Merry Holidays

This was my favorite message written on a card this year from a dear friend,

May God give you . . .

• Protection

• An open mind

• Enlightenment

• True Love

• Integrity

These are the greatest gifts to me.

I couldn’t agree more.

Merry Christmas with the Blues Bashers and Chuck Luden

CHRISTMAS  ESCAPE

I’m in orbit

You know what I mean

Like gone man

The music sends me there

Where is she?

I’m walking alone

Perpetual what?

There yeah now

Wow!

Note: One night after a poetry reading at the Horse Barn some of us went to Grille 26.  I opened my notebook and read this poem to the group.  Another poet at the table (M.J.) said, “What does that have to do with X-mas?” I guess my Christmases are unique. – C.L.

Happy Holidays to all of my readers

Even if some of you dislike me.

I would especially like to thank a group of people who help me to keep abreast on the issues, your support is invaluable and I truly appreciate it;

Theresa, Kermit, Cheryl, Helga, Jonathan, Debra, Greg, and Kenny.

There are many others, but they would probably prefer I didn’t mention their names. So here is a wink and nod.
