Very much so. He also left phone messages for my siblings but

none > ML> of > them answered back.

That's a little sad, but if you are not close, it's
not that much of a loss, to anyone, is it.

I'm not kept awake stewing over it. (G)

That kind of family; you've let us know some
things in previous posts.

OTOH, there are cousins I do stay in contact with on a regular basis.

It's good to have someone at all. Myself, I quit
bothering (with) my cousins.

Correct. Water is allergenic to a very few people.
I have no idea how they manage to survive at all,
much less last more than a generation or two.

That would be hard. BTW, talking with a young lady in our church today

It's claimed that there are 32 diagnosed cases.
I forget whether that's in the US or worldwide,
but it's tiny enough a population not to merit
investigation except for pure humanitarian and/or
pure curiosity reasons.

who is a nurse--she said that chlorhexidine is now in some alcohol wipes
so now I know to check those out before use.

Oh, terrific, another thing to worry about.

Well, make sure it's prominent in your record.
Best you can do, then hope someone reads it if
you get admitted unconscious.

It's in my ortho records, will be in my primary care doctor's records in
a couple of weeks. I'll also have it added to my Medic Alert profile.

It's perhaps time I got me one of those, but so
far I hate jewelry enough that I'd be willing
to risk death rather than wear any.

about music, and it turns out that this guy, his name is
Ike Stern, had just gone out to dinner and eaten too much,
so he was taking a stroll, and he heard 76/4, and the rest
is history. Oddly, this story was verified by another e-mail
correspondent who played with Utah and had asked Stern about
that incident some three or four decades before, which Stern
remembered perfectly.

Interesting, and that it was corroborated makes it more so.

He was in town to play for a movie.

the much commoner 70.

That does seem to be more readily available.

I just ingested a bar of the scarce 78, and it is indeed
a little more pleasing to me than the 70.

Just that slightly less sweet taste........

Mostly; there are aroma note differences
as well, though not pronounced enough for
me to recall offhand.

Ghirardelli and Michel Cluizel are easily

...

Never heard of the 2nd name, don't see 99% Ghiradelli around here.

It's a prestigious French brand that is getting known
in the US.

OK, something to start looking for.

When the greenbacks aren't too lonely.

before Passover, but today's ontopicizers are KfP
foods, as I'm getting that out of my system and
will not bother deliberately sending out more
afterward, unless it's germane to the discussion.

Not a problem, one way or the other.

Jacksonville (NC) got a couple of inches of snow on Tuesday.

In the 40s now, the snow melting rapidly; we have
a few nights' slipperiness coming up no doubt, and
then I'm off to 80-degree land. I need to find a hat.

Spring Training games?

Yeah. Swisher has scheduled us for I think 7 of them.

Fun--various teams or one specific?

Seven games, 6 stadiums, 9 teams in various matchups.

I still don't plan to use the phrase, especially related to food.

That's what I figured you guys would eventually say.

Mind reader. (G)

Hi Michael,

not that much of a loss, to anyone, is it.

I'm not kept awake stewing over it. (G)

That kind of family; you've let us know some
things in previous posts.

OTOH, there are cousins I do stay in contact with on a regular

basis.

It's good to have someone at all. Myself, I quit
bothering (with) my cousins.

As with foods, it's a matter of personal choice.

Correct. Water is allergenic to a very few people.
I have no idea how they manage to survive at all,

Not something that most people even consider to be a spot on the radar.

I know, bummer, isn't it?

Now that you have the pacemaker, it is probably something to consider. I originally started with them when I was having a lot of trouble with my
asthma, have kept up with them as other issues developed.

And got in some other playing time he'd not anticipated.

Mostly not really noticed for most people.

Or just feeling like a splurge.

Anything memorable, like an unassisted triple play?
