8PM Eastern time. Check here later to confirm.
**********
There was a lot of interesting stuff, “news-wise” yesterday and this morning.
First off, I want to say that I always liked Jimmy Carter even though he was thought to be a lousy President. So it is disheartening to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff coming to light.
I knew that Carter had been mentioned unfavorably in an old Q drop, and Q-followers were saying that “Peanut,” the squirrel that died a few weeks back, was a comm about Carter being dead but that the White Hats hadn’t announced it yet.
So it gets interesting.
So, in the 70s, Jimmy Carter sold the Panama Canal back to Panama for $1.00. And, curiously, Trump has been talking lately about getting that canal back.
Guardian angels activated in the New York City subways!”
************
Interesting. Hopefully you can read this:

From Charlie Ward’s newsletter:
“…global temperatures are now plummeting, and oceans are cooling at an astonishing rate. In the U.K., 2024 is set to mark the second consecutive year of declining temperatures since the so-called “record” year of 2022.
The BBC, among others, recently pushed alarmist claims of record-breaking ocean temperatures, supposedly driven by climate change. Yet, just months later, global sea temperatures have dropped dramatically—down 0.5°C, back to 2015 levels. This rapid cooling, particularly in the Pacific, signals the likely return of a natural La Niña cooling phase, further debunking the endless scaremongering by climate activists.
Meanwhile, land temperatures are also showing signs of decline, as satellite records reveal notable monthly drops. Yet, the usual suspects continue to dismiss natural variations, preferring to pin every weather fluctuation on human activity. Conveniently ignored are explanations like El Niño, reduced cloud cover, and solar activity, all natural factors influencing the recent warming spike….”
Deep State Judge Juan Merchan has become the latest cabalist executed at Guantanamo Bay without first having had a military tribunal. On December 23, Merchan was taken from his cell and brought before a cadre of military brass that had gathered at the gallows to bid him farewell.
As reported previously, US Navy JAG investigators apprehended Merchan at his home in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York, informing him that he was being held to account for a bevy of high crimes, including treason, seditious conspiracy, and defrauding the United States. {…}’
High School history fables taught us that the Spanish-American War of 1898 was a meaningless war instigated by the Yellow Journalist William Randolph Hearst. {…}
[…]The Globo-Zionist crime gang was not nearly as entrenched among the American elite as it is today, but the pernicious influence of the New World Order was indeed growing fast. Money Masters such as Jacob Schiff, John D Rockefeller, Rothschild front-man JP Morgan and others were already on board with the Globalist movement; as were media moguls like Adolph Ochs (NY Times), and the aforementioned Hearst and Pulitzer. America’s potential as a global ‘hit-man’ for the N.W.O. was not lost upon these One Worlders, particularly in regard to establishing a menacing naval presence from which the emerging U.S. bully could influence the affairs of Asia. Thus was born the idea for the first “Asian pivot” – the theft of the Spanish colonies of Guam and the Philippines. […]
And that is it! I’m planning to have a really peaceful day here today. I do believe 2025 is going to be a great year.
Meanwhile…
Have a great December 30th wherever you are in the world!!
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this!
I was looking for a CD to play in the kitchen this morning, and I re-discovered a CD compilation that Peitor Angell had made for me about 14 years ago(!!). He had titled it “Marilyn’s Medicine” and I recalled that he had recorded it to lift my spirits.
I thought to myself; I wonder if this is still my medicine? So I put it in the CD player and immediately my heart just soared, gang. It’s all songs by female French singers from the 1960s.
Here is the first song on the CD. I just love this song and I had forgotten about it. ‘La petite maison bleue” by Dalida. (“The little blue house”). Gorgeous. Give it a listen and see if it lifts your spirits, too, gang! Okay. Enjoy.
From the recent opening of Nick Cave’s art exhibit at the Voorlinden Museum in the Netherlands. (1hr 12 mins):
************ And there’s THIS!!
Apparently, it is open to the public, gang. TONIGHT from 6-10pm, MST, so if you live in Aspen, scurry on over!!!
***********
And there is THIS!!
Wayne and I might be taking a little road trip together in late April to Pikeville, Kentucky, to see Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks!!
