Old and new
It may have been Sally that asked for pictures of babies. That's not usually how I roll. I am attaching a picture of Eloise at almost 5 months wearing a sweater that Addie had given to Pam because I

Re: Old car memories
I believe Sally owned a little VW sport car, but not sure. I¡¯ll try to get her to clarify that matter. Elaine, I have vague memories of your episode with failed brakes. I have no idea how we all

Re: Old car memories
Steve, I remember Arch had a Karman Gia and one time Pop bought a used Woody that we liked but it didn¡¯t last long. A series of the used cars never lasted long. There was a Dodge whose brakes failed

Old car memories
Last Sunday I volunteered to help out an old friend who's an antique car collector that has put on a show for many years. This year there were over 150 vehicles. I saw one that brought back a vague

Re: Herb Pennock - Fun Fact
Rand, Herb Pennock was Mary Lou¡¯s uncle. Grew up in Kennett Square. One big reason. Aunt Millie was one of the biggest baseball fans. I became a Yankees fan because Dino was. Philadelphia had two

Herb Pennock - Fun Fact
My wife Fig saw this on her calendar and I wanted to share this fun fact. Since he played for the Yankees, is this why some of our family were/are yankee fans? Love Randy

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
Don¡¯t know anything about Joe Andriole¡¯s family. However, I ran into the word cicchetti a lot in Venice. Mostly little seafood items on a small plate when you order Prosecco. I¡¯ll check with my

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
Again from ChatGPT: The word "cichet" is derived from Venetian, which is a Romance language spoken in the region of Veneto, Italy. In Venetian, "cichet" (also spelled "cicheto" or "cicheto") refers

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
Bravo Mike, Hai ragione tu! Joe Andriole always used the word cichet for a shot (of whiskey). I saw this word once in a novel.

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
I think this makes a lot of sense. As I recall, a muzzi in our house was something like a pout with the mouth sticking out. That would fit with the derivation from muzzle or snout and on to an

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
Sounds right on, Mike. Those dialects can really change Dante¡±s Italian. Sicilian, Veneziano, etc. As I recall Angie¡¯s pronunciation, it was more ¡°mutzi¡± face with that ¡°t¡±in there. Might

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
I got this from ChatGPT: In the Abruzzo region of Italy, the term "muzzi" can indeed have a different meaning. In the Abruzzese dialect, "muzzi" refers to the word "muso" in standard Italian, which

Re: Classic Ruggieri Mutz?
I think muzzy is English. The word I remember the previous generation having used is stunad. It comes from stonato, a which means to be out of tune. Off key. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong
