Hi Hap,

-> Got that down! This morning, knowing I wanted to do curry for supper &
-> that we were going to visit friends (She's laid up from hip surgey.) in
-> the afternoon, I got going on it. Cooked the beef & onion mix, then
-> added the potatoes & cooked them until just short of tender. All I had
-> to do when we got home was reheat & thicken it, reheat some rice and
-> heat a can of peas & paneer cheese. Got that on close out at Lowe's last
-> week; going there tomorrow & see if more are available. Steve tried out
-> the tortilla press we got a while ago--tortillas were somewhat on the
-> thick side but made a good substitute for naan.

 HN> Sounds good..our favorite Indian
 HN> place just closed up (replaced by
 HN> a 7-11) so we have not been looking
 HN> for another one yet.

Sigh! There's at least one good one in Raleigh if you want to come
visit. (G) Got 4 more cans (all that were left on the close out rack) of
the peas & cheese on Saturday. Should last us until we move on at the
end of the year.

-> I've also got my sewing room mostly all cleaned up and stowed; now I can
-> start on some long awaited projects that had been put off for various
-> reasons. I'll resume work with Santa this spring but in the meantime,
-> hope to have a lot of my back projects finished off.  My classes resume
-> January 26; Steve's do on the 23rd.

 HN> Hopefully you'll get a bit of
 HN> em done before classes take back up!

Got some jeans fixed for Stevee today. The back pockets were tearing out
but they were in OK shape otherwise. Tomorrow I'll finish the
combination birthday/anniversary/Christmas gift (an apron to wear when
he cleans the smoker) I started the day of the earthquake (August 23).
After that, some clothes for Sarah & Audrey, revision of a quilt (making
it larger to fit a queen bed), etc, etc, etc.  Get these done before I
start the work for Santa again. Freezer is full of easy fix meals so I
can go to work, study, etc.

->  HN> yet to go with the radiation. Took her
->  HN> out to dinner last night as she was
->  HN> very hungry and I had been too busy
->  HN> myself all day to have anything prepped.

-> Probably felt good for both of you to be out on a date. (G)

 HN> Felt very good...nice to not be
 HN> worrying so much about her immune
 HN> system!

That probably felt really good! Has all the chemo changed Anne's tastes
in food any?

-> Do they have the cash or will they have to trade off a big salaried

 HN> Anyone who gets Fielder will be strapped
 HN> for cash afterwards...rumor are 275 mil for
 HN> 10 years is what he's wanting...that's a
 HN> LOT of money to put in one basket, and for

Money we don't have, don't think we ever will.

 HN> a LOooong time in baseball! We did trade
 HN> off Michael Pineda one of our rookies from
 HN> last year..to the Yankees (curse em!!). We got
 HN> have lots of good arms in the system..I just wish
 HN> it had NOT been this particular arm...I really
 HN> liked Pineda and he was a really nice kid who
 HN> smiled a lot and really loved to visit with
 HN> other folks...I had a nice chat with him one

Hurts to lose players you've gotten to know on a more personal level,
doesn't it? One that is good with the fans as well as playing good ball
probably hurts worse.

->  HN> the future...but they seldom (well ok,
->  HN> NEVER) ask for my input!

-> Do you think they would honestly consider your opinion? If you had some
-> weight behind it, as in successfully predicting who would do well on the

 HN> Oddly enough Jack Z our GM knows my name and
 HN> knows me by sight...as does the President
 HN> of the ballclub and even several of the
 HN> players know who I am. But no, I don't think
 HN> they'd ask for my advice, though I think
 HN> it's as good and valid as some of the
 HN> advice they DO listen to (grin). I do
 HN> get the chance to talk to a whole lot
 HN> more fans than THEY do as well!

Should think they would have a representative of the fan's point of view
on those boards...........................................
