    Well, its funny how over two decades of antagonism brings people together at the lowest or highest emotional level.

    You can tell a person's character by how he/she reacts when not much is left to hide behind.........I am talking about those moments when all of us have shAmelessly been shown how wrong we have been in defense of a cause or the hyper-promotions of who's best.

    When the smoke clears....if that person that is on the losing or vanquished side reacts with dignity and follows his oaths...then that character strength makes its a even more valuable distinction of class, elegance and well-earned respect.

    Tonite..........our family got an anonymous package....with a note that said

    "TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS"

    Nothing else was in the package.....except the most delicious Mighigan cherries we have ever tasted!!!

    Thanks Michael Malloy....a/k/a 'GIPPER"....you have risen to the top of my totem pole..........please receive my most sincere appreciation for your gift.


    THE MIAMI HEAT, 2006 NBA WORLD CHAMPS


    The Gonz, Monster G, Lil G and Mrs G all love them cherries

    Guys from Michigan apparently pay up, I enjoyed tasty Michigan Jellies from Bobda after the Rose Bowl in 2005!

    Doc Holiday and Casey Stengel were dentists too. I think he fits right in...

    Thanks for the kind words Gonz. I hope that they are enjoyable. The Heat were the cherries and the Pistons were the pits.
