Left over story from our northeast visit: After the service for Donna’s aunt the family gathered at a nice Italian restaurant in Summit, NJ, where we were served a five course meal. Donna and I sat at kind of the “kids” table with the youngest cousin, her husband and their young daughter, a couple of family friends and the daughters of the middle two cousins, Susan’s two girls Meghan 14, Jessica 12 and Mary’s 14 year-old Kristen. When they came around taking drink orders those three girls to my right ordered Shirley Temples, I had a glass of red wine and for fun Donna ordered a Shirley Temple too. I’m not to sure who started it, might have been Jessica, but the girls decided to see if they could take their cherry stems and tie them into a knot in their mouths using just their tongues.
Meghan was the only one of the three to actually accomplish the feat, we of course applauded her success. If I was her father I’m not so sure that I’d have been that proud and I would have definitely instructed her not to demonstrate that talent on a date with a hormonally charged teenager.
Arri’s Grill for supper. Two 1/3 lb hand formed patties of ground chuck served with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mayo and mustard. We split an order of fries.

I’ve got a 485 CD collection that is rarely used anymore. Matter of fact, if it wasn’t for the rental car the other week and the one we’ll be driving out west in another month they wouldn’t ever leave the shelves they sit on. So I have decided to rip them all into MP3s and store ’em on my hard drive. I’ve done about 30 so far, but I haven’t really been applying myself to the project. I mean if I do get them done, what do I do with all that plastic? Maybe I can find somebody to wholesale ’em to about 50¢ a piece…

I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue. The funny thing is, the last time I did it was 18 years ago… on a date with a hormonally charged early 20-something guy. A guy about whom I was hormonally charged.
I could never give up the CDs…I have thousands. After all, what happens if the computer or mp3 player crash and burns 🙁 I would be a sad sad girl then.
“A guy about whom I was hormonally charged.”
This is exactly what I’m talking about. Oh the innuendo of it all. And probably why I didn’t say anything to their fathers about the incident was for fear of what they thought I might of thought about while their nubile young daughters performed that trick at the table.
I’ll probably back up all the MP3s to DVDs, probably can get the collection on 4 discs. I’d tell you I never had a computer crash, but I’m afraid if I verbalize it, it will happen tomorrow….dang I did it, now my computer is going to cra
Good luck with that.
