A few of my favorite things….

….one of the satisfactions of living this long is to bury those who warned me that if I kept up my evils ways I was doomed to an early demise.  The list is long but red wine is at the top.  Beef, of course.  And bacon; definitely bacon!

But worst of all, we were told again and again, is coffee.  Nevertheless, here I sit, cup between my two hands as I write this.  Fourth cup of the day and probably one more to go.  (I find it aids sleep.  When we first married, Wooz couldn’t believe I would sometimes carry a cup up to bed at night.)

Wooz also now drinks several cups a day after staying away from it most of her life.  She thought it was bad for her heart.  Now studies show it’s good for your heart.   If you’re male and still abstaining, you might want to read this….and also the four links at the bottom for more on this Wonder Drug.

Incidentally, I read the other day that the woman who sang that old Chock Full ‘O Nuts jingle died….at 92!  I know, anecdotal evidence.  But she could drink all the coffee she wanted; she married the guy who owned the company.

      Now there can only be one other person who knows how to spell Schoumacher correctly.

      This would be my long-lost cousin who went into the woods at an early age and was never heard of again.

      What are the odds that two kids from the streets of Chicago would turn out to be a cattle baron and Smokey the Bear?
