Hey, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everybody! Here's to 2006, to good health, happiness, prosperity and peace.

Anyone have any exciting plans for New Years Eve? I'm going to get a box of Windsor wings and some extra hot garlic sauce...take that and a case of Iron City in the aluminum bottles down the basement and sit behind the furnace and cry myself to sleep.

I'm kidding.

I'm getting Yuengling.
 
Well, seeing as I will be in church the next day (and I don't drink alcohol anyway), I will be a good boy, probably watch some New Year's thing on tv and then hang out for a while with friends. See my column in Friday's CV (The Wax Museum) for further plans.<P ID="signature">______________

I have to work on New Years Day. So, on Dec. 31rst, I will
be making my best girl our traditional dinner of Lobster
Ravioli and canolis. I will then take a nap, try listening to
Shadoe and Sam, then wake up at 1130AM to alternatly watch
Dick Clark and Regis. At midnight, my best girl will take
this old colonial bell and ring it outside on the front porch.
I will go to the rear porch and start screaming my lungs out
for no reason whatsoever. (The scream is a type of McCauley
Caulkin catterwall from Home Alone when he puts the after shave
on). We will then have a bottle of champagne, I will put a sugar
cube in my drink which my best girl will sneer at. I will then
drink the stuff, go to bed to await the alarm for work and
descend into a post Christmas holiday depression that can only
be cured by the arrival of the Super Bowl. (Even a Geena Davis
footrub can't cure the holiday blues.) I will not be eating
wings nor crying in the corner but I'm coming pretty darn
close.
So, that's all the info you'll ever want to know about my
New Years.

P.S. By the way, Wegmans has reduced the price of "A Radio
Story" by 20% in its stores. That can only add much joy to
my New Year.

LOL...right of course. I was just using Iron City and Yuengling for dramatic license.

Happy New Year Jim, miss seein' you around campus. That was back in the day when we used to get off the air and intentionally hang around in the PD's office for an hour or two. Lippy cured that, FAST! Now it's ingrained, second nature, and usually I hear the 10 o'clock ID crossing the Mulberry Street bridge.
 
Of course much of the hanging around was at Pete Bordi's Dine and dance.
DESERT anyone. Those were the days...what I can remember anyway.

Pete, for whatever reason, didn't like when someone wanted to buy a round. But he made an exception for you, do you remember? You bought a drink for 28 people seated at the bar. 28 drinks. It came to 5 dollars and 35 cents.

Chili dogs. Pete said he had a secret ingredient. I asked him many times what it was but he would never reveal his secret. Then one day he seemed to be in a confiding mood and he said, "Ya wanna know what the secret ingredient in the chili sauce is? Gasoline."

Pete's gone now, but I wonder what might have been if he took my advice when the mall bought him out. I told him to buy the Globe Store and make it a 5 level Pete Bordi's. Hey, they want tourists and busloads of people comin' into town everyday? How about a place where you can get two beers and two chili dogs, put a dollar on the bar and get 20 cents back?

They had a retirement party for him at a banquet hall in Dunmore. Speeches. It was on the news that night.

I gotta write a book. (BLEEP), Yonk thinks he's the only one with a story to tell? I just wish I could remember half of it.

Happy New Year Mr. Rising,
"Which Way Did They Go, I Must Find Them, I'm Their Leader"

I remember (less and and less all the time it seems)the last day at Pete's. I mean the real last day. The joint was empty. Just you, Me and Pete. He was certain that you had a hidden microphone and were broadcasting. He gave us each one of the famous "two for 15 cents" glasses. There was a certain amount of manly emotion expressed.
Do you remember his cure for colds? He asked me if I had a cold. My nose was running like niagra and I sounded like foghorn leghorn. Can you spend a dollar? Yes I guess I could. I still to this day wish I knew what was in the potion he served me. Rock & Rye, Jack Daniels and some more stuff. Drink it down in a gulp, Pete advised. Tomorrow the cold will be gone.
And it was.

Yonk's book is pretty good, but the one you and I could write....people would never know it was the truth.
