Ben and Jack on Christmas. I think I know who is who now. I am really enjoying having them around.
We had many days of Christmas this year. We celebrated it three times. December 17 with my parents and sisters, December 25 with Christel and Hillary, and then tonight, December 27 with Simon and Natasha, Taylor, David, Ben, and Jack, and Hillary. We have eaten a lot of great food. Christmas Eve we had a French Onion Soup that I made. And tonight, Christel made a London Broil with Cranberries and Port which was simply incredible. Simon brought a delightful Cabernet from Napa. Creme Brulee for dessert.
Simon and I are going to Oakland tomorrow to see B.B. King in concert at the Paramount. This was my Christmas gift from him.
Wonderful...

You said you're leaving. You've shattered my dreams. All my other plans dear, forgotten it seems. I knew it had to happen--I'm not surprised. I'll survive.
Tony, how was the concert? What are your favorite B.B.'s?
Once, many many years ago, I saw B.B. King, just him and Lucille, in a small high school auditorium. We sat on the floor a few feet from B.B. himself. The opening act was this unknown comedy team called Cheech and Chong. Good times.
Hope your Christmas was great,
mio fratello.
There was Adam, happy as a man could be
Till Eve got him messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Lot took his wife down to the corner for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
Till one night she clipped him all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman?
They'll do it every time
Those are beautiful grandkids, Tony. You should be proud. Kudos to Simon, too on the gift. It seems rare that we are ever that good at giving gifts to our parents.
