October Blurr

HiYa Pallies,
How is life treatin you? Good I hope. The thing is October has
been just one big blurr, you know what I mean. I mean whattayagonnado?
Lets Review:
Prostate cancer diagnosis....it is what it is!
Brand new granddaughter; she'saso beautiful, bella bambino.
New Church membership at a church whose Pastor guy reminds me
of Burt Reynolds; on my childrens grave....sometimes I'm thinkin the
sermon is from Smokey And The Bandit, you know what I mean?
At least the World Series was short, fuggetaboudit, what happened to
the Yankees(I mean losers).
Did I ever tell you Uncle Donnie loves peaches?
Jeremiah Burroughs rocks!
Ciao,
Uncle Donnie

Hold Your Nose And Vote For.........

Hey it's late September and I really should be back at school.Steal my daddys cue and make
a livin playin pool. Thanks to you Rodney Stewart. Uncle Donnie always kinda liked
Rodney Stewart, you know what I mean?
Gotta few things for your consideration. First thing is what are beets good for anyway. They
taste like dirt, am I right? You can take the beets outta the earth, but you can't take the earth
outta the beets! See where I'm goin here. Raw, cooked, boiled, anyway you have them
they always taste like dirt.
Second thing is this upcoming presidential thing, right? Well, my advice to you is to hold
your nose and vote for the Mormon, I mean the republican. Even with a name like Mitt, I
doubt he could catch a break here and win. I really don't want four more yrs. of comrade
Obama though, capisci mi?
Last thing is I heard about this young mother recently who tried to kill two birds with
one stone and attached a swiffer mop to her crawling crumb cruncher(read little one).
She figured she might as well get her floors done and exercise the little bambino,
whattayagonnado?

Ciao

Move Like Jagger

Hey, how you doin?
Long time no see. Whattaya been doin with yourselves lately?
Me, I've been busy with this thing and that thing. You know what I mean?
Went to see my people on the east coast recently; you know family stuff,
grandkids,daughter, son-in-law, food. It was all good. Had some good arancini
in Cape Cod Mass.. Heard this story about how my grandaughter  is such
an efficient 'pooper'. Apparently, she gets in the bathroom and gets her business
done very quickly. Her dad was saying how he wished he could poop that  effeciently!
We all laughed at his telling the story but all I could think of was that Adam Levin
tune, I gotta move like Jagger.Uncle D bein who he is was hearing in his mind.....
I gotta poop like Lily, I gotta poop like Lily,oooooooo, poop like Lily.
Whattayagonnado
Probably gonna get some grief about this retelling.
Fuggetaboudit! Whats done is done. I can't take it back.
Anyways the chowdah and the lobstah was ahsome(read awesome).
Tiamo,
Uncle D.

I've Been Everywhere Man

Hows come every time Uncle Donnie listens to the radio or the T.V. all he
seems to hear about is trouble in the Muslim world. I mean I've just about jihad
enough already. Now the Libyans have killed our ambassader and four others, and
destroyed our embassy there to their shame. Shame on you, you heathen sons of Esau.
Your blood should be running in the streets of Tripoli, this very hour for what you have done.
Better just leave it there Don. Don't you think?
Have you heard about Scarbucks coffee? It'll leave a mark on you, you know what I mean?
How do I know this thing?
Well, I've been everywhere man, in my underwear man. I've been everywhere man
Without my underwear man. I've been everywhere.
Thanks to John Cash for the inspiration.
Gonna play some no-limit Scrabble later on.
Ciao,
Uncle Donnie

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
