I am a firm believer in an Abraham Lincoln post: "People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." I've made up mind that I am going to be happy and I am.
Poppy.....I have the prescription for you....the Christmas dinner must include a small side dish of yeah.......either of the New Mexico State Question .......the question being........Red? or Green?.....which is what every eater is asked when ordering foods from restaurants in our State.....but don't be skeptical as there is a reason why this question became so popular here. Yes it brings about happiness and it is true science. That green or red New Mexico Chile whether it comes from Chimayo or Hatch or other places in New Mexico will hit you with varying amounts of heat that simultaneously provides an enjoyable flavor that corresponds to how hot you can stand to eat the Chile. All the time that you are engaging in this eating process the green chile is triggering the firing of endorphins to the brain again in ratio to the heat. Some people also enjoy this firing of endorphins from eating various forms of chocolate.......but the hit from Green Chile from New Mexico is a much more powerful endorphin enabling compound. You can internet order this from various places if you just search the internet for Hatch Chile or Chimayo Chile....sources are plentiful but it is also marketed as such in Arizona and Texas from copy cats that don't have the type of soils found in New Mexico. Laws have been passed in this state to try and cut down this fake marketing.
Happiness is a boiled egg with airmen in the morning...no soldiers..just lightly buttered cut fingers of bread...airmen...sodiers in my house..?
While I lived in ABQ, I nearly always went with the green. Just a preference I guess. Sure do miss all those great restaurants there too! Feliz Navidad!
I'd go red, prolly could only handle green...Yes, missing the buzz from hot foods. Also the buzz from pizza/subs etc. ..Thank god for wine. And wasabi. Worked night shifts @ a Japanese wasabi plant when I first started business. They made excellent wasabi/oriental mustard. I guess our soil is perfect for making eyewatering horseradish here. You can mix the wasabi powder with beer(hot hot) wine (mellow) water etc. The guy who had to bag the mustard would get the powder in his rubber gloves, and at shift end- he'd have these gawd awful blisters. He was proud of it. I would have sued.....Heaven forbid you should make a serious mistake and have to wear the yellow ribbon of shame. ...I will decide to become, umm, young and handsome again. Still buff though.
Happy is as Happy does. Kind of hard to not be giddy when a 2 1/2 year old Grandson is sitting on your lap. Or crawling on your back as you put together a puzzle on the floor with the other 6 year old Grandson. Or just gave ya' a big Bear hug as he runs off for his afternoon nap. Yeah, life is Good
.... Now I'm a dog type, not a cat guy, but I really liked the orange tabby male cat my wife brought home back in July, 2003. He arrived to cheer up my youngest son who'd broken his arm quite severely on the 1st day of summer break, we named him Tigre, aka "Tiggy" or "Mr. Tiggs". Tiggs ruled the roost (bossed our pair of Retreivers around) was a night prowler, an awesome fighter, hunter and provider of rodents (even found a dead racoon kit in the yard) and winged & feathered vertebrates - and he was my buddy. Then one morning this past Aug., he wasn't there on the deck in the morning; after a few days we were left to conclude that a Fisher had gotten him. He'd had 9 years worth of a good life, but I was sad; I had the blues. What to do? Get another critter! This is young Ferguson Tecumseh Sherman, aka "Furg!" on Oct. 1st at 3 months old, getting caught up on a little WWII history with the old guy.

Thanks everyone for the feel good...Thinking about a bird. They last longer. One of my customers raises birds....They hop around his shirt, picking non existent bugs out of his ears/hair. ..It's really something to watch.

One of the first things I listenend to when I woke up this morning and thought it was a damn good way to stat moderation and have a good day. This gives me the shivers , time to wear sunglasses and a tie .
Well, I woke up this morning and the World doesn't seem to have ended. Or - maybe it ended - and then started up again exactly as it was before .......perhaps I'd better head for the roof of the nearest shopping mall......
Before she left for New Zealand, my wife forced me to wear an all sky blue pair of long shorts, and a shirt exactly the same colour.... So, you could say I'd had the blues with it all..... I'm listening to Audioslave's first album....bluesy enough for 2012....Chris Cornell has 'the' voice....
I'd be worried that Pops just might like that sheep too much; never go out, personal hygiene out the window, terminal navel lint, ... you know. Unless of course it's armadillo sheep, the pride of Texas! Since it's the Christmas Season, I'd like to recommend Gregorian Chants, a Jethro Tull Christmas in a manger with Urqh's sheep, and "Chris Squire's Swiss Choir" - Squire & Hackett pre-Squackett, with some non-Prog Swiss non-yodellers busking for cheese and francs - olé!
Good to see the man who stares at sheep is back.........I would warn against anything armadillo......them Texans and their armadillos......still giving doctors grief with the lepers they spread. Be sure to wear plastic gloves when picking up the road kill for Christmas dinner from now on....speaking of hygiene.
Ha. hahah. Very nice. Thanks everybody. ..Here's an oldie, remember it well...Boney M., Feliz navidad-White Chritsmas. - YouTube
