WELCOME TO PAGE SEVEN!

I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

I am quite bored of being on page seven and yet we have stalled on page seven.

I've gotten some fascinating e-mails in the last ninety seconds - toilet paper coupons, blood sugar doctors, and local foreclosures by Gracia.

up to DR SINGDAW's neighborhood.

It's a-flyin'!  Not nearly as bad as for DR Cillaliz, but it's coming down fast and furious and we have several inches already.

Wind is still 40 MPH.  the snow is finally slowing down

I have never heard of this Jim Cantorre fellow.

I'm not spelling it right.  He's on the weather channel.  He goes where it's really bad and does live shots.

Jim Cantore

He's on The Weather Channel, DR Singdaw, and if he's broadcasting from your locale something BIG is on the way.  Last time he was in Dayton, OH, we had a pre-Christmas snowstorm that kept us housebound for 3 days and the snowplow got stuck at our corner.

What she said ;)

DR Ginny reminds me that I, too, loved liver and onions as a kid.  It was kind of a regular thing for us.

(Best I ever had, though, was in Cleveland at a greasy spoon near the University Circle area called The Big Penny.  That was with onions and bacon, and this place had my favorite french fries in the world, which I'd rank right up there with those at Dolores.)

Oh, I really like liver and onions.  I may have to make that when I can get out again

When I used to eat meat, the onions were the only thing that made liver palatable for me.

Gotta add mashed potatoes and lots of butter on the potatoes

My mom makes an interesting peach pie. Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I didn't

Even your mother's cooking is funny :)

Well, she doesn't like to cook, so sometimes she has patience with it and it's great and sometimes she doesn't so it's not as great.....

Patience peach pie. I like the sounds of that.

 I'll see if I have the recipe, it's actually a really good pie when you don't take it out of the oven before it's done....ie when you have patience

Joshua Bell was really good. He performed Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 9 and a sonata by Faure'. Then he closed out with the Hungarian Dance from Brahms, the Chopin's Nocturne, and Wieniaski's Scherzo Tarantelle, which was super showy and lots of fun.

I hear he's a real diva off stage, but no matter. After the concert, he gladly signed anything for everyone in the audience and posed for pictures.

He was great here too. I think he was here a year two ago. Loved him

Just reported 15 inches of snow on one tv station. Put that with 40 mph winds and that's why the interstates are closed and no travel everywhere.  Cool.  Haven't had a real blizzard in years.

I have two appellate briefs due between now and Monday. One on Friday and one on Monday.  They are a lot of work.  I finished reviewing everything for one of them tonight and did some of the research.  Hopefully I can finish the research and write the one due Friday tomorrow.  That would relieve a lot of my current stress. I am very happy the appeals court has gone electronic. So, I only have to get it all done and can efile it.  That I can even do in a blizzard

My favorite Explorer baseball player signed for next summer.  He's such a cutie, the bluest eyes you've ever seen.  He's my friend on Facebook :)  I'm sure he never looks at my FB but he has given a thumbs up when I post or share a post about him and tag him in the post

15 inches of snow. That just sounds so wrong.

But I'm glad you don't have to be out in it.

I went frame shopping again today. This was optometrist #7. They don't stock the frame I wanted, but they are willing to order it for me. It's a Gucci frame and more than I wanted to pay, but it's the only frame I've found that fits me well. My insurance will cover some of the cost.

In Virginia, I had an optician who was excellent. If she didn't stock something I wanted, she'd ask one of her staff to find something for me. And they did. That level of customer service seems so rare now. I don't understand it. Yes, it takes some of their time, but it's also a sale.
