High School Daze

Do you remember the High School Days, when our characters were in the development stage?

I do.

Our song was “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and the time was the seventies. The Boomers are the generation that dealt hands-on with desegregation and some other major issues. That is also where my love of the Leaf took hold.  I will never forget it.  I believe I will have a JFR Lunatic while working on this tome, perhaps a couple of ten or twelve.

That’s a long way from the Swisher Sweets.

Remember the days when we all were ready to get out of school, graduate and become adults?  Yeah, well, that's in the past and now, I wish I could go back to then and tell my younger self to apply more and let the partying systems go.  There will be time for that later. 

How about a cup of coffee or better yet, and espresso? I have a machine and a very well-appointed kitchen. When I am off the concert stage, that is where I spend my time.    

It’s quite relaxing gets Jody out of the house for an hour or two and I have dinner ready when he gets back.

In order to make that happen, the music comes on and it usually jazz, from the heavy to the light.

Would you like some almonds and dark chocolate with that Espresso and Asylum? I also have some imported meats from Portugal and Italy if you would like.  Oh, that smell? That’s the Beef Wellington I am preparing for dinner tonight coupled with a Portuguese wine that I really like. Quinta da Lapa 2015 Reserva Red with a delightful blend of four grapes and quite full-bodied.

What do you do to relax into Nirvana? I am a child of the Fifties.

Have a cigar on me, I like your company!

The Lunatic is a full-bodied 80 X 8 banger and it will sit well with the Beef Wellington this evening.  It also pairs well with a Manhattan, Whiskey Sour and of course, the inevitable Dirty Goose Martini.

Help yourself to the Chauterice Board!
