As my work was all cancelled today (grump), I sat there at my friend
Bill's house and watched TV ... including Rachael Ray, who's getting
more chipmunklike and annoying all the time, and Sandra Lee, who was
far less objectionable than I recall her being - perhaps because she
actually was making food that required some skill in the cooking.

Speaking of which, I have many, many miles on a semi-insolvent airline,
and my offer (to all echo friends) for upgrades still holds: you buy
the United ticket (checking with the agent to make sure there is
upgrade availability), and I will upgrade you with my miles, one way,
one upgrade per person, offer expires July 2009.

That's true of most endeavors. It would be far more satisfying,
I'm sure, to be able to tell people off whenever one wanted.
