My New Year’s Celebration tonight consists of Rogue Brewing Dead Guy Ale and The Los Angeles Kings at the Calgary Flames.
That being said, Missus ORPO and I send Best Wishes for an Outstanding New Year!
I wish The Captain and MSGT Buck were still here………….Yeah, I miss both of them. So I did have a little toast to both of our dearly departed friends……………………………gettin dusty in here all of a sudden.
The Lexicans 
Top of the morning, and year, to one and all.
What a time to be alive!
Better year for all I pray. Yesterday was not so good, had to choose between which of two funerals to attend. One man, a retired Army LtCol in his 80’s, simply went to sleep and never woke up. The other man, a retired 777 Captain, Air Force A7 and F4 driver, fought brain cancer for most of his retirement. Both men strong in the faith, a blessing for the families.
Starting my afternoon with some ‘nog and Elijah Craig. Once again I say “Hand Salute!”
“Ready, Two.”
Sigh.
