Christmas Party Tonight
Tonight is the night for the Christmas party and there are two things I hope happens! First I hope I'm welcomed by all the employees and perhaps dance with a few of them and my wife. Although she's been telling me I'm going to make her fall in high heels on the dance floor! Secondly, I hope she can grab the right number for one of those envelopes with the money in it. If not perhaps she can get a big prise from the table as they usually have some pretty good stuff on the table covered up and guarded closely by the plain clothes police. I bet they get paid good for 4 or 5 hours off duty work. Then it's back in uniform on Monday at the banks.
I'm going to get a couple hours sleep so I can be at my best tonight. The sad part about today and this morning is the returning troops from Iraq and the wounded warriors coming back feeling exhausted from the long plane rides before arriving in Fort Hood. Then those spouses and family members who were expecting their loved one but on very short notices now know they are not arriving on this flight. This reminds me of how it was in Vietnam when the troops were returning home and so many didn't.
There is still 15 days before Christmas and the stores are crowded to the max. I hope most of the members here has completed their shopping lists and sitting safely at home sipping a warm or hot drink of some kind. It's no fun being out shopping plus there is always somebody trying to get something by taking it from others. I can say the police presents were everywhere. Why would anybody risk going to jail for robbery especially the elderly and disabled persons. It's not worth it but I guess they just don't care.
All of you be safe, stay safe when you are out shopping someone is watching you for sure! Have a safe weekend.
Fred!
