Sundays With Ingrid

Sunday morning. The note on the fridge read:

“Hi Ingrid! I’ve got an open house till four, Dad’s out with the Sandblasters, and Ty stayed over at Greg’s. Waffles in the freezer. Have a nice relaxing day. Plus homework. Love, Mom.”

Ingrid toasted waffles. Waffles, such a great invention, and all because of those little squares, like rice paddies, perfect for filling up with a melted butter and maple syrup combo. Another example of what made America great—the nation that turned plain old rice paddies into syrupy butter paddies. As for a suitable drink—how about hot cocoa?

Ingrid sat in the breakfast nook, gazing out at the backyard and the town woods beyond. A clear blue day, the treetops still; but not warm-looking. Cold didn’t stop the Sandblasters, a group of fanatical golfers at Dad’s club who’d sworn a blood oath or something to keep playing all year long. She’d been forced to take lessons one summer. The outfits, the lingo, the tedium: Ingrid had never laughed so hard in her life, actually rolling around on the practice green one day—her last at the club, as it turned out.

    Good morning Chet and everyone.

    Good morning, B. Stover. Ingrid sounds a lot like Chet when she's talking about waffles. I'm hungry.

    Good morning, B. Stover.

    Apparently I am out of practice because my plump paw made a typo and now a comment is being moderated. At least my avatar is the proper one. I just wanted to say that Ingrid sounds a lot like Chet when she's talking about waffles. And I'm hungry.

    Good morning, Bee, Chet and everyone.

    We have a wet dreary day here for our open house. Maybe Ingrid's mom should come over and run it. Carol Levin Hill is much nicer than Barb's agent/broker. She is the mean lady I wanted to nip at the office one time, but I might have already mentioned that.

    Ingrid also sounds like Chet when she talks about golf courses.

    FK: I can't really make out your avatar…too small. Ingrid does sound like Chet regarding the waffles. Who does she sound like regarding golf…heh!

    Abbie: I already know what ROTFLMAO means although I don't remember where I learned it.

    Rio: Regarding Last of the Dixie Heros–that was a difficult time for your friend so it's understandable.

    B&M: Good luck with your open house today.

    MagPie: I remember that story about you and the office! Whew, my brain is working.

    The trouble with reading about food, is I never have the correct food in the house to eat with the character. . It's a long trip to the grocery store, so waffles will have to wait.

    I am trying something I've never tried before . . . fry bread. Now I've had fry bread here in the states, yummers, but "A Touch of Frost" episode mentioned it. Turns out the English just fry up a piece of bread. So I'm going to butter both sides and give it a whirl. Maybe for lunch.

    Oh, Dan's blood pressure is equilizing out correctly. Zoë is taking the Pack (in two groups) to a new place to run/walk this morning. A summer camp that has beautiful fields. I did a photo session of YSAS there and called it the Irish shoot. Anyhoo, the first group is back and happy. Zoë can take the cell phone because it gets bars there. Doesn't here at the house, nor at the other place we run the dogs. So she's feeling safer.

    I predict a Poufy time down below during the World Series!! Now I have cheered for both teams, I'll have to choose one.

    Whoops. Forgot to spell check. "We apologize for the inconvenience."

    Laughing here, Sam!

  11. Barb & Maggie
    5:41 am on October 24th, 2010

    I know what you mean, Melanie, about the food. Every time Ingrid talks about the waffles with maple syrup and butter mixed together, we both drool.

    And Barb had fry bread a couple of times in northern WI. It was served like a sloppy joe, and was really good.

    Barb said she just heard on the news that Celine Dion just had her twon boys. We are happy for her, because she so wanted another baby. This was her 6th try with IV. Rio probably won't care.

  12. Melanie
    5:51 am on October 24th, 2010

    Okay MagPie, I know what a Sloppy Joe is . . . how does that fit in with the fry bread?

  13. B.Stover
    6:06 am on October 24th, 2010

    Poor Mollypop. I don't think you should nip her ankles Sam.

    Don't you fry bread when you make grilled cheese sandwiches?

  14. Mollypop
    6:17 am on October 24th, 2010

    That darn Ingrid is doing it again. In the first book she was toasting English Muffins and filling the nooks and crannies with butter and jam. So Mom had to run out and get some.

    Now we're running out to get waffles.

  15. Riö - The Evil
    6:26 am on October 24th, 2010

    Cheese!…Grilled Cheese sandwiches!….snort!…Now that’s something to talk about…snuffle!

    Melanie!…Do the Newfs have to wear their red vests when they are our running in the fields?…grunt!

  16. Melanie
    6:29 am on October 24th, 2010

    It's Sunday, no hunting!

    We are going to do their orange vests during the week. Now that Dan is home, Zoë can play more with the Pack.

    The second group found a real swimming hole. A raft and every thing!

    They had fun, and we discovered . .

    Wet Newfs, cool day, causes glasses to steam up!

  18. Melanie
    6:52 am on October 24th, 2010

    Yes, Riö, not only your card but several others. When he is less tired he's going to write a letter for me to put up.

    You guys mean a lot to him! Thanks.

    Oh boy! Today I leave on the first leg of my journey south. To Vancouver for a week. Only I might miss some World Series. Gasp! I"ve already decided to root for both teams. Texas, simply because they have never won and the Giants for old time's Candlestick stadium sake.

    Melanie: We've all grown very fond of Dan and your whole family. I'll soon get to read "the book" which everyone else has enjoyed by now. Anticipation is great.

    FattyKitty: Your avatar looks like your big handsome head with some neon green thing about to nip you.

    Still snowing lightly…

    Hi everyone, Wolfie here.

    It has been a long week. My boys had their wisdom teeth pulled on Monday. They were bony impacted and were in Great pain. The doctor prescribed Norco. Chad and Cody's bio mom was a drug addict and Used during her pregnancy, and the boys cannot handle any kind of narcotics. They have been mean and and nasty and Chad actually kicked out the windshield to Mom's Prius, and all the glass shops are closed until Monday. Some guy is coming to Mom's work tomorrow to replace it.

    Insurance only covers 50% of the extractions, so we're out about $2,000. The deductible for the window is $250.

    All in all, a bad week.

    Plus it looks like Cody may have an infection so we have to go back to the dentist tomorrow.

