This is what it sounds like when a trombonist sneezes into his mouthpiece during a concert:

Happy St. Paddy's Day, all!

I've gone missing for a couple of days, partly because my lovely Irish mother was in the hospital, and there was a real fear of losing her yesterday. Happily, she made it through an emergency surgery and is in ICU for recovery. So far, so good.

~~~Quick Recovery Vibes for RYacko's Mother!!~~~

Of course, DR Jennifer and DR Michael Shayne are our resident experts on the weather in Canada, but I've been to both Ottawa and Montreal in summer (July) and experienced 70s and low 80s. It was starting to cool in September, whereas in DC September is still hot, so a shorter summer than DC, but still quite ample, to my mind. But I don't like hot weather. And I'm told that British Columbia is quite temperate.

Well it is still very cold here now. But often in April it is nice. And May. June, July and August are usually fairly hot. I would say it is 80s in July and August. And September is usually nice as well.

Monday afternoon greetings! Just now getting on the computer after a mid-moring coffee date with my friend Becky at a new Starbucks that's exactly halfway between her home and mine - very convenient! Did a couple of errands on the way home, ate a late lunch, and did some housekeeping chores.

Vibes for DR ryacko's lovely Irish mother!

TOD: I have no particular memories of St. Paddy's Day other than it was my maternal Grandfather's birthday...

Ginny · « **Reply #157 on:** March 17, 2014, 12:57:59 PM »

TOD: I only have memories of 2 St. Patrick's Days - 1973, when I was in grad school in Ann Arbor and we had one heck of a blizzard. And, 1991, when we had a Japanese college student (Mayumi) staying with us and she and Rob and I made and decorated shortbread shamrock cookies. Mayumi was invited to the home of another host family that evening, so I fixed up a tray of cookies for her to take. She presented it at the door, saying, "These were made by Mom!"

I'm feeling so Irish I think I'll eat some popcorn to tide me over till the Irish dinner I'm having.

And more vibes.

I had so much corned beef I'm making it in two pots. The first (smaller) one has about an hour to go.

Additional vibes for the mother of DR ryacko.

The only memorable St. Patrick's Days were here at work when we've had parties...usually simple finger food on a break, but we haven't done that in several years. Otherwise, nothing special sticks out in my mind. $:-\$

Had some popcorn.

Now I'm feeling even more Irish.

Also, I do not like corned beef and cabbage. My mom is actually making some for dinner tonight, but my sister and niece are vegans, so they'll bring their own foodstuffs, and I'll bring my own, also (probably a Subway sandwich

). My parents will be the only ones eating the corned beef and cabbage.

The earthquake this morning was intense - short, though. I just did what I always do - sat in bed and kept saying, "Stop, stop, stop" until the thing listened to me. It probably wasn't the ten seconds I thought, more like six.

I read 5 but people talked as if it was much longer.

My library just got Gravity and Catching Fire. So it will be a big movie week for me as I'm going to see Divergent on Wednesday.

I don't actually love going to the movie theatre, as I have a hard time sitting for that long. For some reason my knees don't like being scrunched up like that.

My entire body feels that way

Is your theater stadium seating? Those tend to be more comfortable.

It was indeed intense--lots of shaking rather than the rolling kind. Yes, five or six seconds, rather than ten. I normally just sit still and wait to see if something more is happening. Today, though, perhaps because I was sleeping, it scared me and I was thinking, "This could be a big one," and jumped out of bed.

When you jumped out of bed where did you go?

I can see it now. Jolt happens and the immediate reaction of everyone is to grab whatever device is handy and post to Facebook. I mean withi five second.

I think that many younger people cannot fathom being alone, and thus feel they must share EVERYTHING.

Age had nothing to do with sharing the news on FB-lol. Being alone might have. It is nice to have people to talk to when you are wide awake and can't sleep anymore. I hope you were able to go back to sleep.

This is funny, dinner at the parent's only everyone takes their own food

My mother used to cook corned beef and cabbage but not for St. Patrick's Day, but then she was English
