Well, it seems silly but throughout the holiday I often wondered how
the members of SOL were doing. Everytime I went out to the garage to
turn on the Xmas lights I would think of the members in sunny
climates who could go for a Christmas drive.
Anyway, it's good to be back on the list. I actually came into work
early to take down the decorations and reactivate the lists I belong
to. I think Mr. 'iggins is right - I'm addicted !
Santa gave me a Waxoyl kit complete with all the little pumps,
squirting do-dads etc., and a big refill drum. So, in the spring
when things warm up I can do that.

One funny SOL related event caused a bit of a blush for me. A while
back fellow SOL Greg Petrolati and I got together for dinner. He
insisted that I try an Italian dessert called - to him - SEX ON A
Plate. It was great, but is really called tirimushi or something
less Japanese sounding. To me it will always be SOAP. ( Sex an a
Plate)
Anyway, I was at a dinner where someone made this same dessert and
proudly placed it in front of me. It was a a rather frumpy dinner. Once
everyone had been served I dug into this with no idea what it was.
ONE BITE and I knew ! Not thinking, just over run with delight I
exclaimed in a loud voice "Oh ... this is sex on a plate !"
Ahem .. well it did not go over very well. Good dessert though.
Wish Greg sould have been there to see it.
I hope all you had a healthy and happy Christmas.
