MAKE IT GREAT IN ONE EIGHT
I usually start the year out with some
stupid poem or a list of my resolutions. Why
might you ask do I continue to write this
column? Why do I make a fool of myself
by telling everyone to have a cold one
because God loves you and Jesus died for
your misdeeds? Why do I beat my head
against the refrigerator trying to come up
with something novel or funny to say in these
weekly ramblings? (By the way, I looked up
“ramblings” and here is what the
internet says: If you describe a
speech or piece of writing as
someone’s ramblings, you are
saying that it is meaningless
because the person who said
or wrote it was very confused
or insane.) So, I guess take my
column for what it is, weekly
ramblings. After 40 and one
half years of teaching you would be confused
and insane also. Any way you squeeze it, I
look at my ramblings as a way to give back
to my readers, a way to brighten their day,
a way to get them to loosen up and laugh at
themselves. We’re all in this together, why
not have fun along the freeways of life in
the big city and stop to smell the exhaust
fumes? The truth is, life is short, we only
have one life to live here on earth, none of
us are perfect, we all fall short, bad things
happen, but there is life after death, those who
recognize their shortcomings and their need
for a savior have that new life already. When
we put everything that happens here on earth
into that “big picture” we start to look at
things in a different light. We see that other
people are just like us. We can accept one
another for who we all are. So, I might be
insane but you can accept me as a rambling
idiot and love me for who I am. I love you
regardless of how stupid you think my column
is. Look at the world from the “big picture”,
have a cold one and breath the clean fresh
air of January. Let’s make one eight great!•

Community Brief
Rotary Club Feeds
30 Local Families for Holidays
LAX Diner in Hawthorne was unusually
busy on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 23
as members of the Hawthorne/LAX/Lennox
Rotary Club excitedly boxed up food for 30
local families in need. The restaurant served as
the base for the annual food distribution that
takes boxes of groceries to families throughout
the Hawthorne, Lennox and Inglewood areas.
Driven and hand-delivered by Rotarians
and volunteers from the Hawthorne Lennox
Rotaract Club, the food was purchased by
the club along with a generous donation
by Top Valu market in Lennox. Top Valu
manager Enrique Guerra was on hand at 7
a.m. to help the load up the many hundreds
of pounds of groceries.
This annual Rotary program is one of the club’s
proudest traditions. Working with the Lennox
School District, the club is able to identify dozens
of local families in need. The club’s fundraising
activities during the year go to fund the event,
along with a number of other important annual
Rotary programs. These include giving away grants
to teachers at all five school districts that serve
the Hawthorne and Lennox communities, as well
as the annual Police Officer and Firefighter of
the Year Awards program, and much more. The
club has been serving this community since 1928
and is always eager to welcome new members
that want to give back and help out. •