    Thank you everyone for your good wishes. It helps, it really does. You are awesome.

  21. Wolfie Wigglebutt
    7:24 am on October 24th, 2010

    However, on the positive side, the Giants are going to the World Series!! I hope that Mollie ABP isn't the only Giant's fan besides me! It could get a little lonely here on the blog!

    Go Giants!!!

    PS Mom just finished The Fan, and liked it but thought it was a little too dark.

    Grandma!…We are going to walk over to the nursing home and see Grandma…snort!…It’s a very long walk, I don’t know if I will survive it… grump!…But I do want to see Grandma ….snuff!

    Wolfie!…Hang in there pal…snort!…Things have got to get better at some point…wheeze!

    7:40 am on October 24th, 2010

    WWWWW: We knew you were having a bad week because we missed your voice during the Giant's pennant games. Prayers and good wishes being sent from the North. You have lots of support rooting for the Giant's and for your family. The Giant's are my sentimental favorite.

    It's great to hear from you Wolfie.

    Wolfie: So good to hear from you. I hope things get better. The Giants won! How exciting is that…

  26. Mollypop
    7:52 am on October 24th, 2010

    Yea! Wolfie's back. Mom has been talking and worrying about you all morning.

  27. AbbietheKitty
    7:59 am on October 24th, 2010

    Glad to hear from you WWW. We Kats were hoping things were going better for you.

    You are in our thoughts.

    8:09 am on October 24th, 2010

    This Kat and his Librarian are sending good vibes your way, Wolfie, for you, your Mom and your Boys. Your Mom sounds like a tower of strength.

    Dawson, that green thing next to me is a dog puppet. That dang Librarian thought it would be a playmate for me. He was actually quite annoying.

  29. Siber-H
    8:10 am on October 24th, 2010

    Wolfie!! Great to hear from you. We miss you and worry about you when we don't hear from you for a few days. You and your family are in our thoughts.

    If what I hear is true, dentists are having a difficult time in this recession. If they are, they don't act like it when it comes to their outrageous prices. Geeez

  30. Siber-H
    8:22 am on October 24th, 2010

    Waffles…my mom has frozen waffles in the freezer, the kind you pop in the toaster. What was she thinking!

    Fry Bread…both the Navajo and Pueblo Indians make a delish fry bread. They call it fry bread instead of fried bread. They make an Indian taco by putting taco ingredients on top of the fry bread…again, delish.

    Have a great trip Dawson! (I can't believe she is leaving the snow)

    Congratulations to Cody Ross for winning the MVP award!!!

    We tried to post this message awhile ago but it isn't showing up. Hope we don't post the same thing twice.

    Nelanie, to answer your question about fry bread – There are some food stands along the Wolf River in northern Wisconsin that are run by a Native American tribe that live in the area. They sell to people who are white water rafting the Wolf. They make fry bread, which is sort of like a flat bread that is fried crispy on a griddle, then filled with sloppy joe mixture. You eat it like a taco. They are incredibly good!

    We have to take off shortly, because we are not supposed to be here when the open house is going on. Be back after 3:30.

    Wolfie, sorry to hear about your troubles, but glad you are back.

    We will try to send positive energy your way!

  33. Barb & Maggie
    8:30 am on October 24th, 2010

    That is supposed to be Melanie, not Nelanie.

    8:32 am on October 24th, 2010

    Wölfie: Sorry for your boys' trouble. There are times I think that teenagers should just be shut in a closet until they are 20. And those are the ones that don't have the rough beginning your boys did.

    Fry Bread: Siber-H, I've had my BF's fry bread and it is delicious. I have to say that if I did the English style of Fry bread correctly, I would rather have a grilled cheese sandwich. It tasted like just like grilled cheese sandwich without the good part.

    So much for English cooking. On the last "A Touch of Frost" episode they were talking about chips. Then they pulled out a KFC box. Hmmm.

    Perhaps I should just try some bangers and mash.

    10:22 am on October 24th, 2010

    We have no idea who to root for in the World Series. Molly is off sulking. They’re coming here today so maybe a few nips in the ankles will get her out of it.

  36. Gus & BooBear
    9:31 am on October 24th, 2010

    Good to hear from you, Wolfie. Sorry about the trying week, but as someone already said, it has to get better…we hope sooner rather than later. Although not in the form of the Giants winning the WS…Go Rangers!!

    Kirby T., we were NOT happy that Iowa State beat Texas yesterday. UT is having a really bad, bad year and it is ever so frustrating. Done here, football rules so it gets pretty rival intense.

    Melanie, we are in the middle of the new Lee Child book, too. Hard to put down, but we are painting so Mom has too help. Then yesterday, we had surprise company from previous neighbors and Mom's sister (who stayed until this morning) so we were jumping between football and baseball all night. Mom's sister is from the Dallas area so she is super excited about the Rangers. She's like Rio and SiberH…knows all kinds of stats and stuff.

    Who was looking from old PA books? We got HARD RAIN from ebay. It was published in 1988. Haven't read it yet…but you should see his picture on the cover!! Has anyone read it yet?

  37. Gus & BooBear
    9:32 am on October 24th, 2010

    That was supposed to say "down here, football…" not "done here"

  38. Gus & BooBear

    Also, what does ROTFLMAO mean?

    Puss N’ Boots!… We are looking for older books by the Charming Mr. Abrahams….snort!….Ebay you say?…sniff!…Never been there before, we may have to give it a whirl and a twirl!…heh!… I’m exhausted. We just got back from our long long walk….grunt!… Here are a few photo’s of my park….wheeze!…No geese there today thank goodness!…cough!

    It's a very pretty park Rio.

    G&BB: ROTFLMAO: Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

    I'm reading The Moor. King describes an inedible breakfast on the sideboard at Baring-Gould's manor which includes "leathery eggs and flabby bacon." I love that description of bacon. (Sorry bacon lovers.)

  42. Gus & BooBear
    10:19 am on October 24th, 2010

    Gorgeous park, Rio!! What a nice place to go for a stroll.

  43. Riö - The Evil
    10:24 am on October 24th, 2010

    Wow!… All his older books are out there on Ebay….snort!…Thanks for the great tip of the day Puss N’ Boots!…heh!

