Place: Detention hall Comments: Yes, I know. I should have typed "you two" instead of "you too". Sorry Ada Ann and please don't tell your mom, the school teacher.
Place: Sachse Comments: Happy Anniversary Ada Ann and Joe. Hope you too had a great celebration. Well, back to gift wrapping...busy, busy, busy...
Place: 66erville Comments: Happy Anniversary Jada!!! Thanks for the update, John. I was beginning to think you had gone a trip, the batteries in your GSP died and you were lost. I thought "Worth Dying For" was Dale's memoirs of dating and being married to Y!
Place: Richardson Comments: We spent the wkend in Hstn visiting w/Don's mom & his brother James & family. It was actually cold down there too! Had to wear a jacket if outside. Bro James is doing so much better. Not able to return to work for quiet a while, as full recovery is slow, but he is recovering. Thank all of you so much for the many prayers when he was so ill.  Ada Ann - A very Happy Anniversary to you & Joe. 40 yrs yesterday . . . wow! Where has the time gone? Seems only a few yrs ago you & Joe and me & ? were celebrating New Years Eve at the lake with a camp fire roasting wieners & marshmallows!! Remember . . . ? Give Joe my best, love you guys!
Place: Garland Comments: Don L....have you enjoyed a little too much of that lightly colored adult beverage or what? Oh well....happy anniversary to Ada and Joe Wingate....40 short years today! She claims he is still putting up with her after all this time but I think he's definitely the lucky one! JD....your little (Ha!Ha!) message was so funny because it is so true about most of us (myself excluded of course..lol). Bruce was in stitches as I read it to him while he was preparing breakfast for us! Gotta run...breakfast is ready! Thanks to everyone for the Christmas cards! We really enjoyed them!
Place: The Woodlands, TX Comments: Christmas Greetings to the good folks of the Class of '66! I've been layin' low (from ragging on you guys) since I picked up a metal detector in early September. It's been great fun trying to liberate a 100 yr. old coin from the Texas soil. Then as an adjunct hobby I drifted into "geocaching". Kind of a high-tech treasure hunt in which you use a GPS receiver to hunt down hidden caches. Turns out they're almost everywhere. This morning I had the pleasure of breakfast with Smiley who was briefly in town taking a break from his ranching duties. He loaned me a book worth dying for. Let me restate that: He loaned me a book - "Worth Dying For" ... the latest Lee Child adventures of Jack Reacher. I'm set for some cozy holiday reading.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Just about the time I was starting to shed a few lbs, along comes the holidays. So, I'm back on the liquid diet, again - let the PA Dutch flow ... sinfully delicious!

Place: 66 Wisconsin Comments: This is exactly why I can't wait for retirement so I can go home and vegetate... A good laugh for people in the Should I really join Facebook? over 50 group !!! Also for those who know people like us. When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of my grand kids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag. The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship. When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me. To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet, I answered no, but I do toot a lot! Now...please will all my friends from SOC 66 please have a Great, Wonderful and Merry Christmas!!!
