My maternal grandmother's primary contribution to my life was an endless
supply of chocolate pudding and oatmeal/raisin cookies - the ultimate
display of love. Her husband was a feather costume specialist who made
his
money creating costumes for the Rockettes. He wasn't home much. My main
memory of him was Rheingold beer. :-)

My memory of my Maternal Grandfather (the full blooded Indian) was
Christmas when he would give all the grandkids "Grasshoppers" made
with Creme de Menthe.

The other, of course, was the shot of Jameson's Irish and Pabst Blue
Ribbon at the local bar which was really the local ward healers
"office" - which, as you might expect, he was. :)

Tom, we really need to get hammered. :-)

If this were 30 years ago, I probably would have.

I gave it all up.

So many stories - so little time... :)

Later,

Tom
