Brrr! Starting to get cold.



The Christmas Village is now open and Holiday stuff starts coming out.



S & S O Produce Farms puts out a Black Dirt Brand crushed tomato sauce. The Black Dirt in Goshen, NY is well-known for its taste enhancing properties.



Bonk was so enjoyable, I had to pick up Packing for Mars.



The Queens Library had this available, scooped it right up.



Picked up a Sam Adams Winter Classics Twelve-Pack. In the pack, there are 2 bottles each of:
Boston Lager - always good, their signature beer
Holiday Porter - Chalky , bitter and excellent
White Ale - Surprisingly good, wasn't expecting the flavor
Chocolate Bock - Best of the pack, you can taste the Chocolate and it's smooth
Winter Lager - Quite good , cinnamon, ginger, and hint of citrus from the orange peel
Old Fezziwig Ale - Reminds me of Brooklyn Beer's Old Bluderbuss, 2nd best after Bock.

Election Day. I voted. I always do.



Post-vote lunch at London Lennie's Crab Fest.



Sam Adams on tap. I like the glasses. Will make a
good Christmas gift.



Library trip resulted in three books to read.
This one just came out. Fortune Magazine examined
Ten Maxims.



I lived near the festival during the Summer and attended
the festival. The author's hand-drawn map in the front
is wrong and puts White Lake on the wrong side of 17B.
I E-mailed the author and he said it was a publisher error
and that I was the first to notice.



There used to be a Bear wrestling place on
First Avenue and 10th Street: McLaughlin's
Bear Pit. This author and others I have read take apart
Asbury's Gangs of New York.



Beat the Devil is now on Free Movies on Demand.
Co-written by Truman Capote.

O'Hara: I give you my word, I feel to you like an older brother. Oh, it's not so much a difference of age. It's probably, yes, the reason is, because I come from a culture which is so much older than yours. In my country, a child of 6 years old is older in his heart than you'll be at, at 60.

Billy Dannreuther: It smokes, it drinks, it philosophizes... at this rate I'll be 60 before you get to the point.
