THE END OF JANUARY HAS ARRIVED

Well Guys and Dolls, January will come to an end at midnight today.  I would first like to say Hi Dad, up there, he died this date in 2001, rest in peace Pop from all of us.  On a brighter side let us check out some holidays.

EAT BRUSSELS SPROUTS DAY - I call them little cabbages, and even hated to look at them as a wee pup.  Then Joey Z tried them and they were good.  Now mind you not every day, not every week maybe twice a year.  The farts come later in the day.

HELL FREEZES OVER DAY - It probably will with all the Global Warming, but I believe the old Devil will keep it hot for the trash of the world.  So my advice is to be good and be welcomed by St. Peter at those pearly gates.

JACKIE ROBINSON'S BIRTHDAY - The first black man to enter the Major Leagues.  Hated by many and loved by few until he proved to the world he was a baseball player with honesty, character and the enthusiasm to make the game for every race and color.  If you have a chance to see the Jackie Robinson Story on TV or rent it, please do.  TMC is probably the best chance to see it on.  Once is awhile, ESPN may show it.

BRANDY ALEXANDER DAY - Brandy Alexander is a sweet, brandy-based cocktail consisting of cognac and creme de cacao that became popular during the early 20th century.   It is a variation of an earlier, gin-based cocktail called simply an Alexander.  No other food to mention today.

Well Speakies I have to call it the end for today as Old Joey Z has a doctor appointment out of town.  Have a great day and evening and my weekend wishes will be posted tomorrow.
