Today is December 7. A day that will live in infamy. I tried to figure out how to mark the occasion, and my talents are limited. However, for some reason, I searched what was the Number 1 song on December 7, 1941. It turned out to be a most fortuitous search. Glenn Miller, soon to become Major Glenn Miller had had a few good years. The Number One song for December 7, 1941, was Chattanooga Choo Choo I chose the 8 minute version from the movie, Sun Valley Serenade, partly because it features Dorothy Dandridge. This song was first million selling record. Glenn Miller volunteered for the war, in spite of his age, and the fact he was giving up $15,000 to $20,000 per week as a leader of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He finally convinced the US Army Air Corps to accept him, and he did much to advance the morale in the war. His plane was lost 15December1944 crossing the English Channel to perform for the troops in France.
I was watching the Washington Redskins play Philadelphia. During the game they kept announcing "would Senitor …please call your office, would General…please call your office, etc. My cousin sitting next to me said "there’s a war going on. When the game was over, Washington won, and we left the stadium there were kids selling The Evening Star extra with headlines saying the Japs had bombed Pearl Harbor.

No if she could only throw like that during baseball season he’d be a happy manager. And probably a badly bruised one with a few to many concussions.

Lucy, you are something else. You were polite in hitting Charlie Brown with a snowball.

As long as it’s not offensive…
On the other hand, her last name is “van Pelt”. I’d return the favor, CB.

“On the other hand, the fact that you don’t seem to care that you might stun me or hurt me, that offends me…”
