Hi Michael,

 ML> For people like that (shudder), there's always the ketchup

 RH> GAG!  We've been buying organic ketchup for a while now, no HFCS to
 RH> deal with.  It's gotten that I don't like the taste of the main stream
 RH> brands and will avoid them as much as I can.  The HFCS taste comes out
 RH> too strong in them.

 ML> Care not I. There are two reasons for wanting lots and lots
 ML> of sauce: 1. you don't like the natural taste of what you're
 ML> tasting; or 2. you don't have really great taste buds to
 ML> begin with. In either case, ketchup should do the trip.
 ML> And keeping in mind that many BBQ sauces are just ketchup
 ML> with a few dashes of hot sauce and/or liquid smoke.

Sounds about par for the course.  I think most of the timea lot of folks
reach for the ketchup bottle because they're used to dumping it on
everything.  My folks didn't pull it out that often so I'll eat a lot of
stuff plain that a lot of folks dump ketchup on--fries for one. Altho,
salsa has over taken ketchup as the #1 condiment now.


 RH> I've seen enough performances to know that musicians get a good work
 RH> out.  The guy standing up, just waving a stick (G) is usually drenched
 RH> in sweat.

 ML> For a brief while, I had a thing with a young critter who referred
 ML> to herself as a "stick-waver," which I thought was charming, except
 ML> that it turned out that that was a false modesty. She liked older men:
 ML> I was 5 years older. She eventually married someone 44 years older.
 ML> Next month I'm going to play under her for the first time in three
 ML> point five decades. I'm older now!

Should be an interesting experience. (G)


 ML> Conductors either die young, their hearts broken, or extremely
 ML> old, their hearts and wills exercised to the consistency of iron.
 RH> That's why you never took a conducting job?

 ML> Arrogant as I can be in some situations, I have never been so
 ML> much so that I wanted others to do my bidding, even if I had
 ML> superior musical ability (which I do in a lot of situations).
 ML> Not only am I not a good soldier, I am not a good general.

I'm not that good musically.  I can wave a stick but it wouldn't
produce very good sounds from the orchestra.  That job I'll defer to you
guys.


 ML> I'm not diagnosed. Had asthma as a kid (not a really bad case of
 ML> it, though), but thought I'd outgrown that.
 RH> I don't think you ever really out grow it; usuall your lungs strenthen
 RH> to the point where you can handle the attacks better.  OTOH, and I'm
 RH> an example, it can get worse as you get older.

 ML> I've been worst when near various kinds of wildlife, especially
 ML> quatres, or smokers, or pollen, or dust, or, gee, that sort of
 ML> covers it all. Plus after having had a bunch of beer.


Beer doesn't bother me but critters and envronmental things do.  Also a
lot of commercial cleaning products and hot, humid days.


 ML> too lean. Only at Luling City Market did they do it right the first
 ML> time, and that's partly because I was standing over the pit man
 ML> when he sliced my (1 lb) order.
 RH> That's one way to get what you want.

 ML> Hey, you can't argue with success.

Not in this case.
