Actually I think it was the foot massage I gave Mario earlier today. It seemed to put him in a trance (does for me ) We'll have to remember that. Richard's Slushies gained a certain notoriety at Gini's BBQ bash last July and seem to get better with every batch. Oh what the hell, just let me set up another blender because now that my work day is just about over, I want a HUGE slushie - any color will do
