Old fence is down and new posts are now being set.

I think it was TCB who asked what a bialy is. It’s related to the bagel and is apparently more commonly found in the northeast.

They’re a bit fussier to slice, being smaller and differently shaped, but they’re very good and have a great texture, especially (IMO) toasted with butter.

ChasSmith, I think the parentheses affect the URL linkage if you just paste it as is, but if you add [ url ] (without the spaces) before the link and [ /url ] (again, without the spaces) after the link, it'll work.

It was cool and breezy here this morning, perfect for getting some needed yard work done. It all looks a lot bettet.

That's "better." I haven't earned my diploma yet from the Vixmom Typography Institute.

We are here until Saturday morning, and have a morning flight back to the Twin Cities.

Does anyone remember the Folger editions of Shakespeare? On the right page was the text and on the left was the explanation of arcane terms and language. Those were wonderful.

John G. · « **Reply #41 on:** July 25, 2022, 08:27:50 AM »

In wonder if they’re still in print.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** July 25, 2022, 08:31:19 AM »

They are in print but with different covers.

I had all of them when I left for NUYC in 1979. They were very popular at The Drama Book Shop. We sold tns of them./ I can't believe whoever now owns Pocket Books would take them out of print.

DR Jrand71, did you watch The Gay Parisian?

TCB · « **Reply #46 on:** July 25, 2022, 09:39:37 AM »

T.O.D.

What's the film with the giant nose? Is that SLEEPER? Then that is my favorite Woody Allen film.

DR George your new paintings are lovely. It was nice you were gifted the second one.

Well, if there’s nothing else to be said, at least we can say it’s Monday.

Did you have to say it?

Thank you, Chas. How did I miss them in New Jersey? Of course, I lived in Lodi, which is sometimes referred to as the University of Sicely!

Oh! Bialystok, as in Max, or as city of.

Monday afternoon greetings! Long time, no see. I really don't know where last week went, but I was kind of brain dead after a too-long DAR planning meeting Wednesday afternoon.

Since I last posted here, Richard and I have watched all 3 Godfather movies.

Last Thursday I had a routine 6-month check-up with my cardiologist. He was looking at some blood test results from earlier this spring and said, "These numbers aren't good. They're GREAT!" That's a way to give a patient another heart attack.
