The Fusco Brothers by J.C. Duffy for January 17, 2025

Al ruined it for all, it seems!

First come, first served.

An astronaut … yeah … that’s the ticket …

I’m a doctor, I’m a lawyer, I’m a movie star,

I’m an astronaut, and I own this bar,

I’d lie to you for your love, and that’s the truth.

— The Bellamy Brothers

How peculiar to meet an astronaut one night and then to meet a CIA agent the next.

Astronaut? No, just the first syllable.

Well…Al IS a little spacey.

He is naught.

He embellished that a bit, he’s more like a spaced cadet.

“That’s right, We both went to work at NASA about the same time. I’m an astrophysicist.”