    10:36 am on October 24th, 2010

    Melanie: I love bangers and mash….I'm getting hungry.

    10:36 am on October 24th, 2010

    From Dan!

    "I want to thank all of you who sent me cards, e-mails and postings on Chet’s blog during the five months I was in surgery and rehab. I’m home now regaining strength, playing with the dogs, and eating home cooked meals. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness. Dan Montague"

  46. Melanie
    10:37 am on October 24th, 2010

    Loved them when we went to England.

    Was leathery eggs and flabby bacon something they were proud of?

  47. Melanie
    10:41 am on October 24th, 2010

    YSAS saw Fisher Stevens riding a bike this morning. He's been in a great deal of films and on TV. I remember him best from "Short Circuit".

    YSAS then saw two people who went to acting school with him. One's in a play and they are going to each other's plays, and the other is now building sets for movies. He's thinking of hiring YSAS for a couple of days. Instead of acting he would be sheet rocking. Pays the rent!

  48. B.Stover
    11:17 am on October 24th, 2010

    Melanie: Mary Russell the main character and narrator is describing a breakfast that is inedible. She ends up having "coffee essence" (coffee that's been boiling for a while) and she puts "lovely yellow milk" in it–something they apparently couldn't ruin though I'm not too sure about the "yellow" part. It must be very creamy fresh milk. Later on she describes a Devon tea (with Devon cream…yum!) with "crumbly" scones and strawberry jam that is good.

  49. Siber-H
    11:17 am on October 24th, 2010

    Dan, We are just glad that you are back home and doing well.

    I would like to turn Rio's park into a dog park to end all dog parks.

    Flabby bacon would be fine with me.

  50. macy the min pin
    12:07 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Rio, I admire your cloak of invisibility in your park pictures.

    Wolfie, I have to laugh everytime I see your name, just picturing you back end wiggling away. I cannot even picture how a boy manages to kick out a window!

    Flabby bacon needs to work out.!

  51. Mollie (a black pood
    12:17 pm on October 24th, 2010

    After all the talk about food this morning I had to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. What are bangers & mash? Mashed potatoes maybe?

  52. Barb & Maggie
    12:35 pm on October 24th, 2010

    We are back. They had two "farmettes" on Open House today, ours and 1 about 2 miles away. The other one had a big 0, and we had 7! The broker was on the porch getting ready to leave at 3:20 when a van pulled up and a couple asked if they could still come in. The broker wasn't happy about it, but she wouldn't leave and let Barb show her own home, so she got stuck here till 4:15. We are very happy with that turn out!

  53. B.Stover
    1:02 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Mollie: Bangers are sausages and mash is mashed potatoes.

    B&M: That was a good turn out.

    Dan: It's really good to hear from you.

  54. Kirby T. Penworthy
    1:04 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Hey everybody! Mom and Dad went to a movie after church, and my boy went with them. Then they all went to the bookstore, which is next to the movie theater. So it's been a long day waiting for someone to turn on the computer for me!

    Anyway, I wanted to say a delayed YIPPEE for the Giants. But having said that, when the World Series starts I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick with the American League. Sorry all you Giants fans, but GO TEXAS!

    Wolfie: Sorry to hear about all the troubles this week. It never rains, it pours! I've got my paws crossed that things will start looking up soon!!!

    Dan: I'm glad you're feeling better. I can't believe it's been five months. It does seem like it's been going on for awhile, but five months? Wow! You've really been through the wringer — I'm glad you're finally coming out on the other side!!!

  55. B.Stover
    1:11 pm on October 24th, 2010

    When does the world series start and how long does it last?

  56. Gus & BooBear
    1:11 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Dan, we mentioned this to Melanie while you were still in rehab, but we loved your book! Such a cool way to get to know the pack and to learn of yours and Zoe's life love!

    Glad you're home and feeling better.

  57. Mollypop

    Dan, we knew you could do it buddy. Our Mom, Maggie, now 91, spent half a year in the hospital and in rehab during 2008 and was really glad to escape. She and Dad are still at home.

    We Kats and Staff have to stick with the american league also.

    Go Rangers and Manager Ron Washington, former Twin.

    BStover, why did I hear a hint of desperation in your question about when and how long about the series? Made me laugh.

    It starts Wednesday the 27th and can go for seven games. The first one to win 4 games wins. It is usually 2 games at one park, then a travel day, then two games at the other park, then a travel day…etc.

    I just realized that I will be at quilt camp until Sunday evening! I am going to miss the 2nd, 3rd and 4th games. I hope it lasts longer than four!

  61. Staff
    1:49 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Rio? Am I wrong about seven games for the series? I am going to check…

  62. Staff

    Nope, not wrong. Seven games if we are lucky….Sorry B.

  63. Riö - The Evil
    2:02 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Seven!…If need be!…snort!…It could go 1,2,3…sniff!…Believe me we are familiar with 1,2,3 against the Boston Red Sox…grump!hooowwl!

    2:24 pm on October 24th, 2010

    I'm glad Wolfie and Mollie (ABP) won't be alone in cheering for the Giants. Mollypop and maybe Sam will join them.

    I became very fond of some of the Giants while watching the playoffs, but I rooted for the Rangers in the American League all this season.

    I got a chuckle over Stover's question about the World Series.

    Lovely park, Rio. I would love to stroll through there. Right now I'm signing off to go rake my leaves.

    I'm with you about the series, B. Sigh.

  73. Melanie
    2:36 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Red Sox? Someone said? Straight 4 wins??

    The Patriots went from 23 to 6 in the last quarter to 23 to 20. They were lucky that San Diego got hit with a false start and had to back up their field goal kicker.

    Love the Park, Riö.

    Staff and B.Stover: don't worry I rarely watch the football. Dan had it on.

    Tomorrow: down the mountain to take out more blood and then over to get my new glasses. It's only been SIX weeks, but who's counting?

  74. Siber-H
    2:46 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Oh Good! The Patriots won. I think I am rooting for them this season. Dallas and Denver are in a sorry mess.

