Does anyone remember the name of that NES Double Dragon clone game where you stopped into Japanese restaurants to eat things sometimes? You could also use weapons like a stick, a lead pipe, and brass knuckles.

We didn't have running water from 9:30 until 4:30, but all the food for the seder was a success. I made toffee matzah. We didn't have a candy thermometer, but it was no problem, as I was willing to sacrifice the tip of my index finger for the cause. (I got a boil! It's one of the plagues!) I had totally forgotten the whole "drop in a glass of water ( Read more... )

Guess who's flight got delayed until 8:00PM? MINE!!!!

It's so EXCITING that I'm going to be in two hours LATE and the night before the big seder.

EXCITING! REALLY!

In Denver. Flight possibly delayed. Made the mistake of driving down on the Rockie's opening day. I like Wyoming better when it is obscured by fog. Lusk is still filthy.

What happened to Erica Hill? Before she was all techy and cool and now she is shocking network news.

I don't even want to know what happened to Sumi Das.

I am feeling better for a few reasons.

1) There are these chili covered mango pieces at work and they are wonderful.

I almost died today. A shelf gave way under the weight of many bottles and I was a few inches away from being bludgeoned to death by 32 ounces of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar.

We needed a name for this special blend. I suggested "Fierce," since this other trail mix we had was "X-Treme". My suggestion won.

Tyra would be so proud.
