Coming in for a Landing
Copyright E. Jett 2006As the sun sets, four geese drift down to lake for a landing.
X Mas
As a Christian, I prefer to think of Christmas rather than X Mas. I am not an xian. The holiday is still a Christian holiday to a few of us. I neither make fun of Ramedan or the Feast of Lights. I have made no attempts to appropriate holidays of other faiths for commercial gain or deck them out with snow, animals with red noses, green grinches or I am dreaming of a "You Pick a Color" Christmas or elves in various sizes.So all I am asking is that Christmas be returned to the Christians. And while I am at it, you can take the holiday back and just let those of us who believe in Jesus Christ and the nativity celebrate it quietly.
As for December 25, you can give it back to the Romans as their Saturnalia and the Christmas tree can be returned to the Druids or to Oden or whoever had it first.
I recently got my first X Mas Card. Truly X must mark the spot. Friends of mine from one of our international law firms sent it. They evidently had picked up the sense of what Christmas means in the U.S. However they got the sign wrong -instead of an X, it evidently should have been this: $
Elf Porn
Below is the Story about this Chistmas Card. The Emerald Prince is the lucky recipient of the a multi-year scholarship to one of the finer institutions run by the State of Missouri. He resides year around at the Emerald Palace which is genteelly staffed by some of the employees of this fine state. You might say that he has a scholarship and that room and board is provided.
Obviously, there must be many people seeking these fine accomodations because from time to time the premises are full. Barbed wire is utilized around the premises to keep people from invading the premises to take advantage of the free room and board.
The State is kind enough to guard the minds of these young and not so young men and women. The Emerald Palace advertises itself as being drug free and dry. Unwholesome influences are discouraged, and pornography is not welcomed.
However, it may be said that the employees of this fine institution are not without humor.
Packages and gifts can not be sent to the residents of the Emerald Palace (which is in this case actually blue). They do allow Christmas cards—at least most of the time.
We like to send funny cards at Christmas to bring Christmas joy to the Emerald Prince. And so this year like many years we selected our cards from Wal-Mart and Walgreens and forwarded them to the Emerald Prince. The funniest card this year was one showing a cartoon of a bunch of elves who had just won the lottery. They mooned Santa as they left their jobs and went to collect their fortune.
This is where things really got funny. It seems that the state employees of the Emerald Palace called the Emerald Prince in and told him that he had been sent some pornographic material from his parents and that he had to sign a bunch of forms before the pornography was thrown away.
It seems that someone (the parents of the Emerald Prince) had sent him “Elf Porn”. The Emerald Prince signed the forms and the card was thrown away.
The card you see is the “Elf Porn.” The employees of the Emerald Palace laughed so hard that they rolled on the floor.
Hope you enjoy it!

Harley Dad
Guess who received a new riding jacket for Christmas. If you guessed Harley Dad, then you win the prize for being insightful. The jacket has patches for some of his rides including his 2006 Swiss and Italy rides.
Shan Tora Joins Natives
Warrior's Sis, Shan ToraWarrior's Sister was awarded most valuable Christmas Presents of 2006. She received Warriors haji rags and boonie cap both used by Warrior in Afghanistan. The gift was the greatest. The only question is how do we get them off of Shan Tora so she can return to school. Warrior's sis is a Warrior too! And believe me, she really is.
Warrior Returns
Warrior Returns from Afghanistan.We think he may have gone native. It was great seeing Warrior and Beautiful Bridgette. Warrior could not show us his face or he would have to kill us.
It was great seeing Warrior after his tour.

Herron Watches Over Lake
Copyright 2006 E. Jett
The Herron is watching over the Lake. After all it is his lake. He just lets the Canadian geese borrow it. This gentleman is a consumate fisherman and he looks with disdain at the geese who can't fish worth a darn!