  75. Mollie (a black pood
    3:05 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Siber-H: And "sorry mess" does not begin to describe the S.F. 49ers this year. I don't know if I even want to watch them. I just remember what fun it was to watch Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young etc. when we won all those superbowls…

  76. B.Stover
    3:06 pm on October 24th, 2010

    I just watched the fourth episode of The Event. Very good. Also there is a new series on BBC America (also On Demand) titled Luther. It's good also.

    Sherlock starts tonight on PBS. (There are other things besides baseball.)

    Rio, That is a very pretty park where you took your walk.

  81. Riö - The Evil
    3:49 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Hey!… Sherlock! We are excited to watch that tonight!…snort!… What time is it on? Is it Masterpiece Theater?…crap!…If it is that means staying up late again “on a work night”…whatever that means…sniff!

  82. B.Stover
    3:52 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Sherlock is Masterpiece Mystery and it starts here at 9.

  83. B.Stover

    Isn't "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio" a line in Mrs. Robinson?

    Well darn. No one picked up my quote from 10:16am this morning.

    From So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    by Douglas Adams.

    It is "God's Final Message to His Creation".

    The title is the message left by the dolphins when they left Planet Earth.

    Night all!

    Isn't that a line from Simon & Garfunkel's song, too?

    Rio, the one and only time the Houston Astros made it to the series, we got swept in 4 games too. It was such a let down. Dad got to go to one of the in-town games and it was really exciting…except we, of course, lost. Sigh, maybe someday we'll get to go back. And tell your friend to be sure and take some pictures of the park with snow in the trees. Bet that is pretty too.

    Dawson and C.Harris, do you stay in Alaska for the winter? We heard alot of people live there 6 months then in the lower 48 the other 6. Dawson, we realize you are on your way south now, but didn't know if it was for the winter or just for vacation.

  91. Riö - The Evil
    4:44 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Puss N’ Boots!… I think Dawson is coming down South to meet up with her sisters who live up north…snort!…From us anyways. They are all gathering to make their Witches Brew for Thanksgiving….heh! …Seems a little early though. I wonder what is really up?…grunt!

  92. Riö - The Evil
    4:46 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Molly!…heh!snort!heh!…. You are starting to sound a lot like me if the Rockies had lost to the Yankees…grunt!…This is seriously fun times!..heh!

    Hounds!….We are watching the Hounds of Baskerville part 1 of the “old” Sherlock Holmes…snort!… Waiting for the “new” version to come on at 9:00…yeep!… I fear we may not make it through the end of the “new”…snuffle!…,It’s been a busy day for us here….sniff!

  97. Siber-H
    5:15 pm on October 24th, 2010

    ok, I'm to the rescue of what is going on in the Great North. Dawson is going to Vancouver for a week. I don't know why. Mom says it is none of my business. Dawson lives in Canada.

    C.Harris lives above the Arctic Circle in Alaska. She lives there year round, except for vacations to the lower 48. I am so jealous.

  98. Gus & BooBear
    5:20 pm on October 24th, 2010

    C.Harris is made of sterner stuff than we are, that's for sure. We thought we wanted to live up north until some of y'all starting describing your last winters. BRRRRRRRR. Wonder why we thought Dawson lived in Alaska? But still up north with cold and snow! SiberH, is Dawson going south to Vancouver or west to Vancouver?

  99. Riö - The Evil
    5:23 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Snuff!…Where Dawson goes no one can follow….sneeze!

  100. Siber-H
    5:25 pm on October 24th, 2010

    G&BB I am not sure where in Canada Dawson lives, but I think that Vancouver would be Southwest of where she actually lives. Dawson experiences more severe winters and longer darkness than Vancouver does. Dawson lives in the same time zone as me and Rio…mountain time.

  101. Siber-H
    5:26 pm on October 24th, 2010

    OMdog!! no no no I am not #100, am I?

    Rio, We are with you on this one. We can't figure out what we missed on Melanie's morning post. Please splain. Think it is about bedtime for us.

  103. B.Stover
    5:37 pm on October 24th, 2010

    Yes SH, you are number 100.

    The new Sherlock is very good.

  109. Riö - The Evil
    7:33 pm on October 24th, 2010

    NO!….That’s a big NO….heh!… We did stay up and we absolutely enjoyed the new Sherlock to pieces! ….heh!…The actor who plays him is a very unique looking fellow….sniff! … I don’t think I have ever seen him before….hmmmm!…Both of the actors are absolutely perfect for their parts in my opinion…snort!

    Yes we are all meeting for Thanksgiving, and we will cook up some wonderful food, as will our brother, the TurtleMan.

    However Dawson starts early and visits relatives and goes to meeting down south in Vancouver. Yes she lives waa-ay up north. She is 50 miles from the Yukon and 150 from the Arctic Circle. Or something like that. She might post from her hotel in Vancouver BC.

    I hope A.Catty got her leaves raked. Here in the country we just let the wind do it. I prefer the look of leaves on the grass myself. Unless they are on the trees.

    Lovely stuff! I travelled to England this summer and had some afternoon tea with scones , and it was absolutely delicious I thought I’d make my own last week. I might have deviated from the norm though – I found a bunch of random scone recipes here and made 6 different types! My friends were so happy when I brought them round for tea and scones. Lots of fun!

Prime Dip Sandwiches

Pin It Now!
I always walk by this small little sandwich shop on my way to Turtle Tower.  The lobster roll advertisement always peaks my interest.  Lobster roll in the Tenderloin?  How good could it be?  How fresh could it be?  My curiousity got the better of me this time around.

 Thinly sliced roasted prime rib with a squirt of creamy horseradish and mayo in a sweet French roll.  They dip the prime rib into au jus sauce before putting it into the roll.  I'm not a big french dip person, but I found that you still needed to dip the sandwich into the side of au jus because the meat is still a little dry.  The au jus is really flavorful so I didn't mind the dry meat too much.  Every sandwich comes with a choice of a side.  The mac and cheese is not bad.  A little clumpy, but still decent.

