I'm sorry the network is still messing up on you, Nilly. I hope it stops soon.

Nilly! Um, wishing you lots of good matlab luck? Is that good? If it's good, that's what I'm wishing you.

David, one of my favorite combos is Godiva Dark Belgian Chocolate and Hagen Daaz Dulce La Leche in the same bowl. It must be a very small bowl, though, because the combination is lethally rich.

I just had to turn back from work as too many roads are closed due to black ice. So I get to laze around at home completely guilt-free for a few hours. I think I'll drink some tea. Hell, I think Ill drink LOTS of tea.

I'm late to the Seder discussion but Debet, if your mother plans something like this in the future, a good resource would be Indiana Hillel, which is just up the road in the small town with the big university. They are accustomed to these kind of outreach education questions.

Jars, will you have to go in later, or do you get the entire day off?

Nilly -- evil, and you have my commiseration. I hate computers, myself.

I'm trying to sort my wheat books from my chaff books -- and I have no chaff. Not in themore prevalent Buffista way -- just that I get rid of them so often, all I have is what I want, or what I must have (because a relative wrote it).

Maybe I'll throw out kitchen stuff. I'm moving. I have to throw something away.

I'm late to the Seder discussion too, but it seems to me it would be better to go through the different parts like the questions and the bitter herbs, maybe have something like matzo ball soup to stand in for dinner, finish and then say, "So that gives you some idea of what a seder is like. Now we're going to have pizza, which we wouldn't have at a real seder. Do you know why?"

I like this suggestion.(Though, she should have done some research before promising pizza to start with.) Or, they could have matzoh pizza -- I used to know a girl who lived on that during Passover, though it doesn't seem very dinner-ish.

As for TAR, so far I like the mother/son team, Rob and Amber, Uchenna and Joyce, and the gay guys. Was suprised the POW/beauty queen team didn't do better. Find the Barbie Twins and the dating couple with the guy in the bandanna annoying. I was mixed on the girls who won, because the blonde seemed to get really whiny really quickly during the llama challenge. But they are pretty and smart, so. The older couple and the rednecks both should have known that the race might involve running.

Also -- why didn't they have a detour on this leg?

I think matzoh pizza would be cool! Double extra diversity points if you explain that it's much like Armenian lavosh pizza, and get into a cross-cultural discussion about flatbreads in western Asia! No?

Okay, aiming a little high, there. Still, matzoh pizza has potential, and not just because it's a fun phrase to say.

matzoh pizza motzoh pizza motzoh pizza.

It is fun to say! Though less fun to spell.

They had a detour, but no Roadblock. I think that the pair who came in first are going to irritate me.
