Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 27, 2014

Sorry, Neal. Nobody’s forgotten what you did on Thanksgiving three years ago.

To everybody….

May you all have many things for which to be grateful….As for me…I am very thankful to have you all as friends!

But don’t forget….

Neal knows he can’t “return” to a greatness he never reached in the first place…

“But wouldn’t it just knock their socks off,” he thinks…. "if I somehow did? "

He chuckles, thinking about how many of them would rush to say they always knew he had it in him…how many would say they always wanted to be his best friend, even when they were refusing to sit with him at lunchtime.

Just look at them now!Or…well…if today were really that day.

Ah well…. there’s always tomorrow.Meanwhile… Ungreatness is pretty good too.

Ladykat…. I hope you see what I posted to you yesterday.

Shika… the last word in that video is “plates.”

I was curious too…. apparently that’s what the little flat Legos are called.They mean the collision squashed the brick flat.

Susan, yes, I just went back and saw it, thank you very much. And again yes, I was up very early yesterday, had a bad attack of insomnia and figured I was better off on GoComics than pacing the floor and aggravating the cat.

Beviek, while Neal is at it, I think he should go all out and put on clean underwear, too.

It’s the little touches that make Ballard Street great. The folding table at which Neal sits, the different shades of green on wall and trim, the toothpick, the plain refrigerator with bowl on top ……

Only if Greatness sends someone over to pick you up, I imagine…

Good morning and a super Turkey day to all.I lost power at 4:30pm yesterday,it is still out. Good thing i got ‘it’ together and prepped my propane fired generator[electric start{too}] ran till bed time and started again so i could visit my friends on Ballard St,this morn.Have a great day everyone. Peace. :)

Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!

HiYa Red, Good to see you again,i’ve missed seeing your posts lately[time thing?].Hi beviek and Perkycat;Storm,SS,too old2,etc. I know i’m missing many,but please note you are all included in my best wishes. Peace.

Just ran in from the Kitchen with this wish….

Shika: Re the Picture, you are there, you just didn’t lean in far enough. Remember? It was at that thing we went to at the girl’s house over in the next town. Right?

Shika: I found this picture of you, Don’t feel left out! Do you still have the boots?

Happy Thanksgiving, Ballardeers!

Yes! That is me, and I STILL have the boots. And you can tell I am the visiting Canadian. Note the snow on the ground! lol I must have been looking for that fireman…

JP Steve some things are best left unsaid. I thank you. ;-)

Those are great videos Bev. For some reason ‘Giving thank is more than a holiday’ isn’t available in safety mode, but “Turkey Testicles” was fine. Go figure. I could see the rest.

Well,…something about shooting turkeys in the frozen foods section, and scaring people.______________

Last I saw him, he was headed for the potatoes with a mallet, saying that mashed potatoes are his favorite.

Hey, Neal is sitting on purple seat cushions. He must be royalty!

Good Night, Ballard Dears!
