Hmmmm...not a bad suggestion. So good in fact, I dug around in my humi and pulled a Lot 23 out and I am smoking it now. The flavor of the Lot 23 is similar, but something is different. The Cantero seems to be a little stronger flavor. I wonder if it isn't a similar blend with a different wrapper? The Cantero has a little ummpf that the Lot 23 does not - but yes, the basic flavors are similar - like cousins. The wrapper on the Lot 23 is an Ecuadorian Connecticut, while the Cantero uses a shade-grown wrapper grown in the Jalapa Valley. (I thought it was a sungrown wrapper, but apparently I was wrong.)

Sept 9 2007, it is Sunday Again & time for the Sunday morning news from the dining room table , well it has been a very quiet week here in da Burgh , with Labor day last monday we were some what slow all week, the weather was FRAND all week till Saturday then it rained & is still raining this morning, I have a soggy cigar in the ashtry on the back deck to show for it , , I now know , Dont leave a Monte Platnum out on the deck all night , it is like a sponge & will not stay lit no matter how hot you get it & then the smoke is so dammmmmmm hot you cant enjoy it , Oh well after all these years you would think I would have better sence than that but just remember whos talking here & the idea of common sence just flys out the window with me hahaha
I did have a great breakfast this morning , I got up gratted sopme potatos & made pancakes with them , the wife was suprised , a little bacon & sour cream , dammmmm I hope this is an indication of how good the food will be the rest of the day, BUT I dont think so, , we are having a cigar tasting this afternoon at the shop during the Steeler Browns game , the local Altadis rep wanted to have a place to watch the game so he told his wife he had to work, Smart man , gets out of the house & gets free Beer on top of it ! dammmmm, so I will be going to the shop for a few hours today just to "help" a little hahahaha
I have some chicken breasts , swiss cheese & a few slices of Prosutte cappacola that will get all rolled up & backed today , maybe a little fresh herbs & some olive oil to season them with, & we can finishe the left over potatoe cakes from this morning, hummmmm sounds Ok to me !
, We got up early yeaterday to go watch the #2 grandson play soccor , but with all the thunder & lightning the game was a washout so I got up early for nothing , had to be at the field at 9 but we were back home before 10, & I got a mid morning nap hahahaha
later in the day the boss & her sister went shopping & I got an afternoon nap, yep sleeping like a baby , awake every 2 hours to get up & go to the bathroom ! hahaha, dammm I hate that, , got to cut back on the coffee before bed tome, not that I cant sleep, just full of liquid & need to get ride of it !
I have an appointment with the eye doc at 8 am Monday, , it looks like it will be an all day session, , drops at 8 sit & wait, see the nurse, get more drops at 9, & see the doc by ten, hahaha, if I am lucky, lazer treatment , injection & more drops , then home to sit in the dark for a few hours & them to the shop for MONDAY night football, OH joy, like I could give a good crap about working late on Monday & then neding to open On Tuesday , I wonder who the DUMBASS was that thought up this schedual, hummmmm Oh yea that was me , dammmmm what was I thinking at the time !, must have been all the great single malt & & contraband cigars I was enjoying ! hahahaha

I got the trees trimmed in the yard, but he didnt have a tall enough ladder to top them so that is still on the adjenda & the herb garden needs to be weeded, dammm I hate that job, maybe I will just get the line trimmer out & chop it all down HUMMMMMMMM ,,just pull what is ready to dry & cut everything else down to the ground, , a lazy mans way of weeding ! hahahaha

, I just got a call from a customer , he is laying some block this morning & wants me to come open the shop so he & his helpers can get a Cigar, , dammmm I just got up an hour ago, I havent had my morning pot of kona & he wants me to get dressed & drive to the shop 11 miles one way , open up for him to get a few packs of DeNobilie & not even pay me for them till some time next week when he gets paid , hahahah, Now thats BALLLLLLLLLLLS , I think he is going to need to go to the drug store or the gas station & pay for his cigars this morning , I sure am not going to go in & open this early for no sale , NOW if he wants to spend a few hundred bucks to make it worth my time , well thats a differnt story, but to get 3 packs @2.75 per pack on credit , NO F WAY , dammm give them an inch & they want to take a mile , besides we will be open at noon providing Tim remembers he is opening today hahahahaha , thats just an hour from Now , & if I were to stop playing on the computer right now get a shower & drive to the shop it would be almost noon anyhow, so lay the block with out the cigars buddy or just WAIT tioll Noonbecause I am not making a special trip in to open early , till i have finished my Sunday morning postings & rreadmy E mail , contray to public opinion I do have a life outside the shop , now maybe if I lived upstairs from the shop & ran it myself 16 hours a day it might be different, ahahahaha, BUT dont count on it hahahaha

I think that about all I have right noe maybe more later if I find the time hahaha Enjoy, Vince

[Dickson-cl]

Damn Vince you eat very well. To bad about the soccer game. At least you got a nap in. I had a buddy have me try a DeNobli at a campout. Not bad, for a dry stick. As always a great read.

