For dinner, we went to an Italian place called Nina June’s. A lot has been written about it. We managed to get a reservation I guess since it’s out of season.

Carol had a thin green pasta made from parsley and egg. It was tossed with crab meat and a lemon sauce. Luscious.

I had three appetizers because they were three of my top 10 favorite foods. How could I say no?

I had a half-dozen local oysters on the half shell, a plate of local radishes with bagna cauda (warm butter dip with anchovies and garlic), and two huge bones filled with marrow.

My friend saw Meteor Shower and said she didn't think Amy Schumer deserved a Tony nomination.  Some are saying she was nominated for ratings purposes.

I wondered. :-\ I like Amy Schumer, but I wouldn't have thought that she was a Tony caliber actress.

Oh, this one's just a spelling thing. Sometimes there's something you just never quite get straight in your head. For me, this is one of those things.

Well, I must be going.  I'm going to meet my friend Shelly for dinner at the local Plaza Jalisco Mexican restaurant.  Their food is quite delish! 

Be back later.

I have had good luck finding books on this trip, including a Balzac I haven’t read and a Hawthorns I’m really enjoying. There’s also something odd called Ginger Rogers and the Riddle of the Scarlet Cloak.

Keith's mother's maiden name ends with stein and is pronounced steen.  As is often the case it is a variation of the original name which sounded closer to Steen, therefore the family pronounced it that way.

Does Rod Rosenstein, deputy attorney general, read HHW?

The STEEN vs STINE debate was present today in Washington, along with impeachment, according to the NY Times:

"But he [Rosenstein] also held forth on less weighty matters, including pronunciation of his own last name, an occasional topic of lighthearted debate in Washington.

“So, there’s no right answer to that,” he said. “My father pronounces it ‘stine.’ That’s how I pronounce it. But I actually have relatives who pronounce it ‘steen,’ so I’ll answer to either one.”

I once worked for a guy whose last name could be pronounced two ways. Some days he'd use one, other days the other. Now THAT is going too far, IMHO.

I watched CALL THE MIDWIFE. That show does deal with some difficult subject matter. But there's always so much grace and kindness, as well. There's so much warmth to it. I really like the show.

Thank you, Jane. Not everyone "gets" my sense of humor. In person, one can provide facial expressions or some subtle body language. Here all we have are emoticons. Not the same!

DR John G, please note the use of only one space following the period in my posts above, even though I'm really a two-space kind of girl.
