What a pleasure to hear your voice. When I saw the "Kraft Singles" in the title then heard the story start on drink selections I knew you were going there and was sooo pleased with the selections.

Thanks for always bringing a smile!

Well, it's a good first effort for sure. Time and practice will make these better. But I do appreciate your confidence in me.

The jello one sounds nearly bearable. The others not so much. I invented a drink when I was in my twenties. Frozen raspberries, a shot of rum and orange juice. I called it a raspberry orgasm. My mother called it a raspberry thrill.

On Robbie Burns Day, the 25th, two of my dear friends and mentors had MAID , medical assistance in death. Their granddaughter arranged to buy a bottle of Dawhinnie and I made shortbread. We were going to sing Farewell to Nova Scotia right after they died but somehow I felt compelled to sing Happy Trails to You, really a much more cheerful song.

Love you my friend.

I wanted all the drinks to be as terrible as David was. And I think "Happy Trails" was a very good choice.

That voice. If I forward you the love letters my wife sent me when we were dating, could you make an audio recording of them so i can listen to them when I go to sleep?

Can I use my own voice or do I have to do hers? My Northern European accent skills are spotty at best.

I'm not picky. But seriously, lovely work with the recording.

Oh, now, THAT is a radio voice!! At times it reminded me (in the best way) of the guy who narrates those animal vids (search for “True Facts About The Octopus” -Ze Frank)

Thanks very much! I've been told I have a face make for radio. I'm just glad I've got the voice to match.

I would be very much amused if anyone actually made these "cocktails".

If you adored the “Mac” sauce ... maybe it wouldn’t be so bad!🤣

Delightful!! Loved your music choice too.

Thank you! It's the music Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore elevator dance to in Thoroughly Modern Millie. "Stumbling" by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra.
