Oh well. That's how it works, mi amici. Souls come & go. Some just leave more of an impression. 

I've been PERMANENTLY scarred...in a good way...by our pal, Dean. 

Never to be the same...& never regrettin' a second.

We ALL have a romance with Dino...in a way. He's my pal, my mentor & my inspiration. That's a kinda romance. Maybe a Bro-mance! Hahaha!!! Whateva' youse wanna call it...he's my man! 

Let's leave the month & year off knowin' that this comin' year will be BETTER! 

Here's to you, Dean Martin! R.I.P pallie. & Thank you.
