A few random thoughts:

Mr. Babe may be one of the best storytellers I've ever heard - he had us in stitches with a few stories of his (and SB's) travels. Don Cardi, similarly, may be the most animated storyteller I know (he really gets into "it", making the story all that much more fun).

Mrs. Cardi is an immense source of movie info (totally awesome recall about actors/actresses, etc.). Her warmth is comforting and she makes you feel like you've known her for a long, long time.

DMC may be quiet at times but he's the funniest quiet I know. He's also one of the most generous guys I know.

dontomasso's generous and thougtful gift (of the wine) was a really nice thing for him to do. Thank you, dt!!

Mignon is a wonderful soul! She's so genuine!! Look up "down-to-earth" in the dictionary and you'll find her picture there.

Sicilian Babe is a party animal and a pure delight to be with. She never fails to make me laugh and my time with her (and Mr. Babe) is always too short. She's a sharp chick!

Sr. Vitelli is a scream... when not wowing you with his knowledge on a number of subjects he'll have you laughing with something outrageous (like sharing a "wig").

Beth is one funny chick. She'll get you laughing with her in no time at all. Better yet, she's a good sport and a very decent lady. I'm glad I know her.

Don Cardi and Geoff.... what can you say about them? I consider them as brothers... they've taught me a few good lessons and I'm truly blessed that they're in my life.
