EFF IT, WE'RE GOING DANCING

Hey, hows everybody doin? Uncle D. hopes you all hadda Buon Natale. That would be a Merry
Christmas,for most of you, if you know what I mean? We hadda pretty swell Christmas this year,
and I even wept at a church service on Christmas eve, whattayagonna do, It was that moving.
We had some good eats like ale chili on the Friday before Christmas, and uova in purgatorio(eggs
in purgatory) on Saturday morning. Maybe some day D. will tell you about that dish, and maybe not,
we'll see how it goes. On Christmas day it was seafood casserole, savory cheesy potatoes, and  ham.
Oh yeah, we had mimosas and gingerbread cookies and a little J. Daniels, just to make the season
bright, capisci mi? Was it good , you say? Fuggetaboudit! It wassa so good mi amici.
Have you ever mixed a little J. Daniels with a glass of Airborne? Just askin?
So from various forays into the Peoples Republic of Portland I ran across three of the funniest sayings
in 2011. One was a bumper sticker that read'  New York, London, Paris, Estacada.
The next was on a T-shirt at the Saturday market which read;  Caution, Cooking leads to Spooning
and Forking. The last was in a window of one of the little shops, on a framed print which read: Eff
It, we're going dancing. Uncle D laughed at all three!
The best quote of the year came from the Puritan, John Flavel: "The lust must be subdued if the
conversation is to be honest!"
Hey, when you are havin a little vino on New Years Eve, be it bianco or rosso, think of Betty, Buggles
and Uncle D.
