Sunday, NYC with a drive all the way down to the battery, the Staten Island Ferry by the Statue of Liberty, a separate trip out to the statue that we had hoped to avoid with the Ferry, Rockefeller Center and then while trying to get to a Mexican Restauranr on 8th ave we got caught in a Tienamen Square protest by the Chinese Embassy so back out and more rolls of film. We were looking for a place to eat and found a parking spot on the street and took it and found ourselves in front of an Irish restaurant where all the waitresses had red hair and sounded like they got off the boat that afternoon and he enjoyed Irish brews. The following week, sans wife, we went to a manufacturing operations conference south of Mexico City where he discovered Corona beer.

I do miss that area some days. Surgery was not as involved as they thought it might be. No tendon tear, just frayed by the spur under it so hopefully, things will move fast. Already one PT and last pain pill was 24 hours ago.

Union rules

A dedicated Teamsters Union member attended a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. At the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"

"No," she replied, "it isn't."

"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered.

Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded,

"Yes! We're a union house and we observe union rules."

The man asked, "And, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."

"That's more like it!" the union man said. He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room and spotted a stunningly attractive 20ish green-eyed blonde.

"I'd like to be with HER," he said.

"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. She gestured to a woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 47 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next."

Maybe Hobby Lobby should stop selling knitting needles.

They've nothing better to do than ban LGBT websites and then lie about it.

SO squeamish.

Too many gladiator movies during male adolescence, one supposes.

With this level of maturity at the top, America's recent war history (FAIL) becomes crystal clear.

Will there be TWO open homos in the U.S. Senate? (Larry Craig-R still in closet)

"Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who just left the House of Representatives Thursday after 32 years, said Friday that he has told Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) that he would like an interim appointment to fill the Senate seat that would open if Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is confirmed as secretary of state.

"A few weeks ago, I said I wasn't interested. It was kind of like, you're about to graduate and they said, you've got to go to summer school. But that [fiscal cliff] deal now means that February, March, and April are going to be among the most important months in American financial history," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"Yes, in fact, I'm not going to be coy, it's not anything I've ever been good at. I've told the governor that I would now like, frankly, to be a part of that. It's only a three-month period, I wouldn't want to do anything more, but to be honest, it's a little arrogant."

Said Frank, "Coach, put me in."

Jesus saved the life of one Randal Christy (never mind the name similarities, there's no blood kin) and yesterday Randall saves Jesus. Really, he did.

"EUREKA SPRINGS — The Great Passion Play will be held on Magnetic Mountain this year just as it has every year since 1968, said Randall Christy, who spearheaded a frantic fundraising drive to save it.

Christy, president of The Gospel Station Network of Ada, Okla., raised $75,000 in 10 days to pay interest due on three loans at Cornerstone Bank in Eureka Springs. The bank was scheduled to take possession of the play property on Jan. 1 through a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
.....
On Thursday, Christy said the lights will remain on the statue “’til Jesus comes back.”

At a news conference and public announcement Thursday at the Passion Play’s amphitheater, Christy said he plans to raise $6 million in the next year for the play. Some of that money will come through operating the play more efficiently, he said. The play owes $2.53 million to Cornerstone Bank, Christy has said.

“I believe God wants us to make some money because he knows what we’re going to do with it - put it back in here,” Christy said.

Meanwhile, Christ(y)'s followers over in Carroll County says Jesus needs good bidness plans...

"The local Chamber of Commerce and CAPC are on board as well," he added.

The marketing plan includes partnering with several Eureka lodging facilities and other businesses to promote the Passion Play with an arrangement that would allow vendors to buy ticket packages at a reduced rate but be able to resell them at enough of an increased rate to make a profit of their own.

"We will co-promote those businesses as well through our radio network," Christy said. Although Christy said it was impossible to know how many listeners his stations average -- since many are frequented by online listeners, he noted -- he said the Gospel Station Network reaches "millions of people" in seven states. Additionally, their stations are available through apps for iPhone and Android.
....
It is also imperative, [Bill] Smith said, to have "sufficient, verified financial projections in place" to ensure the Play's success and longevity for the 2013 season's total operating costs, debt service, needed improvements, expansion, marketing, animals and payroll.

"Going forward, the management team must develop a marketing plan to capitalize on the property's potential to attract a 21st century audience," Smith added.

Who knows. Perhaps the planets will align to favor Jesus and Christy. There's an app for that.
