Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm thankful for the wonderful blessing of belonging to our wild and crazy family and for the caring and respect that we share with one another.

It's almost time for the family Turkey day. We'll sure miss Seraph, Robbie, Isabell, Sadie, Greg, Dorothy and the Eskinds. Hard to believe they are living so far south and east. We'll consume a turkey leg and a lot of dressing in honor of them. Meanwhile, I'm putting together corn pudding for the dinner and hoping it will come out tasing like something the pilgrims would eat. ON Japanese Thanksgiving we stuff sushi with turkey, dressing and cranberries. 

Thanks Sue for hosting the dinner and for taking the time to find those special recipies for this wonderful holiday. Wouldn't it be fun to have a no sweat dinner with only items that come from high sodium content cans or from the frozen dinner section of the store. Here's what I propose: Spam roast with pineapple and stove top stuffing mix with tofu (for Adam); Cheese Whiz on Ritz Crackers; Vienna Sausages on Cresent Rolls; Frozen Sucotash, Ice berg lettuce salad whipped into green jello, cottage cheese and pineapple, Chey Boyardee Ravioli or Mac and Cheese, and last but not least..Hostess Twinkee's topped with Cool Whip and Chocolate Sprinkles and a gallon of Gallo Roma Tokay to keep us warm and merry. Any takers?

Yikes it's November already! I returned from ...

Yikes it's November already! I returned from Morro Bay, California where I spent a long weekend with 9 of my junior high school friends. We've been getting together since we turned 50 and will continue to plan these wild, fun and crazy reunions every two years. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting the Hearst Castle in San Simeon.I can't believe my friends don't age..could it be because of Lady Clairol in their hair or are they the Asian version of Dorian Gray?

Now it's back to reality and practicing for another gig. This Friday, November 6th we'll be playing at Hodgepodge Hawaii Grill (2190 W. 11th, just west of Garfield.) If you have nothing better to do...come on down, have a nice meal and a few laughs as we sing more doo wop songs. We're on at 7 PM. This time we're singing in the nude..only kidding.. Just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention! Aloha
