 ML>> Didn't happen. We're supposed to get < 1" this weekend and
 ML>> another < 1" next weekend (after I am gone, so in any case
 ML>> I won't be present at the historic occasion), bringing the
 ML>> total to tantalizingly close to the record.
 NB>> And instead, you got what was it, 3 inches more over the weekend...? 
 NB>> And you WERE there to be present for the historic occasion...  :)  I
 NB>> heard it on the news...  :)
 ML> Out where I was there was just a dusting, enough to say that
 ML> I'd seen the record-setting storm (but not really). Off along
 ML> the coast, where they do the measurements, yeah, substantial
 ML> accumulation.

Well, you were there, and you saw the edge of the storm that accumulated
enough at the measuring spot to put them over the top... I heard rumors
that this weekend they were due to get more... 

 ML>> As for my brother, I have no idea, as
 ML>> he didn't offer any feedback, and the e-mail has been
 ML>> blessedly (or ominously?) silent.
 NB>> Maybe he'll give some feedback next time you see him in MD...
 ML> We have had a couple conversations, and in an aside in
 ML> the most recent one, he said, oh, by the way, it was a
 ML> good concert. In a pro forma sort of way I inquired a
 ML> little further, but nothing was forthcoming. 

Maybe, in his own way, he's a little awed by you...?  At least he seems
not to count it a waste of his time..  :)
 
 ML>> Well, I did come close enough to breaking an elbow.
 NB>> You did indeed... and reinforced my inclination to avoid the saying.
 ML> There's one place that remains quite tender to the
 ML> touch. I'll give it a couple more months to see if
 ML> it'll fix itself before getting it X-rayed. Maybe
 ML> something got cracked after all.

As I wondered out loud in a recent message... Probably wouldn't hurt
to have it xrayed sooner than later... If it's going to fix itself,
the xray won't hurt that... ;)

 ML>> Not to say she's any kind of dummy - she has a BA and I
 ML>> think an MBA from Cornell. I just got invited to her wedding.
 NB>> So you are held in high regard...
 ML> High enough, I suppose. But it might have been the
 ML> mom and stepdad who influenced the decision. If a
 ML> ceremony is of sufficient size, there's room for
 ML> "friends of the family" as well as of the principals.
 ML> I was semi-surprised to have been invited and would
 ML> not at all have been bent out of shape had I not.

Perhaps you are thought of as being almost one of the family.  But it
might be the parental influence as well... ;)

 ML> The other sister, well, she's got a steady boyfriend but
 ML> isn't much thinking about marriage; if she were, I'd
 ML> like to be part of that, as she and I have had much
 ML> more frequent (and sometimes hilarious) encounters.

If/when the time comes, you may well be invited there as well. :)

 ML> Sara and I have been polite acquaintances mostly,
 ML> and her husband to be I've met only a few times,
 ML> though he and I have had a decent conversation or two.

Then he wouldn't be upset by your being there, anyway... :)
 
 NB>> Sigh.  A case in which bacon didn't improve things... ;)
 ML>> I always wondered about bacon-wrapped filet. The flavor of the
 ML>> meat is rather weak to begin with, and having it obliterated,
 ML>> well you might as well spend 1/8 as much and eat ham.
 NB>> It's the prestige thing, I suppose... ;)  Looks fancy, who thinks
 NB>> about what it does to the taste...?
 ML> It's about people who are afraid to chew, I figure.

Perhaps.  :)

 ML> I sort of wonder about this dish - mostly, "what kind of
 ML> sheet is this, anyway?"
 ML> Title: The Sheet - la Sabana
 ML> Categories: Mexican, Beef

Looks like it calls for turning the beef into a pretty thin sheet... as
it warns about it breaking when turning on the griddle... but why, I
haven't a clue...  :)
