Well, the lighting of the Christmas, er - Holiday, tree took place yesterday in Kensington. Despite the wishes of the city council, hundreds of Santa Clauses showed up, and one did, in fact, ride in on a fire truck - as had been done in years past. No comment was forthcoming from the chair of the council.
Secretary Rumsfeld has a message for the remaining defenders of the Talibums in Afgoneistan. It is very simple; sufficiently so that I think they should understand: Surrender, or die. There are reports the remaining enemy elements in Kandahar are considering defying the Mullah and are contemplating surrender.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Since it seems to be a question that is in the minds of several, I thought it would be a good thing to answer it on the thread (yikes! .. do I sound like Martha Stewart? ... believe me, I'm her antithesis .... LOL!).
If I post a reply to you, by putting your name in the To box when I post a reply, then you are duly *pinged* .... or *flagged* (another term that means the same thing).You can find your *pings* by doing a self-search from the Latest Posts page. All the posts you have made as well as all the replies made to you recently will show up there.
Also, if I know of a subject that you are interested in and see a thread on that subject, I can *ping* you by posting a reply on the thread and putting your screen name in the To box ..... then you'll be able to find the thread by doing a self-search.
Don't hesitate to ask such questions on the thread ..... if you wonder, then probably someone else does, too .... :-)

gc6, indeed I do remember the bouncing ball singalongs in the movie theaters. My favorite was Daisy (on a Bicycle Built for Two). Great memories!
Guenevere, Kathy Lee may have been on the Mitch Miller shows after I stopped watching. I do remember Leslie Uggams, though - and guess what she had in common with Kathy Lee? They both were on versions of Name that Tune!
