Bix- Great idea, cleaning off the snow to drill hole in ice. Kinda has a "Grumpy old Men " look to it.
Mole- Love that Hoosier movie! Only channel I have on all day and some nites is the old movie one. Love the black and whites and movies from the 40's. Don't make em like that anymore. God, does sound like I'm old?!
Speaking of old, on our last trip, in 5 minutes after check-in, I lost my room key, Larry happily, not, went back to parking garage to car , twice to find it> When got to room and were going out again, he had promptly lost his key. All in a 20 minute time span. I started laughing and told him it's a good thing we are too old to have small children in our charge, cause we probably would have misplaced them by now. Ha! Also, for those who have retired, a heads up. Since everyday is Saturday for retirees, please keep in mind that isn't correct for others who aren't. Made a call to grandaughter, to have her answer, G-ma I'm in class, both of us were busted, her for having phone in class, me for being senile, thinking it was Saturday! Well, better try to see if I can make a call on my remote and change the channel on the phone, will let ya know how that comes out. Admit it you've done it too. Radio

Gary: Hazel Jane and Gavon would be a pretty cute couple, but you need to warn him...she rules the roost with Benjamin and I am pretty sure she would want to lead. (Do prom goer's still slow dance?...does anybody still slow dance???) I was out of high school before I figured out what it meant when someone said "I am off like a prom dress".
These kissing lips on the background remind me of Rocky Horror Picture Show. "Damn it, Janet"

Wonder if they'll still have camo dresses and tux's? And Janet that is the first time I'd heard that expression! This rock I'm under is getting heavy!!!!

Love The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Susan Sarandon was great in it, a little before Thelma and Louise, which is ONE of my favorites. But, my favorite movie of all time......Awakenings.
Along the lines of Frank-n-Furter, how about "Young Frankenstein?!" Another classic.

Those of you who attended Whittier may remember Tom Spitsnogle. I just discovered that Tom had passed away last March in Georgia.
Tom was a participant in the epic Park-Whittier football games. His family moved to Lincoln for his junior high years. He was a graduate of Lincoln Southeast and UNL. As I recall, he was good friends with Footie and they stayed in touch through student council activities after Tom moved.
RIP Tom.

Thanks Mole,
Tom played the bass clarinet, I played the baritone. He and I both were taught to read bass clef music at Whittier, shared the same sheet music during practice. Had cub scout meetings at his house.
Sorry to know another one "our age" is gone too soon......

I played hookie at Tom's house a couple of times, across the street from the Junior High. We had some fun and he was a great guy. I've thought of him a bunch of times.

Happy February, everyone!
Congratulations to all you expectant grandparents. Am new to the game, but enjoying every minute of it!
Yes, Mole, I do remember Tom Spitsnogle. He lived next door, or very close to Georgenne. Wondered what had happened to him. It is truly sad to hear another of our class is gone.
Been pretty busy packing up stuff and getting ready to move. Put our house on the market; enough of the lawn and snow scooping. Have found a duplex where they do all that and more! Hate to admit it has come to that, but we still have the farm to take care of when we are wondering what to do. Should have made the move six years ago, but were steered in another direction. All in all, moving is right up there with hanging by your fingernails! Awful!!!!!
Valentines Day always reminds me of the carnations we sent to each other in Jr. High. Still wonder who sent me the one that said "Your Secret Admirer". It's never too late to own up!? How many colors of carnations were there and what did each color represent? Did any of you send a carnation to a teacher? Brown-nosing at its best!
I may have sent one to Miss James or Miss Lindstrom since my math grades always hinged a bit on the dark side. I'm sure my mom made me send one though, "it just never hurt!"
Bet lots of girls secretly sent one to Don Brewer-we all thought he was such a Stud-Muffin!
Gotta go tote another barge and lift another bale.....
Take care!

THAT WAS BIX!
The other was Celia's secret Valentine. And I'm pretty sure neither of us is really responsible for it, but want the credit anyway.

It dumped on us, at least a foot of snow and blowing. Hunkering down,took pics can't get em loaded here. Supposed to speak at meeting in the big town of Boelus tomorrow, not sure can even get out of driveway, kinda wanted to go so I could see what genius scheduled an event on Super Bowl Sunday!!!! Painer get the gun! A groundhog named Phil has a big target on his back! Snow is heavy, cable keeps going out, waiting for the power to check out too. Love Nebraska, 3 days ago, didn't wear a coat.
Nan- How did ya like the Blues Brothers at Merryman? Awesome talent! Songs and atmosphere, deja vu! love ya guys!
Celia- moving really is awful, but will enjoy no maitenance, except for Chuck!

Barb/Radio - The 'Official Blues Brothers Revue' at the Merryman Performing Arts Center (our old junior high stage)was sensational! Thought about everybody around/about our age who would have loved it. The real show-stopper was their one-and-only female singer from LA who sang Aretha Franklin's 'Think/R-E-S-P-E-C-T' and James Brown's 'It's A Man's World' - totally blew everyone away to the point where I'm still speechless.
A somewhat interesting anecdote regarding the Super Bowl: Danny Woodhead (who is listed on the roster as being 5'8") of the New England Patriots is from North Platte, NE. He tried to get recruited by the Huskers, but was told he was too small and would never go anywhere; went on and played football for Chadron State and broke just about every football record possible. It's great that he went on to play pro ball, despite the odds. Way to go, Danny, and go Patriots!
Celia - Hope to see you when I visit out your way. My brother, Jim, (Class of 1967) retired and moved to Fort Collins, CO last summer. Loveland is just next door, so hope to see you out Colorado-way one of these days!

Nan: Would have loved to see the show on the Merryman stage. I always think of our spring performance in jr. high when Debbie Grassmeyer wore a go-go dress with layers of fringe. Gotta hand it to Don Brewer...he always had fun stuff for us.
THE one and only Aretha is performing here in Atlanta at the Fox theatre (on Peachtree St.) on MARCH 5. Who wants to come??? I'll try to get us tickets and I have plenty of room for guests. Takers?

O.K. Neither one of you guys (Bix or Painer) are the true sender of the Valentine Carnation....Bix, you still lived in G.I. and Painer, you just thought I was only a Sunday School fixture. I really think it was my lifetime friend, Nancy L. She knew my valentines would be limited, so we always had each other's back.
Nan, would love to see you if you head to Ft. Collins. We could do lunch at the Centerra Mall or lots of fun stuff in Olde Towne Ft. Collins-either way. I found some great pictures of Camp Kiwanis as I was digging through stuff; you would love them! What memories!
Barb, we got hammered with about a foot of snow here too. Guess Oshkosh got about 3 flakes, but further east 40 miles @ Ogallala got slammed too. Go figure...
Neat story about the football player from North Platte...guess I now know who I'll be rooting for! Didn't really know until this moment and of course I want Painer's Pats to win! No dirty e-mails to Chuck, Painer, during the Super Bowl; we will be in "mixed company".
Would love to see Aretha Franklin, Janet!!! She and Diana Ross are my favs. Of course, if you would top it off with Tina Turner, I'd be right there!
Candi, got to stay true to your Pats---Go Patriots!
Happy Super Bowl, y'all!

Here is a cute cartoon for a bit of color.
Hopefully the Boston TE Party will do great, since Gronk will play. I want to win, but I am really hoping that it is not like the last SB against the Giants. That was too sad to talk about back here. GO PATRIOTS!
Sadly it was not to be, however good game with interesting mistakes.

If you look carefully just above the roof you can see a small puff of "Warmth" coming out of the furnace flue.
