New Year's Eve, 2024 (Mylot Exclusive #1811)

Tweet

It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. ------------Yogi Berra Tonight's theme is Pizza, Wine & Peroni and we are very cleverly calling it, with a little help from my friend, Dino, "A New Year's Evening In Roma." It's fun but I'll be honest. I'm getting more than a little tired of hearing, "Why aren't we in Roma, Sir? Why are you making me live a lie?" As John Cleese once said, "It's enough to make you want to chew your own leg off." Fifi, my favorite Upstairs Head Sommelier and Chief Executive Vice President In Charge Of Alcoholic Affairs---She's wearing jeans and her "Wanna Cork Screw?" t-shirt and matching underwear tonight---, is trying to take the edge off by keeping me well supplied with Peroni and glasses of something called Ratti 2019 Serradenari Nebbiolo (Barolo). I love the Peroni but the Ratti 2019 Serradenari Nebbiolo (Barolo) is a different story. I don't mind the notes of tart red plums, dried violets and oolong tea leaves so much. But the savory flavors of fresh bay leaf, clove and balsam just don't turn me on. But you didn't come here to hear about what turns me on and off. If you wanted to know that, you would have gone straight to my MyLot AfterDark Channel. So I'll switch gears and get to my main objective for tonight: Ending this horribly dismal year on a happy, upbeat, and positive note. To that end, did you know that the Governor of North Carolina is a Democrat? And that the guy replacing him on Wonderific Wednesday is also a Democrat? I didn't, either. But that's only 90% of the happy, upbeat and positive note. The other half is this: Outgoing North Carolina governor commutes 15 death row sentences ((Article Linked Below)). How about that? President Sleepy Joe set a good example and at least one other highly placed politician---in a Southern State, no less!---is following it. Now, I wish Governor Newsom would do the same thing in the next day or two. Hey, Gavin! You have 620 inmates on Death Row! Start commuting them! With that in mind, let's go to Thursday, October 23, 1980, to see what the Cosmic Universal Anthem Song Of The Month Club Anthem Song for today is. For Day 21 of John Lennon Month ((December 8 --- January 8)), we are going to 1980 for another solo effort because this song was #1 on January 1, 1981. ((In case anyone is wondering, I learned everything I ever needed to know about math from Yogi Berra)) ************* The Associated Press Outgoing North Carolina governor commutes 15 death row sentences Story by GARY D.
