Winding Down 2013


Jacket For Each Year's Recipient
Cheersfest 2013 2.0 Warp Up: You have to admit, that was a lot of fun! Honoring and roasting a deserving person such as Lee was worth the effort. I’m still laughing at the Facebook tagline for Lee’s jacket. The ladies were the most creative. Hahahahaha! See what I mean?
Lee’s Facebook Jacket: Speaking of “the jacket” I think Lee should donate it (c’mon, Lee don’t try to jive us and say it’s not in your closet) and give it to each respective recipient of the following year’s Cheersfest.

The Horror! The Horror! Okay, This is one of Lee's favorite movie lines and he will get it and laugh. I hope.
 
Yes, this is a yearly event. Similar to the Masters Golf Tournament, the proceeding year’s recipient will help th new honoree put on the jacket of honor. Repeat process every year.


The Transferring Of The Jacket
Those in favor, stand and shout our AYE! Lee. please donate your jacket for 2014's Cheersfest 3.0 recipient! You can keep the bow tie.



Winding Down 2013: I'm almost to the point where I say, That's All Folks. I'm tired. I'm burned out. Lots of wild and weird and crazy stuff happening this year. Google shutting down my blog sure didn't help.


I Can Almost Say This!
But 2014 offers new hope and I have so many cool things planned. Until then, I think I'll coast until I take my yearly two or three week break for the holidays around the middle of the month.

And I will have to forsake my Annual Children's and MG Holiday Promotion. I really hate to do this as the last three years have proven most successful. But honestly I just can't do it this year. But I will pick it up again in 2014 for sure!

But I will have the Weekend Follies, at least for one more week.

  1. I will never live down that "brown jacket". The ladies did come up with some great lines. Honestly, I did look in my closets to see if I could find that jacket. But that was nearly 40 years ago! Still, I do think it's probably here somewhere.

    Thanks for the fun time!

  4. OMGosh, Stephen (and Lee) that would be SOOOOOO awesome if the Brown Jacket (it's now a proper noun :) was passed on from Roastee to Roastee :)

    You could even have the Recipients' names stitched inside the jacket like the World Series trophy or Stanley Cup :)

    And, Lee, I am so sorry for not clarifying that the Brown Jacket was actually a burgundy color tuxedo jacket, but now, look! The Brown Jacket has the chance to live the life that only Mini-Alex can dream of :)

    1. I've been looking but alas I've yet to find it. If I do you'll be the first to know!

  6. I can relate to the burnout too. I'm glad I only have a few more posts for 2013 and then can take a short break and be inspired for next year.

  7. I bet Lee does still have that jacket in his closet! I bet it still says 'help me' as well.
    I have next Monday and Fifty States of Pray, and then that's it until next year. Winding down as well.

  8. If I could have a theme for this year, it would be "What a loooong strange trip its been."

  9. Have a good break and enjoy the Christmas period. I might take a break too. Hope Lee finds his jacket. We used to do something similar with a sweat shirt which said I am not 60 I am 18 with 42 years' experience. We handed it to each of our friends who reached that age and I wrote an appropriate poem to go with it. Was fun. Don't know what ever happened to that shirt.
