I've walked to market at 85th and Broadway, and iSkysoft Data Recvery is once again searching for that LaCie backup file lost somewhere in this hard drive. as soon as it shows up on the desktop - if it does - I shall finish the backup and getvon with my life: Moross and Paint Your Wagon.

I'm listening to Roberta; no matter what several critics have written, i'm very proud of this.

And good morning to all.

I'm still a little zonked from my trip to the ER, but it's a work day and got to do what ones gotta do.

Continued health vibes to DR Mike. I am so glad that you were at the hospital when you had the reaction.

Saturday morning greetings! Here's what Richard and I did 34 years ago today:

TOD:
I mostly excelled in English, history, and non-fiction writing. I won an essay contest in high school for my county. I wasn't too bad in math and even sort of enjoyed it. I had difficulty with science though. In college I started taking computer classes and enjoyed programming until I tried to take a "C" language class and had to drop out. Now, all programming seems to be done in Visual Basic, so who cares? Speaking of which, Druxy brings up an interesting topic of whether or not your education helped you in life. I would say mine most certainly did (except for all those COBOL programming classes). I was interviewing for a job and was called back three times. When I finally got the position, I asked my new boss why she chose me over the other person who also kept getting called back. She said they chose me because I was the one who had a masters degree. Go figure.

Happy anniversary, Ginny!

...and I, too, felt like "school was marking time until I could venture out into the world and do what I wanted to do." I got my bachelor's degree in three years (taking 22 units a quarter) because I couldn't wait to get done. Looking back, those were some of the best years of my life, and I wish I would have taken time to enjoy them more.

TOD:

Never had any trouble with foreign languages, took several simultaneously and could keep them straight. I can't do that anymore. Sometimes when I reach for a word in German, the Spanish or French equivalent will come out of my mouth.

I remember sailing through Algebra II as if it were the easiest thing in the world, but I had more trouble with algebra and geometry. And I think I stopped at that point.

Last night's concert of the Mozart Requiem and the Strauss Tod und Verklarung was largely wonderful. Enjoyed the Strauss more than the Mozart if only because it was purely instrumental and I find the local choral society to be sloppy and ragged. When they finish a word, you'll often hear it end seven or eight different times within the same vocal section. I just wish they'd learn to finish-ish-ish-ish-ish-ish-ish together.

Waiting for the guy from the mortgage company to come over to finish off the refinancing.

John G. · « **Reply #50 on:** January 17, 2015, 09:00:40 AM »

Singdaw, I have about 10 or 12 different bottles of bitters to use for various cocktails and for cooking. I loathe sweet cocktails, so a dash or two of rhubarb bitters in a drink will cut the sugary nature back and make it taste like something I'd want to drink. (I stick largely to the Fee Brothers bitters because the others are often $20+ a bottle.)

But I really like adding a dash or two of, say, cherry bitters to a pork dish or peach bitters in a pie. It adds richness of flavor to things.

I'm headed off to the local cocktail conference after the refinancing. It'll be interesting to see if there are any new flavor combinations of bitters on the market.

We ran a recipe for barbecue bitters and a cocktail in "Barbecue Lover's Texas."

I love bitters in cocktails, though I guess the one thing I usually make that uses them is Manhattans. At home I always use orange bitters which, in addition to cutting the sweet vermouth, are a heavenly complement to the cherry component.

Someone advised adding a couple of drops of regular bitters -- the ubiquitous Angostura, I guess -- to a Martini, too (which I shouldn't have to specify as a gin one, but I will!).

I still remember DR Ginny's phone call to me about meeting a Richard Palmer, whom she believed I knew.

The LaCie has once again been located and the backups are commencing. The Moross number today is the Act One Finale, "The Contraband Ball." It's looooooong.
