HUNGRY GERALD

Log into Bob Judd’s blog if you like good writing and original insights.  Recently, HG relished Judd’s poetic evocation of the New York Christmas blizzard.  While others cursed and took Bloomberg’s name in vain, Bob relished the whiteness and the sound of music drifting from Greenwich Village doorways.   His lyrical mood was helped along by sambuca topped by a few coffee beans.  This is one of Beautiful Sharon’s favorite after dinner tipples since she claims it blunts the effects of garlic indulgence.  That’s why Italy gave birth to the drink.  As HG noted in a previous post, Judd played football at Williams College (Team nickname: The Ephmen).  Judd claims to be one of the last men to play both ways (fullback on offense and line backer on defense).  HG watched Stanford demolish Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl last night.   Prominent among the violent Stanford scholars was Owen Marcik, the only player in major college football who performs both ways (like the Judd of yesteryear he’s a fullback on offense and a line backer on defense).  So, HG lifts his snifter of sambuca and says Happy New Year to Marcic and The Ephman, guys who can do it all.