Chunks of lobster not just dipped, more like dunked in hot melted dill butter and then scooped up and sandwiched into a French roll.  Unlike the prime rib sandwich, I didn't feel the need to redip my sandwich into the side of melted butter.  The lobster did a pretty good job in soaking up a lot of the butter in the first dunking process.  I love butter, but the amount of butter in the lobster was a little overbearing for me.  It was a little hard to taste the sweetness of the lobster with all the butter oozing out of the meat.  The lobster meat wasn't as fresh as I've had in lobster rolls in the past.  Still nothing beats Ad Hoc's lobster roll...The creamed spinach side was pretty good.  It wasn't as creamy as normal creamed spinach, but still tasty.

memo fig 1In our group, we are interested in the characterisation of the molecular mechanisms involved in arsenic perception in plants. Arsenic contamination is responsible for the worst mass poisoning ever suffered by man, and is considered a silent threat to public health. Clean-up of arsenic-contaminated soils or arsenic entry into the food chain from crops irrigated with arsenic-contaminated water, of particular importance in rice, is therefore a priority concern for the World Health Organization (Mead, 2005. Environ Health Perspect, 113:A378). This chemical threat was particularly critical for the evolution of sessile organisms such as plants, which were forced to develop rapid tolerance responses when As(V) was present. We recently identified a QTL (quantitative trait locus) that accounts for the genetic variability for As(V) tolerance among Arabidopsis accessions worldwide. Molecular isolation and characterisation of this locus showed it encodes a plant arsenate reductase with potential applications in arsenic phytoremediation (Sanchez-Bermejo et al. Nat Comm, 2014; 5:4617). We also identified a transcriptional repressor that modulates expression of the arsenate transporter, thus identifying the molecular basis of an alternative strategy for plant adaptation to arsenic (Castrillo et al. Plant Cell 2013; 25:2944).

In collaboration with other groups, we contributed to the identification of a phosphate sensor (Puga et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2014; 111:14947) and participated in the production of a collection of transgenic plants that conditionally express more than 600 transcription factors (Coego et al. Plant J 2014; 77:944). The research lines currently in progress in our laboratory will allow us to understand the mechanisms that underlie arsenic perception, which will open up new possibilities for phytoremediation of arsenic-contaminated soils and waters.

logolife150In collaboration with Dr Carlos Alonso Blanco from the CNB, we also study the application of natural isolates of duckweed aquatic plants for water phytoremediation. In particular, our lab is currently involved in the project “Duckweed technology for improving nutrient management and resource efficiency in pig” ( funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Commission (Grant number LIFE15 ENV/ES/000382).

Andy's Data Blog: Random musing from a data nerd

“You can handle the truth?!?” Best practice in records requesting.
Styles vary dramatically. Maybe you’re the kind of person who “weezes the juice”. Maybe not.  Maybe you’re uptight like Judge Smails. Maybe not. Whatever the case, you’re the kind of person who needs to get things done and the CFPS state support staff can help!
Kate and I have been road trippin’ across the state for the last several months in an effort to visit at least one of our local partners each month. (If you’d like us to visit you, all you need to do is say so! We’re pretty relentless when an opportunity presents itself, however, so be prepared!) Throughout the course of our travels, we’ve learned a lot about each other’s preferences. For instance, my colleague, Kate, has an unusual affinity for the powdered scrambled eggs that each hotel we’ve stayed in conspicuously seems to share and serve. I, on the other hand, have developed an inappropriate relationship with the sometimes raw, sometimes crispy sausages these same hotels also all seem to share!  Spending all this time together, however, we’ve also developed some routines, like getting coffee from a local shop each morning (admittedly though, Kate gets some kind of weird tea/milk mix! Blech!) (Shout out to Solar Roasters in Pueblo!). We know these patterns and differences develop through experience. Sometimes they can be good, e.g., the powdered eggs - these are 100% real, apparently. Sometimes, however, they may not be so good, witness the undercooked breakfast sausage.  Just like these habits, your review process can develop its own patterns, some good and some bad.

Here are a few items to keep in mind when requesting records. Our statute 25-20.5-408(1a) specifically calls out our access to records from departments of human/social services. The statute indicates that “…the state review team and the local or regional review teams shall have access to all records and information in the possession of the department of human services and the county departments of social services that are relevant to the review of a child fatality, including records and information related to previous reports and investigations of suspected child abuse or neglect.” This means that you should be requesting these records from the county of residence and receiving reports prior to the meeting to help complete sections related to history of victimization and perpetration for the decedent, caregiver, or supervisors as circumstances of the case dictate. While it is useful for DHS to share this information during the meeting, best practice would be to request and receive these records prior to the meeting to have the most complete available information at your fingertips.

Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job. I'm working as a reporter covering Oakland and I host an arts segment on the radio where I get to interview amazing artists from around the Bay Area. Plus I'm publicizing my book  and building my speaking career!  You know what's funny? I thought this would all happen by the time I was 27-30.  Nope. That wasn't God's plan for me. I'm finally beginning to do the things I've wanted to do and I'm almost 40 years old. Some people reading this who are 40 will say 40 is still young. But some younger people reading may think 40 is nearly ancient. But I'm writing this post for those who like me, thought their career and personal dreams would come true much early in life. I'm here to tell you not to give up.  You know, death inspires life. A number of my relatives and friends have passed away, ranging in

Remembering 9/11 and the World's Oldest Person

Gertrude Baines, 115

The world oldest person died this morning right here in LA. Gertrude Baines was 115 years old. According to the AP she met with her doctor a few days ago. Her only complaints were arthritis pain and soggy bacon served at the nursing home. Baines liked watching "Jerry Springer Show" and eating ice cream. She voted for Barack Obama in November. Can you imagine what that must have meant to her? This woman witnessed the decades right after abolition, the rise of the KKK, Civil Rights Movement, Black Power Movement, Feminist Movement, etc. Yet, she lived long enough to vote for the first black U.S. president. Amazing. I've read her mind was still sharp. Maybe I need to start watching Jerry Springer. Read more of Getrude Baines' story from the AP here.

