Ev-er-y day, I’m making my way…to Cafe Leone, in the morning…

Unfortunatley when I get there, all I see is the same post…and I think to myself… Hey, this is the same post as the last 154 days… but then look, there’s Dan…and he’s not writing anything. I’m perplexed.

Dan, I am honored that you allow me to read your words. Christine's last blog post..I'm just a girl who can't say no. Well, I used to be. As of today, I am a bitch.

I have so many rituals, it would take a novel to list them all. What I wanted to say is that your tradition? Is like, the new trend in Vancouver - Yerba Mate is becoming the cool coffee replacement because it apparently packs that much of a punch and is all antioxidant rich and such. You're COOL, Dan.

Not so much rituals as traditions and I find that I often miss them. Loz's last blog post..Choose being kind over being right

Your posts never cease to amaze me. They also manage to bring a tear to my eye. That’s the beauty and ability of your writing.
As for tradition or rituals, my family lacks cultural rituals. I suppose if you consider laughter and forgiveness a ritual, then we’re on it like stink on pooh.
Mancub and I have our own quirky traditions that few people probably consider rituals, but they are things that we have to do or our day can’t start or feel complete.

I still engage in the ritual of “making the soup” for holiday meals. This was my grandmother’s job, and after she passed it fell to me. “The soup” is made from scratch using a fowl, eggs, imported Pecorino Romano, tiny meatballs, gravy and escarole. We always just called it escarole soup. It’s a family recipe, and hails from a tiny village in the Abruzzo region of Italy called Vittorito.

Great post Dan. From the heart.
