The Contessa may be a very fast walker....Three steps seems respectably far away, still. At least to me

Ah....They knew my late brother then....The motto that he lived by....
I was surprised to see that Rufus was born in 1917. He was a hip old man that was known as Carla’s dad.

No gigs involving me this weekend; visiting family at Casa Raton*. Semi-set plans for Thanksgiving, then an American Legion gig next Saturday, usually well attended but Holiday weekends are sometimes iffy(people in SE FL go north to be with family or family comes south and takes up our regular's time).We shall see. Hope everyone has a good turkey day.

This is the magic shell treatment I found first thing this morning.
(Magic Shell is a topping that hardens on contact with ice cream.)
Only now with the larger part of a lifetime in the past tense am I able to tolerate rum. I owe that distaste to youthful inexperience. A bit with eggnog is okay. Eggnog with brandy is more palatable to me.
It appears I'll be solo for Thanksgiving.

If you are in the neighborhood, drop in. If you can stand it, I know we can.
With some snow on the ground, the wild birds in the park are always hungry.
Every day, I drop off a mix of seeds or suet with seeds for the birds near a particular tree. The next day, it's always gone. Yesterday I was pointing at a small bird with light blue wings and a white breast near the tree where I leave the food. It flew over and landed on my outstretched finger, cheaped hello, and flew off. Today when I dropped off some seeds a group of the same breed were there.
In over 42 years, I've never seen them there. That's enough of a Thanksgiving gift for me.

Not exactly what I'd call usual, even in the Arctic wasteland that doubles as the capitol of NY State.....
"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
Show me the back door
Truth to tell, I once downed a pint of cheap vodka mixed with presweetened lemon-lime KoolAid. Terrible, really. Ended up trying to run through a barbwire fence. But I was only 16 and didnt know any better. When I was 18 I tried to get loaded on Aqua Velva. That went badly too. Of course, during those years, I was a drummer, so allowances have to be made.
