a neat profit on the deal.
ACCORDING TO Frank Tedesco
of Milano's in Windsor, the best

place back from Solas and Fay

"Did you wake up grouchy this
morning?" ... "Not today," said the
patient. I let her sleep."
RECORD SWEEPING the disc

Home America" by Mel Ball .. and
performed by Mel and his Colours

Middlebelt, "If you think there's no
paper shortage, just take a look in your

at the gas gauge showing empty and
realize they're teenagers" ... at Kostere's
on West Eight Mile Road, "Nowadays,
remembering the good old days is
called wishing you had foresight." ❑
