I always forget how squeamish heteros can be.

I do like Bocote wood, but I'll pass.

In this case, you don't know how wise you are.

RIP Daveigh Chase, 'The Ring' and 'Lilo and Stitch' star, dead at 35(!)

For certain topics I apply the saying "Ignorance is bliss" 🫣

I made a fusion Pad Thai / Mapo Tofu thing yesterday with Tofu, ground turkey, and noodles. I need to work up to the recipe I recently acquired (didn't have any Doubanjiang -- Chili Bean Sauce) and maybe make it more heart healthy, but I'm getting there. It was delicious.

Audio Technica makes a $108,000 headphone amp. The selector switches are unlabeled, so there's a handy wedge-shaped guide that sits below the amp. That is certainly a design decision.

But you're European, it could be important!

I don't want to know what it's about....

Andrew and I went for less-prep, faster-cook pizza for dinner tonight. Still working on my launching, but getting a bit more reliable.

But that information could be valuable! 😝

Says the man who explained "docking" to us.

I can always count on you for more information than I ever wanted to know.

Because: Science! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3002398/ "Benjamin Franklin noted that “a few stems of asparagus eaten shall give our urine a disagreeable odor” (Franklin and Japikse 2003)," Also: "Because smelling the urine of others is an unfamiliar task, after Experiment 1, we decided to add an additional task to determine whether subjects were able to follow instructions and detect an unrelated but unusual odor added to urine"

Your urine is going to smell atrocious for a month!

Just a great day yesterday....went to hometown of Marblehead MA to help my mom with some work around the house, and just to spend some time. She's been having some health issues and I've also been helping with appointments and the like. It's good to get the time in with her. On a whim, I then called a dear family friend Judy who lives a couples streets away, and she was home. Got to spend a while with her as well, was great to catch up. She has had a tough time as well so I have been able to help her a bit too. It was then mid-to-late afternoon, but I hadn't had lunch. So on another whim I called my friend Melissa, she had re-connected with me when Karen passed; she lost her husband (suddenly) almost a year earlier. We've been very close since. She joined me for a late lunch/early dinner at a nice fish restaurant on the water in Salem MA. I speak a lot about "human connection" and how much it means to me. Yesterday was one of those great days, left me filled (heart and stomach) and happy!

I enjoyed his more recent work, I had not gotten to his early work in time. RIP African Piano by Abdullah Ibrahim (1973) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060254708925 Example: Sorry I am late to the game Abdullah, thanks for the tunes.

Always thought Dollar Brand was a way better stage name, but religious considerations etc. RIP.

I'm going to watch Tokyo Vice next.

. I didn't. Now I'll hunt it down.

Just started watching this, it is pretty good with good character development!
