Radio

Today I finally had plenty of people over from work and was able to play this neat old radio that fortunately picks up a Canadian station (600AM) that plays songs like Moon River. A friend from back east gave it to me (well us at the time) as a Christmas gift. I still keep in touch with Wilbur as he occasionally sends me abusive e-mails. He a five-year (I believe) Mardi Grad veteran.

Speaking of Carnival, here is the parade schedule for New Orleans, my beloved and befallen city that care forgot:

Mardi Gras is February fifth - a cold one, I would gamble.

For the first time in I-don't-know-when, I forewent the chocolate ice cream in favor of something else: Oregon Strawberry. I wonder where the berries are really grown?
