Made it up here to Massachusetts so I could experience what real winter feels like. It’ll be goin’ down to 8 degrees tonight, something I guess they’d call a “three dog night” up in these parts…

Spent today with my friend Pasquale (“Little PC”) in Boston’s famous North End for some veal and a nice dago red at Pagliuca’s. Kudos afterwards to the lovely “Barracuda” at the Neptune Oyster Bar, where we were served a lovely apperitivo of a Prosecco, a Harpoon IPA, and three littlenecks on the half shell. Yumm! ….Gotta love an eating establishment where you have to have a nickname to be a part of the organization. Just like in the Nation!

Tomorrow, it’s back to the dust and desert of the Great American Southwest. Blog ya then!
