About Me

People say I'm:

outgoing, hysterical, sarcastic, loving, giving
Describe Yourself:

I love watching DVDs, both old and new.

I say some the dumbest stuff followed by something profound, just to keep people on their toes.

I love to cook, but prefer to make desserts.

On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

Fun, Friends, and some interesting posts. I love being able to chat with others, and those that can teach me new things, whether it be how to make something, or how to save money, or just to vent to someone about your day.

I'm just looking to enjoy my time here and meet some interesting people along the way.

"All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us."

wishing you a merry christmas joy-filled season...

Surfing Santa
©Robert C Burnham

I went to the beach early on Christmas Eve
There was a party going on that you wouldn't believe
The spirits were flowing and the music was loud
All of the Beach Boys were mingling in the crowd
Elvis was singing that "Blue Christmas" song
When people pointed to a fat man in a red thong

He had a long white beard, it got quite the rave
As that jolly old fella’ stood up on a wave
Santa as a surfer? Man, that dude had a beat
Must have been a magic surfboard under his feet
He rode along the crest and then shot through the tube
Moving lightning fast - man that board was lubed

With the wink of an eye and a pipe in his mouth
He hollered "Merry Christmas", then turned the board south
Off to Hawaii where the waves are quite big
Santa decided, surfing was gonna be his new gig
So when you wake up on Christmas with no toys to play
That's because Santa's too busy - Surfing USA.

Your hometown, I think, is home to a very romantic sardine factory, am I right or off base?
