Because it’s my brother Patrick’s birthdé!

Happy birthday, bro. I just got word they’ve shipped your present, so it’ll be belated. As usual. I’ve come to think of it as prolonging the joviality.

Thanks Ron! My present arrived today in good condition, Lebanon Bologna MMMMMM! Meagan and I are meeting my friends Bill and Kim and we’re off to see Tom Petty tonight. We even have matching cheezy tye dye lot shirts from when Jeanne and I saw him down there 10 years ago. She gave the shirt to Debra at some point, so we’ll be sure to toast Jeanne tonight. Again, Grassy Ass!

Why, yes, I DO know what Lebanon bologna is!  And have even had it.  And I bet you know what Schafer’s bologna is, too.

Allentown! or someplace near there. Wow, I bet there are half a dozen brands I’d forgotten. Seltzer’s, now what wrinkle of my brain did that just pop out of? The other Weaver’s, which doesn’t seem to have a website. I don’t think I ever really developed a brand preference; I just miss the stuff. Lebanon bologna sandwich with mayo and lots of thinly-sliced radishes, yum.

Funny what you get used to. Sometimes we wanted a break from Lebanon bologna and asked for “loney baloney” sandwiches instead. Meaning that finely-ground pinkish stuff that I haven’t bothered with in years, the Oscar Meyer kind of thing only this was kind of pre-Oscar Meyer in our market.

Know what my favorite was, though? Monday leftover roast-pork with lettuce and mayo.
