Jackie Gleason in The Honeymooners

While everyone else is beginning to make plans for how they will spend their New Year's Day with family and friends (yes, there are lots of folks who are starting this early, darn their plan in advance souls!) I shall be free of any such needless thinking.

I shall have a great time and be entertained the whole way watching the Honeymooners. Hey, you think a birthday comes only once a year? or New Year's Day is only once a year, well you may be right but good ol' Jackie Gleason comes on just once a year too.

Yep, I'll enjoy watching how the male/female marriage dynamic and know that it persists over generations. I think it's a great way to start the year - be realistic about your resolutions, they are about as likely to come true as one of Ralph Kramden's hair brained schemes.

And if you think I'm just putting a damper on things then, 'bang, zoom and to the moon to you'...
