Living an elitist elf life - The great recall: Boxing daze 2.0

They say top shelf is the best of the best

But for me it means can’t get any rest (not even what we, up here, call a "cap nap")

The song 🎵 One is the loneliest number...

Itself, like the rest of us, came up a bit short... as in reaching up to number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1969, spending three full weeks at #2 on the Cash Box Top 100... (Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" while his own, biggest hitter, also only managed to crawl up #2 on the Top 100 chart)...

Topping it off... the so-called Elf on the Shelf, while moving up the charts, as in turning 20** this year, finds itself coming up short on shelf life just a few days later -- being treated as just another has been ("what have you done for me lately?") simply tucked away...whether in a drawer, in a box…top (talk about feeling exposed)...hanging around the rafters in the garage or "Santa forbid" stuck up in the attic, where all kinds of other critters and inanimate objects will vie for the shelf space...and why you might hear noise coming from up there, the rest of the year...

Filing for seasonal one-employment compensation… Cha Ching $$! "It's a One-derful Life"

**finally reaching an age of shelf sufficiency”😳

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
