I guess Jay did not want to give anyone else a chance to write - or he just had a series of rapid fire thoughts -- before the trivia comes out on who did the 'brownie roll' in Sister B's class - I am fairly certain that Consigliere Nardone was not involved - but Alan Brezinski (spelling?) was the maker

Shoulder seems fine - rotator cuff was in good shape and major work involved cutting off part of my collar bone (to open up more space). I think I have about 85% range of motion back already (slicing was on 19 Aug and I still have about 10 stitches in) - my wife almost ended my life on Sunday - I was swinging a golf club and she gave me the death stare. When she took me in sickness and in health - don't think she fully realized what she was getting herself into - the shoulder operation was my 6th operation in the past 20 years - so she is getting sick of the routine

Indulge me for a quick funny story from the weekend. My brother (he is over 16 years younger and not many of you ever knew him) is an undertaker and lives about 20 miles away from us in the Pittsburgh area. On Sat he had a funeral with burial in a cemetery about 2 miles from our house. After the service, he drove over for a visit - in the hearse! He parked it in our driveway and stayed for a few hours -- we are still getting calls from the neighbors to make sure that no one died. My response to them is that we did not have dinner plans on Sat night and I was hoping the hearse would bring a few deli trays and tray of rigatoni from concerned neighbors!
