Hi Michael,

 RH> Mine works fine in the real world--most of the time.  When I'm not
 RH> feeling good, all bets are off however.

 ML> I understand that completely. Just now I stood a full minute
 ML> in front of the check-in machine trying to figure out whether
 ML> to check a bag for my flight. I guessed wrong.

I've been doing pretty good--no rounds with bronchitis now since last
August (gee, almost a year!).  The foot is still a pain and will be for
at least a few more weeks.  The guy in the brace shop suggested that we
try to book seats with more leg room when we fly, especially if I'm
still using the Velcro Medusa.


 RH> I think lifeguards have tightened up since he was over here.

 ML> I read that Hap was in fact ranked - but knowing him, I'm
 ML> surprised he stood still long enough for them to make a
 ML> rating.

No, I think they rate you on the twists and turns etc that you make
while riding a wave.  Don't know how he would do against the Irons
brothers, Kelly Slater or some of the others now but I think Hap would
still have fun out there.


 ML>  A shark
 RH> bit a guy in the water off the North Shore (near Waimea Bay) the other
 RH> day; the water cleared out quick!

 ML> Dumb animals getting smarter again?

Animals looking for chow!  It's the 2 legged chow making dumber moves
that attract them.

 RH> I like smoked salmon (lox) but don't think I've had any other smoked
 RH> fish.

 ML> Had kippers the other day. Other than very salty, they
 ML> were fine (but Carol wouldn't kiss me until I'd brushed
 ML> my teeth twice).

Tell her that I kiss Steve with peanut butter on his breath without
making him brush his teeth first.  I will comment on smelling an
elephant or something else in the same line tho.


 ML>    Steve bought some canned smoked oysters (?, could have been
 RH> some other kind) once; I tried one and found it too strong for my

 ML> As Dave S and I have discussed, the Three Diamonds brand have
 ML> been the champions but are slipping in quality; Ocean Prince,
 ML> an off brand found at Big Lots and the like, have been a close
 ML> second and may soon take over.

I'm not sure what brand these were; it's been some years.  We do get
various kipper snacks, tinned sardines, etc for Steve's occaisional
lunch every few months.  He's been good about rinsing the tins and
putting them out in the recycle bin shortly after removing the contents.

 ML> Pancit Malabon - Noodle Dish from Malabon
 ML> cat: Philippine, main, pasta
 ML> servings: 4

 ML> 1/2 c vegetable or corn oil

I heard just a snippet of news that somebody in Florida wants to ban all
cooking oils.  Talk about going to an extreme...............!
