    Of course, Marg has her earl grey tea (I hope that was it) and there are grits for Akenta. I may be able to rustle up some pizza with and without extra anchovies and DocT, will supply coffee - or perhaps Rakkav has some CocaMocha. The Johnny Walker is on the fireplace mantle. Please excuse any spelling errors.

    You are both very welcome. Dry, the blackberry jam is from the bushes down the street - I made freezer jam last fall and still have a few containers left. JFri that really sounds idyllic! We’ve had that weather for several days now but I’m afraid it is about to end. Rain is on its way.

    Good Morning All.

    Dawn to answer your question from last night, yes I did get a chance to meet James Clavell, but only once. He and his family had a house in Horsehoe Bay. My cousin went to school with his two daughters and became such good friends with them that they would take her to Scotland with them when they went to their house there. My cousin is stlll good friends with the daughters, in fact the youngest daughter introduced my cousin to the man that would become my cousin’s husband.

    Good Morning, Tribe and all!

    I agree: As I said yesterday, mimes give me the heebie jeebies. I’m just glad they are still off-screen.

    Tabby, we are glad you went to school. If nothing else, it’s good training for when you get a job, and if you don’t show up, they don’t pay you. If you don’t show up often enough, they fire you–which is even worse a bummer than having to go to work when you don’t want to.

    Doesn’t being good sometimes make you feel lousy?

    But you feel lots better in the long run.

    Doc - I think there is definitely some characteristic that either one is born with or not. Both my husband & I are very comfortable with tools. Our oldest is comfortable with tools, although other than computers, he doesn’t care to do anything resembling work. Our youngest barely knows the difference between a Phillips and a flathead screwdriver. Seeing as our house was built by us, with them present majority of the time, it isn’t like they didn’t have exposure to tools.

    Well, since skills and gifts were discussed after I left:

    I too am a natural proofreader. It helps to have a touch–or more–of OCD.

    I am not particularly skilled at home maintenance or other things mechanical–hence entering the monastery to avoid many of those picayune problems. Oddly, when I got here, I was assigned to run a press (three, actually) because–I was more mechanical than most of the monks. Go figure.

    But I have one brother (and a sister) in IT–system analysists–one with a masters in Electrical Engineering, and a couple other sisters in engineering of various kinds–Industrial and Civil. (I always say, at least one of them is civil!) And a dad who grew up on a farm, and so was not allowed to take High School Shop class–in the 40s, you didn’t get easy grades like that–and who, in the course of 30 or so years completely rewired, replumbed, and rebuilt the interior walls of our family home. Including a switch from coal-fed gravity air heating to gas hot-water heat. Hence, I sometimes claim to have a degree as a Spiritual Engineer…

    Back in “the day”, lots of songs were misinterpreted with drug or sexual overtones. 25 or -6 to 4 was one that comes to mind for some reason. Others maybe had more cause: Puff, the Magic Dragon (marijuana) or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD)…

As for the rest of the industry, there are a few that actually showed up at the beginning of that window and flooring me.

    Good evening, Tribe! I found this in the Wichita paper today - I think this explains why I’m so tired of winter this year - more so than normal!

    “For the first time in its history, Wichita is about to go through a winter where the temperature never touched 60. That’s never happened, according to National Weather Service temperature records dating back to 1888. The agency’s ‘meteorological winter’ stretches from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28, and the thermometer has reached 60 at least once during that period for the past 122 years. But not this year.” “But most Wichita winters include warm spells that offer residents an interlude from the cold. It’s what makes the season more tolerable, longtime residents will tell you.”

    Carmy, she is still talking to him and it could be that he is having issues with living with her girlfriends dad. But he is very resourceful. One thing that I can say with certainty, is my wife raised two independent children. They can handle any situation that I have seen them put into. I just wish that I could.

    Cleo, look at how well you handle the painting duo, Dry and JFri. Not too many could handle those two.

    I had to turn the heater on, it’s getting chilly already. You know you’re in FL when you have the a/c on in the daytime and the heater on at night.

    If you’re too tired, you should go to sleep and rest up for tomorrow. It will be helpful to study with your friend.
