======================
Greetings O Retired One!!

->  HN> Nope, I let Amanda order from her
->  HN> favorites and we had a nice, albeit small
->  HN> selection of sushi's. Not sure what the bill
->  HN> came to as Amanda picked it up, but I'd be
->  HN> surprised if it came to more than $30 tip 
->  HN> included.
-> 
-> A little snack then! It's difficult for me to keep
-> that budget for myself alone. I'm eating less sushi
-> these days.
-> 
It was barely more than a snack, and 
we had been "grazing" at several different
locations all day. I'm glad though, didn't want
to stick her with a $90+ tab! I don't get to eat
sushi often so it's always a treat when I do!

->  -> Warm or cold? Warm tends to tipsify you a bit more,
->  -> as the alcohol gets into your blood stream quicker.
->  HN> Warm, which is how I prefer sake.
-> 
-> Of course you live up in the northwet. It's exceeding
-> hot here - at the airport the record was smashed by
-> 4 degrees yesterday, and under these circumstances I'd
-> no sooner drink warm sake as warm beer. I generally
-> prefer cool sake if it's any good; otherwise ice cold
-> in summer and warm in winter. Yesterday: bottle of white
-> wine, two beers, a quart of Silk, a Coke, four glasses
-> of water, and some iced coffee (very weak but not decaf!),
-> all within a few hours. My Lasix dose was doubled as of
-> July 1, so that's doing something too.
->
It's pretty roasty up here right now as well!
Yesterday it hit 96F and humid...oi was I miserable!
Happily I had the day off from the ballpark (first
game of a 4 game series with the Yanks) so I was
able to stay home and try to keep cool. The day
before, I was Team Captain and ran around so 
much I got overheated and had to sit myself
down in an AC'd room for an inning! Today is 
going to be hot, but I'm hoping not quite AS 
hot! I'm back at the ballpark until the series
is over (Sunday) and I'll be captain hap on the
final game against the Yanks...oh boy is THAT 
fun!! (NOT)
 
->  HN> I like sharp cheddar...mozz is not my 
->  HN> favorite cheese to start with...only 
->  HN> ranking slightly ahead of provalone.
-> 
-> I don't mind mozz, but the cost-benefit ratio is dreadful,
-> owing to its being uncured and having full lactose.
->
I find it rather lacking in distinction
or much taste.
 
->  HN> Amanda and I enjoyed several
->  HN> different dining venues. Engine
->  HN> house #9, Tama Sushi, The
->  HN> Swiss Tavern, and several 
->  HN> breakfast places.
-> 
-> Swiss Tavern?
->
Right across the street from my
watercolor studio...not bad grub
lots of beers, and nearby (grin)
 
->  HN> How did your retirement concert
->  HN> go? Wish we could have been there,
->  HN> don't think I've heard any of the selections
->  HN> you chose...would have been fun!
-> 
-> We put out 30 chairs on Saturday, and barely half of them
-> were filled. I played okay and am told sounded good. On
-> Sunday, they expected 40K, and it is said that the estimate
-> was exceeded by 10K. I played somewhat less well but was
-> told that I set the town on fire [joke].
->
 Did anyone Video your final performance? or 
the Retirement concert? Would be fun to see 
a bit of it on YouTube!

I'm drinking a chilled white wine that we 
got for Amanda's visit..and never drank
not bad...not my favorite, but it IS chilled!
chat with you soon!
