Happy New Year! Wow is that red and green thing annoying or what? At least I didn't make it blink or something. Anyway Happy New year everyone and I hope we all woke up this morning fresh and ready to take on the world!!! I think most might just want a cup of coffee and an Aspirin.Then we start to break all of the New Year resolutions we made. Yep, what's a cup of Java without a smoke and and a sugar doughnut. I mean what the hell, I can always start tomorrow when I go to work and it's easier to avoid these things but today I just want to enjoy all the stuff I am supposed to be giving up just one last time. I love this quote from Mark Twain: "New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions."

Got to take down the pool, put away the badminton set, stowaway the croquet set , hide away the habatchi grill, batten down the boat or hatches or whatever it's called.

I wash my jersey at the beginning of the season and not until the end will it get washed again. Sounds nasty and can smell nasty but that is what we do!! I am rambling now so I'll be quiet. Be...
It seems that the "Fortune Cookie" is more than just a cookie. I say this because of a recent event that occurred. Before I get to that I was curious about where the cookie came from so I Goggled it like any good blogger would and this is what I found.......... " Chinese or Japanese, Angelino or San Franciscan? One history of the fortune cookie claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles and founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, invented the cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor he saw wandering near his shop, he created the cookie and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational Bible scripture on it, written for Jung by a Presbyterian minister. Another history claims that the fortune cookie was invented in San Francisco by a Japanese immigrant named Makoto Hagiwara. Hagiwara was a gardener who designed the famous Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park. An anti-Ja...
