19867. Macnas - 7/26/2006 9:40:03 AM Very good Mago.
How's Flexi doing? 19868. Magoseph - 7/26/2006 11:19:17 AM Coming along, Mac, thanks--he has enough of being handicapped, he says, but he must be patient for another six weeks or so before his sight is up to par, according to the surgeon. The tear in his eye slows the recovery some, but two of the four stitches were taken out yesterday. 19869. Macnas - 7/26/2006 12:37:02 PM Ouch! 19870. alistairConnor - 7/26/2006 4:10:11 PM Golly, France is hot.
Incredibly good luck with the holiday choices : Normandy could have been cool and muddy, instead it was the best place in France to do some serious cycling in a developing heatwave.
And what a great summer to visit Ireland! They were complaining about the heat and drought, but we were never seriously inconvenienced, to put it mildly : i.e. we were only cold a couple of times, and it's true that it only rained on us two days out of seven.
We got home at 2.15 this morning. Off the boat in Normandy at midday, and all the way across a sweltering France (only 35 degrees or so, but we don't have air conditioned cars and the like). Good to be home, the courgettes have gone feral, and we'll get some serious tomatoes soon. 19871. alistairConnor - 7/26/2006 4:11:36 PM Great to meet Macnas, it's an extraordinary thing to put a voice and a face on someone I've known for so long. I think he was a little bit freaked out by the experience, never met a virtual person before... We will surely meet again. 19872. arkymalarky - 7/26/2006 5:08:02 PM Sounds like a great trip all around.
It's cloudy here today, and I'm afraid to even dare to hope for rain. We haven't had rain since early June in our yard.
But we do have well water again, thank goodness. 19873. Macnas - 7/26/2006 5:32:21 PM It was really good meeting Alistair and his enchanting daughters, not to mention the famous van.
The calvados is going down a storm by the way. Next time you are here, we'll plan it a bit better and I'll get you some poitin. 19874. Jenerator - 7/26/2006 5:44:46 PM That's so neat you two met - I don't suppose someone tooka picture? 19875. Jenerator - 7/26/2006 5:48:07 PM Ms.No,
Dickey's is good. Did you know that Ross Perot eats at the one in downtown Plano when he's here?
You'll have to give Sonny Bryant on Inwood a shot - they're fantastic! Also, JWs on Industrial has the most delicious ribs, but who wants to drive down to the Lew Sterritt area just for BBQ!?
;-) 19876. wonkers2 - 7/26/2006 5:59:50 PM Ross Perot, that little weasel would be enough to cause me to avoid the place! Oh, but I guess he did help Clinton get elected, so he can't be all bad. 19877. judithathome - 7/27/2006 1:27:12 AM Boast all you want about Dallas BBQ but you won't get anything as good as Angelo's in Fort Worth. I mean, seriously...no contest. 19878. wonkers2 - 7/27/2006 2:03:00 AM No! No! No! The best barbecue is at Harold's in Lakewood (Atlanta) Georgia. Harold's 19879. arkymalarky - 7/27/2006 2:29:02 AM Nownownow, according to one Americana-type magazine the best is in the little town where I work. Or it's in the top 5 at least. And Judith's had some of it! (though I don't know if that's the "best" that's there. A number of people there cook great bbq) 19880. jexster - 7/27/2006 8:27:12 PM A couple - friends of mine - are pregnant and due yesterday. So I call this morning, Jamie answered
"Dude!"
"Can Sam come out and play?"
"He can tommorrow"
"How you know?"
"I am in labor. I just broke water!"
"What RU doing talking to me? Get your ass to the hospital girl! Where's Bennett?"
"Bennett's in Berkeley"
"Where's your dula?"
"She's getting accupuncture (!!)" 19881. alistairConnor - 7/27/2006 9:26:04 PM Well, I could do the doulas. 19882. alistairConnor - 7/27/2006 9:52:33 PM Is that the Bennett of the memory game? I'm not sure he ever charged me for it. 19883. Jenerator - 7/28/2006 3:03:07 AM Kreusz Market in Lockhart (?) is touted as the best barbecue in the State of Texas. 19884. Magoseph - 7/28/2006 2:04:33 PM What happened to your Mote name, Jen? 19885. Magoseph - 7/28/2006 2:07:50 PM As in JEnerator, I mean. 19886. Jenerator - 7/28/2006 3:07:34 PM I logged in too fast.
;-)
