Yes, very cool about Ethan's award. I know I'm gonna forget stuff here, but let me try to catch up. The extra Zooms are Town Halls with the PAC I work for(you all in Israel are not the only ones who deserve better, but we knew that.) They started as an outgrowth of both the pandemic and healthcare activism, taking a once-a-month healthcare meeting to weekly, on Sundays. Four(!) years in, we've had candidates and foreign policy people...all sorts of stuff. I think, initially, when asking me to all these extra things in addition to the phones, someone expected a real activist rather than somebody who wrote about TV all the time, but they got me. I'm getting more informed, now, of course, but I can still feel the gap.(Even when I'm not also trying to work out a plot problem in a story or something while listening. Which, sadly, is still the closest I get to Faith and "Because it's wrong," but it does sometimes work.) Yeah, very impressed with Shir and Nilly's English. Sometimes when i feel like my Spanish is slipping, I practice with the TV, but I haven't used it with a live person for a while(Maybe on twitter, because that's where I could be a showboat.)ETA: It makes sense that they could import syrup, especially given that it's kind of a treat, but I guess I wondered if you had come up with something using Idk, dates or figs or something of that sort, I suppose.)

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Way to go, Ethan!
Popping in to say hello! And ask whether the card assignments gone out yet? I don’t see it and checked in spam and promotions, too. It’s fine if not, just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss it.
smonster, no, not yet! It's my plan to get them out tonight -- Matt had a glitch in the program he made to spit out the assignments, but he got it to me yesterday. I neglected to update my update!
Timelies all!
Happy birthday Amych!
Congrats Ethan!
Oh, happy birthday to amych!
And what wonderful recognition for Ethan!
No worries, Jen. Just making sure. Not that I’m going to jump right on them or anything.
Happy birthday amych!
Congrats to Ethan!
Woo hoo Ethan! Happy Birthday, amych!
Congrats, Ethan!
We have a considerable diamond slippers too tight issue here. Last night we went to dinner with old friends and they ordered a huge sushi boat, after having soup and sashimi appetizers. So I have a huge quantity of leftovers. With the sushi my choices are gobble it up quickly today and tomorrow at the latest, and/or disassemble it. There are recipes for quick pan frying the raw leftovers and serving over the disassembled rice. It's a challenge. So yeah, sushi for breakfast.
eta: Successful leftover breakfast. Pan-fried various sashimi slices briefly in butter and chili sauce, including the toppers from a couple of the sushi pieces. Served alongside 3 pieces of cooked sushi. Does my belly like soy sauce and wasabi with my morning coffee? Of course!
