| Ringing in the New Year can take on a shiny new life of its own. |
Welcome to the first 2026 edition of this editor's Comedy Newsletter! 
As many of you may know, I winter in Florida. No snow to shovel. No ice to slip on. No scraping the windshield. It's a beautiful thing!
Being here from late fall until late spring, covers a few holidays --Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year of course. It's also an active 55+ community whereby many things are organized by planning committees from Bingo to parties!
We have a fantastic pool room, a card & game room and a great big hall used for live entertainment, dancing, and even pot luck. In other words--a very active community life Indoors and outdoors at the pool or Pickle Ball courts, shuffleboard, Bocce Ball ... well you get it. Peeps having fun and friendly competition.
Many events are organized throughout the year. One such recent event was a New Year's Eve party. Okay, don't be looking at me. I avoid dancing around a hall full of drinking retirees. My New Year's eve consists of us going out earlier in the evening to pick up take-out Chinese food and thenget off the road before the amateur drinkers get on it.
With a satisfied belly, we head to the clubhouse TV room while the party goers are in the big hall. I can still hear the music from there, but away from all the fray. It was no different this past New Year's eve. I get online, watch a Twilight Zone marathon while people watching. I can't help that. They walk down the hallway from the banquet room, right past us, on their way to the restrooms. Early in the evening, they navigate it quite well. Later--well all I can say is thank goodness there are walls in the hallway where two or more ladies can hang onto one another's hand while the ones on the ends each have a steadying wall within reach.
There's no holiday that seems to attract glitter-everything from in their hair to the clothes they wear than the New Year's eve party in these parts of the community. Just a stroll down the hall to the ladies' room after a few of them have already navigated and follow the trail of glitter that would put Oz's Yellow Brick Road to shame!
Anyway, when that stream of ladies went back to the hall, I decided it was safe to make a trip to the restroom, myself. No lines to wait in. I followed the glitter to the targeted room. Yup, glitter on the floor in there. I went about my business, got ready to leave the stall and noticed stray glitter on the seat I just left. Needless to say when I got back home that night I had to take a good look in the full-length mirror with a hand-held mirror for good aim, while Au Natural.  There I saw all that glitters upon my bottom! Well folks, just because you skip a party doesn't mean you don't take a part of it home with you.
Glitter--the curse of it when it gets in your eye, is demon enough! But upon your bottom? As ladies most likely know, glitter sticks to the skin and is relentless. It's difficult to wash off... especially in spots you can't see.
I prayed I got it all off that night because I planned on being in the pool the next day. I certainly wouldn't want glitter peeking out of my higher-leg-cut Miraclesuit! Let the gossip from hairy eyeballs, reddened by high balls, begin! 
Until next time -- Glitter on!
Happy New Year, Folks!

I'm pretty sure that Martha would have said, "Anyone interested in more dressing -- and a tip on stocks?"
Lol! Possibly. But, I'm sure she would have some advice to offer over the Gingerbread House's construction flaws. 
Maddie Stone <2026 Edition> 
That sounds like something I would have done for a party and likely it would have ended just the same! Though your gingerbread house didn't last, the memories did and those are precious. Thanks for letting us be a part of it, too. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
Thank you so much. I hope your holidays were wonderful, too. Happy New Year! 
Thank you for your feedback!
See you next month, Folks. ... |
