===========================
Hey Hey Michael!

->  -> Note to others. Although I might agree with Hap's
->  -> order of preference, I must add that there is no
->  -> similarity in aroma between Johnny Walker rubber tire
->  -> red lable and acetone nail polish.
->  HN> I don't know that I would say NO similarity...and
->  HN> the greatest similarity is in the taste not the smell (grin)
-> 
-> I was trying to find some acetone to taste (my recollection
-> is from the 1950s) but no sucess. Where have you tasted
-> acetone lately?
-> 
The last time I had some Johnnies! (grin)

->  -> Sad fact: spruce tips are being used by some avant-garde
->  -> cooks as a flavoring agent.
->  HN> Ok...that almost grosses me out!
-> 
-> Almost. It's not such a great leap of faith when you
-> consider what rosemary tastes like.
->
rosemary is not my favorite herb...
 
->  ->  HN> Autumn bears are a much better
->  ->  HN> taste...they get up in the hills 
->  ->  HN> and gorge on the huckleberries and
->  ->  HN> wild salmonberries and such. A
->  ->  HN> bit greasy but quite tasty IMO.
->  -> I was going to say, if you're berry lucky, bear tastes
->  -> better.
->  HN> Specially if it's battered and buttered!
-> 
-> Butchered, buttered, braised, beautiful.
->
Braised beats battered and buttered?
 
->  -> The Sox are still tied at the top, no thanks to you.
->  -> How on earth could you do this?
->  HN> Out of the 9 players on the field against
->  HN> the Sox...only the pitcher, catcher, and 
->  HN> rightfielder (Ichiro) were on the roster
->  HN> on starting day. We are not the same
->  HN> team that started the season.
-> 
-> And yet you are sinking deeper into the cellar with the new
-> team. Disheartening. There are a couple teams with a worse
-> record than you, though. Three, I just looked it up -
-> Baltimore, K.C., and Houston, traditional powerhouses all.
->
We are now officially "playing for draft choices". IMO.
We will be playing KC in Sept (at home) but it's followed 
by a three game series with the hated Yanks, so any gains
made against KC may evaporate very quickly..still I always
hope that we sweep the Yanks...if for no other reason than
to be a spoiler!
 
->  HN> Ahhhh baseball is a grand sport at every
->  HN> level!
-> 
-> Williamsport report
-> 
-> Historic Bowman Field (that's what they call it, with the word
-> Historic everywhere), is supposedly the second oldest minor-league
-> park in use, but what the oldest one is is up to some discussion.
->
Maybe that was his first name...Historic...
 
-> It was supposed to be nice out, clear and coolish, perfect for a
-> game, and the Crosscutters, Philadelphia's class A farm team,
-> were at home to play the Valley Cats, the Houston Astros affiliate
-> from up Troy. 
-------<SNIPPED>--------
 If you are mathematically inclined,
-> you can see that getting a big beer conveys an advantage of
-> 3/10 of a cent per ounce.
-> 
Looks like you had a good time and got to enjoy
a decent game as well!  (and no, I'm usually
not mathematically inclined)

->  HN> Anne is doing above average. The cumulative
->  HN> effects of the chemo are catching up a wee 
->  HN> bit and her blood numbers are starting to drop
->  HN> but I'm doing my best to keep her healthy and
->  HN> strong.
-> 
-> Very fine. How are they going to address the
-> leukopenia?
-> 
After every infusion, we go in the next
day and Anne gets an injection of "neulasta"
which is supposed to boost her white blood
cell production. Seems to be helping as her 
numbers are still holding pretty well.
chat with you soon!
