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".

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.
