Because one can never have enough Romanesco in one’s diet.

Three!

DR ChasSmith, I love your Meadowbrook photo!  I only went there once with my parents and some family friends, maybe in the summer of 1970 or 1971.

I was there in 1968 and 1969, and would love to have gone back sometime just to enjoy a concert or two, but it never happened. And I'm especially sorry that those are the only times, other than a family trip through there in the late 1950s, that I've even passed through Detroit. I would like to have known it during its prime. During the summer of '68 a few of us drove down one night to see '2001' in its roadshow presentation at the Sutton Theater, and that, I am sorry to say, was my only visit downtown.

DR ChasSmith, Detroit was a fabulous place to grow up in the 1950s and 1960s.  The riots of 1967 changed the city forever.

You were lucky to be there during the best of times.

[Ginny]

DR Elmore, do you also remember (with regard to "Sunday in the Park...") that I sent you a wad of money in 1984 to purchase theatre tickets for Richard and me to use on the September visit to NYC that we felt we deserved after our fathers had both died in the same week that August?  You got us great seats for the show and we saw both Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin.

I do remember that. Did I get you house seats?

That part I don't remember.  We were way over on the right (stage left) side of the orchestra in the 3rd row.

Then they weren't house seats. They would have been in the center if they were.

That's kind of what I was thinking, but couldn't say it without sounding snarky.

You're so right, DR Jane!

  Singdaw, have you heard of a place called Billy Sushi? 

I have not, DR John G.  But it looks like it's close. And intriguing.  Hope they're still in business.

Two members of the church choir I sing in, fully vaccinated, have come down with breakthrough Covid cases. They're doing OK, and it appears none of the rest of us were exposed. Still, that's a little bit close to home.

We are all fully vaccinated, and fully masked any time we are in the building. Also, we sit and sing fully spaced and distanced.  Still, these new variants are just so much more contagious.

[singdaw]

They determined they were exposed by family members.

That's good.

Someone on my team is going there for her birthday dinner tonight.

Computer is home. We were able to get Dropbox and Zoom on it before I left the store. And we got Word, too, but I'm completely reloading Office 365 just to have the latest and greatest. It's doing that now. Everything is working super fast, I must say. Took a bit of time to get mail working properly, but it is. Now I just have to a figure out which part of the Ethernet cable goes into the computer. For now, wireless is fine and I'll call spectrum at some point. Also, Dropbox asked if I wanted to back-up all my documents, downloads, etc, to keep them safe on Dropbox, so I'm currently doing that. We'll still set up a back-up drive to do it hourly, as well. And now, I've checked and my iTunes library is in the new Music app and I"m about to try it. Music is working fine - new Microsoft Word and stuff is installed and working.

Excellent news, BK! What a releief it must be.

If the dear little beaver were a birth control believer, tell me, where would you get your coat?

Love that lyrical use of the subjunctive.

I bet you’re glad to put this to rest.

I’m having Jamocha Almond Fudge, and I don’t care who knows it.