September 11, 2001

The ignorance and fierce debating going on over Pres. Obama's health care plan has made me think about 9/11. Our country changed dramatically eight years ago this day. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon brought us together. It reminded us that our powerful country wasn't invincible and we needed to strengthen our homeland security. We feared flying and riding trains and buses. Our threat levels were coded in the colors red, orange and yellow. There was another threat level color spoken among us-brown. Muslim Americans, to this day, are subject to racial profiling and discrimination because their faces reflect those of the hijackers and Osama Bin Laden. Then the war in Iraq, that was meant for retaliation, pushed us far apart. Some of us disagreed Iraq was right place to jump start the War on Terror. While some of us backed Pres. Bush and believed in his strategy. Here we are today, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continues. The right and left are still beefing. Hopefully today, we can put our differences aside and remember those who gave their lives voluntarily and involuntarily. Mothers, fathers, children, fire fighters, security guards, pilots, brothers, sisters, executives, husbands, wives, cashiers, police officers, etc died on 9/11. And many soldiers have given their lives since. Let's go back to that day when it wasn't about blue state or red state. Right or Left. Independent, Republican or Democrat. Let's go back to the day when we were all Americans. Remember?

Harvard Square…Vest

Body of the Harvard Square Cardigan

In the course of dealing with my One Project Paralysis following the completion of the Endpaper Mitts, I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t in the mood to knit anything challenging. No lace, no cables, no epic projects. I was flailing around for a project to knit next when a bunch of babies came to the rescue. Enter the Harvard Square Cardigan.

Harvard Square Cardigan The Harvard Square Cardigan, which you can see at the left, is from Knitting for Baby, by Melanie Falick and Kristin Nicholas. I will give this book a proper review some day, but I love it and have been eyeing the Harvard Square Cardigan pretty much since I bought it.

Eagle-eyed readers who have been with me for a while will recognize the yarn I’m using for the sweater as the same yarn I used for Fred the turtle. It’s been a quick and easy knit so far—heck, most of it is garter stitch—but it’s also curing me of my current lack of desire to work on a challenging knit. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately looking at lace and laceweight yarn lately (as if I need more yarn) and I think I will be casting on for one of these from Victorian Lace Today (which I will also review properly at some point) after I finish the sleeves on the cardigan.

A curved shawl, p. 72 Alpine knit scarf, p. 36
Myrtle leaf shawl, p. 142

And then I will probably treat myself to some of Sundara’s cherry blossom yarn.

    The cardigan is going to be so adorable! I love the colors you picked.
    As for the cherry blossom yarn, ooh la la! Gorgeous! I am especially smitten with the third lace pattern you posted.

  2. KathyMarie says:

    Okay, now I *have* to put that book on my wish list. And invent another birthday for myself or something.

    The vest stage of the cardigan looks great! The colors go really well together.

Nebát se a nekrást: Thomas Mazaryk

Thomas Mazaryk Statute -- University of Chicago (Bartholomew Photo)

Nebát se a nekrást -- do not fear and do not steal -- a good life motto for a hero.  And Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk will always be a hero in Czechoslovakia.

According to the Czechoslovakian legend, deep within a mountain the knights of Blanik sleep, waiting for a leader to summon them and deliver their people from oppressors. That leader came forth in November, 1918 when Thomas Maszryk, a blacksmith who made himself into a world-renowned professor of philosophy, convinced the Allied nations to make Czechoslovakia a sovereign state after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire at the end of World War I.

Thomas Mazaryk (Wikipedia Photo)

Masaryk was elected first president of the new nation in 1918 during a triumphal visit to the University of Chicago, where he had been a faculty member once before in 1902 and 1908.  The Czech Parliament re-elected to the presidency in 1920, 1927 and 1934.  His death in 1937 led Chicagoans of Slovakian descent to search for a way to honor the great hero.

Subscriptions were solicited and $50,000 was collected for a statue to stand on the University of Chicago campus.  The Director of Sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago, Albin Polasek, who was born in Moravia and who took his formal art training at the Frank Furness designed Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, was selected as the sculptor of the equestrian monument.

Albin Polasek (Wikipedia Photo)

Even though the bronze for the work had been purchased, the war effort during World War II delayed the completion of the work.  Finally, on September 14, 1949 The Chicago Tribune announced that the eight-ton statue was on its way to Chicago from New York City, where it had been cast.  The 18-foot high sculpture was disassembled and shipped in three sections.

(Bartholomew Photo)

Two days later the paper reported, "The big equestrian bronze statue to Thomas G. Masaryk, father and first president of Czechoslovakia, was taken back for repairs today to the foundry in Queens borough in which it was made, after one of the three sections fell from a truck bearing it to Chicago."

Tall statue . . . low bridge.  A chain snapped as the sculpture hit a girder as the truck crossed the Queensboro bridge over the East River, and the huge piece of bronze, including the bodies of both the horse and its rider, hit the deck.  According to The Tribune, "Lamar A. Gano, driver of the truck . . . was given a summons for failing to obtain a permit to transport the statue.  Manhattan bound traffic on the bridge was tied up between 5:30 and 6 p.m. by the mishap.

In today's age of round-the-clock journalism, can you imagine the coverage an overturned Knight of Blanik lying in the middle of the Queensboro bridge, with traffic tied up for miles, would receive?

Portions of the work had to be recast, but the statue finally arrived in Chicago -- by truck -- at the end of November, 1949.  It was mounted on a pedestal at the east end of Midway Plaisance with no fanfare, and It wasn't until 1955 that the monument dedicated on May 29.

(Bartholomew Photo)

More than 2,000 person attended the dedication.  Senator Roman Hruska, Republican senator from Iowa, was the principal speaker.  Senator Everett Dirksen and Mayor Richard J. Daley also contributed remarks.  Hruska said of Masaryk, "We honor him as the philosopher who became a statesman in spite of himself, as the father of a state who was also its simplest citizen, and as an unchallengeably firm democrat who believed in the rule of tolerance."

Static And Noise: End Of The Year Edition

Last post of the year; hope everyone has a wonderful and safe new year. Nothing terribly philosophical or earth-shattering here; no resolutions or year-end retrospectives (though vacationing with my wife and getting two dogs would be near the top of the list). Anyway, here is some random shit.

Football: I've tried to keep the pigskin talk to a minimum lately; it seemed like I was writing about it every other day or so there for a while. Things have kind of shaken up the way most people predicted. There are always news stories and things to watch, but this year seemed to be full of drama--with Ben Roethlisberger's suspension, Michael Vick's return and stratospheric playing abilities; Brett Favre's lackluster season and weinergate; and so on and so on. Still, aside from the disaster known as the Dallas Cowboys, the near-collapse of the Jets and the promising but ultimately disappointing results from Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and the Giants, and the chance that a sub-.500 team making it in the NFC West what was a very odd and parity-prone season ended up with a lot of familiar faces making the playoffs. The season has one more weekend and some of these teams might still squeak in, but it's anyone's game right now--I can't really see an odds-on favorite at this point.

