Rant #3,629: Getting Closer

I was on and off the phone all day yesterday related to my son's work situation.

He has an interview next week at one of the town's job help offices. 

Again, we live in Suffolk County, not Nassau, but this office covers our zip code--which is mainly a Nassau code--so they said they might be able to help him.

We finally received all of our tax material--in spite of 1) My son's work sending it to our old address, but somehow, the postal service sent it to our current address; 2) I had to ask my work to send it to me, they said it was coming in the mail, and then, miraculously, it was sent via email to me.

I made an appointment with the tax preparer, so in two weeks, we will do our taxes, and while I know we are going to get destroyed, at least I know when the destruction will take place.

And talking about destruction, next Monday I have to bring my car in for an oil change, and as I was told the last time I had this work done, I need brakes, so thus service will cost me a pretty penny.

And my daughter texted me, and we are supposed to speak today, so who knows what wonders that will yield?

Yes, February can't end soon enough, so I am happy that it is the shortest month, a day shorter than last year's leap year.

I need a laugh right now ...

And I got one in yesterday's mail.

For Hanukkah, my wife and son bought me eBay gift cards, with which I purchased several 45s, stuff thst I wouldn't purchase with my own money.

So yesterday, I received my next-to-last delivery, and it was actually among the first I used the gift cards on.

I don't know why it took do long to get here, but it is finally here!

"Because of Black Tooth"/"Soupy's Theme" is by Soupy Sales, of course, and I had actually ordered this many months ago, but the seller discovered that the record was cracked, so he refunded my money.

Now, with a new seller, I ordered this again, and it is just so much fun to listen to this single, 63 years after the fact.

What a fun record, and listening to it was a nice way to finish out what was a very busy day.

Listen to it below. If this record doesn't bearing back memories to those of a certain age, I don't know what will.

Heck, I will do "The Mouse" or even "The Soupy Shuffle" if my son can just find another job!
