==========================
Hi Michael,

 RH> Enjoying Las Vegas?  We're planning to visit over Christmas but
 RH> staying with Rachel, David & kids.

 ML> I ended up adapting pretty well. I was hoping for it to get to 50C or
 ML> at least 120F so I could have experienced it, but I think 114 in
 ML> isolated hot spots was all we got (better for everyone except

It's over rated.  114 isn't bad if you've got lots to drink and an AC
handy.

 ML> thrill-seekers, and still a trial as about 10 degrees above normal). I
 ML> guess I could have found
 ML> someone to take me to Death Valley, but it was actually cooler there
 ML> (it's supposed to hit 120F there this week).

Without the humidity we have in NC that makes it feel over 100 when it's
only in the 90s.  We should start to cool down relatively soon--a few
more weeks. (G)

 RH> I'd say you have conquered at least one, if not more areas of life.
 RH> Music is a field in which I'll never be proficient but you were quite
 RH> involved with it for some years (before I met you on Fido).  Going to
 RH> run away to Tahiti like Paul Gaugan did?

 ML> The minor islands of the South Pacific are not exactly my thing - too
 ML> hot, humid, flat, and fishy, I suppose.

Flat and fishy I could deal with better than hot and humid.  I'd miss
mountains from time to time but I've lived in flat places before and
adapted.


 RH> So many places to consider.  You'll need to look into each one
 RH> carefully; some might not have an abundant supply of beef for you. (G)

 ML> Truth. Though the abattoirs in Vanuatu are said to be top-notch.

I think Glen has mentioned it from time to time. (G)


 ML> runs a music school in Haiti has offered to teach me to play the
 ML> trumpet, which might be cool, and I'd have to learn Ayitien. Mostly,
 RH> Would you be able to teach other instruments?

 ML> I'd be required to teach other instruments, methinks.

Are you that well rounded? I can't teach music but at least can read
both clefs.


 ML> though, I've done most of what I have wanted to and dreamed of doing.
 ML> Of course, if I rest on my laurels, I'll just die, which though not
 ML> unappealing is not my first choice either.
 RH> Not the best of choices.  You would miss too many picnics.

 ML> True dat.

(G)

 ML>       Title: Barbecued Lamb Shanks
 ML>  Categories: Lamb/muttom, Bbq, S/l
 ML>       Yield: 6 Servings

Got (!) to try this one.  We've done lamb shanks before in different
ways; this looks good.  I'm saving it, thanks.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
