Another fine set of mornings/afternoons/evenings. This edition of DM marked the beginning of Uncle Moneybags’ (formerly Brother Delonne) week off. We were generally in good spirits, given the upcoming HudGar2006 1.5, which is this Wednesday. Brother Dicksbain ordered the CAO Oddessey, the Padron 1964 Imperial, and a (gasp) OpusX XXX Perfection. Uncle Moneybags ordered two Padrons(!), an Oddessey, a CAO 65th Anniversary Robusto, a Leon Jimmenez Don Fernando, some CAO Italias, a Pryme Robusto, a La Aurora 1495 Churchill, a La Aurora 100 Anos Robusto, an Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Double Corona (let’s face it, he has a whole week off).  Be sure to stay tunned for the reviews of Hudgar2006 1.5, in color!

Classic Del Taco and Circle K (oh, how I missed thee!)
Spruce place revisted (great drive-by this weekend, looks the same as a year ago, except there’s now a plant there; must have been what made it go up 30,000 in value)
(note: we did NOT discuss work woes!)

Finally, I’d like to mention that this month marks the third anniversary of Uncle Moneybags’ triumphant return to SoCal from the East Coast. It’s been a rough ride, but I’m glad I came back. Brother Dicksbain is a huge part of that. Unfortunately, this month also marks the first anniversary of Brother Dicksbain’s departure from SoCal for Cleveland. It just hasn’t been the same since he left. If I could stand the cold, I might just move. I’m just glad that we have gars, Dominican Mornings and games still, and I want to say “thank you” for the many memories and guidance over the past three years.