[Vince]

well this is Sunday Morning again , we have made it an other week on this " Third rock from the Sun" ,
not a lot going on here , with back to school & a slight chill in the air high school Football has returned to Friday Night & the traffic in the shop has slowed a lot , but it picks up after the games are over , we did have a house full this past friday night, I was a little worried as I paid the help for the week there wasnt enough left to pay myself with the cash on hand , lots of credit card sales all day , but not enough cash to make all the payroll for the day , the week was fine, I just use the cash from Friday to pay everyone for the week, well at 8 Pm I still didnt have enough to pay me & leave change in the regester for the next day , & as soon as the games were over , I was looking for places to put the cash that didnt fit in the regester, , it was like a feeding frenzy, one minute it was calm & the smooth jazz was in the background & BLAM the gun went off at the statium & the game was over, I have no idea who won let alone who was playing hahahaha , all I know we were 3 deep at the regester & soon I had enough for my pay & the rent , pluss the utilitys all in one night hahahaha, dammmm I hate friday nights hahahahaha
I have been having a little trouble with my eyes again, so if the words are missspllled a little more than usual well I am typing looking at the key board & not looking to what the screen is saying , like that would matter anyhow, hahaha, I had a small bleeder in the right eye this time, after getting the left eye to 20/60 , now the right eye that was 20/20 with the trifocals , is now under going the same treatment as the left one did & soon I will be getting the cateract removed from the left eye , , so if the words just dont look right thats the reason this week, most of the time it is sheer lazyness & not using the spell check ! hahahaha ,
the Grandsons is back playing scoccor & this time it is a mixed team Boys & girls, he is sitting on the bench a little more than before the girls are agressive players & he isnt , so they get more playing time than him, & the tream is better off for it , some of the girls should be playing in the NHL , dammmm they go at it hard, good thing they dont have sticks they would be chopping each other up hahahahaha
I was checking out the pantry last night I found a box of cake flour that had an expiration date of 06 on the box, well it was just about half full so I thought I would use it today, for Pancaks, , what the hell , flour in a plastic bag in a box , as long as there are no bugs in it , I am going to do some thing with it , so I made up a batch of pancakes , NOT BAD at all , a little blasmic viniger added to the milk to sout it , with a pinch of baking soda & baking powder added to the flout an egg & everything had a nice rise to it & a "different taste" than butter milk would have given me , well it used up a bit of the cake flour anyhow, no reason to toss it out when it can still be used dammm thats why some one invented bread pudding, waist not whatnt not , use the left overs to make some thing new , so we had a nice breakfast & since it is cool out ( the furnace ran last night ) looks like a Hunk of BEEF is in order for today BEEF , its whats for dinner ! , just need to get out the cast iron Dutch oven & get it in the oven my noon . & I have just under an hour to prep, ( I can go from the chill chest to the oven in about 6 minutes & end up with gravy tht is almost heaven ! hahaha NO brag , just fact !, lets face it I have been doing this longer that some of you guys & gals have been alive , NOT that I am old, I just started young hahahahaha
I have the Kona working right now , & I have a Java coffee mixed with a little Kenya AA ready to go on the or in the Press pot as soon as this one is empty , I am skipping the Don Carlos this morning as I have a NEW Cigar to try & I want it to be the first one of the day , a Nic araguan puro from Savanelli , so I want to try it first that way I can get a fresh tase bud to figure out if I like it or not hahahahahah , it has to be a mighy Poor smoke for me NOT to like it hahahaha , I smoke almost anything but the flavored crap & infused $hit like acid, but what is one mans trash is an other mans trasure , I dont like acid but we sell a TON of them, I make fun of some of the guys who smoke them But the few I dont ( a bunch of BIG bad Bikers ) I just tell tem HONDA riders smoke them , hahahahahaha
z almost time for me to get to the kitchen & start the prep wotk for the HUNK O BEEF , got to get the onions, celery & carrots all cut, the peppers roasted & the beef seared in bacon dripping , NO substute to PORK FAT acornding to Emeril !
Enjoy, Vince

Every time I walk outside and there is a little of that fresh autumn air, I just have to pollute it! I imagine sitting outside watching the game in the cool night air had the same effect on your customers.

