Maybe you'll have some time to clean up that signature of yours. It puts the Encyclopedia Britannica to shame.....

Maybe you'll have some time to clean up that signature of yours. It puts the Encyclopedia Britannica to shame.....

Murder, Inc. (or Murder Incorporated or the Brownsville Boys) was the name given by the press to organized crime groups in the 1920s through the 1940s that resulted in hundreds of murders on behalf of the US mafia and their Jewish counterparts[citation needed] who together formed the early organised crime groups in New York and elsewhere. The name was a journalistic invention. In his biography The Valachi Papers, Mafia turncoat Joseph Valachi insisted Murder Inc did not commit crimes for the Cosa Nostra.

These were the years my beloved grandmother, mother & uncle lived in Brownsville. My beloved mother burst into tears anytime she mentioned her childhood or mother.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

That's a lie- I don't have a cat.

My ex-girlfirend used to. They'd stare at the pet lizard, who ate mice. We drank a lot of wine then, but it was usually cheap stuff. But then I went to live in a tent in Arizona for a while doing bird research. I drank beer then, and Jameson. The lizard died, and we broke up after I got back, but not before a good friend had a liver transplant that I didn't hear about for a while because I was living in a tent.

Anyway, that's when I moved from Louisiana to Ecuador to Arizona, and then back to North Carolina. My roommate a few years later had a cat, too. She and my dog got along okay, but it was really like Israel vs the Arabs. Neither really wanted to test the other, but when there were skirmishes, they were brief and violent. We didn't drink much wine, because we spent most of our time on safety meetings eating blueberries. I forget the cat's name, but it was something incredibly feminine, which was funny because my roomate was a drummer with blue hair. My other roomate played bass.

I thought Murder Inc. was a record label owned by Irv Gotti???

I hate to digress and talk about wine but....

I've been subscribing to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate newsletter for 20 years. Every year, he publishes an issue with "Great Wine Values". I mostly shop from that list.

For a cheap light red, I tend to buy DuBoeuf flower label Beaujolais. For a medium body inexpensive red, I tend to buy Guigal Cotes du Rhone when it's on sale in New Hampshire. For high end red, I get wine shipped in from Melville in Santa Barbara county. I really like their Pinot Noirs.

With white, I mostly buy west coast sauvignon blanc. Hogue Fume Blanc is fine. Berringer, Mondavi, ... whatever. When I'm spending more, I buy the Kiwi Cloudy Bay. They're the winery that invented the whole New Zealand green/tart sauvignon blanc thing. I don't often drink Chardonnay since the mass market stuff doesn't have enough fruit in it and the really good stuff from places like Kistler or Helen Turley's Marcaissain are now priced outrageously.

I also collect an Alsacian winery called Zind-Humbrecht. Most people don't like late harvest wines but I like to pull a cork once in a while for the dessert course at a dinner party.

But were any of them beloved?

Nectar of the gods. Their Pinot Blanc blows away everything else, a wonderful summer wine.

Only the liver transplant friend. Who, come to think of it, does have a cat. Or at least, did then. She's married now. i remember anotehr cat we had when I had two different roomates form teh blue hair and the bassist. THey wer both actors, and our cat was orange, with one black paw. We named him Oscar, since we figured he'd dipped his paw in an inkwell.

One time I came home late and one roommate was passed out on the couch. Normal, except this time his pants were down around his ankle. Confused, I went to get another beer. My other roomate came out to ask what the hell was going on, so we had a beer and put an oven mitt on one hand, a turkey baster in the other, and the toaster on thefloor. The next morning he said "I have got to quit drinking." He stole a pen from me a few years before when we both worked in the same restaaurant but he got fired. I never forgave him for that.

The cat was no where to be found, or may have come in later, I don't recall.

I love it! Thank you for the Cliff's notes version...you've pretty much condensed a lot of the knowledge you've acquired, and given us a nice grocery list to take with us the next time we're purchasing wine. Thank you!

I was once in a bar and ordered a Cosmo. The bartender came back and asked me if I might like something else. The Martini glass was being used. ; - )
