Back from having a bacon cheeseburger and no fries or onion rings and picking up no packages. Garage is all clean and organized and all that's left to do is go through a huge pile of sheet music to organize that into proper books for our Kritzerland shows.

MBarnum, I am Facebook friends with one teacher, but she's a teacher in the grad school I'm now attending. None from high school or grade school or even undergrad years.

But a friend from high school must have seen that in the Louisville paper and passed the word along.

MBarnum, there's a place just back of the office that I tried for the first time today. (I don't usually leave campus for lunch.) Anyway, it's called India Chaat and it had wonderful Indian street food for lunch. And there were previews of upcoming Bollywood movies as well as musical numbers from some of the films playing on the big screen. The walls also had several pictures of Bollywood stars on the walls.

Did you get your new suit DR DOUG R?

Not yet.

Back home after drinks with friends. The bar was really packed out, which for mid-week is unusual - maybe the economy is finally picking up.

I keep thinking that I'd like a tablet and am considering buying a Kindle Fire HD. It was released this week in the UK and I was looking at a demo model in a store today. I thought it was quite impressive.

Off to Salem to get some property from my neighbors.

In other news, a popular Indian comedian was killed in an auto accident yesterday. Punjabi language cinema favorite Jaspal Bhatti died in the wreck when the car he was riding in hit a tree.

He and other cast members were traveling to promote his latest comedy film which opens on Friday, and which he also produced and directed, titled POWER CUT.

The film's leading man Jasraj Bhatti and the leading lady Suril Gautam (this is the first film for each) were both seriously injured along with another passenger who may or may not be an actor in the film (none of the news reports mention who he was).

Very sad. He was a very, very funny guy, and I imagine the film's opening will be rather bittersweet. I do hope the injured performers make a full recovery.

It does look like a fun film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU64LaeS3xU

That is very sad, MBarnum (Congrats TCB, my first attempt did not have one correct letter typed). I hope the film will still be a hit.

What would you use it for? Since my computer broke a couple of days ago, I have been using my tablet as I would my laptop. SO, I've come to hate the tablet because of the writing that I have to do and cannot do easily without a keyboard.

Radish sandwiches? I dunno. It's what we would eat for breakfast in Germany. I eat it whenever I have to toss something together quickly.

I used to serve it at my annual radish party, aka Noche de los Rabanos, on Dec. 23.

Good morning. I've been to Costco and back hoping to get new tires, and it turns out they don't carry my size so I had to order them (and pay for them). They should be here in a few days.

Tomorrow, the DP and I are heading up to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. We are seeing Leon Russell in concert. I, of course, have heard of him, but the DP has not and so far is not impressed. I heard it's a good show. I'll definitely report back.

Matthew, I hope things are better, between you and your DP, now that the Frankenfriend has gone.

And in more unrelated news:

I watched the final presidential debate and I must say that my favorite part is when the families of the two debators come onstage and everyone is nice to everyone else. It warms my heart.

My favorite was when one of Romney's little grandson who couldn't be more than 4 years old was chatting up Obama. It was adorable. Such a cute kid and the president seemed like he was having fun listening intently to the little guy.

That was because the little boy was telling the President of the United States, "Your wife looks just like our nanny."

I will go back, but mostly because the food was really good. There was only one dish I wasn't thrilled with: sev puri, which tasted like fried carbs. But the chicken curry had a whole cardamom pod in it, and that flavor was driving me crazy. Also a good lentil dish and roti.

Driving home last night from the hospital I got caught in a hurricane like rain storm. I drove very slowly for a few miles and then it stopped. But looking in my rearview I could still see the storm.

That wacky Floridian weather

Hospital or airport?
