Noah's very fine Christmas

It's good to be Noah these days. Though his car got towed Christmas Eve ($189 in cash money to get it back! Ouch!), he had an excellent holiday, largely due of course to the lovely Tara. Some photos: A "Star Trek" calendar! Tara knows Noah's passions. Tara handed Noah a very large gift. Whatever could it be? Wow! The large gift was a blanket she had hand-made of paisley fleece. It's beautiful and warm. Noah loves it! Tara's artistic mom, Melanie, made this for Noah -- a Christmas stocking with a Manhattan-and-Spiderman theme. (Click on the photo to make it larger.) Noah gave Tara a gold locket with a tiny diamond on it and teeny photos of -- who else? -- Noah and Tara in it. Noah, $189 poorer after retrieving his groovy car from the impound lot, shoveled the driveway. Then Noah took Pam out to lunch at Uncle Franky's diner in Nordeast Minneapolis. Why Uncle Franky's? Why not? And, why, look! It's the lovely Tara behind the counter! She practically runs the place! That's why Uncle Franky's! Tara took a quick break from working hard to kibbutz with Noah. Tara and this excellent fellow, who cooked up some great grub for Noah and Pam, operate Uncle Franky's over the noon hour every weekday. (Uncle Franky himself was nowhere in sight.) Here's what you can get at Uncle Franky's. (Click on photo to make it legible.) They innovate, too; Noah got the Noah special, a vegetarian sandwich with interesting spices courtesy of the Ecuadoran cook. Uncle Franky's has a Scooby-Doo theme. Rut-row! It also has a website that features a webcam. When Noah gets lonesome in Duluth, he can tune in and watch Tara serve lunch.