History of Boardgames: I was having a discussion with one of my friends about board games, and I talked a little too long about how board games have developed over the years. "Modern" board games--to use a term that's probably more pretentious than I think--are a completely different genre of entertainment I believe many people would enjoy if they were exposed to it. But it is a difficult thing to get into. The barriers to entry are low, so there's plenty of junk out there along with the good stuff. And you need several willing partners to make it all worth it. Anyway, the board game-related posts I make tend to be the ones that get the most hits. In some ways I don't know how I feel about it, because I am by no means an expert, nor do I have a lot to say about it that is new or creative; I also don't want to turn readers away if I post too much about it. But for those that aren't particularly interested, I apologize if I post more than the normal amount of content about board games.

Civilization V: I posted about Civilization V a few months ago. I've been holding off talking too much about it because I wasn't sure what to thing. Like any long-lasting franchise, the key is to provide something familiar yet something new. Between Civilization IV and Civilization V, Firaxis created Civilization Revolutions, a stripped-down console-driven version of Civilization. Not very deep, but it got the point across and wasn't a bad, one-hour way to pass the time. Civ V was much closer to that. Plus, it had some odd balance issues; certain aspects of the game didn't scale properly, and many special abilities are near-worthless. I wasn't going to give up on the game, but it was clear that this was not their best effort. Thankfully, they release a fairly comprehensive patch about three weeks ago, and it makes the game much, much better. Most things scale properly and many new items and abilities were added, quite odd for a patch. There are still some things off--diplomacy is still a bit iffy, and certain buildings have massive cost/benefit issues--but it is a much improved game and I have no issues recommending it. They've also developed a new-ish business model, where new civilizations and maps are released piecemeal instead of as one big expansion, changing a few bucks for each new item. I don't know how I stand on this (I haven't bought any yet, though I probably will, eventually) but it could lead to good things. Or it could just lead to a new way to nickel and dime us.

What will the new year bring? I was going to create and organize a "Predictions for 2011" post, but it's a lot of work and I just ran out of time. However, I've noticed that I've been slacking on The Pledge lately, so you might get to see me talk about politics some more. I also have a rather depressing column rattling around in my head that will get posted in the cold, dark month of January once I get all my thoughts together. Plus candy! Happy New Year.

Silvie, Sasha, Aveline and I went for a little road trip to Tofino this weekend. It is one of the most western city in Canada and as you can image it is a beautiful place and also very good for surfers. We saw bears, beautiful beaches, huge trees, ate smoked Salmon and even met a start called Barry Pepper. Ok I didn’t know who he was, but Sasha knew him and it totally made her weekend. haha

Ok… I will stop the chit chat and upload those pictures.

Enjoy 🙂

Serious Sam: The First Encounter – 16th anniversary today

Today we are celebrating the beginning of Serious Sam glory, the release of first series in Sam’s universe, The First Encounter. We were young twenty-something guys that shared one mutual dream – to develop video games. Serious Sam: The First Encounter was our breakthrough title and, oh boy, it caused a commotion in the gaming community. Demo for the game became the most downloaded demo of the summer 2000. Croteam partnered up with the Gathering of Developers (Devolver Digital today) and they became our publishers for this and all future Sam’s titles.

Fast-forward 16 years later and we are in 2017., year of virtual reality. We love VR and we love experimenting with it and one of our newest experiments is Serious Sam VR: The First Encounter. It’s a full locomotion game for the brave ones with the possibility of teleportation for the entry-level VR players. Game is in Early Access on Steam and it’s set for the full release soon.

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 beta is live!

We’ve already announced this project in a blog post, so this is just a quick reminder that Serious Sam Fusion 2017 is now available (in beta). It’s a fresh build of Serious Sam games developed by Croteam. The best part? If you own a Serious Sam game listed below you’ll be getting a Serious Sam Fusion 2017 version of that game for FREE!

Serious Sam Fusion 2017 is also a central hub for existing (and upcoming) Serious Sam games that will enable seamless integration of new engine features, patches and upgrades.

Games available in Serious Sam Fusion 2017

  • Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter – now available!
  • Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter (coming soon)
  • Serious Sam 3: BFE (coming soon)
  • VR versions of all games will be a part of Serious Sam Fusion 2017, too!

Please keep in mind that this release of Serious Sam Fusion 2017 is currently in beta; you’ll experience extreme violence, inexplicable joy, some sadness, sometimes all at once, and, how shall we put it… eeerm, occasional bugs. Please use the official discussions page to let us know. Thank you!

What does it do?
Serious Sam Fusion 2017 will enable a lot of cool new features, like a common workshop and cross-game mods. All of the games can be started from one application, so you can jump between playing The First Encounter level to a Serious Sam 3 level and back without exiting the game. When listing game servers, servers playing TFE, TSE, SS3 – will all appear in the same list and you can vote map across games if you want. Oh, and VR games will be able to be played in multiplayer together with their flat counterparts! For a full list of new and upcoming features, please visit our Steam store page.

Serious Sam VR: The Last Hope new update brings whole new episode!

    Monday Night Raw Review from Pittsburgh for 3/14/2016

    Welcome to another edition of Monday Night Raw with it taking place in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, last week I didn’t get a chance to do a review because for some odd reason I didn’t record it. With WrestleMania being less than three weeks away, we’ll get to see how the WWE will sell us on the PPV, which I’m sold already because it’s WrestleMania. This past Saturday, the WWE had their WWE Network special, Roadblock which was pretty good. With so many rumors heading into this edition of Monday Night Raw, let’s see how things went.

Creators launches iPhone, iPod comic apps

Creators Syndicate is the second major syndicate to enter into the iPhone/iPod Touch app space. Creators has teamed up with iVerse Media to release four comic strip apps for the comic strips B.C., Dog eat Doug, Girls and Sports and Heathcliff.

iVerse already has over a hundred comic app collections in Apple’s App Store.

dear comic syndicates…please make these for blackberry users. We read comics too

#2 Tony Piro

I don’t have an iPhone, but can’t you just read comic like Dog Eat Doug for free with a webbrowser on the iPhone?

