Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> It's all in what one expects to be the case... especially with
 NB> school  NB>> calendars...  ;)

 RH> Yes, and the county school board is having issues over that now.  The
 RH> election last fall put in 4 (of 9) who wanted major change, along with
 RH> one who was not up for re-election. They're finding it not as easy to
 RH> work out as they'd thought it would be.

 NB> It almost never is.  Real Life has a way of bringing rosy promises
 NB> down to earth... reality sets in...

As those folks are finding out now.  More fall out yesterday; the school
superintendant for the county resigned.


 RH> I am doing better; it was bronchitis, verging on, but not quite, going
 RH> into pneumonia.  A strong antibiotic, a steroid burst, pushing
 RH> liquids, rest and time have pretty well knocked it out.  I'm glad I had
 RH> enough of a stock of meals in the freezer that I didn't have to cook.
 RH> The soups and things Steve got were good for when I didn't really want
 RH> to, but had to eat something.

 NB> I'm glad you are doing better... now you'll be able to get back to
 NB> cooking (and eating, for that matter...)  :)  Glad also that it was

I'm still doing easy cooking--reheat left overs in the microwave type
stuff.  Hopefully by the end of the week end I'll be back to cooking for
real again. Steve said he'd help with the bread making on Saturday.


 NB> caught before it went into full-blown pneumonia... that's no fun at
 NB> all...

Having had it a number of times, I agree.  Dad has it now; we're hoping
he can shake it fast.


 RH> it before or since.  I was raised with maple syrup as the staple (no
 RH> Aunt Jemimah or Mrs Butterworth); it's one of the things we use as
 RH> well.  We know we're not getting any HFCS or other stuff with pure
 RH> maple syrup.

 NB> I think that we usually had a homemade syrup if it wasn't honey.  We
 NB> had molasses in the house, too...  Maybe the fake "maple" syrups if
 NB> they
 NB> were on a deep enough sale... but I don't really remember them being
 NB> on the table either.  I usually have real maple syrup in the house
 NB> now.


I was raised in maple syrup country--made it easy for my folks to get
it.  Probably cheaper than the other stuff too, buying it by the gallon,
in the long run.

 NB>  NB>>> ... Apparently, you aren't supposed to chug Scotch.
 NB>  RH>> Gag!
 NB>  NB>> Yup.  (G)   (I loved the tagline, though... [g])
 RH> Gave me a chuckle so it wasn't all that bad.

 NB> I snagged it with a chuckle, as I'm so NOT a chugger of anything,
 NB> especially not Scotch, of which I am an inveterate sipper.  I prefer
 NB> to enjoy it... ;)

Diet Coke or sweet tea, please. (G)
