An Early Christmas Gift
My current state of affairs has left me with little to enjoy lately, mainly my soul source of joy is spending time with my kids… And they haven’t been around much lately. But last night I got to enjoy one of my simple pleasures…. A car chase! But not on TV, it came right by me on Lankershim on my way home, my Mom had called and tipped me off that there was drama in the hood, but at first it looked like it would come nowhere near me, but then they turned around. My mom even saw my car on the news as they passed me… What can I say, it doesn’t take much to amuse me I guess.
I got my little Christmas tree today… Now I just need those kids to decorate it. Lucy informed me that she had decorations her mother didn’t want to bring over, she was excited about it, so I too had to act excited… But I’m sure this will be like when we moved out of our house, I will be left with all the junk she didn’t want.
I can’t tell you how much I love the CRN peeps… They are working so hard to try and make things happen for us. Don’t forget, Friday the 18th at the CRN Studios in Sun-Land, the Jack and Stretch Unofficial Christmas Party and Hanukkah Hoedown!
I am BBQing right now as I write… It may be a little cold, but it’s not too cold to “Q”! Although, they are saying the rain will start up again tonight.
I noticed a lack of Christmas spirit (Not that I have much) as I was out running errands… I did not hear holiday music in any of the stores I visited, The bell ringer out Ralph’s was just sitting there not ringing and decorations around town seem to be at a minimum, maybe things will kick up a notch as we get closer?
I guess cheating is good for the economy. 2 in the top 5 isn’t bad. His truck hated him. Your heart wants bread! Godzilla attacks Mexico. Someone stole my X. Kiss my grits. TV pays when man loses bet. The happiest convict on earth. Norway spiral no longer mystery. A sassy holiday event. Can you kill my killer? This explains Clear Channel management.
Rock On, Jack

Buy a package of construction paper and let them color on shapes and hang those by pipe cleaners or paper clips too. String Popcorn, get some candy canes. The kids will be proud to hang their handmade ornaments on the tree. Do the poor mans advent calendar too, make construction paper loops to make a chain, one for each day left before Christmas and cut one off each day (or let them), indicating how much longer till Christmas, we always loved that as a kid.
You could probably make dough ornaments too, I am sure you have Christmas or other cookie cutters. Or you can always freestyle it!

I LOVE car chases! =D One passed my old apt on the way to LAX I was giddy! ha. & maybe its the Ralphs ringers because one was reading a book and only rang her bell by default while turning the pages!
Merry Christmas! =D

The construction paper loops was my favorite thing to do at Christmas when I was in elementary school! Every day you got to tear one off.

I was just saying to myself, Jack, I don’t have enough excitement…and last night, a car chase. That pit maneuvor was amazing–that car didn’t get crunched. I was thinking that “Jack might live near here, I hope he’s alright.” I’m glad you didn’t get in an accident from that bone head.
I hope you have happy decorating. I have to agree with the homemade ornaments. Those are things you can’t buy and your ex won’t have.

Hey Jack!!
Since I left radio, I became a dispatcher for the SD Sheriff’s Dept. so car chases have strangely become business as usual for me! Lol! They are super exciting though, aren’t they?!?
Long time, no talk, I hope you are well!!
