You never failed to make me smile, Liza! I do need to mention that I live in Los Angeles, where it’s 80° today and sunny. So of course, a martini is more appropriate than hot chocolate!

Hot chocolate, it has to be, this old body is intolerant of alcohol and ultra conservatives.

a springlike day in Aspen, just right for a soothing cup of hot chocolate as I work on the upcoming municipal election. local voices as well as nationwide need to be heard!

Spring-like also in SF Bay Area near Stanford… Always always always love seeing the name Liza Donnelly in my inbox. And I have happily forwarded any number of your daily columns to friends, only to find that when I do so a week or so later, they thank me with a smile and tell me they’ve subscribed and already receive your daily missives. As I’ve said before, always a beautiful mix of whimsy and seriousness, and I guess that’s what life is like… An image of two parallel RR rails or - maybe even three - because it’s not like peaks and valleys… It all plays out together. Be well. Thank you for the joy.

No ho ho! No martinis for this old guy. But a rum and Coke - double ? Yes ma'am. And thank you for your service.

I got thoroughly sick on them in 1970 and can’t smell run without retching even now…

Well, they shouldn't have let you drink seriously in elementary school. How about a Mai Tai? My wife Linda Davis makes better ones than almost any bar. But you have to come to Pittsfield to get one.