I went through my cigars yesterday afternoon. After getting everything organized again, I ended up with a dozen or so oddball cigars that look like they are probably dog rockets, but I can't seem to bring myself to toss them without at least trying them. I imagine my ashtray is going to look like a graveyard of half smoked cigars this morning. At least they will be out of the humi and out of my way.

[Vince]

Never toss out an unsmoked cigar, even if its a dog rocket, you never know what some humi time will do for a stick, it just might be a keeper, but if you light it & it is still a rocket, by all means toss the SOB OUT ! enjoy, Vince

[Viper139-cl]

As usual, thanks for sharing.

This is my favorite time of year, just a slight crispness in the morning air.

[Vince]

Good morning all, it is the First day of Autumn, what a wonderful streach of weather we have had here in da Burgh, you need the A/C during the day & the furnace at night ! hahaha yep your in Pittsburgh when that happens , right now we have a layer of Fog covering the area, I just came back in from getting the sunday paper & cant see the intersection just a few hundred yards from me , thick as mushroom soup , with that slightly brown cast to it , the leaves havent started to fall & for the most part are still green, there are a few trees here & there that do have a little color to them, we are a few weeks from the great fall colors we get every year .
I am moving kind of slow this morning kind of like Uncle Joe at the shady rest hotel, havent had breakfast yet, havent even made coffee yet, dammmmmm I must be getting old orsome thing hahahahaha, I am letting the Boss sleep in , & since Mother nature & a full bladder woke me & its to chilly to sit on the back deck & look at the Sunday paper I decided tomake my Sunday Morning post before I get busy & forget to do it ! hahaha
I dont plan on cooking anything today after breakfast that is , time for the dreaded refidagator fall out, yep time to clean up the left overs , so today will be stuffed porkchops left over from Thursday,with some baked sweet potatos , then a little cococnut cream pie left over from Wensday, for desert the local Greek Church had a food fert this past week so there is a ton of Grape leaves to finish along with a good deal of pastrys , dammmm I dont know if we will be able to finish it all, well what ever we cant , the trash man will take Monday morning , I still have eyes that are bigger than my belly, , it is hard to realize I cant eat like I did before , I look at Anthoney Bourdain from the food or travel channel & with all the stuff he eats he is still "thin" , not like twiggy was at the hight of her modling carier , but no pot gut like Andrew Zimmer on Bizarre foods , of well what ever it takes to get through the day I guess I will adapt !
I did get a visitor at the shop this past week, John aka 2 Putts from Michigan stopped with a great bottle of white wine & a fine Cobiha Contraband of course some really good hard cider & a little bottle of MEAD , well I sipped a little scotch , drank a little wine , swigged a bit of cider & savored a bit of Mead , so needless to say I was feeling NO PAIN when I closed the shop friday night ! , well Saturday morning I had to go in & open for a customer who was going some place & he called to make an appointment for an early shopping trip , * 30 plus cigars & a humidor I was just about to leave & go home when a few more customers showed up , Now here I am at 9 am on a Saturday when I cant get anyone to stop that early in the morning, during the week, well it looks like we will be opening at 8 am on saturdays & not at noon like we have been doing , didnt het out of the place till after 2 am & when I got it all cleaned up, & got home it was closser to 3 , then back in at 8 dammmm makes a old fella even more tired than I should be , but when the cash regester rings I feeeeeel Gooooood !
