=============================
Howdy Michael!

->  -> 4. I don't know, but I'll find something. I will also
->  -> be quite voluble in trashtalking Zone Alarm for the
->  -> foreseeable future.
->  HN> Have at it, and enjoy yourself while your at it.
-> 
-> No problem, I'll relish every moment!
-> 
I know the feeling!

->  ->  HN> along with "find fried gizzards and livers" and "have a beer"
->  -> "A" beer?
->  HN> Shh Carol may be watching (grin)!!
-> 
-> She's seen me drink more than one beer at a sitting.
-> Sometimes she'll actually offer to go to the fridge and
-> pick up a refill for me. I have it good, I really do.
-> 
But she's much less likely to encourage you to come out this way if she 
thinks you'll become a sodden rummy for the duration (grin).BTW I have a 
friend who does home brews and I've got a couple of bottles he just gave me 
in the Fridge....I won't be drinking them anytime soon...will I? (grin)

->  -> Some great players got their start there - Skip Lockwood, Marty
->  -> Pattin, Mike Marshall. And the team lasted, what, 1 season plus?
->  HN> One season. 1969....and Lou Pinella was a member of that team
-> 
-> Hum. In my imperfect memory (see post above to Fordinski) I
-> seemed to recall that Danny Ainge was there, but in fact he
-> played for the Brewers (I was never an expert on those
-> expansion teams and who went where when how and why). Did
-> he ever have a Seattle connection at all, I wonder.
-> 
Nor does it ring a bell with me.

->  HN> And BOY do I have a
->  HN> story for  you about yesterday's ball game! It will have to wait till
->  HN> your next visit  however so remember to remind me!
-> 
-> Hoo, what a teaser that is. As this is a family echo, I bet
-> your adventure had something to do with busting patrons for
-> excessively adult behavior.
-> 
Correctamundo Sherlock, and an exciting time was had by all concerned! 
What made it even more outrageous was it was a Little League appreciation 
day" game so the stands were filled with 6-14 year olds!
-> =
-> 
->  HN> When someone reminds me I can "unfile" my memories as well 
(grin)...I
->  HN> just  don't seem to have a very good dewey decimal system in me 
noggin!
-> 
-> Lately I take notes, as:
-> 
-> ara jan 5 orange, legs prop something??? almond x raw fire belly
-> Spanish bitter after long alm f ba $15?
-> 
-> This translates to:
-> 
-> Ara Jan Armenian Brandy, 5 years old. On opening a
-> powerful odor of something not too savory, dry cleaning
-> fluid or the like. Golden orange color, clear, good
-> legs. Aroma of rubbing alcohol and almond extract, rather
-> like the cheapest imaginable blended whiskey. A small
-> sip and swirl brought out some vanilla-oakiness, but 
-> on the whole the taste is like raw alcohol. A big glug
-> caused real pain in the innards, which a good booze,
-> even overproof, won't do. A bit bitter (grape stems?)
-> in the long almondy finish. My uncle George used to
-> drink cheap Spanish brandy which was somewhat like this.
-> It cost $14.99 when I picked it up; not sure I would
-> buy it again.
-> 
Uhmmmm, I usually forgets and  takes no notes!

-> = =
-> 
->  HN> Of course, Chateauroux does not hold any special place in your
->  HN> memories, for  me it would be the main stop! (grin)
-> 
-> Someday we'll find a way to be on the train to Toulouse at
-> the same time, and you can rouse me at Chateauroux, and we
-> can see if the place lives up to your recollections.
-> 
I can well imagine that 40 + years of modernization have changed the town 
considerably...but France being what it is, I'm sure a lot will still be the
same 
as it was in 1620, 1930, 1960 (grin) 

-> 
-> Coeur a la Creme With Rhubarb Sauce
-> cat: dessert
-> servings: 6
-> Looks almost like a cheese cake! 
chat with you soon
