And the word of the day is: MALACIA!

Hmm... Very interesting word of the day.

And I really can't think of an interesting way to use it right now. -Oh, maybe my mind is going through malacia right now.

OH! And first post too! It's been a while for that for me. I think.

bk - I hope you brought two pairs of comfortable shoes with you. One for everyday walking and one for jogging - or just to alternate with your other pair. The soles of your shoes - and of your feet - will appreciate being given a day off every now and then.

I have nothing to say but that it's a good thing I wasn't theere at Skip's show tonight, since I probably would have begged everyone to cab home, and it sounds like everyone had a lovely walk.

And good to know you made it over to the Fifth Avenue Apple Store. Just remember, it's open 24 hours.

*And I gave an iPhone a test-drive the other day. What I was most impressed with was the "page-turning/flipping". Who knew your fingers could do so much!

This is the sound of my soles (almost a Spandau Ballet reference)

And my mosquito bite finally seems to be dissipating. Whew!

I'm guessing it will be still bug me for a few more days, but I'm already starting not to feel it so much.

bk - I keep meaning to ask you - and since it is Ask BK Day - Do you need any "help" procuring tickets for Legally Blonde?

Well, you could have still cabbed it home, and they still could have walked.

-Hmm... Back to the word of the day for a sec... I'm imagining it being pronounced as it would be in Italian. It has a nice ring to it, with an undertone of trouble.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2007, 10:44:49 PM »

OK - I'm babbling which means it's time for me to go to bed...

I hope all the Dear Dogs are doing well now, and make it through to the morning with no troubles too.

Goodnight.

Jose - Well, yes, i could have cabbed alone, but that's not any fun, is it?

DR JMK:

It's Interstate 580 that goes to SF across the Bay Bridge.

It's a good thing you aren't here this weekend. The Bay Bridge is being closed Friday through Monday for work. Local media have been advertising like crazy for a couple of weeks.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #16 on:** August 28, 2007, 11:23:51 PM »

I have some so-so news.

It's "so good" and it's "so bad".

The "so good" news is that my packages WERE delivered....at 5:42 p.m. A co-worker who should have been home having her dinner signed for them.

The "so bad" news is that for the first time this week, the UPS guy did not deliver in the morning. Instead, he was WAY late.

And, yes!

In Italian, the pronunciation would be:

Mah-lah-chee'-ah...which has some "bad" overtones.

I suspect that's because:

In the mail yesterday (well, it's officially still Tuesday, but today's notes are for Wednesday), I received the Sarah Brightman CD of Song & Dance. Good thing, since I actually ordered it.

WARNING - INGESTION MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!

High Fructose Corn Syrup Used in Soda Linked to Diabetes

Quote

Researchers have found new evidence that soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may contribute to the development of diabetes, particularly in children.

In a laboratory study of commonly consumed carbonated beverages, the scientists found that drinks containing the syrup had high levels of reactive compounds that have been shown by others to have the potential to trigger cell and tissue damage that could cause the disease, which is at epidemic levels.

The findings were reported last week at the 234th national meeting of the American Chemical Society.

HFCS is a sweetener found in many foods and beverages, including non-diet soda, baked goods, and condiments. It is has become the sweetener of choice for many food manufacturers because it is cheaper, sweeter and more easy to blend into beverages than table sugar.

Shoot - no fries, no donuts, no coke - what's to live for!

All is not lost - I like white sugar, shortening with bacon fat and cooking in lard - good healthy foods!

Good morning, DRs Edisaurus and der Brucer!

DR Edisaurus, if the woman is voluntarily moving in EARLY, and with all of her STUFF, doesn't that drastically reduce your obligation to clean? Any reasonable person would understand that you can't do as thorough a job as you might like under those circumstances.