well just as I was about to close on Saturday morning a couple came in with Coffee, Fresh roasted & ground, so I made a pot & the BS ran wide & deep, before you know it, Noon & dean is there to work his shiftdammmm the morning went by pretty fast whenthe BS & coffee are both hot there is nothing like TIME to worry about , hahahaha , this couple wants to buy or rent the building on the corner & put in a commerical coffee roasting business , all I can say is WELCOME to the Burgh !!, we dont need no stinking $tarbucks when you can get a local to make a better cup of coffee , not the $starBux is bad , JUST way to much $$$$ , I stopped at the local $tarbux & got an espresso for myself & a frozen capachino for the boss & it was almost 7 buxs !!! the local coffee shop in Rochester my regular purchase if the same order & I get change from a 5 & leave a buck tip, & 70% of what I spend there stays right here in da Burgh, what I spend at $tarbux only 20% stays local , so I like to patronize the local shops before I gp to a national franchise or chain store , keep it local & let the other small guys make a Buck ! or 2 , wallfart might have lower prices but when I need some thing that some one who is local has a shop that sells it even if its a few bucks more , thats where I spend my hard earned cash , look at it this way , sure my cigar prices are a little higher than mail order but I provide a lounge with comfortable leather chairs & a place to smoke in side out of the heat & cold I provide a big screen TV for all the games & I give the coffee away when you want it just get off you lazy @$$ & get it your self, & if I am in a great mood I might even get it for you, but you need to bring your own cream & sugar, I dont use them so I dont buy them, hey I provide the single malt scotch whisky also , I guess the lest you can do is seal a few packets of sugar & a creamer from McDonalds if your to cheep to buy your own hahahaha ! , personally the only thing I want in my morning coffee is just more coffee & maybe a weee dram of single malt hahahaha
I missed my thursday evening smoke witht he guys , my grandson had a soccoor game & I went there to watch him sit on the bench hahahah, he did get some playing time & he did have the biggest fan section there, both sets of grandparents his mother ,father & a few aunts uncles & cousins were all there a rooting section of 13 in total, on the side lines & one behind the goal (me ) the wind was blowing right down the field & I didnt want to piss off some mother with my cigar so I sat down wind of the field & all that great aroma when for naught ! no one was able to enjy the aroma , buy the end of the first half of the game I did have some company , a pipe smoker & 2 more cigar smokers, , thank God I had a few extra's hahahaha , I have no idea who won or what the score was , but we had a nice hour watching & talking to all the other fans , parents & grandparents , that about all that is happening here in the burgh this week, as far as I can remember, , maybe I should start taking note as it is easy to read than remember hahahaha
yea remember, the eye is getting a little better but not near what it was a few months ago ! OK thats all I have time for right now, I am getting hungry, the coffee is ready & the boss wants BREAKFAST ! N O W !
hahahah Enjoy, Vince

