=================
 NB> You'll no doubt find out much if not all, next visit there...  :)

In excruciating detail! But I found out that Annie is in LA,
leaving the cats to Kathy the housekeeper, hence nothing of
interest out of there yet.

 ML> Of course, any port refers to a house with 9 bedrooms, of
 ML> which a maximum of 3 are occupied by other cats.
 NB> Perhaps she was hoping the bogey man would scare away the new
 NB> interloper... other rooms might be harboring said interloper... ;)

The chances are though in favor of privacy.

 ML> Recently I went to a festive dinner for about 60, and I stuck
 ML> mostly with the 20 or so whom I knew; I got chatty with about
 ML> 10 more at the alcohol party afterward, but that's what booze
 ML> is good for.
 NB> Indeed.  :)

It really does help, up to a point, though I have done okay at
the socializing with nonbooze parties as well.

 NB> And if one has family there, such as Haffly's have (or had?), one can
 NB> stay there rather inexpensively as well...  :)  The trip for you
 NB> boosts both miles and hotel-stay points...?

Using, this trip.

 ML> Annie has not mentioned anything untoward in her e-mails,
 ML> but I suspect that the fur has begun to fly.
 NB> One would certainly expect such.  :)  Next visit there, things will
 NB> probably have found their new normal... could be interesting which is
 NB> top cat by then...  ;)

See above.

 ML> (as many of us do) locked onto those 3 1/2" jobbers that I
 ML> might have liked - fractals mostly; but my only beef is
 ML> against myself if I didn't back them up to a better archive.
 NB> All need not be lost... We still have working 3.5 drives, and ways of
 NB> converting to more modern media, especially on Richard's machines...
 NB> if you wish, you could bring some here on some visit, and that could be
 NB> part of the entertainment... (G)

Heh. Luckily, there's not much embarrassing that I
would have put on the disks.

 NB> Fu hasn't publicly surfaced yet... but I keep hoping it will be
 NB> soon... plus there are lots of other places to try out..  ;)

I hope he gets it together soon. Such a talent is not supposed
to be wasted.

Not certain what this title means, either.

      Title: Beans Meanz Fitz
 Categories: Beans, Bacon
      Yield: 6 Servings

  1 1/2 lb Fresh young broad beans;
           Shelled
           Olive oil
           Lemon juice
           Salt
           Black pepper; freshly ground
      6    Strips bacon; cut in
           Strips
      4    Hard-boiled eggs; peeled and
           Left in cold water
           Parsley
           Chives
  1 1/2 cn Anchovy fillets

  Make a dressing with about 1/4 pint of the best olive oil, adding
  lemon juice and seasoning to taste: keep it quite tart. For easy
  mixing, make it in a screwtop jar. Grill or fry the bacon until crisp
  and drain on paper towels. Put the beans into boiling salted water and
  cook until just tender; drain and refresh under cold running water.
  Pat the eggs dry and chop roughly together with parsley and chives.

  Lay the beans in some ravishing china dish, sprinkle with the bacon,
  pile the eggs and herbs on next and lattice the top with the anchovy
  fillets. Chill slightly. Just before serving, give the dressing a good
  shake and drizzle over the beans. Bring to the table with some good
  crusty bread and unsalted butter.
