Enjoying his last lunch of 2018 with six women: his 99-year-old mother, an older sister, two younger sisters-in-law, one friend celebrating her birthday and another who just aged up. Whew!
After handing out calendars sent to him by various charities and NGOs at Clearie’s in Redding, CA, The Idiot reminds his luncheon companions that:
“The journey of a year is drawing to a close. Go to sleep tonight. When you wake up tomorrow, a new adventure will begin.” He neglected to credit “Journey To The Heart” for the quote.
