In which I do the best Godfather impression I've ever done

I am very thankful for email right now...very VERY thankful. Because I have lost my voice. Entirely. Gone. Due to a bad viral infection. (Though I'm sure inhaling 90 year old plaster dust and mold helped too :)

During the few times a day I can whisper something, I sound like someone from The Godfather:

(Theme from The Godfather plays softly in the background. Jeannie sits upright in the front parlor, a comforter tucked around her and her glasses on her forehead. Her eyes are closed. The phone is ringing but no one answers it. Aaron crouches down on one knee and touches her arm lightly to get her attention...)

Aaron: "Jeannie, what can I do for you?"

Jeannie motions Aaron closer without opening her eyes. Camera angle tightens in on Jeannie's lips whispering into Aaron's ear. Her voice sounds like gravel."Aaron, you are a good man. I need you to do something for me. Something very important, yes? All right. There is this man...down on Christiana and Foster. This man, Aaron, he sells...(cough, cough)...he sells...chocolate ice cream. I need you should bring me some of this ice cream. Now, this you will do for me, yes?"

Aaron clasps Jeannie's hands in his own. "This, this I will do for you." The music fades.

Schmaltzy, eh? Just life at our house.

Actually, Coco the Dog had the best deal of all today. It snowed. And nothing is more exciting to her than her...towel.
