 NB>>> Most bad things I think I'll just figure out what to do when/if it
 NB>>> happens... recognizing of course that some things I may not be in
 NB>>> a position to do anything about, anyway...  Not sure how much is
 NB>>> fatalism or how much is simply laziness... ;)
 ML>> They say that seconds count, and as one's thinking gets hazier,
 ML>> it becomes more important to have figured out a plan in advance.
 NB>> I'll agree that that could be important in some instances.
 ML> At one point I was cautious enough to have trained myself to
 ML> hold my breath for maybe two minutes of full activity. Just tried
 ML> that now and barely got it up 45 seconds, so I'm out of practice.

That sort of thing one does have to keep doing to keep in practice...
general health and fitness plays into it, too... :)
 
 ML>> for example, I feel lucky to have taken some crucial parts of
 ML>> flight attendant training, including how to open the emergency
 ML>> door within a couple seconds and the proper way to evacuate by
 ML>> the inflated slide (which I've done 3 times, and once directly
 ML>> from the wing of a 737, all, thank goodness, under controlled
 ML>> circumstances before).
 NB>> Given your normal wanderings, that is a good thing to know... and
 NB>> something that would be helpful to those around you as well... :)
 ML> Lilli actually got to remove the exit door and throw it out, as she
 ML> was in the exit row window seat.

I suspect that's not something that someone that isn't to lift more than
15-20 pounds would be able to do...  :)  But it actually sounds almost
like a fun thing to be able to do...  ;)

 ML>> I'm going to go listen to it again sometime.
 NB>> I get regular listens to it... It seems to be a staple, both in the
 NB>> symphonic repertoire (for the evening concerts) and the regular
 NB>> playlist for WXXI...  :)
 ML> Went to a concert last night! in the snow! Jeu de Cartes, which was
 ML> sort of Rite ritualized and emasculated, but still an amazingly
 ML> entertaining piece. I hadn't heard it since maybe the '80s, so that
 ML> was a nice reacquaintance. Also on the program were the Elvira
 ML> concerto and Sibelius 5, which I hadn't listened to since the early
 ML> '70s (but have heard a few times as have been stuck in orchestras
 ML> performing the pieces) and which were less welcome. Rhode Island
 ML> Philharmonic, Larry Rachleff conducting, Joyce Yang soloist. She
 ML> has no humor, rushes the hard parts, tries to ham up the romantic
 ML> parts without success. Not a bad performance, just a quintessentially
 ML> Asian one.

Sounds like an enjoyable concert overall...  But I can appreciate the
difference between performing and being able to listen to music.. :)
Did you go with Rosemary...?

 NB>> I trust the afternoon flight went out as intended, and you made it
 NB>> to your destination properly...?  Sam & Harry's has the creamed
 NB>> spinach...? 
 ML> I've answered both questions in previous posts, but the
 ML> gist is, yes and no and yes and no.

Yes, I saw...  :)
 
 ML>> He does almost all the cooking - very careful, and almost
 ML>> always a very good job, as he's a retired engineer.
 NB>> Ah.  And I take it he enjoys the cooking...  :)
 ML> I think Steven enjoys it, but he's such a sad sack in general
 ML> that it's hard to tell.

And one doesn't risk offense by asking... ;)
 
 ML>> She on the other hand is a high-strung academic type, the one
 ML>> whose cooking if done right would be very, very good, and
 ML>> otherwise, horrid.
 NB>> So once in a while, she just has to do something, and hope that it
 NB>> comes out wonderfully...  :)
 ML> There's the oh, I left this in the oven and forgot it, but
 ML> it's probably okay phenomenon.

Ah.  That's the sort of abstraction that had Richard decide that the
frozen dinners would do just fine in the oven at a lower temp, so that
if he forgot all about it until much later, it would still be edible. ;)

 ML> Harking back to our previous discussion, a quick calculation
 ML> gives this recipe about a 500 S.U. rating overall -
 ML> Phall the hottest curry of all
 ML> Categories: Indianish, main
 ML> Pat Chapman, Curry Club via food.com (a Scripps product)

So, is that an official estimation of hottest, or just the
recipe-maker's...?  It didn't look all that hot to me... although the
chilies probably would notch it up some..  :)
