Age HoIts New Year Hijinks

although now and then he
whistled. No one ever heard
such a tiny thin sound come
from between the lips of such
a big man. You could never
tell when my father was load
ed unless you looked at him.
If the fedora was jammed
on his head, so that his ears
curved out like the tenders
on a Cord, he had arrived.
He was always a gentle
man, just as Maggy was al
ways a lady. My brother John
is the epitome of dignity to-
day, but I can remember a
few New Years when we hung
one on together, and then
hung one on each other. He
has a fuse about an eighth
of an inch long. Whenever I
lit it with a wrong remark,
there was no time to run.
One night we drank side
cars in Dinny Sullivan's. Fun
ny, I got home in a side
car. A cop was driving. He
had no sense of humor.
The nights when I started
wearing a lampshade for a
hat, or a reinforced bra as
earmuffs, are gone. No more
the Spanish shawl over the
shoulder and doing a tango
to waltz music; gone are the
days when I volunteered to
drive everybody home with
the heavy foot on the gas;
or announced portentously
that I knew a place that
would sell one more bottle
after closing hours.
Oh, no. A man owes him
self a touch of insanity, and
I do not regret a night of it.
But I renounced all of it
many years ago, and I have
not regretted the total alb
Stinence. OF the two situa-
tions, it is much more fun to
think of the days when the
family was wild and woolly.
MY MOTHER was a non
drinker and one night we got
two Manhattans into her and
she asked me if I felt like
dancing. didn't, but we went
around the floor in an old
fashioned box step. When we
finished, I said proudly:
We'll, Nom. How was that?"
She said: Son, we've been
getting along too many years
to start fighting now"
Those, my friends, were the
good old days. I bequeath all
future ones to you.

Another year has dragged
its feet across the calendar.
Nineteen hundred and sixty
one is done. kaput, finis.
Like all of them, it had a
few nice moments, andesome
desolate ones too. Still, I
wasn't cheated. I gave and
I took. Laughter and tears
are desperate twins. The old
er you get, the more diff
cult it is to tell them apart.
I haven't gone out New
Years eve for a long time.
It's safer at home. There is
a time when a man can af-
ford a head full of gravel.
I'm not knocking it. My
mother -in-law Maggy used to
say: I'VE had our fun" She
had hers. Sometimes, when
she was on a party and had
a firm stool at a bar, her fat
Irish kisser was so red that
men were afraid to light Gig
arettes near the lady.
She always wanted to be a
good sport. And she was, even
if she had a flatten some
body to prove it. She and
my sister Adele, a little wisp
of a blond. braided one to-
gether at the Lobster Pot in
Highlands. They formed a
mutual commiseration society
and wept for each other over
the clinking ice. Adele played
one record on the juke box
over and over: That's The
Chance You Take"
THE BARTENDER got the
shakes listening to it. After
an hour, he gave them each
a bowl of potato chips
not out of generosity-but
merely to slow up the sing
ing. My father and I had a
few New Year celebrations
together. After the fourth
round, I always forgot to
count. The more we cele-
brated, the more John COM
planned that the stuff they
were turning out tasted like
water.
I never knew him to sing,
