============================
Bonjour Senor Michael!

->  HN> Parents are notable for not listening to
->  HN> comments and recommendations from
->  HN> their offspring.
-> 
-> Mine would pretend to prize what I was saying and then almost
-> invariably do the opposite. Of course, kids do that kind of
-> thing to their parents as well, minus the prize part.
->
(grin) Mine never even pretended that
I ever said anything (or did, for that matter)
worth noting. 
 
->  HN> Too bad you can't put his share into
->  HN> a trust where he can't get at the lump.
-> 
-> That has been discussed and would involve having a court make
-> a decision that would be hurtful to him and might cause worse
-> damage than it prevented. Anyhow, that sort of suggestion
-> might hold for me as well.
->
Your call on that one! At least you have 
some level of self control...............
 
->  -> He's come close. Lucky for society there's the paralysis
->  -> issue - he can't get anything done, good or bad.
->  HN> Unfortunately that may not continue to
->  HN> be the status quo.
-> 
-> Luckily, the time for that was most likely when he started
-> taking this medication he's relying on, and that was several
-> years ago.
->
Hopefully he'll never go off the meds 
and do that ever so famous tailspin 
we get to read about in the news.
 
->  HN> Never did make it to a winery. Did however go to a
->  HN> wine bar where we did some tastings.
-> 
-> Pooh, but better than nothing.
->
Yep...barely!
 
->   I tested myself
->  HN> and proved beyond much doubt that I don't know
->  HN> much about wine....could not tell a pinot noir, from
->  HN> a petit syrah, from a Sangovese(?).
-> 
-> It's pretty easy to tell a Pinot Noir - you just have to have
-> more experience, or perhaps pay more attention.
->
I need more experience, about what
to pay attention to! 
 
->  I could however
->  HN> distinguish between a red and a white even
->  HN> with my eyes closed!!! (hint) the white is
->  HN> chilled!!! (grin)
-> 
-> It is said that many so-called experts can't tell red from
-> white when both are served at room temperature.
->
Well I'm not even a so called expert
and I might not be able to tell if the
temps were the same!
 
->  HN> Not very often I have to put peppers
->  HN> aside, and even in front of witnesses!!
-> 
-> Whoa, you should have saved one for me to try. And one
-> for Dirty Dave, and one for Jim, ... .
->
Don't know as they'd keep long 
enough! They did seem longer 
than standard jalapeno but had
the right flavor...but waaay more 
heat!!
 
->  HN> out all over me! If you're ever in Sebastapol,
->  HN> go to El Coronel on Gravenstein Hwy...get
->  HN> the Steak Ranchero...Whoosh it was hot!!
-> 
-> Will try to remember that.
->
Of course I could have had the 
single mutated pepper of the 
entire crop...but it's worth
the experiment next time
I go back!
 
->  HN> Currently the M's are 
->  HN> beating the BoSox in the second
->  HN> game of a double header
-> 
-> Double pooh. Those Sox are beginning to live up to the
-> nickname they had for many years in the mid-20th -
-> the Dead Sox.
->
Well, the Mariners are pretty much
sunk at this point. Our only hope is
to be a "spoiler"...I'd like to see us
roll over on our backs and do the 
"dead bug" dance for the sox when 
they come mid month...then whack
both texas and Oakland to close out
the season! 
 
Anne and I are going to the game
tonight, her first of the season...
my first of the season as a member
of the crowd!
chat with you soon!
