Marinated olives and tagliatelle at Three Floyds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just had an excellent meal at a local Middle Eastern restaurant named Aladdin Pita. To start off they bring Pita and four different accoutrements - Baba Ghannoug, Hummus, Turkish Salad (onion, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, tomato puree with salt pepper and cumin) and Arabian salad (cucumber, tomatoes, parsley and fresh mint dressed with lemon juice and olive oil). I could have stopped there. The salads were so fresh and flavorful and the hummus was the best I've ever had. We then had a plate of Falafel and tahini sauce. For main course I had Fasulia which is a green bean stew with lamb and basmati rice on the side. It was in a wonderfully spiced tomato sause with two large lamb shanks so tender the meat just pulled away from the bone with a fork. Deb had Chicken Biryani, basmati rice flavored with Indian spices, chicken and garnished with nuts. Both entres were excellent and more than we could finish. I ended with a Turkish coffee, strong but smooth and served in the ibrik it was brewed in. The price was amazingly good even after we added an order of the Hummus and Turkish salad plus Pita to take with us. This place has been there for years but it was the first time we had gone. It won't take me long to go back, that's for sure!

I had not tried Tapatalk before but when I saw the prompt on first view of the site I d/l'd it and have used it a few times. Looks like it will be good for using during work hours for me - quick views and such. But I agree about the missing Search functionality. I hope they add it.

Took my 90 year old mom in for knee replacement surgery. All went well and she is recovering, beginning rehab therapy tomorrow. Glad I'm not in your shoes Al regarding kids/decisions. Wishing you wisdom. Mike

Let me know when you'll be in my neck of the woods. We can do that.

This live gig is sounding quite good. It's a Concert Live recording that was sold right after the show apparently. I didn't even know they were playing again. The CD's (3 and an extras disc) arrived from England today.

Live from O2 Academy, Leeds on 12/16/2009. They will be playing at Coachella this year as well.

A Mullard 12AU7 for the EF5. But so far I prefer the RCA clear top it came with.

Thanks all. Just had an excellent meal at a local Italian place. And though the temptation was there to shout "Feck! Arse! Girls!" I scaled it back to only "That would be an Ecumenical matter." And my advice to everyone after surviving 52 years on the planet? Don't get older. Mike

I've been there too. That's why I get air conditioning in my convertibles. Most people find it hard to believe it can be too hot for a convertible.

30 degrees out and sunny. Heater full blast and top down on the Miata. My goal is top down at least once each month all year. Ears a little cold but not bad at all. Big grin.

Very nice. Me:

Happy Birthday Luis!!!

I get his Windows newsletter via email at work just for the humor. Usually it is 60% about where he and his pathetic family are vacationing this month. I damn near pissed myself the time he wrote about his kid getting his head stuck in a turnstyle somewhere.... Douche Nozzle. But as mentioned above, can we at least wait until we see if Apple is even releasing a tablet before we claim other products to be superior?

Released 30 years ago yesterday in the US.

Steamed Manilla clams with chorizo, shallots and smoked hot paprika.

Mike approves. Me:
