HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We spent a few hours in the hot springs at Tonopah on Sunday with a bunch of friends. Then we headed over to the annual New Year's Party where we actually whooped it up way past midnight. And all because of the word "succulent." You see, one of the attendees was given a book called "Succulent Wild Woman," and one of the guys at the party, a tall, black gay fellow with a great voice, kept repeating the word "succulent" over and over with different inflections. You had to be there (indeed, most of the party attendees had gone home by this time) but it was extremely hilarious.
------
So they executed Saddam Hussein. I guess it goes to show you that some people will go to any lengths to prove the old adage that "Celebrity Deaths Come In Threes."
------
Speaking of which, I only saw James Brown in person once. He sang the Star Spangled Banner at a Suns game. WITH his background singers. It was a thrill.
------
Oh, and Gerald Ford? The first president I ever voted against. Thanks, Jerry!
Ford was the oldest living president ever. Followed by Reagan, then John Adams. I'm not sure who's next but they're long out of the running, unless Jimmy Carter sticks around another 15 years or so.
So who's left? Bush Sr., Carter, Clinton. Need to get more ex-presidents. Hurry up, 2008.
