Hi--just wanted to say that I've been E&T because there was a fire in the storage area of my building and I have no internet or phone (or cable ). So I'm writing this quickly from work before I go home. Hope to be back soon!

I hope you didn't lose anything & everyone is ok. Thanks for the report.

DGD Yogi came in with me and ran around the house multiple times looking for Craig. Finally he settled down next to me whimpering the entire time. As I type this he has gotten up again to explore & whimper at the same time.

Important News Coming in From the HHW International Bureau

Early this morning, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak saw his shadow; so there will now be thirty more years of dictatorship!

Favorite quote from a news article from today's Oregonian department:

She has not recognized anyone since the amputation of her leg.

I'm not sure why this is a favorite quote, and it is kind of old news. Before they did the surgery I kept thinking it was the wrong thing to do no matter the outcome if they don't do it.

Hmmmmm. One of my 1099s says they paid me $1600 more than I have a record for and I keep very good payment records. I wonder if the Institute is trying to pull one over on somebody?

Paul Saini makes a call from inside of a Chicago Transit bus that was stranded overnight on Lake Shore Drive Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011 in Chicago. A winter blizzard of historic proportions wobbled an otherwise snow-tough Chicago, stranding hundreds of drivers for up to 12 hours overnight on the city's showcase lakeshore thoroughfare and giving many city schoolchildren their first ever snow day.

This would not be the first time that a bookkeeping error had occurred. I'd definitely investigate.

Had lentil soup twice in the last four days. So, tonight I just made myself a pot of it, filled with celery, carrots, onions, tomato, garlic, smoked ham hocks. Oh, yes, and lentils.

One last word on the Candide recordings from me. I like almost all of the recordings, except for the big one that Bernstein recorded. Too pretentious and too little fun, which is what "Candide" should be.

The DVD of the concert that prompted the Bernstein recording is far superior; Bernstein talks in depth about the piece and it's fun to see the singers hamming it up to the audience.

That's cold! Wonder rest the rest of the stranded people are. I read some walked away from buses while other's said it was too dangerous & returned, with difficulty, to the stranded bus to wait it out.

That photo makes me too cold just to look at it.

My favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant, The Silk Road Palace, folded, although I still cannot figure out why. It always had a crowd. The space has become a new Chinese joint, The West Lake Palace, and it's pathetic. Can no one there cook broccoli?

We just got back from dinner at Lasagna. I had ground sausage lasagna and Anthony had pasta with diced sirloin. We will have cake in a while. I'm waiting for my sister to call. She called while we were out and said she would call back around 8 our time.

Sounds like a nice Birthday dinner, Ben.

Often, a restaurant closes for a family reason or something other than business. Still, it's sad when it happens.

Don't forget the cake report after you eat it.
