It’s Thursday. Apparently the festive fat-man in red has a thing for Corvettes. At least he did back in 1967 when he appeared in this ad for the Ray Boyles dealership in Florida. What kills me is seeing those prices! A brand-spankin-new 1967 Rally Red 427 4-speed convertible for $3,795! Today the ’67 is considered the definitive Corvette for collectors. It’s one of the most sought after model years for a number of reasons, but mostly because it was the last of the C2 generation. Pure Corvette. If you can find an all-original survivor with all the options, it can command well into six figures (and above) at auction. So, Santa, if you’re reading this, I’ve been good this year. And if you’re looking for ideas—look no further.

Hey Keep … I didn’t even have a license until ’68 and ended up with a well used ’61 Volvo. -Paul in Ontario

It’s Wednesday. I have another classic video that I like to share around the holidays. If you’ve been visiting over the many years that I’ve been running this website, then you already recognize it. For all the others, it’s called, “Ding Fries Are Done.” It’s kind of a video meme, but long before anyone heard of a meme. Enjoy!

Still sick, hoping for this fever to break soon.

It’s Tuesday. Sick, sick, sick. I haven’t had a cold in roughly 3 years and so far this one hasn’t been completely awful, so for that I’m grateful. I have some congestion in my head and chest but my sore throat has disappeared. I don’t have much of an apatite which is fine because nothing tastes good anyway. The part that pisses me off the most is how difficult it is to concentrate on anything. For instance, just writing this update is taking twice as long than usual. Even movies don’t hold my interest. All I can do is hope this passes quickly. Oh, and NyQuil is a gift from the Gods! I slept hard last night, way better than I expected.

I came across some holiday inspired photos several days ago. I really liked them so I thought possibly some of you would as well. Enjoy.
