it was the night after Christmas and all through the barndo…

Dec 26, 2022

My photography skills were about as low as they’ve ever been during this year’s Christmas gathering. The only image worth even sharing is this one… and it’s marginal. 🙂

But the night AFTER Christmas there are a few creatures stirring. This one, for example:

Colette got a record player and I learned that vinyl records are the hot thing again. It was like a blast from the past! I remember as a kid we had more than one — a cabinet type in the living room and a smaller one in the bedroom. As I got a little older, the one in the pool room played a whole lot of Waylon, Willie, Hank Jr., and Jessie Colter.

Coco loves Michael Jackson so we purchased a couple long-play vinyls (records in old person speak), and we threw in a Pink Floyd just because. But if I hear the song “Money” (official video on youtube) one more time within the next 10 years it will be one time too many. This new suitcase record player allows the speed to be changed. For the record, (pun intended) I can sing “Money” on every speed… no matter how fast or slow it’s played. 😏

Get back
I’m alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.

Here’s hoping you had a fabulous Christmas filled with family and just a little quiet time to recover. 🙂 And money.

TIL (Today I Learned): Per NPR, the Bald Eagle population has recovered. They are now fairly common birds to be seen in residential areas.
