I have a very long day ahead of me, so the Chalkboard is short and sweet.
   Seems like a serious flu bug is going around. Many of us are worn down from a long Thanksgiving week. Take care of yourself and rehydrate. Rub some Vicks on your booty.
    December is almost here and these next five weeks can be a MoFo. Maybe this is the year of K.I.S.S?    
             Keep it simple stupid!?!?!?!
   Instead of a Moët Chandon December, lets make it a Prosecco celebration? Instead of a beef tenderloin, you get a couple Alpine Subs? Bake enough cookies for the family and let the neighborhood fend for itself. Maybe you cut back the feast of seven fish to a potluck supper this year?
       Since this decade started, we’ve been beating the crap out of ourselves.
Maybe it’s time to stare at the Christmas lights and find a peace of mind.
                           Let’s enjoy this next month with our straight F’s!!! 
         Let’s reiterate the story of stretching out a one day supply of oil to last eight days. Be the Shamash that lights brightly for those you love and hold close.
         Think about the young pregnant girl who was a virgin. Traveling with an old guy on a donkey with very little. Then she gives birth in a barn and the rest is history. Be the shepherd that witnessed this beautiful moment.
    I think we need to get back to basics, skip the extravaganza and take care of ourselves this month.
                                 Let’s walk into 2024 relaxed and rejuvenated … 
    … and maybe think about what Rodney screamed out at the end of “Caddyshack!”
