Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 31, 2017

One year I resolved to stop making resolutions. It’s the only one I have ever been able to keep. ;-)

Champagne makes any instant cosmic.

The philosopher vs. the realist.

The philosopher vs. the realist.

I’m resolving to stop repeating myself.

I’m resolving to stop repeating myself.

And we know what champagne might lead to

The heck with champagne. I am much too plebeian for that. Give me Smithwick’s, Newcastle, or Killian’s any day, not just New Year’s Eve.

Nosirrom: I already hate myself. Why make a resolution that I know that I won’t be able to keep and then hate myself even more?

To quote the late and great George Gobel: “It’s not a new anything. It’s just the old year with a different number.”

Drink American sparkling wine. Keep the French out of our New Year.

Just another day and night for me. My neighbors have already started with too loud music that makes me happy I don’t have a shot gun.

Once again, desire defeats debating.

I don’t have a resolution for myself as much as a wish. It’s to find my very own Arlo. If not Arlo, I could probably settle for Earl Pickles. They both already make me happy every morning. Happy 2018 to one and all and see you in the funny pages!

The French were making beer long before the Vikings discovered North America.
