  1. Hi Albert. I'm okay. My head aches but I'm a bit less stressed. Dad's heart valve replacement yesterday went well and he came home this afternoon. My uncle and cousins in Naples, FL survived the hurricane. By the time it was known the track had shifted it was too late to evacuate so they had to shelter in place. My uncle lost power but was able to go to my cousin's who has a generator. No damage to their homes at 5:45 pm. Haven't heard from the d-i-l in Tampa. Though I think things there aren't as bad as initially feared. Need to see how things go for mum. Expecting several inches of rain and potential storm surge there.
  2. Yeah 'cause the numbers didn't add up.
  3. You think if he wiggled his hips the pants might fall down ...
  4. Could you maybe build it along the Mason-Dixon line?
  5. But the sun never set on the British Empire.
  6. So you're saying he's an immigrant.
  7. Oh, so you went with alphabetical order.
  8. Stinky cheese ...
  9. Roughing it builds character and a willingness to test oneself ... yeah, glamping is more the imperial way.
  10. Dodger! Hi, it's good to hear from you. Hope things are well with you.
  11. You forgot Justin Bieber...
  12. They already have a monarch as head of state they don't need another.
  13. Pennsylvania is technically a commonwealth.
  14. Second from the right, fifth row down.
  15. Best start knitting some warm sweaters and scarves.
  16. Hmmm, Scottish folklore is full of the dangers of things that rise up from the sea and some of them can be inordinately enticing. Still, thanks B. I'll keep an eye the mailbox.
  17. Well yeah, but you said everything ... with you in that sort of mood what if she said no tamales for you? Even an imperial mind can be pushed to the edge and you've been known to be quick on the trigger, so ...
  18. But please, not your Mama ...
  19. That's a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face ...
  20. I think B was referring to a discussion on frog legs that predates Max's foray into the exotic.
  21. You meant writing, ... not some other thing, right? Enjoyable as that other thing might be.
  22. It's an excellent read and as I mentioned in the review I hope for more. I sometimes wonder if releasing so many new things in a relatively short time causes things to be overlooked. It's like wondering into a new candy store. Just when you think "Oh! I'll have that please." something else catches your eye and you're off in another direction. Just as your other Sidewinder Tales continue to generate reads and comments so will this. I know, instant recognition eases some of the trepidation when you share something new. Just know you've done very well with this story ... more please
  23. The day was pleasant despite a nasty migraine that flared several times. Fortunately, sales occur in odd "lumps", things are quiet then suddenly the shop is full of folks and all four of us are busy before the shop empties and all is quiet again. During those lulls I can sit and rest. I am thoroughly enjoying the Canadian thing far more comfortable than the hot muggy stuff that comes up from Texas and the Gulf.
