I had no idea my grandfather was such a writer. Don’t flirt with me I am already taken by a crazy April woman shirt. I wish I had gotten to know him, but now I like to think he laid it all on the line and tried to help out his friends at the very end. A real mensch. a real mensch and completed such a mitzvah for his man Frankie. may not be truly religious but as I understand it, those men were icons and being true to them was basically a religion/religious experience.
What is April meaning?My great grandfather uses to cook for Frank Sinatra. His name wad Dominick rippling and when he came to Brooklyn, Frank Sinatra would go eat the food my great grandfather cooked. He said my great grandfather made the best chicken parm. I think it explains why I am such a great cook, runs in the Sicilian blood. If you go to a little hole in the wall looking Italian joint with the red checkered tablecloths and a picture of Frankie on the wall (plus one of Joe Dimaggio and some other dudes like that) you know you’re in for amazing food, my friend. Your Grandfather was a good man. Hope they ended up sorting all those mooks out and didn’t leave any behind! Great read!

This is so cool, so real. It speaks of a man who spoke of his experiences in less described “margins” of society. Reminds me a bit of Bukowski and Iceberg Slim. I say that with high compliments. Voice is strong in this. Someone quick makes this a movie. I really want to hear and see it. I can hear Frank as a late-arriving 2nd stage narrator, after gramps passes the baton, with just a bit of color filming in the grandsons acted & narrated intro. In an alternate universe where Frank Sinatra destroys a race of pervert subterranean dwellers, there too, existed a version of Ollanius Pius; and Sinatra considered him a great guy and his friend. Your grandpa’s a hell of an amazing writer, and both him and Sinatra were some pretty incredible people. Thank you for deciding to share his journal with us, I hope they’re both having an amazing time in the afterlife and Barb got back safe!
