Wow Ellie. That is an amazing occurence. I am happy for your new found facial freedom. In our family not being able to smile and laugh is a disability. And Joe wasn't there to appreciate it. He was out with Pizza Joe saucing the town. I haven't seen Pizza Joe in a while. Now there is a funny guy, i wonder if he let Joe Maha work the counter or the ovens? Now there had better be pictures of all this. Joe and Joe probably should not be allowed to work in the same kitchen. Wish I was there. I'd be the missing Joe.

So my dad has talked the Uncle V into buying an ipod. I do not know how to respond to this. I do not recall there being a touchtone phone at castle 1526 and we know how the direct deposit thing went over. Is there not some fundamental law of physics that prevents you from jumping across evolutionary milestones. What i find most interesting is the fact that neither brother owns or uses a personal computer. I am fascinated. Its a great thing. I am greatly moved by the amount of ambition and emotion my uncle V expresses regularly at Spumoni and I am sure it has everything to do with Big Vin. It is an ideal relationship when 1 brother is mild and impressionable and the other is eccentric and relentless. It is not always so ideal for the mother but hey she has new job so she can get away once in a while.
