Uncle Donnie's Views from Under the Bus

Hi. I'm Uncle Donnie. My family throws me under the bus regularly. I've decided to prove them all right.

These are my views, opinions and dogma. They don't represent the views of anyone but me. Whaddya gonna do? Leave the gun, take the cannoli. Lean back, drink some chianti, and enjoy my views from under the bus.

A Few Good Things

Hey, how you doin'? You good? Uncle D's good, it's all good! Good is good. It's good
then, right? Yeah, I'm good, seems like all is good, everything is goin' good, lookin' good, I think we're good... So, we must be good? Yeah, life is good. I mean, it's good to know that all is good, and that's pretty good right? I'm just sayin'!
I know it may sound a little weird, but Uncle Donnie has two interests when it comes
to the kind of books he likes to read. He loves to read literature from Puritan (read: old dead guy) writers, and he loves to read about organized crime. to D. it's perfectly normal. I mean, normal is as normal does, right? So recently, Nurse Cratchit (read: my sister-in-law) from up in the Holler sends me a great book entitled, "The Sins Of The Father," written by Albert DeMeo who is the son of the now deceased Gambino Family capo, Roy DeMeo. He tells his story growing up in "The Life", and how it affected and influenced his thinking and behavior in adolescence and in adulthood. Fiercely loyal to his father, he offers an intensely personal snapshot of his experience in coming to terms with his La Cosa Nostra(read: this thing of ours) heritage and how it led to his father's demise. You guessed right, it was a good book, you know what I mean?
Thanks to Nurse C. for a great Christmas gift.
Next time, D. will give a heads up on a good Puritan book he's been reading lately.
Sounds good, right?
Gotta run,
Uncle D.
