Last night I passed up an invitation to party with a bunch
of wine connoisseurs at an apartment diagonally across the
street from one of Lady Gaga's, so you know the neighborhood
is nice, and the wine would most likely be as well. I got
6 hours of uninterrupted sleep and might in fact be able to
function most of today.

Hardly, though if there were, I wouldn't be too concerned or
upset. The committee I am committed to encourages young
musicians, the one I have always from the beginning found a
bit of a millstone funds young musical organizations and
seems to emphasize the young over the accomplished. The good
thing about splitting the duties is that the board of directors
now funds both committees at a level about equal to what the
one committee that had been charged with both duties got. The
bad thing is that the second committee as described seems bent
on squandering its appropriation.

My brain is beginning to adapt! I cannot now read with any
facility at any distance.

Doesn't do that for me most of the time, because the rainy
cities I frequent are usually windy ones as well; plus the
only really sturdy umbrella I ever had got lost or stolen
some decades ago.

 ML> Heh, heh, they'll have figured it out.
 NB> Yeah... she already has... ;)   So now she's expecting it.  :)

Hah, maybe I'll cross you all up and not do one.

I have had offers from various members here and have on a
few occasions taken you up on them. They have all been
pleasant stays, but why doesn't anyone live within walking
distance of a United hub?

Keep us posted.

There are those.

Milkshake
categories: beverage, New England
servings: 1

1 c milk, regular or chocolate

Shake milk in shaker with or without ice. Strain into
a 10 oz glass. Serve with a straw.

This is what you might get in Boston if you ordered
a milkshake back when I spent most of my time there.
If you want what the rest of the world thinks of as
a milkshake, you order a frappe (no accent on the end).
