Chai is a Hindi word meaning "tea." So if you say "Chai tea," you're really saying "tea tea."      :)

And when you say "shrimp scampi", you're saying "shrimp shrimp".

If you haven't read Paul's book, I do recommend it.

Thank you for that notice, DR Elmore.

Although I didn't know Paul Ford, or even very much about him, the news was shocking. I will absolutely want to read his book.

I have ventured outside so little during this arctic HELL, but I have a voice lesson to accompany this afternoon so that'll get me out for a bit. We might also get up to an inch of ... you know ... this evening, which could happen as I'm returning. I do believe we're in for a good slow thaw starting Sunday or thereabouts.

I owe Paul Ford for A&T getting published. After over 70 literary agent rejections, I sent Paul an email asking how he got a publisher. He said, it's my neighbor. So, I sent Robert an eail  "How do you feel abpout publishing whimsy?" And he replied, "Send it to me."

I thought I remembered something like that involving A&T, then I got caught up in the news itself and didn't pursue it.

Do I dare tie this parody song Youtube [still "unlisted"] to the shock of a certain President declaring, even jokingly, being a King?  If I lose my nerve, maybe I'll take it down later.

From the articles: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” he wrote. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”

Felt like a possible time to upload our YouTube to the upcoming 250th anniversary of our independence from a King! :)
The U.S. will celebrate our Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026. There's still time to learn how to spell and pronounce it properly.

It is 5 degrees here headed for 21 degrees.  We got about 3 inches of S**W last night, but I don't have to go anywhere for a few days and it is going to be in the 40's and 50's by Saturday, so I am not going to shovel anything.....

Well maybe the sidewalk for the mailman.

DR Elmore, do you know the name Nathan Fifield?

If he's someone you or anyone else has mentioned, my apologies for it not sticking to my brain.

In the meantime, a rendition of "So Long, Farewell":

Back when I was on Facebook, Paul Ford and I exchanged a few personal messages. Fun because of his opinions.  He didn’t hold back. I do want to read his autobiography. Thanks for the reminder, Elmore.

His name is new to me. A friend sent me the "So Long, Farewell" clip, so while listening to that I looked him up. I was struck by his involvement in ballet.
