Merry Christmas to everyone. Even if you don't celebrate this holiday for it's religious significance, I hope you will find the peace and joy today that the holiday is supposed to bring.
May the new year be happy, healthy and peaceful for us all. May we continue to be a place where all people can live together in harmony. |

Indeed. I'm not Christian, though my mother has always had a secular Christmas tradition, since her Episcopal upbringing.
Tonight, Carol and I sang at the Christmas Eve service at First Presbyterian Church in Orange. Nice place and nice folks. Even got paid for it, but that makes little difference. We'll be doing the service on Sunday, too. |

Happy holidays for certain MOL'ers.
You know who you are.....
T'was the night before a Dead show and all through the place,
All the heads were dosed - just trippin' to space.
Their joints were all rolled with precision and care,
With hopes that St. Stephen soon would be there.
The freaks were all nestled all stoned in their beds,
While visions of Johanna danced in their heads.
With me in my poncho and her in my hand,
Just dying to hear "Uncle John's Band."
When out from the stage there rose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
O'way to the stadium I flew with my stash.
I kicked down the gate - it fell with a crash.
The light from the orb hanging so high,
Blinding me like I was born cross-eyed.
And what to my red glossy eye should appear,
A shadowed figure, could it be Mr. Weir?
No, too big to be Bob, too short to be Phil.
Could it be Mickey,Brent, maybe Bill?
He started to sing and the sound from his lips,
Assured me at once that he was Captain Trips.
His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry,
I exclaimed in excitement, "Oh Wow! It's Jerry!"
I couldn't believe it just Jerry and me,
"Play something," I said. "Play Sugaree".
The Fat Man jammed - he was on a roll,
With his sweet songs he rocked my soul.
Jerry spoke once and his message was plain,
"Gotta go now," he said. "It looks like rain."
But I heard him exclaim as he walked out of sight,
"Good Lovin' to all and I Bid You Goodnight."
