Haines His Way

Good Afternoon!

bk - I wasn't ignoring you.  I was making lunch.  I guess it was saying I was still logged in, even though I had closed my browser, and had stepped in the kitchen.

And, yes, I will see you next Monday and Wednesday.  -You're buying dinner afterwards, right?  

Should I bring cookies to the auditions?

If you ate a warm Levain's double chocolate cookie and then played the piano, it might soon be difficult to tell the white keys from the black!

What if he are Levain's black-and-white cookies?

Levain doesn't make Black-And-White cookies.  However, I do like the ones from Zabar's.  And then there are the ones from Crumbs.  Instead of the usual chocolate and vanilla glazes, they frost their cookies with the same icing they use for their cupcakes - buttercream!  Talk about decadent!

Pull out the t-shirts,
Turn down the thermostats for air conditioning.
Get out the ice cream,
It may not help much but our brows are glistening now-

For we need a little August,
Right this very minute.
Heat index of ninety,
Cream with sun-block in it
Yes we need a little swim suit,
Picnicking and laughter,
We need a little August now!

Love it!

YUM!

And if you'd like a sandwich before your dessert...

Careful, Jose.....count those calories carefully.

Well, that's very easy to do when you count by 10's.

Convicts Boogie to "Thriller"

...And a couple of other tunes too!

So, DR Ron Pulliam, I guess in HD Blu-Ray, Batman's every crack and crevasse is...

Prominent.

Hmmmm...still doesn't work for me, but I think it's the computer here.

That's 10 for you, and none for me...

20 for you, and none for me...

All for one
And one for all
Some for some
None for none
Slightly less for people we don't like
And a little bit more for me!

Didn't know if those of you who send parcels frequently through USPS were aware:

Due to heightened security, the Postal Service™ is revising standards for depositing mail bearing only postage stamps as postage. Currently, all Priority Mail, International Mail, and APO/FPO mail bearing only postage stamps as postage and weighing 16 ounces or more may be:

*    Presented to an employee at a Post Office™.

*    Picked up by a mail carrier during a delivery stop or during a scheduled stop made to collect other mail not subject to a pickup fee.

Effective July 30, 2007:

*   All mail bearing only postage stamps as postage and weighing more than 13 ounces must be presented to an employee at a Postal Service retail service counter for acceptance. This mail may not be deposited in collection boxes or lobby drops.

*    Carriers will no longer pick up any mail weighing more than 13 ounces bearing only postage stamps as postage from customer mailboxes or at a business’ outgoing mail collection point.

*    Mail bearing only postage stamps as postage and weighing more than 13 ounces that is not presented to an employee at a Postal Service retail service counter will be returned to the customer.

If you have any additional questions, please call 800-ASK-USPS or contact your local postmaster.

I have been laid low.

Yes, I have been knocked down with a bout of allergies.  The weeds that grow in our neighborhood are blossoming, and they are playing havoc with my nasal passages, sinuses and throat.

Fortunately, today is my day off from work, so I'm enjoying the drowsy side effects of the allergy medication I've been taking.

The down-side is that I've been snoozing instead of finishing Harry Potter and the Headly Dallowths.  I'm sure that der Brucer is frustrated by this, because he wants to discuss the book and doesn't want to spring any spoilers upon me.

I've only three or four more chapters to go, so the question is - do I finish them now, or torture him by dawdling?

Even with the allergies, life is good.

 

singdaw - thanks for that USPS information.
