DR TCB, the food at Amber Rose very good.  Richard had Lithuanian, Rob had German, and Mary Linda and I had Polish.  My Mom had the fried shrimp - they were huge and there were a dozen on her plate.  She took about half of her dinner home, along with a box of 6 cabbage rolls that she's going to share with her friends.

Next time  I am in town, we will have to go to dinner there.

That would be fun!

Lots of tweeting about this from #ala12, DR Jane.

Any interesting comments that stand out?  I was surprised by this article.  The waiting list for some of the more popular books is very long.  Obviously people in Oregon are checking out eBooks.  The problem I find is that there are fewer & fewer new books available.

'night

[ChasSmith]

Good evening.

Spent a delightful evening outside on the deck with friends, grilling rib eyes, corn on the cob, and enjoying various and sundry snacks and libations.  Not so many libations that I won't enjoy a good movie, but I don't know what it's to be yet.

The air was actually perfect and, strangely enough, there weren't many mosquitoes out.  Stranger still, not a single one of the ones that WERE out found me an attractive source of sustenance.  That's a rare event, and I decided to quit while I'm ahead.

Early call for Lima tomorrow morning - 'night!

OMIGOD you guys.  If Legally Blonde didn't have a male ensemble, we'd be in good shape.  The major percentage of no-shows today were men.  So, now it's time to call.  I hate calling, and I don't beg... I just present the facts.  But I hate it nonetheless. 

Will you be calling the no-shows?

Absolutely not.  They missed their window.  We may consider if they call and tell us some sob story as to why they could not make their time, but if they don't bother, neither do we.

I remembered that lyric from "The Grass Harp" after I spotted this field in the Hill Country today. I turned around and went back, even though stopping made me late for my appointment.

The foot rub adventure was fascinating.  I had a nice Asian lady.  But it's not just a foot rub - she began doing a little facial massage, then a little scalp massage, both very relaxing.  Then she did a little work on the arms.  Then she went to the feet, which had been soaking in warm water.  She spent the majority of the hour on the feet, which was fantastic.  Then in the last ten minutes or so she had me turn over and she did a little on the back - so it's really like getting a long foot rub with a mini-massage.  An excellent use of thirty dollars and I'll definitely go back.

Interesting.  I e-mailed it to my work and will see if anyone else has heard/read about this.  They certainly have stats on usage, but I don't know what their expectations are.

That's a great picture, John!
