Oh Man, I'm Depressed Now
I spent six hours today cooking tagliatelle with bolognese sauce, and I took a zillion pictures that were going to be part of my Saturday Night Drunken Post...but then I read this and I realized that the cooking maladventures of one small person don't mean a hill of beans in this world
HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- Legendary crooner Don Ho, who entertained tourists for decades wearing raspberry-tinted sunglasses and singing the catchy signature tune "Tiny Bubbles," has died. He was 76.
RIP, my good man.
and may the tiny bubbles up on high always make you happy.

The end of an era.

Sad indeed. I listened to him some growing up. Go with God, Don.

Bingley, I went to The Clown yesterday to look for that Terraza malbec you were talking about a few weeks ago. I found a 2006 and hoo-eee, was that good. I confess that I developed a rosy glow after just one glass.

I liked Don Ho. Oh, well. But now there's an opening for another Hawaiian entertainer. There is only one allowed at a time.

It is quite tasty, and very reasonably priced.
You know, I wonder if when Don first woke up in the morning, before he got to use his comb, if he was a nappy headed Ho?

He seems to be contemplating that glass with dread apprehension. What exactly did you pour him?

Of course he was, Bingley. At least until it donned on him.

Our local VRWC radio dude knew Don Ho personally and has talked about him on the radio over the years. This morning, he said that at the last lunch he had with him, Ho "wrote his own epitaph" as he put it:
Lee was talking about Don's heart problems and said "So when are you going to cut back on the workload?", and Ho replied "I don't work. I have a good time and they pay me for it."
