it's the great pumpkin, charlie brown.. and the New York Jets....

Tonight, "it's the great pumpkin, charlie brown" is on ABC... And now I know why.. Linus and I are not too far apart .. OY!

(Ok he is a little boy and i am a middle age woman.. and yes .. i know he is a cartoon.. and i am not... AND yes.. i dont drag my blanket around with me everywhere.. and yes.. Linus says, "good grief" and i prefer "OY!" .... BUT READ ON, dammit.. and you will see the similarities. heh)

i always loved the program.. it is the belief by a wishful child that he will see the great pumpkin...

but as the fable goes.. if there is a moment of doubt ..the great pumpkin will pass on by.. and Linus uses the word "if" instead of "when" the Great Pumpkin arrives...

and alas the great pumpkin passes him by...

Linus ever the optimist says, "But just wait till next year!"

My great pumpkin is a New York Jets SUPERBOWL... ( i know most of you thought i was going to say Rex, werent you? lol)

anyway.. every year.. it does not arrive...

but this year will be different..i feel it in my old Yenta bones... and i will be right here WHEN ( not if) the New York Jets SUPERBOWL win arrives.

I will be here.. with my Jets blankie ( a la Linus) and my Neil O'Donnell Jersey ( dont mock me.. he has gone 5-0 this year)

I will dance like snoopy when they win.. and for those of you who say.. how do you know snoopy is a JETS fan... here is a picture of him at the New Stadium draft party this past spring...

THIS year.. the Great Pumpkin is going to get the Lombardi! OY!!! :)

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!

Happy Halloween!!