Pikeville is only about 4 hours from here, and it’s not only the birthplace of Dwight Yoakam, but also the town where a huge portion of my paternal ancestors lived. (The May family.)
Also, while we’re in Pikeville, we might head over to Robinson Creek and take a look around. My great-great-great grandfather founded the town of Robinson Creek, and way back then he lived on the banks of the actual creek.
Robinson Creek, Kentucky

And here’s a new interview with James Tabor. Jesus’ Resurrection Physical or Spiritual? What Do our Earliest Texts Really Say? (53 mins):
**********
And that’s it for now! I gotta scoot. I might not be posting tomorrow, because I have a double shift that starts early.
Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world!!
Well, the “news” is still really quiet out there . So I don’t have anything to post regarding that.
Although I want to wish a belated happy birthday to Lt. General Mike Flynn (Dec. 24th).
***************
The holidays are essentially over for me. At least that “holiday mindset” is over. I’m just focused on work now, and on getting back to “normal”…
This morning, I had my first phone chat with Sandra since November. We are now officially back to work on “The Guide to Being Fabulous”!! So I feel really hopeful that this will pull me past the slump of missing my dad so much during Christmas. And get me back on track with the rest of my life.
I hope everyone out there has had a great time celebrating, or meeting up with family and friends — however you spend the days surrounding Christmas. I know that for many people, it was just a really weird Christmas this year. I know that I’m already looking forward to next Christmas being a whole lot better.
Meanwhile….
I don’t have to go to my shift until this evening, so I’m getting stuff done around the house today.
Even though I am still really tired, I am bowled over by the beauty of my clients this season.
I was not expecting any gifts or even any cards, but my clients are kind of blowing me away with their kindness. Yesterday, one of my clients gave me a gift and a Christmas card that sort of took my breath away — and when I thanked her for it, the beautiful things she said to me about the job I do for her and her husband brought tears to my eyes.
It’s a difficult mix between knowing I will be alone this Christmas because my dad is gone now and I basically have no family left who are still speaking to me, and my friends are far away, spending Christmas with their families.
So the fact that I will actually be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with clients who genuinely care about me — it is hard to process that mix of gratitude, love, loss.
I have to say, though, I am really looking forward to spending Christmas Day with my 94-year-old Japanese client that I adore so much!!
We have such an incredible time when we are together. He and I have so many unlikely things in common that I could do a whole blog post about it.
When I saw him on Wednesday, in the course of our conversations, he said, “I only have a couple more minutes to live.”
And I said, “Do you think you could hold out for another week, because I’ll be coming here on Christmas and I’d hate to be here all by myself.”
He laughed. and he said, “Okay. I’ll hold on another week…”
I’m expecting Christmas Day with him to be just beautiful.
************
Anyway. I digress!
There is NO NEWS, gang!! It’s getting insane! The amount of stuff that they are pretending is happening that is not really happening….
I’ve been to Telegram, YouTube, Truth Social, Rumble, X….. and it is all the same.
This is not “news” but it’s interesting, if not sickening. You should probably read it.
“…Most Americans over the age of 45, and certainly all readers of The Anti-New York Times, should already know that Fidel Castro was a Communist dictator who ruined Cuba — driving its mostly White upper and middle classes to flee to Florida while the communist state and its rabble hordes dispossessed productive Cubans who stayed. There was celebration in the Cuban enclaves of Union City, NJ and Miami, FL when the unrepentant old bastard finally died in 2016..
Of more interest to our eager students of real history is the long-since forgotten story of the mighty media organization that dusted off the badly defeated rebel, put him back on his feet, and helped to install him as dictator. That’s right, boys and girls. Without the maneuvering of Sulzberger’s Slimes (aka “the paper of record”) — specifically the pro-communist correspondent Herbert Matthews(cough cough) — and the Evil Eisenhower-Dulles State Department, Castro’s revolution of 1959 would never have succeeded..[…]”
Nick Cave sent out the best Red Hand File yesterday!! It’s all about how he is going to be spending Christmas — with his family, and going to church.
I have to tell you, gang, just knowing that he is going to have such a perfect Christmas is going to make my own Christmas that much happier. It really is. I’m going to get a lot of joy out of just thinking about it.
