Far and Away

"Cosmic activity in your fellow Earth sign of Capricorn means the odds are very much in your favor at the moment, so by all means push the envelope a little and see where it takes you. It could take you far." 

 I can hardly wait! It would seem that in spite of the fact that 60 is the new 40, my ride may be just around the corner and I'd better make plans!

 Perhaps tonight, it being Christmas Eve and all, I'll watch Death Takes a Holiday. And hope for the best. 

World Without End

"Times are good and about to get even better. It may take two or three days for things to pick up speed but once they do you will be on a roller-coaster ride of fun and games. Hang on and enjoy the experience." 

It's after midnight. In only four days, kids all over the world will be waiting for Santa. Me, I'm waiting for the end of the world as I know it.  
So far, nothing has changed. Investigation ID is still on the tube, and no one has bid on my Rolling Stones ticket stubs. Come on, people. I need cash for the carnival rides.

The Ties That Bind II

"Money may be a little tight at the moment but that is no reason to deny yourself the good things in life. On the contrary, you will feel better about yourself if you splash out a bit - but not too much."

 
                               "You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride,
                                You don't want nothin', don't need no one by your side
                                You're walkin' tough baby, but you're walkin' blind
                                 to the ties that bind.
                                Now you can't break the ties that bind."   Bruce Springsteen 

I love ties. Vintage silk ties. I have a great collection, and I wear them to set all the time. The reaction I usually get from wardrobe is: "Love the look, love the tie. Lose the tie."

Still, I try. When I'm blue I sign on to Ebay and buy myself another. They're never very expensive.

As far as the other kind of tie goes, in about a week my bags will be packed but I'll be far from all alone with no one by my side. Back to New England with all four cats and my daughter in the Prius.

Chariots of Fur.


 
 
 

Saving Grace

"You are in a can-do mood at the moment and that's good because the planets indicate that if you make an effort the results will be spectacular. Jupiter in the money area of your chart could make you a fortune!"

If my mother taught me anything it was Never Throw Anything Out.  I have the spoon and knife I stole from the Beatles room service tray at the Plaza Hotel in 1964. I have several hundred British fanzines I subscribed to when I was 15. I have Beatles dolls, Beatles harmonicas, Beatles jewelry and Beatles bubble gum cards. I even have a licorice record with John's picture on it. Admittedly, after nearly 50 years, the licorice is pretty gross. 
I have, or should I say had, two ticket stubs from the Beatles second ever concert in the United States. They are now on their way to their new owner in England.
Who would have guessed that these two tiny scraps of paper would sell for over $2,500?
