*** SIGN OF THE TIMES, GET USED TO IT! *** WELCOME TO ZOMBIELAND ***
I will be there on Tuesday.
You don’t need any more sausage.
Saving it all for yourself, yahooy??? Come down to city hall and make your voice heard. Maybe Mario will feed you some sausage. Was that too risqué for you? Nah, you can handle it, or so I’ve heard! Nothing wrong with sausage as long as you are not kosher. Now I know you aren’t so if your mouth is watering, satisfy it.
Muddled that early in the morning. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
🙂
There is a new Testo’s Restaurant in Brooklawn on the Fairfield side having a cocktail and grand opening soirée on the same day. I have been asked to go. I think I can fit in a free glass of wine and some pizza before continuing on to this meeting. Very Mata Hari, don’t you think? 😉
