You made it this far........midnight's the cutoff.

Midnight?

Of what decade?

Oh, just had the pumpkin cheesecake in real life - 'twas every bit as yummy as I remembered! I am so glad I'm not allergic to pumpkin!

Some mulled cider, please, as the weather's gotten much cooler around here! Today was the first morning I smelled wood smoke when I stepped outside, means someone had the fireplace going!

Shed some tears when I picked up Sasha's ashes. Barkeep could I get a little something to toast to my dear departed girl? How about a gin/tonic? Lots of lime.

Here's to Miss Sasha, who gave 15 fantastic years, lived thru 2 rotten marriages, loved a sister dog, ferrets and cats, never hurt a fly and walked my butt off for years! I love you Sasha, will miss you till we meet again one fine day.

I'll second that toast, and add one of my own; to John Schwartz, a dear friend of the family, you were a wonderful man and will be missed. I'll be singing at his memorial service in a little while.

No bringing down the house, it's a celebratory toast to a life well lived!

Salut!

I'll third the above toasts, and add one as well. Here's to my dearest, bestest friend Lisa, gone one year in a few weeks. I miss you for so many reasons. God blessed me with you.

Now, no more tears for me. Barkeep, may I have more decaf and another pumpkin biscotto, please? I hope that is the singular of "biscotti", but maybe if not, someone would correct me.

We rarely correct, always protect... when you are here you are with friends. As a sidebar to absolutely nothing I went to the store today and bought another bottle of [cheap] white wine. This one's called "Unleashed". It has a crazy lable with an (of course) crazy Irish Setter (what other kind of IS dogs are there??) galloping across some hills... perhaps we here at Thursdays should invest in that CA winery. "Unleashed" sounds like a theme song

Hang in there all... love you.

As long as we're toasting - I'd like to add one if I may.

To my dear brother John, who would have celebrated his 70th birthday on 11/3, but passed away 5 years ago last April at the young age of 64.

In his honor, I'll have his favorite Saturday night special - wings and beer. Make those wings HOT the way he liked them please - the hotter, the better!

Here's to you Brother. I miss ya'.....

Sorry - but I can't think of anything pumpkin that would go with wings and beer.

**RICHARD** · 10-24-2009, 06:24 PM

Next Sat it will be 8 years since my Dad passed.

I'll put out a platter of biscotti, a pot of decaf coffee.

Hot Wings, a corkscrew, beer and no more tears...

Cheers!

DONE!

We were talking at work on Friday because one of my co-workers was leaving for Michigan after work for a benefit, a winery tour and tasting. We discovered that 3 out of the 4 of us on my team choose wine based on the illustration on the label (teammate #4 doesn't drink at all) ... so ... I'll be on the lookout for "Unleashed" with the Irish Setter on the bottle!
