Is Delmarva Dealings Trying To Make A Comeback?

Every so often I'll go down memory lane and click on some of "my favorites" to see who's doing what and so forth. I recently popped onto http://www.delmarvadealings.com and found they have been tampering with the old Blog Site again, this time creating a Halloween Color Scheme but no new news. I have been seeing its Founder around lately, in which I have not seen him in many, many months. Could it be they see a slot once again? Time will tell.

Charles Jannace Won Tonight's Forum Hands Down!

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Allow me to start with this. Even if you wanted to come tonight, there wasn't a seat available. For the very first time citizen participation packed the house! Victory #1.

Secondly, not only did Charles flow through every question with ease, the other Candidates were stating flat out, Mr. Jannace is 100% correct, over and over again!

If you haven't listened to him before, you better get out there and listen closely because the man is coming on fast and he's about to pass the pack and take this to victory lane!

Heck, I even think he was able to take a nap in-between questions because they would simply mirror what he was saying! (LOL)

I know I've been hard on the guy lately and in all honest you have to play reverse psychology on Charles to get him to listen and or understand but nevertheless, it's working! Sorry Charles but it's the truth.

I guess it's time to get even tougher on him because if I keep this up he's gonna win this thing, no questions asked! Great night, great performance, great attendance and Tim Spies, I'm so proud of what you pulled together tonight! Wicomico County should be honored to work with you and I hope to see you in the spot light in the very near future because you, my friend, make things happen!

In closing, I forgot to mention in past Posts about another thing Alessi does at these Forums. I'll use tonight as an example but do remember this happens at every single one of them, even when it's only him and Pollitt. They ask the question and choose Charles to go first. Then Pollitt goes next, keep in mind that Charles and Rick have answered the question and have taken two to three minutes to express their thoughts on the question and Alessi always says, "I'm sorry, can you repeat the question again?" He does this time and time again Folks in each debate. Thank God they invented key chains that let you know where your car is in the parking lot Ron because I don't think you'd ever find it without the horn and lights going off.

Initiation Night For Charles Jannace

As this truly was the first Forum in which Charles Jannace was actually invited, Ron Alessi and Rick Pollitt thought it would be funny to shake up their water bottles and offer Charles a drink in the hopes he'd open it and it would splash all over him. Dee, Dee, Deeeee! (water)

As you can tell, Charles has been through this before and was looking on. Instead, Charles said, no thanks Fella's, you go ahead and drink it.

You take a guess at who was dumb enough to open their bottle first? LMAO!

The Old Mall Meeting Tonight At Dove Point

Their presentation was over in about 15 to 20 minutes and then they took questions. A couple interesting things were brought to light 1) The planned density is STILL 800+ which seemed to suprise a few and 2) There are several 6 STORY buildings ( I assume condo units) planned and this seemed to get the crowd stirred up.

There were over 100 people (some candidates Cannon, Pretl, and City Council President Mike Dunn) but mostly general public.

Considering the amount of people showing up for Forum's lately, I'd say this was a Grand Slam Home Run for Linda Kent & Co. Great Job!

Break Time Billiards, Salisbury's Best Kept Secret!

Last night was another HUGE success at Break Time Billiards. While we were playing around with my digital camera, some of the photos didn't come out in JPEG format and I'm trying to change them so I can produce more pictures.

Nevertheless, Charles Jannace was a no show as he was probably at Church asking for forgiveness for ever becoming a Politician. LOL (You have to see some of his latest Posts and even comments to understand that).

Folks, If you've never been to Break Time Billiards, trust me on this one, it's a great time. I have been involved and around the Professional Billiard Tour since 1980 and I have been playing Pool most of my entire life. I used to own a chain of Upscale Billiard Rooms on the East Coast and I like to sometimes credit myself for becoming the first true Upscale Billiard Rooms in the Country.

That being said, I've been in many Billiard Rooms in my day and this place is just fantastic. My Billiard Rooms were more family oriented, (no alcohol) and even though Break Time has a Bar, the Staff there are a fantastic group of people and you don't feel like you're in a place like a Bar. Here's where the biggest secret comes in though. Break Time Billiards is expanding and although their menu is out of this world, it's about to get even better!

I have yet to have a bad meal there and that's a tough thing to do when it comes to my being so picky. Last night I had a Chicken Chesapeake Sandwich and OMG! Jennifer had another Crab Cake Sandwich and again it was so good she finished the whole thing, meaning it's a BIG chunk of crab meat and that's hard for her to do! Get this, they have a TV at every dining table and they're now opening a brand new section for non smoking that is completely enclosed. I think they did that because of our Cigar Club, LOL!

If you've shied away from Billiard Rooms because you grew up thinking there was gambling and a bad crowd there, that's a thing of the past Folks. These people are in business to survive, not to make certain customers wealthy by hustling people. It's a whole new era in Pool and you should get out and try it. When you get your final bill and see that it's extremely inexpensive to go there and play pool you'll come back here and thank me for the tip.

In closing, Friday Nights and Saturday Nights I would think it's more like a Bar than anything else. Keep that in mind when you decide when to go. If you want to relax and play Pool, remember that Sunday's are 1/2 price Pool and that might be a good start to test the place out? Let me know how you like it?

Joseph House Food Drive

Hi.

Volunteers are needed in the Camden neighborhood area to participate in this year's annual Joseph House Food Drive.

For those of you not familiar with how the drive works, volunteers walk the neighborhoods about a week before the canned goods collection, placing plastic collection bags and a flyer at each house on the street. On the day of the drive, those volunteers revisit those streets, collecting the canned goods in the bags that have been placed on porches, then take them to the central collection area, which has been the parking lot at the Civic Center in past years.

It's easy! It's something that a family with kids can have fun with, distributing the bags, then collecting the filled ones. It's also a program with a great history, collecting literally tons of canned goods annually for those who are served by Joseph House's programs.

My children and I (and some of their friends) in past years have had the opportunity to serve our community in this charitable drive. We had a great time doing it as a family outing, spending the Saturday morning doing our collections, then spending the rest of the day together doing other fun stuff. For those kids with public service requirements for school, it's a really great, healthy and easy way to knock off a few of those hours. Certificates of volunteer hours completed are given to anyone who needs them.

If you're interested (and I hope that you might be) contact Bev Ward for the details.

Like Puppets On A String

Do you remember being a small child in grammar school and the ugly lady in the bright yellow jacket with that squeaky annoying voice would yell out, everyone line up in order and make a straight line?

She's Back! OMG, unbelievable! I was attending the Grand Opening of the Neighborhood Services & Code Compliance Headquarters and Police Substation, (I can't wait to call there and listen to someone answer the phone and say that in one breath) while everyone was instructed to line up like good little puppets and listen very carefully while the Mayor did her thing.

DO YOU THINK SHE HAS A CLUE BY NOW THAT SHE'S WEARING THAT YELLOW JACKET AGAIN? Nevertheless, Tom Stevenson did a fantastic job with this project and I was truly impressed. If you've not been there, it's worth a visit to see what good things can be happening far more often once this Mayor is out of Office. It's about building a strong community and working together to make things right. In Barrie's case it's all about the Developers!

It will be so nice answering to Mayor Brenda Colegrove verses Barrie Tilghman. I can see the light people, can you?
