It...Glad you got a good laugh from this tale, Beth. It was meant in a humorous vein, and hope all will take it as just that, a little chuckle in our day.<br />To lil Gluckstern: You can use a teaspoon of decaf espresso powder instead of the shot of espresso, and still get the same flavor. Check with a good coffee purveyor in your area. If not, surely decaf espresso is available. You make it ahead so it is cool before you add to the shaker. I will be making one for Jeff tonight, though why he'd need an additional energy boost is beyond me!Jodyhttp://www.thepianobar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-29892972029815909952011-05-14T19:08:05.492-04:002011-05-14T19:08:05.492-04:00It's now two in the morning, Sunday, on Mykono...It's now two in the morning, Sunday, on Mykonos. I've been up since six in the morning, Friday, New York time, for a total of thirty-seven hours. <br /><br />Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining for in the six hours since I landed on the island I've made the customary first night "drinks for free" rounds of the island's hotspots--after escaping from a baptism party for twins of a dear friend that I'm sure will last until they're bar mitzvah age, and been offered a role narrating a documentary on Mykonos! Oh, those late night bar scenes and tendered promises:).<br /><br />But most of all I'm thankful that "A Twisted Tale" passed the Bethalyzer Test. I was a bit curious as to how this one would be received--even wondered if Michael's misfortune canceling his post was somehow intended for mine by the ethernet gods. <br /><br />And Lil, in your honor I'll test the cocktail. Tomorrow. <br /><br />zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzJeffrey Sigerhttp://www.jeffreysiger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-72027578688387044262011-05-14T17:45:26.195-04:002011-05-14T17:45:26.195-04:00Lawdy, lawdy, that was good.

I will have to use my imagination since I am no longer allowed anything so wickedly delicious.

There are few statements more devoid of reality than the oft heard comment that when someone is dead they look like they are sleeping. Although it isn't a song, it is hard to beat the Irish man who went to a wake and said of the man in the casket, "Doesn't he look grand. He'll be up dancing in no time."<br /><br />Jody, the post is brilliant.<br /><br />Michael, I wondered what happened. I read Thursday's post quickly; when I went back to read it again, it was gone. I look forward to Thursday.<br /><br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-47651623960280587532011-05-14T05:45:56.353-04:002011-05-14T05:45:56.353-04:00Hi All

Perhaps it was in retaliation for the failure of any West Coast city making the Tripadvisor cut. They did manage to restore an early draft. Sigh! <br /><br />I'll get it back up to scratch and post it again next Thursday.<br /><br />The moral of the story is to keep your own backup of these posts for a while...<br /><br />Michael.Michael Sears (of Michael Stanley)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09886295534214542834noreply@blogger.com
