Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 31, 2023

Cheap vacation Wiz

Cue up Aerosmith’s Dream On.

We can all dream……

And I can dream I’m floating.

Economical – without the looming danger of hitting icebergs…

I hear cruises tend to be better as daydreams than reality. No risk of the plumbing going south.

That ship has sailed…Happy New Year!

It’s better than the real thing … you get to be on the cruise …

… and you can feel comfortably at home (because you are) …

… and when you wake up you are not stuck on a ship.

Modern cruise ship in medieval ages?

Whether you’re awake or not to ring in the New Year, here’s hoping that it’s a good year for you all!

I’ll be celebrating New Year’s on the S. S. Poseidon tonight…

That’s what I’ll be doing too, unless someone wakes me up before they go go.

Our New Year’s fireworks display is launched from the south side of the State Capitol building. I, and a few others, have a special place for viewing the fantastic display. The fireworks are literally overhead.

Or ‘Dreaming’ by Blondie

I guess they will talk about it in the morning……..sweet or lovely?

It’s strange- even though we live in a quiet-ish neighborhood some of the folks around us will start setting off fireworks at least a day ahead of an event (like July 4th, New Year’s Eve, etc). Last night? Not a peep. And it wasn’t like we had bad weather, either.

Hope everyone has a happy and prosperous new year!

The best New Years parties don’t involve me in them.

Not a fan of loud, social gatherings outside of sports games.

Oh yeah it tend to go on those “cruises” quite often….then the alarm goes off

HIPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

All I Have To Do Is Dream

Song by The Everly Brothers

“Dream, dream, dream, dream

Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine

Anytime, night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz

I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Dream, dream, dream, dreamDream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine

Anytime, night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz

I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Dream, dream, dream, dream

Dream, dream, dream, dream

Dream, dream, dream, dreamDream"

(And it’s safer than boats.)

Same wavelength, or voodoo?

Looks like the Wiz has whipped up a batch of his (im)famous mushroom soup for New Years Eve dinner.

wish I had a wizard

Livin’ the dream.

May be a dream, but that shows despite their differences and fights, they do love each other.

Also, HAPPY NOOD AND SCROOD DEER!!!!! AND MAY ALL THE BEER BE FORGOT…

Iceberg dead ahead!

I liked how Wiz and Blanche seemed to be in pleasant accord.
