From 5:00 until 8:00, I'll be at a place recently opened by a friend of mine, called, get this, George's Country Cookin. Then, from 9:00 until 12:00, I'll be at my normal New Year's job at a local country club.

My friend, George, is also the owner of one of the better Chinese restaurants in town.

He speaks very marginal English. His host is Genero, a former owner of an Italian restaurant around the corner that recently closed. He looks and sounds like the guy with white streaks in his hair on the Surpranos. The chef is a Mexican. Several of the servers are from Tieland (sp?). The only country music I enjoy playing is from the country of Brazil! What a hoot! George and Genero do local call-in commercials. When George says, "Y'all come back, now", it hilarious!

I'm going to change my name to "Buck" Lay for the evening.

These guys are good friends and I will have a great time!

Hope you folks do, too!


"Buck" Russ