[Vince]

Good morning , it is Sunday the last day of Sept. for 2007, dammmmmmm time sure has a way of FLYING by, , it has been a slow week news wise here in the burgh, just winding down for the summer & kicking back taking advantage of the FABLUOUS weather, , mid to upper 70's during the day & mid to low 50's at night, no need for the A/C or the Furnace, sure its a weee bit chilly in the morning but that is what a robe is for, so here I sit on the computer in my robe instead of just the jocky shorts , hahahah, I know to much info & you will need to burn the thought of it out of your brian hahahaha !
I have 2 small T bones for today, right now they are sitting in a bit of garlic oil with a few hot pepper flakes & a bit of sea salt, , they will hit the grill some time late this afternoon with a little egg plant & some roasted onions & garlic , yea I know , just dont be down wind of me tonight hahahaha !
we did stop at the local orchard yesterday, it was the first day of the fall harvest festival, live band pig roast & lots of people , lots of people so I got a few bags of apples , a new one called Honey gold, dammmm fine CRISP juicy apple , just a bit on the tart side but sweet at the same time , great CRUNCH, I ate 3 of them yesterday, I also picked up a few Gala apples I enjoy almost any apple , depening on what you want to do with them from eating them from your hand to pies & muffins there is an apple for every recipe out there , the blending of a few different apples in a pie is what makes them GREAT, , I dont have a favorite apple, just like I dont have a favorite cigar , there are a lot I like at different times depending on what your going to do with the apple or the cigar , determins what apple or cigar you will select from the humidor or the counter, I like some of my apples right from the fridge, others I like at room temp, like a bottle of fine wine or an ear of corn they are all different & still the same , a lot like people , all different but still the same, dammmm I didnt want to get to deep , , dont want to have to think this early in the morning hahahaha !
A buddy picked up a new convertable this past thursday, a mid life crisses car , & God knows he is having a second childhood now that he is in his early 50's hahaha I do remember that time of my life I surived it & even passed the test when my wife had her melt down a few years ago dammm I still feel the heat & ice from that time in her life glad its over & she is back to being her natural self, ( the devils sister ) hahahaha
I was able to watch the Saturday morning soccor game in relalitive peace , the FOG had cleared by half time & now my cigar was visable , but no one complained about it this week, like I would have done anything about it anyhow , but no one complained this week, nanny state do gooders!
well it looks like we will be neededing a new congressman for the area, mr altmyer voted for the SCHIP program & that will cause me to vote against him & support any one who runs against him, an other nanny state do gooder , I was informed by one of my history teaches way back when I was in school that as an AMerican I had rights to pursue the happness I enjoy as a free man & now the government wants to tax me out of any enjoyment at all, dammm I hate to get political but they just TICK ME OFF , G.W. said he will veto it & I hope & pray that the congress hasnt got the balls or the votes to override it ., this hunk of junk legeslation will cripple the cigar industry from here to timbuckto . but enough of the political BS , lets get back to the cigars !
I was given some fine connectcut shade grown wrappers & some lehero ( not sure about the spellin) & some seco , well I have the cutting board & a great chineese cleaver that is sharp enough to shave with, like I need to hahahaha, well I am headed to the store to get some fruit pectin ( Glue) & I will be rolling cheroots today , I have no idea what they will taste like but I am some what dextrous with my hands , after years in the kitchen makeing food I think I have a good touch & will be able to roll a few sticks to smoke , I have no control over the taste, I just have the tobacco I have, nothing to blend it with ,so the only thing I will have control of will be the construction & draw , & if they dont draw, I just take it apart & start agin hahahaha
it is about time for me to put on the second pot of coffee for the morning , the kona was great with the brakfast of bacon & eggs but this pot of Vermont blend from Green mountain is wonderfully full & will stand up to a cigar much better than the light roasted Kona that we had with the eggs & bacon this morning
I have slipped up a bit & have been starting off the day with a Don Carlos #4 instead of the #3, it is a smaller smoke & with the ride to wok now being a lot shorter that when I worked in the Burgh proper , I dont have the traffic to deal with or the distance, , so I thought a cahnge was in order, ....... nothing wrong with the #4 but Monday morning it is Back to the #3 , just to DAMMMM GOOD to pass up , I tryed the Royal Butera vintage natural corona for a few days also , fine smoke but still no DC # 3, I guess I am a creature of habbit or maybe I just know a good thing when I find it!, hey its all in the taste buds, you might not like it , but I do , that dosent mean anything its all Personal taste & beside if you dont agree with my morning cigar your just plane WRONG hahahahaha ! , I think it is about time to contimplate getting dressed & getting out for a nice Sunday morning walk with a big mug of coffee & a BIG Cigar maybe a Partagas #10 this morning for the walk, , but I do have that Monte "A " that has been in the Humi a few years Hummmmm , is today the day for it ? I dont know , it is a little early even for me to have a single malt & that cigar is crying out for a Laugavulin , well even for me that is a tall order this early in the day, I might need to hold off till this afternoon or evening for that combo !
well thats about it from the Burgh this week, Enjoy, Vince

[doblemaduro]

Nice job Vince! Looking forward to the next Blowin' Smoke.

[doblemaduro]

By the way Vince, where does one acquire a roach clip?

[JohnRider]

Nice rant, Vince. I am in the same boat as you with needing a few new congressmen in my state. Grassley is our Republican senator, and as you probably read, he is the ninny who is pushing this piece of crap legislation along with Pelosi and the Dems.

I'm fairly confident that the President is going to go forward with the veto, and I am hopeful the Dems fail to persuade enough Republicans for an override. Unfortunately, even if we win this one, it will only give us some more time to stock up our humidors, because if the Dems win the Presidency next year, this bill will come back and pass - slam dunk.

Enjoyed the update. Enjoy the lull here between air conditioning and heating season!

[Vince]

