ChanteyLass, last night (Tuesday night) it was a margarita -- I keep a bottle mixed up in the fridge and I'd just bought a fresh lime on...Saturday? (I lose track...) It was in the 80s F here in New Hampshire with glorious sunshine. NOT typical March New Hampshuh weather.

Anyway the margarita was good throat lubrication for the phone calls I needed to make -- finally reached Tom's 90-year-old cousin. He has very few relatives.

By the way, margaritas are easy as 1-2-3 -- 1 part triple sec (the stickiest of the ingredients), 2 parts lime juice (I buy Jamaica Gold preserved lime juice by the case from a food service former client of mine), and 3 parts ta-kill-ya, I mean, tequila (which sort of cleans out the measuring device). Fruit juice, in other words. Practically health food.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Linn (gotta go call Tom back; he should be done with his breathing treatment)
