Because there's no such thing as too much cheese. Unrolling the braciole of consciousness; shaping the meatball of life. Because everything is funny; you just need to view it from the proper angle. Good for cats. Made in Poland. Because everything is like a hat. You know how those gorillas can be... Very unforgiving.

Right now, Joe Biden is speaking live on TV and I'm not making this up...praising the amazing success of the stimulus bill. I'm speechless....on one hand its hysterically funny...but at the same time it is horribly frightening. If his speech is a joke, then the punchline is this week jobless claims rose another 225,000 and the unemployment reached a new high of 9.7%. Anyway, I don't want to devote much time to this mockery, the media no doubt will...applauding his guts, honesty and working class vernacular. I'm going to forgo making fun and simply ignore it.

So without counting my chickens before they hatch, Jennie and I are in the process of signing onto a witness relocation program, one that would put us just a mile from the beach and Juno Pier...well-suited for reputed sun-worshipper Sfingi. I've been noticing a trend in his comments about Ohio's chilly temperatures, while we down south now require flame retardant suits just to get the mail. The new place also has a fenced in courtyard perfect for barbecuing salziccia, zucchini and the occasional fresh beet.

In more serious news, kindly say a little prayer for my godmother, the incomparable Terry Martucci, as she recovers from a successful kidney transplant. Shes doing great and we hope that it continues that way. I've been told there's normally a long wait for a new organ, but luckily Uncle Andy was able to purchase one with his Marlboro miles.....just kidding, just kidding.

In a second serious medical note, we also request some prayers for Kelly Fatone, who was admitted to ICU in Orlando yesterday for observation of some blood clots. We wish her a speedy recovery, and safe return back home.

Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update on things. Oh yeah, Jenia and I are attempting to bring back the old school tough guy drinks, when we have to order at the bar. We have started with the The Manhattan and Tom Collins. I dont watch Mad Men or old James Cagney movies...anyone know any others they can recommend? I kinda remember the Grasshopper and the Gimlet...but not the ingredients in either....I seem to remember Creme de Menthe being integral. Anyway, lemme know.

By the way, I am typing this from my phone....this is coming from a guy who still doesnt know how to put a picture on Facebook.
