The Beginning At Last

So, I Guess It’s Official

I am your Mayor.

Why, you ask?

This is why…

Now, how freaking cool is that?

Ladies and gentlemen, this totally awesome mug was a gift from my main man Ernie, or as I love to call him, E-DAWG

Ernie,

When I got in this morning, I realized I had received a package yesterday. After I finished my morning pizza (I said cut back “a bit” not “completely”, mind you), I opened the package and saw your totally awesome gift.

Words can’t express how much joy it gave me this morning, my friend.

Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. This truly means the world to me.

And fear not, that Bustelo will NOT go to waste.

Your ever (Okay…sometimes) humble,

Mayor G

This one’s for you, E-Dawg.

    I’m so glad it arrived safe and sound brother. You scared the shit out of me posting about losing the taste for coffee as it was in flight already.

    I forgot the note that said “Have a Drink on me” but you get it. Glad you like it brother.
