Sue, your tomorrow sounds SUCKY.

We went on a huge group abalone dive once, everyone took their limit

-t, was this in California? I'm asking cause I remember hearing that abalone can only be taken by free diving and I think that it's cool.

and we prepared most of them the traditional way - sliced, tenderized, breaded, and pan-fried.

years ago, at a staff retreat in Santa Cruz, we had a donor to the school prepare us a meal that included panko encrusted abalone and wild mushrooms he had collected. Dear god, was that good.

I woke up with a full on cold. yay? This has been the vacation of sick and waiting for the plumber.

Hey, it's double digits! Balmy!

And the forecast for the week indicates that today's high may well be Tuesday night's low.

Woo hoo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

yay?

Boo!

I've been boiling water on the stove, and brought the hot pan into my bedroom last night, and I think it helped! I still slept like crap, but not because of a dry throat and stopped up nose, anyway...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My dad hunted birds when I was growing up, so I ate pheasant, quail, duck, and goose. All of which he shot. I've eaten a lot of fish that either I or someone in my family has caught. But, unlike Ginger, I never cleaned fish.

My mother taught me a very important lesson when I was about 10 or 11: if there is something you don't want to do, never learn how to do it and you will never have to. This was taught to me in the context of cleaning fish (which my mom has never learned to do) and I carried over into other areas of my life.

I could be up for Chicago dinner week. Keep me in the loop for plans. I'm currently working in Niles and still live in Aurora, so a place with parking would be lovely.

Yes, probably a necessary interim step.

NOw I would like fish for lunch, but no, I will have salad since I mostly ate chips over the weekend.

My TiVO is supposed to tape all Nathan for me, but I bet it doesn't catch things Like Regis. poop.

It was a very short interview. He talked about the last time he was on Regis, while he was on OLTL, and how Bo Buchanan convinced him to leave the soap and try Hollywood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ontario man who owned exotic animals mauled to death by 300 kg pet tiger

SOUTHWOLD, Ont. — A 66-year-old man from southern Ontario, who spent years battling with neighbours to keep wild cats on his property, has been mauled to death by his 300-kilogram pet tiger.

Norman Buwalda went into the tiger's cage on his property in Southwold, Ont. on Sunday afternoon to feed the animal, when police said the man was attacked and killed by the tiger.

"We don't know what actually took place, because no one witnessed it, but the tiger ended up attacking him and killing him," said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Troy Carlson.

A family member discovered the man's body and was able to lock the tiger in a separate portion of the cage, dividing Buwalda from the pacing tiger until an ambulance arrived.

The brutal attack is not the first one to occur on Buwalda's property, which houses a number of exotic animals.
