My Grandfather was from Canada

He told me he used to ride a dogsled to school.

He lied.

I wish I’d seen this post at Max’s years ago- it would have explained a lot. And I still wouldn’t be smarting over the fact no one really rides a dog sled to school.

They don’t do they?

 OR
how I survive the holidays

    1 cup of dark brown sugar
    1 cup (2 sticks) butter
    1 cup of granulated sugar
    4 large eggs
    2 cups of dried fruit, such as dried cranberries or raisins
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp fresh lemon juice
    1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila (silver or gold, as desired)
 
Sample the Cuervo to check quality.
 
Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
 
Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case.
 
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.  Pick the frigging fruit off floor.
 
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
 
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
 
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something.  Check the Jose Cuervo.
 
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
 
Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.  Don’t forget to beat off the turner.
 
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.

If you kill a River and the people who were part of that River died as an indirect result of that action…is it murder?

Just Wondering.

New Mexico is Boss!

Why is New Mexico Boss?

Because they have the Spaceballs to run ads like this:

And they have events like

The Roswell UFO Festival

New Mexico….you rule!

This little bit o’ fun  was a challange from Kitty:

So here is your assignment for today, dear readers. Find a song that inspires you to write something, whether it gives you an idea for a script or just puts you into a better frame of mind 

Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before….

When I write my stories  that I like to think of as “Grave Tales” I always reach for my Elvis tunes and I play this one first…actually I listen to it a lot when I’m writing.

It’s been the ‘back beat’ for stories like

Grave Thoughts

Saturnina Hits The Deck

Midnight Conversation at Riversleigh

By Livia Longyear

annndddd here it is!

Way Down Lyrics (Elvis Presley)

Babe, you’re getting closer
The lights are goin’ dim
The sound of your breathin’
Has made the mood I’m in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I’ve never been before

 

Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

 

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

 

Ooh, my head is spinnin’
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can’t describe

 

Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

 

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let’s go

 

Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down, way, way on down

Keep Up The  Good ( har har ) work.”