#3 Steve Lowtwait
@ 1:52 am

Yeah, you can read any strip published online through a browser on the iPhone. While navigating websites on the phone is pretty easy, it’s nowhere near as smooth and quick as using a proprietary app. That’s the advantage of releasing apps.

The syndicates are also charging for the apps which is a revenue stream versus the free way of reading through the browser. You pay for a slicker experience.

Classic Michael Jackson reigns supreme; High school tribute outshines, out-streams and out-charts hologram

Share Button

Portions of this week’s U.S. album and single charts have been revealed by a day ahead of being officially released, and there’s some surprising yet telling information to be derived from the data regarding what the public wants in relation to Michael Jackson.

The official American chart week was kicked off by an Estate-funded hologram-style performance of the King of Pop’s previously-unreleased ‘Dangerous’ sessions outtake “Slave to the Rhythm” constructed from top-secret, high-definition, multi-angle footage of a Michael Jackson impersonator prancing around in an attempted to execute Jackson’s movements, gestures and likeness. The only problem was that, to many hardcore MJ fans the hologram looked, moved and felt nothing like the artist they knew, loved and had hoped to see. The performance was staged at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards in promotion of the ‘XSCAPE’ album and was later uploaded to the official Michael Jackson VEVO account.

“Our other goal is to use new and innovative ways to create entertainment on a grand scale that allows the world to experience Michael’s magic,” said the Estate in one of four statements issued to fans this past week, adding: “After all, [this] is what we all want – for the rest of the world to see and love Michael the way that we all do. The efforts of the last few weeks, and especially, the performance on the Billboard Awards is working… The illusion has put Michael back in the forefront of the entertainment world and helped promote Xscape… No one will ever replace Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.  And certainly no one can dance like the greatest entertainer who ever lived – not even an illusion.”

As a result of the Billboard Awards hologram performance “Slave the the Rhythm” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #45 with 75% of its chart ranking credited to 3.9 million online streams in the U.S. – 2.2 million of which come from views of the the VEVO upload. This marks the 50th time a Michael Jackson song has charted on the prestigious Hot 100.

However, something far more impressive also happened this week in the world of Michael Jackson and the Billboard charts.

Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, which was originally released as a single in 1983 and topped the charts for seven weeks that year, has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at the astonishing position of #14!

Seventeen-year-old Pitman High student Brett Nichols busted out an impressive dance tribute to the King of Pop’s historic Motown 25 “Billie Jean” performance during his school’s talent show in Turlock, California recently. A video of the performance was uploaded to YouTube and went completely viral online. The video has since been downloaded and re-uploaded dozens of times, featured on the website homepage and Twitter accounts of some of the world’s biggest online publications, and has been viewed tens of millions of times around the globe.

The video, which features the original audio sampled from Jackson’s 1982 ‘Thriller’ album, was view so many times that it out-ranked the Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake duet “Love Never Felt So Good” (#16) on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with a total of 11.2 million streams in the United States alone, according to Nielsen BDS.

Now, both the “Slave to the Rhythm” hologram performance and the Brett Nichols “Billie Jean” performance were the work of Michael Jackson impersonators. However, one was misleadingly labelled as being “Michael Jackson” himself, complete with dance moves and costumes that Michael Jackson never executed or wore and topped with an instrumental track that the King of Pop never heard. The other featured a boy who in no way pretended in be Michael Jackson, yet executed all the classic dance moves Jackson himself made famous more than three decades ago, to the original audio track the King of Pop wrote, recorded and released.

The Estate of Michael Jackson, in one of their statements in defence of the hologram, said: “The best entertainment is that which evokes ‘suspended disbelief’; it’s about entertainment, not reality. When David Copperfield makes an airplane disappear, the illusion is no less compelling because it is not real.”

However, I tend to disagree. For me, the excitement, the wonder and the brilliance of Michael Jackson was all about the reality of it. The reality that a human being could seemingly execute a form of real-life, gravity-defying magic as he floated and glided around the stage under a single spotlight, all on his own, physically embodying the music while captivating and mesmerising his audience. That, for me, is the best kind of entertainment. It’s real. It’s authentic. It’s Michael Jackson.

Huffington Post journalist Charles Thomson hit the nail on the head with his commentary of the issue.

“The suggestion that Michael Jackson would somehow become ‘irrelevant’ or ‘forgotten’ if the Estate didn’t screen holograms of impersonators on awards shows has no basis in reality,” said Thomson. “There are artists who died decades ago and are still as famous and respected today as they were then, without holograms of impersonators, or old songs being tampered with by new producers. Jimi Hendrix. John Lennon. Marvin Gaye. All doing just fine. Michael has one of the greatest legacies and bodies of work in music history. He simply cannot and will not ever be forgotten – hologram or no hologram.”

The fact that a real-life dance tribute from a high school talent contest completely out-performed the high-tech projection of ‘Virtual Michael’ from a globally-broadcast awards show indicates, to me at least, that there is absolutely no need for fabricated or reimagined Michael Jackson material to be shoved down the throats of the public to generate interest in his artistry.

Day 3

This - the whole "no TV / computers / video games thing - is DEFINITELY harder on me than anybody else in the Den. Even Captain Adventure is making a faster adjustment to the New World Order than me.

Last night was hellish for him. Tonight was merely token whining, followed by vigorous playing with sisters...while I had to keep lecturing myself with many cheerleading phrases like "Eyes on the prize" and "bedtime starts at 8:00, how hard could it possibly be to get through the evening routine in, say, ten minutes, so I can flip on my laptop..."

And suddenly it's 10:00 and MY bedtime and did I ever get my laptop turned on?

Instead of blogging this morning on the train, I knitted. And did it again on the way home. And now the body of the little sweater is done and tomorrow, I sleeve.

But tonight, I need to go to bed. Computer-less, and without a comforting (or not) glance at my stocks, or a scan of my VERY over-enthusiastic spam-catcher (it has two settings: kill just about everything, or invite every Spambot we know to the party).

No news. No CSI:Anywhere.

I KNOW. It's barbaric.

But somehow, I suspect I will actually survive.
