==========================
 ML> I figure 4 visits, 2 to 3 days each. 8 oz of nuts a day with
 ML> half a chocolate bar.
 NB> I saw the correction... half a pound for each visit does seem
 NB> reasonable, not a lot of sustenance, but better than nothing... ;) 
 NB> And that should last out the next two months.. :)  About how I was

And once in a while I'll deign to go out to lunch with
him (or he'll deign to go out to lunch with me), so I
get my pound of flesh.

 ML> Tomorrow something similar, but Rosemary has promised to
 ML> take me at least to the train station, so I've had only a
 ML> quarter of a chocolate bar 
 NB> Let you sleep a little better, perhaps...

Today, though, there was nothing for me to do, so I
ate lots of chocolate. I can foresee a restless night.

 ML> - today, Cadbury Royal Dark, which
 ML> tastes sort of like Hershey's Special Dark, except there's an
 ML> undertone of peanut-like. Cadbury is now a Hershey phenomenon,
 ML> which I tolerate only because it was half the price of Lindt,
 ML> and I needed my chocolate fix.
 NB> I don't know as I've ever bought the Cadbury Royal Dark bars... but we
 NB> did grab some bags of the Cadbury Royal Dark Easter mini-eggs while
 NB> they were available.  I hadn't noticed the peanut-like undertone, but
 NB> maybe the candy shells mask that somewhat...

This week the special was on Hershey's Special Dark,
and I can verify that it tastes quite similar.

 ML> the women I've chosen for myself have generally worked out
 ML> disastrously. The oddest thing is that my main criterion has
 ML> been character rather than looks.
 NB> Character being harder to truly judge than looks, that isn't all that
 NB> surprising... 

It's not that they were bad characters - au contraire, some
of them were probably more prosocial than I. Just that things
worked out badly. As far as looks go, I was tested yesterday
at 20/300 with full correction. There's new technology that
may bring me down below 100, but we shall see what we shall
see - I just plunked down $490 for the prescription; the
glasses arrive in 10 days to 2 weeks.

 NB>> That's progress, anyway... And it's good you have the brother-in-law
 NB>> to depend on...  :)
 ML> I thank my lucky stars.
 NB> Do you have him officially designated as health proxy?
 
Proxy and HCPOA. I'm taking no risks in that arena.

Fusilli with Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula & Parmesan
