Last Post of '05

This is it, blog fans. This is the last post I will write this year. I am tempted to do a "year in review" thing, but that's what the archives or "Previous Bits of Wisdom/Lunacy" section of my blog is for. Instead I will look forward to the events of this weekend. Bethany and I will be in Branson with Grant and Brenda to ring in the New Year in style. We will be staying in a 5-Star resort thanks the the Barnes' time share. It will cost even less than the rates at a "No-Tell Motel" and if we sit thru their one hour sales pitch trying to get us to buy a time share, they'll pay us $50. That will more than pay for one of the three nights we are spending there. As for ringing in the New Year, we will be at the local orphanage reading to blind kids with polio and giving blood and money to the Red Cross. Getting drunk is so 1990. Its high time we did something "for the kids" for a change. Of course we'll get up early on New Year's day and go to church and then volunteer at the Branson area "Washed-Up Country and Western Singers" soup kitchen. It should be a very gratifying New Year's weekend. I hope yours will be just as good. See you in '06!
