so........your other sister and her husband own the Ristorante????

Thanks for the good advice folks. However, within 5 minutes of leaving the hotel I got hopelessly lost in this land of parkways and numbered routes. I came across the Hot Grill in Clifton which served the purpose of loading me up with chili and onion dogs. Would have preferred a nice steak but any port in a storm, as they say.

I think the whole lot of you should join Funk and I at the next poker tourney at Cripp's homecoming get together being put together by Justice. It's always a good time, even if you get knocked out early or don't really know the game that well. It's a great place to learn with a big group of cool peeps. And Stu and I might repel each other like opposite ends of a magnet. Crazy yankee freak meets up with wacked hockey nutcase. I say we sell this UFC style!
