Congrats to BK on his surprise miracle! I'd like one or two of those in my life, too.

In Alexandria, I once received a parking ticket when I felt quite certain that the meter had not expired when the ticket was written. I think the meter maids assumed it would expire and wrote the ticket anyway. Really annoying! But, like Vixmom, I had not way to prove it.

There used to be a really good French restaurant in Old Town Alexandria called Le Refuge. Very small, but very good.

Kevin, do you know it? On Washington St, just north of Duke St.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

If I was as vain as everyone thinks I am, I would say I nailed it.

But, sadly, I am pretty insecure.

I am guessing you nailed it. Vibes you get the role.

The director of DEATHTRAP accused me of not listing that I had done the show before.

I really had not, but because of that reading, I never did get to play the role.

It was not nice that the director didn't believe you, still it was a compliment.

Jane, I'm pleased to hear you can now eat with both hands. I'd call that a milestone. Would you say you're in the home stretch?

Nowhere near the home stretch, not even half way there.

Today I began wearing my wrist support. In order to do certain task I am moving other parts of my body, such as my wrist, in uncomfortable positions. Not only does the band help my wrist pain it keeps me from bending it when I shouldn't be keeping it straight.

I have mentioned the ticket in Los Angeles, actually the two tickets down the street from each other for the same car at the same time. We could not get the impossible extra ticket dropped.

DR Vixmom I think you should ask your boss to pay for it.

No, DR Jeanne. But I'm not one to ask about such things. I'm not much of a foodie (and I'm a vegetarian).

Hope you get the role in the play, DR TCB!

At least as of last October,we walked by but did not eat there

It's been a busy day.

First dance lesson was at 8:30 a.m.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:42:53 PM »

Followed by an intense dance lesson from 10 to 11:30.

Had lunch at a Jamaican place with some good, not great, jerk chicken.

Then off to a 60th birthday party for a friend. His wife had a craps table, roulette and black jack with real croupiers and fake money.

I only played roulette, which I had never done before. I hit the number twice. And the gambling bored me as it usually does.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:45:16 PM »

But I saw a bunch of people I hadn't seen in years, and that was fun.

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:45:46 PM »

Then I went to an Oktoberfest for some beer, a brat and potato pancakes. Good stuff.

John G. · « **Reply #112 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:46:23 PM »

Now I'm at home to rest and unwind before bed.

TOD:

I love French food, especially the dishes from the countryside. Ratatouille, lentils, meat and bean stews like cassoulet, coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, pear or apple tart tatin.

This French pumpkin tart with prunes in it looks especially wonderful to me.

I also love a French recipe I found in Larousse Gastronomie, the greatest of French cookbooks, for eggplant boats, which you can fill with all kinds of wonderful things, from sausage for meatlovers to dried fruit and vegetables for vegetarians, and you bake them in the hollowed out halves of eggplant.

Where is everyone tonight?

John G. · « **Reply #117 on:** October 06, 2018, 08:35:02 PM »

We can get to page five with a little push.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** October 06, 2018, 08:35:14 PM »

Vixmom, I'm sorry about your parking ticket.

John G. · « **Reply #119 on:** October 06, 2018, 08:35:25 PM »

Let's move on.
