SR V: To boldly go where no room has gone before

Huzzah for geographically based prog delineations!

Pretty okay...busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest, but that's all right by me.   I'm also cooking sausages.

How are you?

Not bad - unfortunately, we have some carpenter bees that have made a nest under my bay window, so I have to stop at Home Depot on the way home and get some special insecticide to spray up in the nest.  Should be an interesting adventure....I cooked sausages last night but overcooked them a little bit - I was playing outside with my son when they were on the grill and I didn't give them the attention they needed, but oh well.

They taste fine burnt anyway.

Raff will be pleased to know that I'm making a bunch of Italian dishes this week- gnocchi, chicken parma rosa, shimp and garlic over pasta, etc.

Chicken parma rosa? I'm afraid I've never heard of that.... You know, here in the USA many so-called 'Italian' dishes are in fact Italian-American creations - which does NOT mean they're bad, on the contrary! Just that they're not what you would call authentic. Luckily, I am not a purist when it comes to the kitchen (or to music), and have been known to make stuff that the average Italian would consider blasphemy (like tortellini pasta salad, for instance - might make it tonight for dinner!)

mmm...sounds really good!

For a Mother's Day brunch my wife made a brown rice salad, with grape tomatoes, avacado, scallions, and a lemon vinaigrette...it was really excellent.

gross 

Has anyone seen the new pennies out now?  They have a log cabin on the back.

I probably have some but haven't noticed.  I'll look for them now though.

With no access to the collab zone I don't know the nitty-gritty of this affair, but as bad as it must have been (judging by that 'cancerous growth' comparison), trust me, you haven't seen anything yet, Raff. I belong to quite a few forums, and 'becoming worse and worse' is the typical life pattern for all of them... except one with a veritable army of moderators and a 'here lies dumbass' - style subforum displaying the banned for all to see (and there's lots of folks banned there).

Still, I don't think you should feel dispirited because of this. I used to, until I realised that I was witnessing a true miracle of medicine - lots and lots of people can actually function without a working brain   Comedy gold, Raff, stick around and laugh next time you those people at work.
