Greetings hungry readers. Thanks for being here.
Yesterday I introduced you to my cousin Pando. His real name is Pandora but everyone calls him Pando. He is as good a drinkin’ buddy as you can find. Yes, he played a part in Dorians return to power but he is humble to his core. Some guys who had been a small cog in a big event won’t let you forget it.
Me for example. I love to remind people that I was in the Great Slide Race of 200 and that I was at the Battle of Caelum. Not Pando. You won’t hear from him how he helped Dorian. You will only read that in the history books.
What you do hear from Pando are the self depricating stories. He loves to tell the tale of the deer he came across while hunting back in the White Mountains. The thing looked deader than ore. It wasn’t stiff so Pando figured the critter had just died. He wrapped it up and tied it to his slide.
Pando got his slide and its burden going down hill pretty good when all of a sudden the creature came to life. That deer was thrashing around for all it was worth. Pando’s a decent hunter and the thing was tied in pretty good. There was no way to loosen the knots while that deer was wiggling like it was so Pando had to cut some fine rope.
The deer, all wrapped neat and tidy in a tarp poured from the slide to the snow. Pando grabbed a loose corner of the tarp and gave a good hard pull, spilling the deer onto the snow and freeing the animal.
As a good thank you for its freedom, that deer kicked Pando square on the jaw while it was trying to get up. Pando still has a scar on his chin to prove the story.
Have a great weekend! I’ll see you next week. We’re going to visit with Mary Waters. I think you will find her very fun. I’m going to meet with her this weekend and this week I’ll share transcipts.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
