My late husband was tight with Berry Gordy and pllayed trumpet on the Supreme hits.

I worked for him at Jobete in '96! We were on the project to re-create the Motown/Tamla Top 1000 songs in MIDI. They worked us like 🐶  🐶and paid us 💩. I didn't get invited to his big parties, but I heard he brought in a circus(?!?!?!?). I guess that's where all the money went.

Yeah, I've never been to one that had bad food. Brewery menus are some of the best around here. 

You need to come visit me, Grand Rapids is now "beer city" and we have tons of craft brewery restaurants. We really do need a SnarkCon (?) think that's what @Angry Moldovan called it.

I will think of you, Doublemint, and your husband next time I play my Motown Hits CD in my car (which I often do because I love Motown) My 14-year-old Camry has a 6-CD player!

Oh no! What triggered the sale?

I took over the house in '17, with some other fam members. Economy ravaged our businesses last year. I don't want to sell/move, but I'm out-voted. I put about $20k and 3 years of back-breaking labor (sometimes on crutches) into renovating the house and building that recording studio/theater. I still am somewhat of denial, but it goes on the market...this week, actually

Root beer is beer???

When I was in college I spent a weekend visiting some high school friends who attended BYU. They lived in the dorms, and there was a soft drink vending machine in the basement. Caffeine is forbidden, the selections were “Lemon-Lime”, “Orange”, and “Root DRINK”. I kid you not.

glad we had dinner before the show.  So much food temptations--scallops, steak, root beer float, fried chicken and waffles, french toast.   I think we have visited every brewery in the Charlottesville area. 

Speaking of food, why was Grandpop Brandon already eating salad when Julia and Brandon arrived?  Don't people wait until everyone has arrived to order and  eat.  I could see if the couple were running late and the parents and Grandpop ordered an appetizer, but this just seemed odd.

Farewell until next time.  If there is a next time.