Good morning , it is Sunday 7 OCT. 07, well it is a really big weekend here in da Burgh the unseasonal High temp today is going to be in the low 90's !! dammmm thants hot for Aug. let alone Oct. , I should be getting ready for the fall change over for the Qtr.Deck, but I am still running "Summer mode " ( all windows closed & A/C on Full blast ) , by now I should be sitting in there with the windows up & the doors open , get some of the 'stale " air out & fresh air in , even some of the photos have 'watery eyes " hahahaha , hummmm , maybe its time to clean the filter in the a/c, but I dont think so afterall I cleaned it 2 or was it 3 years ago hahahaha ,
with all the heat we have be subject to this past week I havent been cooking all that much , , I do try to have a some what harty breakfast, if you can call one egg & one slice of bacon harty hahahah , , but friday morning I had an appointment at 8 am for the car & I did walk to the shopping center for breakfast that morning & I had a scrambled egg with home frys , no bacon & I ate a slice & a half of rye toast , I was so full when I left the place I had to sit on the bench & smoke a cigar before walking back to the service station to check onnmy car, I had a sway bar in the front end break ( not a bad record for a car with 155+K on it ) well I ended up needing 2 front tires , the rotors needed to be turned but I was able to get new rotors for the same price as turning the old ones so go for it I said, repack the front bearings & new pads , check the alignment & change the oil all for a nice tiddy sum of $440.00 , dammmmm thats a lot of cigars ! , I dont know if thats a lot of money for the amount of work they did , but I have known the shop owner for many years & have cooked for him his girldfriend /wife . his divorce party & a few dinner /breakfasts combo's for the girl dejour & he never complained about my charge of $350 . for an elegant candle lite dinner with a equally gourmet feast of breakfast the next morning , so I guess we both got the going rate for our services , I just wonder how much a few of the girls got hahahahaha
we have been gearing up for the loco electons , I think that should be LOCAL but they both fit ! hahaha , I put up a sign in my yard for a local ADA who is running for judge , maybe that will help me in the future if he wins , never know when I might end up in front of him for some stupid reason , like shouting down a a leftist protester bitching about me sitting in front of the shop with a cigar in my mouth puffing away watching the traffic go by or jacking up a kid against the wall for trying to set fire to MY AMERICAN FLAG proudly flying in front of the shop along with a POW-MIA flag , I didnt think I could move that fast , but when that little SOB pulled out his lighter & grabbed MY flag I went ape shit, when I grabbed the little SOB he went white with fear, well then i realised he was just a Punk kid & if I hurt him I was going to be in trouble so I just put him back down on his feet & didnt toss him into the traffic like I wanted to do , & let me tell you it didnt do my back one bit of good , I will be paying for that slight miscaculation of judgement for a long time , dammmm am i sore , good thing I had my back brace on when it happened, had I been with out it I might not have got the punks feet off the ground & scared him shitless !
my wife blended up a few differnt leftovers of coffee & made a Monkey mix the predominate flavor is a rain forest nut from Green mountain coffees , there is some Sumatra , kenya AA , & columbian supremo all mixed together but you can realllllly taste the rain forest nut in the blend , I seam to enjoy it better with the added flavor of the AA & supremo , just a little hint of the nut instead of the full blown frontal attack of it , kind of nice & mellow, but right now I an enjoying my Sunday morning Kona , soon to be fallowed with my buddy Don Carlos III , I have been hanging out with his little brother Don Carlos IV. BUT I go way back being friend with DC3 it is hard to go a different way.
it is way to hot to cook anything in the oven today so I think I just might do some dogs or brats on the grill & call it a day , I dont even want to fire up the grill it is so dammmmm hot out I might just MICROWAVE the dogs , dammmm is that any way for a GOURMET CHEF to cook hahahahaha
the wife has a Summer cold & has been fighting it for a week, the ragweed & polin count are all sky high we need a killing frost Soon to stop all this BS, but on the good side , the gardens are still producing peppers & tomatos , I have an eggplant that will be introduced to some of them today along with a little extra virgin olive oil & some onions,garlic & a weeee bit of FIRE , to hell with the microwave dogs , maybe a little pasta or some rice & that will be all right with me for today, I guess I am getting lazy in my old age , I didnt think I could ever get any lazyier that i all ready was but I have suprised my self at how slow I can go ! , just like a spinning gyroscope , just going fast enough not to fall over !!! hahaha
I did enjoy yesterday mornings scoccor game watching the grandson jumpmhing up & down on the side line & getting a few kicks in the game it self, this is his last year with this groupe of kids he will turn 10 in Jan & this is an under 10 bunch, the under 12 bunch is a traveling team & there is no way he will be going out for it , they dont have any home games at all & they play at 8 am , at a nutural field , whos idea this was is in need of a proctlogist to find there brain !!! or if it is who my daugher told me it was I guess she will need a Gynacoligest to find her brain , or maybe both ! , they play at 8 am on a Saturday & the closest game is a 35 minute drive up the interstate, I do love my grandson , but dammmmm ther is a limit to it , he isnt all that agressive a player & spends most of his time on the side lines jumping up & down cheering for the team, he likes to be there So he is he just isnt evergoing to be a starter , he will make a great chearleader when he gets to college , shades of GW , I can see him now porkpie had raccoon coat & a megaphone , harvard, yale ,Prinston, dartmouth Brown , penn or Comunity college it makes no difference the job is still the same , & right now he wants to be a fireman when he grows up , well me to . I just havent grown up yet myself. hahahaha
I guess that about all I have for now time for more coffee & a cigar ! have a wonderful Sunday & enjoy, Vince
