It happened today, just a short time ago. The postman fighting fatigue, sunstroke, and possible dehydration brought to my door a package. This was not just an ordinary run of the mill everyday kinda package...it was a "Mug Swap" package. It was from the Man himself,famous in Apt C in beautiful Berkeley Ca.." M I N I T O R ". Yes today a package, the package arrived from Minitor... I will say this for the fellow..it was packaged extremely well...nothing made it's way out of the box till it was opened in my home.. The contents spewed forth like water gushing from a fire hose , fighting a Ca. brush fire..it was a treasure trove of goodies and delights. There were mugs, swizzle sticks, coasters, postcards and oddly there was an empty tiny little bottle of rum..(that's what I'm tell the Mrs. ..it arrived empty Honey) There were many clever items from Trader Vic's...I'm sure the Texas Tiki conglomeration will eventually find forgiveness in their hearts for rubbing our noses in the fact our beloved Dallas Trader Vic's is now closed and a shell of its past greatness.

Be it ever so painful to be reminded, they were really cool things. ...To this great man still famous in Apt C in beautiful Berkeley ,Ca. I sent my thanks and gratitude for his efforts (and the rum) and thoughtfulness...Thanks Minitor....8)
