American Thanksgiving!
Ayn P Bake my pretty pumpkin cheesecakes...bake!
From 1920 through 1933, Prohibition, the sale, manufacturing, and/or transportation of alcohol was unlawful in the United States. At the time, American society was still very agrarian and a lot of times the authorities had to track the alleged criminals by foot. To avoid capture, some moonshiners changed their shoes. Specifically, they put on cow shoes!
Thanks for the invite but generally Sunday eve is set aside for dinner with the family (Jake, Joe & Maud, and the two grandchildren Noah and Owen,)
Hi Big Al!
Too bad as it would have been great to catch-up. However, I understand completely. Cheers, Patrizzio!
P,
See you at the HBT at 9AM. W
Hi Giorgio, et al!
See you there! Cheers, Patrizzio!
See you there! Cheers, Patrizzio!
Sorry, I've just rolled out of bed, so can't make it by 9. Enjoy the ride. Ray
Thanks for having me! It's always good fun, good fun, good people. Have a happy ride!!
Patrick, I fear my meeting will run longer than I thought, and with the long day it will become, I'm going to have to beg off for tonight's event at your place. I hope you can make up a suitable number of bridge tables without us. We'd be delighted if there's another occasion some time. Guy
Hi Guy!
I didn't read my email until a few minutes ago. Not to worry. Cora Lee had a meeting as well and she didn't arrive home until just before 8:00pm. Rest of us had decided by this time that we would eat at 8:00pm if you had not made an appearance by then. We were fortified by some delicious koubassa, (Elaine returned from Winnipeg on Wednesday!), which Elaine served for an appetizer. Since we had not seen either Ted or Elaine for sometime, we, (Clara and Dusty and I), had a chance to catch up. While it would have been most enjoyable to have had you and Nancy to play, your absence didn't really spoil the evening. Trust meeting went well. Look forward to seeing you both on December 2nd. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Adolphus Busch, the brewer who was one of the grand personalities of
19th century America, was the youngest of twenty-one children of a prosperous Rhineland merchant.
Busch immigrated to the United States in 1857, went
into the brewery supply business, and in 1861, at twenty-two, married
Lilly Anheuser, the daughter of one of his customers. (The familial bond
did not lack for further adhesive, as Adolphus's brother Ulrich
married Lilly's sister Anna.) Adolphus soon took
over the management of his father-in-law's company and in time appended
his surname to it.

Busch was a genuine visionary. Where others saw brewing as a fairly straight- forward enterprise, he saw it as the core of a vertically integrated series of businesses. He built glass factories and ice plants. He acquired railway companies to ferry coal from mines he owned in Illinois to the vast Anheuser-Busch factory complex sprawled across seventy acres of St. Louis riverfront. (A local joke: St. Louis was 'a large city on the [banks of the] Mississippi, located near the Anheuser-Busch plant.') Busch got into the business of manufacturing refrigerated rail cars and truck bodies that could be used not just by breweries but also by such substantial customers as the Armour meatpacking company. He paid one million dollars for exclusive U.S. rights to a novel engine technology developed by his countryman Rudolf Diesel, and for $30,000 purchased the painting of Custer's Last Stand that, with the Anheuser-Busch logotype prominently appended, would soon grace the walls of thousands upon thousands of saloons.
Adolphus had a potent personal aura. He spoke five languages, built
palaces for himself and his wife in St. Louis, Pasadena, Cooperstown,
and Wiesbaden, and traveled in a style appropriate for the monarch he
was. Whenever Adolphus and Lilly returned from a
trip to their home at Number One Busch Place (situated right on
company property in St. Louis), brewery employees fired a cannon.
Adolphus Busch died, at the age of seventy-four, from cirrhosis of the liver.

Jennifer Kramer is all cozy after the feast!
- What poison did she use on Los Horridos?
- Hello! If you've tried to reach me by phone, I apologize.
Due to a bureaucratic meltdown of tedious proportions with the main
phone company, I have switched suppliers.
This entailed the purchase of new phone sets and setting up new
voice-mail, which is now in place. So - dial away!!! Deborah
The semester is ending. The libraries are packed. Our nerves are on edge. But we have not forgotten the irresponsible, anti-democratic, anti-intellectual decisions made by the College and the Graduate School. We have not forgotten the way the language of diversity and inclusion has been marshaled to racist and sexist ends, and the administration's refusal to be accountable to students, staff, or faculty members.
It's time to take a stand. We will gather on the quad and remind the administration that the Em
ory community demands better. There may be food, music, righteousness and revelry.
Are you studying? Lock up your carrell or lab and walk out. Are you teaching or TA-ing? Bring your classroom to the quad. Are you in class? Exercise your freedom and take a stand for the future of all classes. Many of your faculty support us.
We will post more details as the date draws closer.

Patrick James Dunn In solidarity with you from UBC, Vancouver, Canada! Onward! Fight!!!
Thanks for the photos, are we a beautiful bunch! Next time I'm taking pictures of you!
Hi JT:
Any time, Baby Cakes! Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hi Patrick,
Lovely to hear from you! How are you? How are Corinne and Chloe? Yes, we are so relieved to hear about Dad, but also wish he would take it easy. *sigh*
I'm so sorry we won't be able to come on 3 December. We are going to Pirates of Penzance in the afternoon and then straight to Matthew's work christmas party in the evening. On any other occasion we would love to join you. What book are you reading for the club? We have Catch-22 assigned for the UBC Girls club that I'm in. Good chance for all of us to tackle it, since we've most of us been meaning to read it for years.
Seasons Greetings, and warm wishes to your family. Hope to see you soon. From Zoe and Matthew xoxo
Sorry, I realise it's Sunday 2 November. Same still goes though. Who schedules a work christmas party on a Sunday evening?! :(
Hi Zoe!
Reading between the lines, (December 3rd to 2nd of November), I assume you are unable to join us in either month! End of term and Papa's nasty fall must be taking their toll! Sorry we won't see you then but enjoy Pirates and Matt's Christmas bash.
We are reading Thinking Fast and Slow, quite an interesting/fascinating analysis/theory of how we make decisions based on manner in which our brains operate. Catch-22 is a wonderful work and I would like to re-read it. Think I might appreciate it even more now. Cheers, Patrizzio!
