Jane, here's the menu of one of my favorite Mexican places. The enchiladas de espinacas are righteous. The ceviche and the queso  fundido are great. Steve's margarita rules.

Thanks John.  Is cerviche seafood?  I have never liked seafood, Keith does and might be interested in it.  Neither of us like hot.  We think it is hot when other people don't.

I looked at all the restaurants you mentioned and they all look good.  Keith's favorite dish at a Mexican restaurant isn't on any of them.  I suppose it isn't true Tex-Mex though he was able to get it in New Mexico.  He likes a big salad in a bowl shaped shell.  Are you cringing about now ;)

Is Steve's margarita on the menu or something you know to request?

I'd like to see the letter to the lawyer but I can't get to NY Times anymore this month.  Can you cut and paste here?

Maybe this link will work?    https://goo.gl/9FhV1f

This is a direct link to .pdf of the letter:

That's what the judge said DR JANE - in essence:  Where were you when your brother was sick and needed help?

That's a very sad and familiar story DR JOHN G.

Good for the judge.

DR John I am sorry your friend didn't at least try on his own.  I can't blame him though.

For context, here is the original article about Trump that started it all:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/13/us/politics/donald-trump-women.html

And here is a link to the original letter from Trump's lawyers to the New York Times:

BK said that it's a Thursday kind of day in Studio City, but it's been a Saturday kind of day here in my 'hood. I saw my massage therapist yesterday. He rents a room from my acupuncturist in her suite of offices. Whenever I lie down on his massage table I expect him to start putting needles in me. Since I'm usually there on Friday for the needles, I kept thinking that today was Saturday. Oy.

I, too, enjoyed the NYT response to the threatened lawsuit. I think there'll be a lot more collateral damage than certain people are expecting. Melania and the kids may have to face a lot of criticism and embarrassment.

A friend sent me an email this morning that I'd love to post here, but as it makes fun of one of the presidential candidates I won't.

DR ELMORE dreams such as yours should not alarm you.  I should have commented earlier, but because of the "memory problems", I was well into my day when I read them.

When we are facing a medical procedure, we often crave the attention and company of those we were closest to - or those we think might understand us best.  All of your dreams were ones of reassurance and moving forward.

DR CHAS SMITH your dream indicates that you are often in a group of people who claim to know music or theatre very well, but they are in fact woefully misinformed.  You do not consider it your job to correct them, so you suffer in silence and go about your own way.

Melania has no illusions about Tramp, but their son's a young boy and I would like to hope he's kept out of the loop.
As to tIvanka and her big African game hunter brothers, they're as scummy as their father and deserve everything coming to him and them.

Agreed, but something just tells me there will be unexpected consequences.

Out of all this horrible election ugliness I didn't expect to see any light, but actually I think that all the exposure to such blatant sexism will make people--some people, at least--more sensitive to it and that will be a good thing. It reminds me of some diets I've heard of--aversion diets--where you eat so much that it makes you sick and you never want to eat that again. I never expected to say this, but I think something good will actually come out of this horrible ugliness.

Well, if the rumors are true about the Russians putting money into Tramp's campaign and business, they may not be happy if he loses the election since he couldn't hand them the USA. If his businesses keep failing, he may not have the funds to pay them back. He may end up in Russian concrete shoes under the Hudson. That's the only real unexpected consequence i can foresee.

Well, I'm off.  Tonight is our only preview performance, so if anyone shows up, they pay only $5.  Pray for Rosemary's Baby! ;)

Until later.

Indiegogo funds came in - the ones that came to Paypal were, according to the e-mail I got, four hundred bucks short - can't imagine why so I've written them (no way to phone) and hopefully they'll send the rest because that four hundred bucks was the extra we raised to cover all the damn fees.

Steve's is something you have to know to ask for. He likes a taco salad. We should be able to find that somewhere. I'll ask about. There are lots of people who like nothing spicy, so they should be able to handle it no problem.

That's a bummer. THey took my money a long time ago. So they make interest and charge you fees.

Time for another depressing chapter in the Dekalog. I skipped adultery (too long for tonight) and moved on to stealing. If these movies weren't so incredibly good, I'd have stopped watching them long ago.