He said, in part:
“…And somewhere, amid the feasting and joyful human messiness – this beautiful, this happy, this sorrowful estate – I will acknowledge how extraordinarily fortunate my family and I are to have this good Christmas Day. I will remember, too, amongst all the making and the doing, the energising principle around which this day revolves that speaks so eloquently of rebirth and renewal, and the end to waiting – that of a mother bearing a child in a stable, revitalising the world for all eternity.”
Our random selection comes from Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations. And the topic is — CHILDREN (!!).
Keith says:
“They give you that little bit — that important bit of living when you absolutely don’t know shit about nothing.”
Who could say it better ???

And that is actually it for today. I essentially have the “whole day off”, but then, tonight, I will be with that sweet 99-year-old blind lady, who lives out in the middle of deep, dark, snowy nowhere with 3 huge happy dogs and two big rascally black cats.
It’s a full house and it’s full of love, gang.
Okay.
Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this.
The 94-year-old Japanese man had the great good fortune of seeing “South Pacific” on Broadway (in 1950), back when it was brand new and the legendary Mary Martin was starring in it.
What a fantastic show it is– the music, alone, is incredible. Imagine anyone being able to experience that show, live, on stage, when it was brand new. Let alone, being a young Japanese-American, who spent his childhood in Japan, during WWII, then returning to NYC at age 17, and then seeing a show like “South Pacific”.
He and I discuss that show all the time, actually. It’s a show I just love. And I adored Mary Martin when I was a little girl.
Last night, by candlelight, I lay in my bed, listening to a few of the songs from “South Pacific”, but once I landed on the song below, I couldn’t stop playing it!!! “This Nearly Was Mine”. I just kept thinking about the miracle that I have even met this amazing man so late in his life. It is such a blessing to me, to be able to hear about the stories of his life — they are extraordinary. Okay. Enjoy, gang!!
“This Nearly Was Mine”
One dream in my heart One love to be livin’ for One love to be livin’ for This nearly was mine
One girl for my dream One partner in paradise This promise of paradise This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came Only to fly away Only to fly as day flies from moonlight Now, now I’m alone Still dreamin’ of paradise Still sayin’ that paradise Once nearly was mine
I’ll keep rememberin’ kisses From lips I’ve never owned And all the lovely adventures That we have never known
One dream in my heart One love to be livin’ for One love to be livin’ for This nearly was mine
Nothing but optics and psyops, for as far as the eye can see, across all the lands, hither and yon.
Phil posted that he had HUGE news and will try to do a livestream soon. Of course, the stock markets are also tanking, so his huge news might have something to do with buying gold and silver. I guess we’ll see.
Meanwhile — here is an example of the endless stuff I see constantly right now. Anytime you see or hear the number 17 these days, it’s a sure sign that it’s a Q-related psyop. [Q being the 17th letter of the alphabet.]
The formerly holy and exalted post-World War II institution of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) coming up short on its spending targets, in spite of a “war” going in the Ukraine, — coupled with Commander Trump‘s mounting threats to pull out of the already defanged organization — are just further indicators that the New World Order is dead. All that remains now is the play-acted closing drama to start in 2025. […]
Among the religious devotees and dupes of NWO Globalism, NATO ranks right up there with the UN, the WHO, the EU, the World Bank and the IMF as an “indispensable” institution of “global stability.” The truth is, that from its inception to the present day, NATO — a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CIA which itself was founded just two years before NATO — has always been a enforcement racket in service to the Globalists.
The origin of NATO traces back to the Treaty of Brussels of 1948 among Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the UK — four European states which had conspired to start World War II in the first place […]”
If you scroll down to the bottom of the article, you find the passage about Solomon dealing with the Queen of Sheba’s hairy legs. It is actually pretty interesting.
However, if you read the whole article, you’ll see how, depending on which religious texts you are studying, the stories of Biblical characters can often change greatly. (Which is why, long, long ago, among myriad other things, some people were taught that Jesus never married, while others were taught that he was married to Mary Magdalene, and so they worshipped her as much as they worshipped Jesus.)
Actually, yesterday, I was with my 94-year-old Japanese client. He was a ministerial student while also attending NYU — back in the 1950s. So we talk about God and Christianity a lot.
