I guess what I loved most was MR BK sitting in the chair and scraping it along the floor.....that's crazy I know.....but I understood it.....I recognized the genius of it.....and I knew a kindred spirit when I saw it......

Bravo, MR BK!  Long may it wave.

I laughed out loud at that, too! :))

George, your new glasses are nice, but then so are your old ones. 

Thanks, Jane.  I like my old frames, but I needed new lenses, and I always get new frames every couple of years...just because. :)

What's cool is that the back arms of the new frames are adjustable:

Very Cool.  Are they comfortable?

They are quite comfortable.  I really like them.

Great session with my student Joe. He may recommend me to someone, a trombonist.

That's great, Larry!

I just pulled an apple from the fridge. It’s larger than a grapefruit.

It’s an Envy apple. And it’s excellent. But it is huge.

Wow!  I've seen and had some pretty big apples, but they've tended to not have much flavor. :-\

From DR MichaelG:

Quote
Which pizza place in Cambridge? Most of my old favorites from the area are alas lone gone, especially those with what I considered a Boston-style pie with emphasis on the tomato sauce. Though Regina's is still in the North End as far as I know.

Bel Canto's.

Wow, that's a blast from the past! They were good indeed.

Keith will appreciate that you said this.  Did you have walnuts on your pizza?

I've never had walnuts, but I love cashews on pizza.

A fun read about Dashiell Hammett’s WWII service in Alaska.

That's quite interesting.  Thanks for the link, John.

Yes, thank you.  I just finished reading it.

I wonder how many Envy apples it would take to make a pie.

I have a great idea for a new television series. It's El Chapo, teaching the other prisoners to clap rhythmically.

I would call it El Clapo.
