I just bought some Christmas cards on ebay , it's a VW bug and a Christmas
tree is driving with a man tied on top- I don't know why but I still laugh
when I think about it. Hey maybe I can do that for the parade next year,
think Steve is too heavy? We're going to go look for a tree today, still
can't do a fake one even if I have allergies, I started collecting the toys
I got for Christmas as a child, tinkertoys, dishes, old monopoly, spinning
top, no VW's sad huh.
Enjoyed your John Lennon story Denis,it was a very sad day. I remember I was
very pregnant with Ty had him on the 13th.

"Fatal Justice" is one of my favorites as well.
I have heard it a couple times now and still enjoy it.
I think it is the settings.
I telling of "Fatal Justice" after the ES show was classic.
Even with the mangled toe Denis was sporting.
