====================================================================
Merry Christmas Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> What I like about Pandora is that you
-> ->  HN> can tailor make your own 'radio stations'
-> 
-> -> I don't know if he's looked into it or not, might be something to
-> -> consider.
-> 
->  HN> It's my favorite price...free!
-> 
-> That's a plus.
->
Always!
 
-> ->  HN> I have a station strictly for Sitar music
-> ->  HN> jazz station, a classical station, a
-> ->  HN> Christmas music station, and I even
-> ->  HN> have a Dave Brubeck station.
-> 
-> Now, the late Dave Brubeck.
->
Sadly yes, but he'll never die
as long as his music lives!
 
-> -> Rather ecclectic array there, but I don't know what I'd pick.
Probably
-> -> something equally mixed. Tonight's Final Jeopardy clue was looking
for
-> -> Bob Dylan as the question but non of the young folks knew it. I knew 
it
-> -> even before Alex finished reading the answer.
-> 
->  HN> Even more ecclectic than you'd imagine...I
->  HN> have about 18 different stations that I switch
->  HN> between depending on my mood.
-> 
-> Bluegrass? Some years ago I put a Smokey Mountain Christmas CD into our
-> car player--the girls groaned but Steve and I enjoyed it. The girls
-> learned to appreciate classical music via PDQ Bach.
->
True bluegrass I like, junked up stuff I
don't care for as much.  
-> 
-> -> -> We had Mannheim Steamroller on the other night. They were in
Durham
-> 
-> ->  HN> We have most of their CD's and even a
-> ->  HN> couple of videos.
-> 
-> -> We've got a good number of their CDs and one video. Went to see them 
in
-> -> Savannah in early March of 2008.
-> 
->  HN> Had the chance to see them once but
->  HN> we did not manage to do so.
-> 
-> It was enjoyable. We went back to one place on River Street where we'd
-> had a good meal before but this time it was disappointing.
->
Sadly that happens sometimes!
 
-> ->  HN> Tacoma used to have some of the best
-> ->  HN> water in the world, at least according
-> ->  HN> to the competitions that search for
-> ->  HN> that sort of thing...but about
-> ->  HN> 10 years ago or so, they started addind
-> ->  HN> chlorine and flouride to the water
-> ->  HN> and it certainly does not taste the
-> ->  HN> same as it used to.
-> 
-> -> But it makes the government happy.
-> 
->  HN> Yep.
-> 
-> But not us.
->
Yep, When I was a kid we'd 
drink out of pretty much any
stream we found in the mountains.
Now we take the katadyn filter.
 
-> -> Next Friday night is the dinner. Reminds me, I need to call the
-> -> restaurant with the change in the number coming. I also need to make 
an
-> -> appointment for a hair cut before next Friday.
-> 
->  HN> Any luck on finding a position yet?
-> 
-> Still waiting, doing research but no resumes out yet. Still a couple of
-> finals to be taken.
->
Good luck!
 
-> -> -> Yes, and we need the occaosional splurges from time to time.
-> 
-> ->  HN> That's what I do...well....sometimes at
-> ->  HN> least!! (grin)
-> 
-> -> I splurged on some sewing supplies (a foot, a needle plate, a couple 
of
-> -> fat quarters and a scrap catcher for my serger) today down in
Raleigh.
-> -> We were down to see my cardiologist and since he's near the shop
where 
I
-> -> bought my sewing machine............................ We did end up 
going
-> -> elsewhere for the scrap catcher, to where I bought the serger. Got 
home
-> -> and made pizza for supper. Tomorrow we'll have some more of the
Boston
-> -> butt I cooked (with eastern NC style bbq sauce) in the crock pot over
-> -> the week end. It shredded easily with a fork--nice & tender. I'll
-> -> probably steam up the rest of the turnip greens I got at the farmer's
-> -> market to go with it.
-> 
->  HN> Eastern Carolina sauce is one of my
->  HN> favorites...but I like vinegar so it's
->  HN> not surprising!
-> 
-> It's the kind of sauce I had on my first taste of pulled pork and I like
-> it a lot better than the red sauces. The vinegar and heat make a great
-> taste combination.
-> 
->  HN> Hope you're enjoying the festivites!!
-> 
-> Rather quiet right now but will get loud all too soon.
-> 
Personally we've come to like the quiet celebration.
chat with you soon!
