Vol. GO No. LIONS

Just home from Florida, belated Christmas visits with precious family who, thankfully, all live in the same area. Lots of camaraderie, healthy (yeah, right) food from Hibachi to Penne a la Vodka (no, can’t get high only more Italian) to Enchiladas and chips (BIG YEA). Weather good, enough sun, and best of all? No Drama.

Amazing news: Both going to Florida and coming home, not a single problem, on-time flights, very pleasant. The trick, of course, is to try to fly non-stop and avoid blizzards.

Wow, it’s only one week to Christmas and all through the house – okay, no more Christmas Trite. All decorated here and I just walk around and look at my collection of small elves, the old but hanging-in-there carolers and the stockings hung on the fireplace mantle. I particularly stop and admire Aldo and Vinny Armani. (Photos in this merry missive.)

What a wonderful month -- beginning Christmas shopping and wrapping, football, gorgeous fall leaves and - THANKSGIVING. I don't know a single sentient person who doesn't love stuffing and cranberry sauce. Okay, let's add in some pumpkin pie and my thighs are pulsing in anticipation

Vol. Sea No. Sick

Happy Fall, Everyone

Here we go - excellent news. On the 22nd, we officially say a blessed farewell to the wretched hot summer weather for another year. But why, you ask? It's the Autumn Equinox, and summer is officially over and like Elvis has to exit the building.
