* Legendary Singer- Connnie Francis has passed at age 87.

I met Connie something like 50 years ago- and had the pleasure of serving with her on the boards of two Rock N Roll oriented charities. GREAT SINGER and one of the nicest – kindest people I have ever met!

Just a quick side story, for years Connie would sit in the audience at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton- checking out the “music talent” without any fanfare at all!

Don’t ask me why I picked this brand/flavor, because I just don’t know…

Anyway, you guys know or should know by now that this food reviewing “situation” is purely a subjective call- with that in mind, I am telling you that this Neapolitan Ice Cream is absolute dynamite and that you gotta try it!

For you guys who maybe wondering, the chocolate absolutely killed with the strawberry and vanilla very close behind with a tie for second place!

* Humor!

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble..

In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, ‘When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I’ll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.’

The brunette arrives at the man’s ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it.

The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.

After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news..

She walks into the telegraph office, and says, ‘I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I’ve bought a bull for our ranch.

I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.’

The telegraph operator explains that he’ll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word.

Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word.

After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, ‘I want you to send her the word ‘comfortable.’

The operator shakes his head. ‘How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word ‘comfortable?’

The brunette explains, ‘My sister’s blonde. The word is big.

She’ll read it very slowly… ‘com-for-da-bul.’