And yesterday, in the course of our conversations, I mentioned something about Christmas not really being Jesus’s birthday and he had never heard that before.
However, Pope Julius I, in the 4th Century AD, declared December 25th to be Jesus’ birthday. This was allegedly to help Pagans be more comfortable just celebrating Christ right along with the Winter Solstice.
And even though Orthodox and Ethiopian churches consider Christmas to be in January, even longer ago than that, Jesus’ birthday was celebrated on (what we would call) April 17th, around 6 BC.
So it all depends on what you’re studying.
But me and the Japanese man concluded that it doesn’t make Christmas any less joyful.
*************
I apparently digress!
Oh, however, I should probably tell you now, in case I forget– I saw my schedule for January, gang, and it looks like the agency has finally settled on a truly manageable schedule for me! Only 3 double shifts in the whole month, plus I’ve got plenty of room to finally set up a writing schedule for myself again.
So I might actually start being a sane person sometime soon. We can only hope. I know that I’m getting pretty tired of constantly feeling like I’m out of my fucking mind…

Our Daily Feature!
What Would Keith Richards Do?
We are right back into Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations. And the topic is SHOW BUSINESS.
Keith maintains:
“I go onstage to get some fucking peace and quiet.”
I’m sure we can all relate….

And that is it for today!
Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.

I leave you with this morning’s Christmas breakfast-listening-music!!
We’ve moved on to the fantastic Andy Williams Christmas album. (Yes, in fact it IS occurring to me that I am getting really old. Thank you very much!) Anyway.
“Do You Hear What I Hear?” Andy Williams. From 1965. (But it’s STILL a great fucking Christmas album!!!!) Okay. Enjoy, gang!
Yesterday was a great day! Not only was the weather gorgeous, but also, Kara and I had such a nice time celebrating her birthday at our favorite Mexican restaurant. No, not the one we go to when we drive a million miles to see a movie, but this one, which is much, much closer:
Yes, Tequilaville!
And even though it looks like some sort of drab warehouse from the outside, it is incredibly festive inside right now — Christmas lights and ornaments strung everywhere. Plus, the food is just really good.
However, my Q-following friend — the one I’m having a pre-Christmas lunch with on Saturday afternoon, after my morning shift — well, she texted me in the middle of the night and said she’d rather go to Tequilaville for lunch on Saturday instead of the Peony Bistro (directly across the street from there — Chinese & Japanese food), like we were planning. Not wanting to hurt her feelings and say that I’d just eaten at Tequilaville 5 minutes ago, I texted back: “Okay!”
So now I have to drum up some other friend and go to the Peony Bistro some other day, because I was really kind of looking forward to having Chinese food for a change.
************
All right.
There’s a lot of interesting stuff going on out there right now, gang, but it’s still just a ton of optics.
If you follow Q, then you know that this is a really exciting time because the Q comms & deltas are just piling up all over the place. But other than that, you can get the “news” all over the place.
Instead!!
We will dedicate this post to not only wishing Keith Richards a happy 81st birthday, but also wishing Keith & Patti a happy anniversary!! (And, btw, that beautiful family has grown since that photo was taken!!)
***************
And in keeping with our Keith theme– here’s our Daily Feature!
What Would Keith Richards Do?
And as luck would have it, we landed back in the chapter A Chronology of Trouble. Yay! This is another weird one — it concerns the seemingly endless feud between Keith and Mick in the 1980s:
“The Brenda Years and WWIII: Keith comes across a book by an author named Brenda Jagger at a Paris bookstore near the very same apartment he couldn’t find a few years earlier. He now refers to Mick as “Brenda”. Tensions between Keith and newly named “Brenda” get worse. Keith claims he’s gearing up to replace Brenda with Roger Daltrey.”
No comment, I guess.
*************
Meanwhile, have a great Wednesday, wherever you are in the world! I will attempt to brighten my mood here before I have to leave for my shift, even though the rain is kind of getting me down…
Thanks for visiting, though.
I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with a nice blend of Keith and Christmas!
Keith Richards and the X-pensive Winos do their version of Chuck Berry’s “Run, Run Rudolph”. From 1992. Enjoy!!
