I think your new medication just kicked in.

Why has no one left you a comment? And more importantly, why haven't I? Bah. Bad friend!

Hope the math (or ...?) is going well.

Lox sounds so good right now. Yum.

I didn't read Poe in the 3rd grade, but that's because I skipped 3rd grade. However, I'm pretty sure I was reading him in 2nd grade.

I had a bunch of those excellent old Dover anthologies. Something like this for example: http://store.doverpublications.com/0486428443.html

There was a classic Dover series of anthologies of mystery stories, suspense stories, adventure, so on. That's where I read "The Most Dangerous Game," for example. And probably "The Monkey's Paw." And so on.

I could have lent you a copy of the McGraw Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology ... I pretty much memorized the thing before I was 12 anyway.

I had some mushrooms lying around from a previous meal so I tossed them in. Also I sauteed the onions for a bit, then added the shrooms, then the garlic, before adding the broth. I prefer the flavor that way.

I cook several times a week, and we eat leftovers the rest, which is to say that unless we eat out or order, I'm the cook.

I think I made a pineapple upside down cake 15 or 20 years ago or something. Sure, fire away with your recipe. That reminds me of this awesome recipe in the older Joy of Cooking for a pineapple souffle, involving macaroons. I don't know if the current edition still has it.

I love the new photo.

Also, if a girl had quoted T.S. Eliot to me back in college, that would have been it! Stalker time! (Or true love.)

Actually there was this girl who did swap some Eliot references with me back then, and I kept track of her for a couple of decades afterward.

Hope the New Year is still treating you well!

The other quote is from The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester.

You need a new comment.

Hope all is well!

I only learned programming in Pascal and evolved into a technological failure. I'D probably be happy simply to listen to you and to tell you that as far as I understood (which is not a distance measured in parsec) you are right... LOL!

I have a few female friends who are totally into gear. Well, at least significantly into it.

I was at a friend's house tonight (note the late hour ... I drove home 1-1/2 hours at 1:30 in the rain ...) and we were cracking up at the blender videos.

Hope your winter break will be a good one!

I think I'm probably going to get that uber U-lock and then some auto tow chain for the wheels. But it's unlikely I'll keep it on the bike that often because the bike is going to be with me or in sight or indoors all the time from now on.

There is a special spot in Hell for bike thieves.

Cheers. Nice hearing from you!

PS - I never once carried a chain or lock on my previous bike ... and umpteen years later I still have it. It's early 90s chromoly technology though. I think I forgot that I basically never ever left the bike outside. Oh well.

Ah, my sexy avatar pic! It's a photo by Noboyushi Araki, who is bar none the greatest living Japanese photographer (listen to me pontificate!) - if you don't know his stuff, order a copy of Tokyo Lucky Hole or check out the wonderful documentary about his utterly amazing life, Arakimentari.

Yes!

That's a cute profile pic. Wonder how long it took me to notice.

This storm is pretty damn cool. I wish I had a porch.

You know Jack Sparrow is coming back.
