Good-bye August

Hi Ya Pallies,
Uncle Donnie cannot believe that tomorrow is the 1st of September! I mean
where has all the time gone? Seems like summer came and went pretty fast.
Anyways, life is good, God is patient, Betty is still my oasis, and I remain
ever thirsty....."stay thirsty my friends"! Heard many of the speeches from
the RNC convention, really liked Chris Christie, governor of NJ. Maybe it
is because he is half Sicilian that had somethin to do with it, I dunno! The
other half of the governor is Irish....I'll pray for him, you know what I mean?
Condoleesa Rice reminded me again why I lean more to the libertarian worldview!
Dirty Harry was entertaining, and Huckabee was right on, I thot.
I thought Paul Ryan reminded me of Bryan Hangartner. Itsa long story!
Hey, I gotta go!
Good-bye August,
Uncle Donnie

Tough Month

Long time, no see,It's me Uncle D.
Everyone been good? Coupla things, then I gotta go. Seems me and the
trophy wife, Betty, are off  for a little r and r, you know what I mean?
From drizzle to sizzle, a little Warm Springs time, fun in the sun, right?
Been a tough month, my mom had a heart attack, so we have been a little
preoccupied. She's improving every day, so that's good. Time to escape for
a few, we need it?
We did have some fun recently. We went with our friends, Takashi,the card
whisperer and Mrs. Woods to a summer concert of Blues music. We heard
Buddy, the six-time grammy winner Guy, Johnny Lang, and this new kid
Quinn Sullivan, who blew our socks off with his guitar play. Fuggetaboudit,
the kid is only 13 years old, and he plays the guitar just like ringing a bell!
Can youse believe it is the end of August already?
Hey, stay outta trouble and I'll be talkin to youse soon, whattayagonnado,
not listen to me? You'll listen, trust me, I know these things.
Tiamo,
D

A Certain Smile

Uncle D has been singing Mathis tunes, so here is another favorite...A Certain
Smile.
A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings

You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again

You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again

Ciao,
Uncle Donnie
