and while I'm whiny: my arm muscles are burny. I guess 5 miles of swimming over the weekend, the gardening plus hauling 80lbs of air conditioner up 2 floors and installing it might have pushed something over the edge.

Amy, even moreso in the movie "Saved". I loved her (and Culkin) in that.

Loved it. And still boggling over the most wanted, yet unavailable, soundtrack of my movie loving life.

With Stipe as producer, how could they NOT release a soundtrack?

Huh. I got $30-something back from the IRS, and I'm not sure why. I figured that I owed $2K-something, and paid that, and there was no info with the check. Could it be that they found an error in my favor already? Seems unlikely, no?

Thanks for the support wrt to mac. The grieving stuff is hard, but so good for him. I was shocked that he actually went straight to sad today and just stayed there. A good cry is good for him, he supresses sadness so much. He actually had a really good evening after crying it out.

It's really something amazing that he's processing the emotions towards immediate news now, rather than later. Credit to the distances you've covered.

I'm glad some good can come out of the grief, msbelle.

Question for buffista cooks: I bought a 1/3 lb. mahi mahi filet tonight, and want to do something a bit creative with it for dinner tomorrow night, but have no experience cooking this fish. Does this plan sound like it could turn out all right?

Sautee one side over medium heat for 5 minutes in pan coated with olive oil and a bit of salt. Drizzle the top with Grand Marnier, cover with thin banana slices and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and brown sugar. Flip and sautee another 6 minutes.

Any suggestions or warnings?

I'd be afraid of the bananas falling off when you flipped it over, but I am really bad at flipping. I probably don't have the right spatulas.

Internet connection crippled.

Cannot reach e-mail.

Don't know if I can make it.

Be strong, Gud!
