Oh My Goodness, It Looks Like We Got Us a Natural Disaster!!!! : Family News Letter Guest Editor Edition Featuring.....Mark and Gina!!! Volume Alpha and Omega (you prob won't let us do it again after this.....)

Intro: Welcome to another Guest Editor Edition of the FN!!  Just keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times until it comes to a complete and total stop and it is unlikely you will get hurt!!  If for some reason you like to do things you are told not to do, check your local yellow pages for the nearest hospital to your current location..In lieu of the hospital at least know the lcation of the closest bar/liquor store for purposes of self medication....Drafternoon anyone???

Notable Accomplishments: Elmont, NY is all abuzz at Belmont Park (who is an honorary member this week) for a horse of course and I'll Have Another too thank you very much  (Don't forget, you take a horse with a big a$$ in field like this, and you got yourself a winner) ....Lana took 6 naps per day this week.....Chula barked at the mail man each day.....Bo the Wonder Dog just looked damn cute...Mom's Dog was overly affectionate to all who got near....and everyone is going to have a"Dog Day Afternoon" waiting for the work day to stop and the weekend to start.....

Weather Report:  The weekend is upon us and the weatherman is calling for a downpour of gamma rays that are expected to continue through the end of the weekend.  It is imperative that you go hippity hop to the local "pop" shop to gather your fav libations as deck/porch/pool sitting is mos def in your future.  An umbrella of sun screen is recommended but certainly not required.  Little umbrellas in the glass are also optional....Temps indicate it will take 8 to 10 cold "pops"  to keep you correctly libated throughout the day.

Urban Dictionary WOD:  Hung Under

Meaning not to drink, stay home and sleep 10 hours rendering a great feeling of energy and vitality the next day...something most of the members of this forum have never experienced....

Barson: Hey Carinne, you gonna come out with us tonight?

Carinne:  I though I might stay in so I'm hung under in the morning..

Barson:  You gotta come with.... There is a special on Patron and we decided to celebrate Drinko De Mayo!!!

Carinne:  Okay, you twisted my lime...I'm in....

Song of the Week: "Baker's Street"......Atlanta Rythm Section....(I know...G and I are just old school like that and we love sax...)

Special Cigar and Wine Section:

Wine of the Week -- Santa Rita Cabernet; Maipo, Chile:  This cab at approximately $10 a bottle is a steal in the 2010 vintage.  The wine is rich on the palatte and provides deep dark fruit notes with a clean long finish...refined and appealing it tastes like a cab you would expect to pay more than double that to acquire....

Cigar of the Week -- Illusione Epernay Toro:  A medium to full bodied flavor bomb that sends out a creamy rich smoke with hints of pepper, cedar, earth, and a hint of caramel essence; it pairs with the wine of the week to perfection...

FNSOTW:  There was deadlock between the editors on which way to go....sooooooo..we will let the SOTW be readers choice between our finalists.  You pick the SOTW that interested you and why...

1.  Demigod Hate and Destruction Death Match -- Gengis Khan, Caligula, and Ming the Merciless....Who is meaner, nastier, and more monsterous and wins????

2.  You develop a vaccine that will cure all of the worst diseases in the world....but it is fatal to 5% of those who take it.....make billions or back to the drawing board....

And now, back to more levity....

FNMOTW is Carinne!!!!!!!  Carinne is usually writing so seldom gets to be MOTW and was extremely excited about our choice.  The last beer she drank was a Belgian Tripel with a name longer than and harder to spell than Duke's Basketball Coach.  Her choice between Hall and Oates is Darrel Hall because she has an affinity for 4 letter last names.  If Carinne were a mood ring her color would be yellow as she was extremely hung over at the time I asked the question.  Carinnes fav Crustaceans are crabbbbbbbbs ( the sea kind, not the STD)

Gina and I want to thank you for the opportunity to host the newsletter.  Thanks and have a great weekend!!  That's all folks!!!!!
