Pizza and Golf Carts

Uncle D. made his first pizza sauce and pizza dough this past week,I think we had
pizza maybe three or four times,but it was all good. Me, I'm strictly pepperoni,
mi famiglia likes the works, everyting on the pie, you know what I mean? Vegetables,
fruit, you name it, it goes on the pie. They go with the onions and the olives and
the arugula(its a v e g e t a b l e,My Blue Heaven)and anything else youse can imagine.
And get this, I even used the food processor to make the dough.... yeah thats right,
thats me Donnie the food processor operator guy. I'm good like that, you know what I mean?
On another note, Uncle D has been teaching his daughter Bug how to drive. It is going real well, but I think she's gonna have to start driving me to the liquor store,on
account of Uncle Donnies nerves ain't what they used be, capisci, and then it really
will be true that she's drivin me to drink, if you unnastand my meaning?
It seems like just yesterday she was just drivin me around the golf course in the cart,
which technically only adults were supposed to drive,whats the big deal, she was 10 or 12
maybe younger, but the point is, fuggetaboudit, I can't remember what the point is...
Marone, I think I need a nap!
Arrivederci,
Uncle Donnie

Sunday at the beach

Hey, hey, hey, whattya say?
Uncle D went to the coast today, with Buggles and my trophy wife Betty and it was very
therapeutic! Been a year since we last got to the ocean. We took a very long walk on the
beach, and even though we saw a lot of Adams and Steves and Madams and Eves, we hadda
great time walking in the surf...I said surf not smurf pal!
Lately Uncle D has been libating with a new drink, a ginger and Jack. That would be
ginger ale and Jack Daniels. One part J.D. and three parts ginger ale and one slice of
lime. Its all good, you know what I mean? I think it helps me to concentrate and stay
focused, very therapeutic. I think I like that word therapeutic, and if you know me,
you know therapy is what I truely need, fuggetaboudit. It reminds me when Don Vito and
Michael were plannin their strategy and the Don says to Michael, "I've been drinking
more wine lately", and Michael says to the Don," don't worry pop, It's good for you",
and the Don says, "all my life I tried not to be careless, women can be careless. but
not men".
I guess it's better to be carefree than careless!

Scougal, Flavel and Burroughs

Uncle Donnie just finished reading a great little book entitled, The Life Of God In the
Soul of Man, written by an old dead guy named Henry Scougal. Here is a little sample:
"The power and life of religion may be better expressed in actions than in words,
because actions are more lively things, and do better represent the inward principle
whence they proceed"....
"The root of Divine life is faith; the chief branches are love to God, charity to
man, purity and humility; for as an excellent person hath well observed, however these names be common and vulgar, and make no extraordinary sound, yet do they carry such a
mighty sense, that the tongue of men or angel can pronounce nothing more weighty or
excellent."
The next book entitled, Facing Grief; Counsel for Mourners, by John Flavel is another
good one that might come in handy... I'm pretty sure Jesus would have you read it, you
know what I mean?
This last book is really kickin my but, right where it needs to be kicked and for good reason, on account of Donnies behavior sometimes leaves much to be desired, if you know
what I mean? Anyways this book written by Jeremiah Burroughs is titled, Gospel
Conversation; Conduct Worthy of the Gospel, and it is a compelling read.... convicting
me with every page, whattamIgonnado?
Its like when the obvious is right in front of you and it blows right past you without
you knowing it. Just like in Godfather 1 when the Turk says to Tom Higgins,"whattsa
matter consigliere, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already, get in the car"
This book by Burroughs helps you to see the blown by obvious. Uncle D obviously would'nt
know the obvious even if the obvious jumped up and bit Uncle D on the........well,
I'm sure you get my meaning.
Get the book and read it.
Ciao,
D
