I have an excuse! I was in Merkin land... where... um.... they don't
have internet access.

No, really.

...they don't.

...or televisions...

...BUT they do have Il Cortile in NYC (the wedding 'do' restaurant). G
and I dined there and being recognised by the manager (you remember the
bald chap? very nice fellow) were quite unexpectedly given a free
desert...

...of course, this was sprung on us after we were stuffed (to Mr
Creosote levels) and fit only for espressos... so we had to nibble a
little and smile a lot.

The desert in question was Cannoli. You may remember (if you were still
remotely sober at that time) that Psycho Mike demanded I try one that
night, which caused said manager to head out into Mulberry street rather
late in the night, as they were not on the menu.

They are now :-)

If you'd come to California and give Appalachia a miss, you might find
more services.

At least the F1 race was on "broadcast" tele. You mean to say you
missed that too??

Indeed. I must dine there again.

Bald Guy: And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin Cannoli.

Mr Creosote-Duffin: No.

Bald Guy: Oh sir! It's only a tiny little thin one.

Mr Creosote-Duffin: No. f.ck off - I'm full...

Bald Guy: Oh sir... it's only wafer thin.

Mr Creosote-Duffin: Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely
stuffed. Bugger off.

Bald Guy: Oh sir, just... just one...

Mr Creosote-Duffin: Oh all right. Just one.

Bald Guy: Just the one, sir... voila... bon appetit...

And didn't he leave with a box of them?

As soon as I have any money, I will (money... ah yes, I remember that...
green and foldy, is it not?)

I've no idea. I was so drunk I was lucky to leave with my wife.

Hey now, if MCPD visits Appalachia we're happy to have him. We have
several edible plants available, and if he ever returns to the dark
side we
have all manner of edible varmints as well.

Although Paulo, if somebody complements you on your "pretty mouth"
you had better start running.

Yes, MC managed to leave with the leftovers. I was surprised the
restaurant
didn't have cannolli on the menu before. The ones the manager found
were
exquisite though.

With MC as our resident sommelier for the evening most of us were lit
before the first appetizer, hence all the hairstyle competitions at our

table. Sadly, it was too late for T308... :-)

As for San Marino, well, I was probably using my new lawnmower at
the time. It does appear to closely replicate Rosso Corsa on the engine

cover, but a 6.75hp flathead does little to inspire thoughts of
exotica. The
front wheel drive lends itself to understeer at the limit, but the
larger rear
wheels help with rough terrain...

Okay, I'll stop now...

In other vehicle news, now that the weather is nice and I now live near
a fairly
affluent area the car-spotting has been outstanding! I have seen a 355
Spider,
an Austin-Healey Sprite, various 924/944s (I had one, can't help it), a
pair of
Studebaker Hawks, a 993 being chased by a 997, a 70s-80s vintage Alfa
Romeo Spider, and more that I'm forgetting right now. The Sprite
sounded
a lot like my mower, with a seriously cammy, snotty idle. The 355 was
actually a little disappointing in that the door shut with a "thwap"
and since
the owner had the stock exhaust and was driving gently the engine just
sounded "busy". If I owned it would these things bother me? I doubt it,
but
I dunno, a cheesy door-shut is one of my pet peeves.

Anyway, back to the important stuff. So this mower has "E-Z start",
and....

I thought a 'varmint' was a pest?

Depends on who's shooting it. Some think squirrels are pests, some
people eat 'em.

Message sent.

You can't eat at an Italian restaurant and not have Cannoli for desert.
