Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That sounds really good. And I’m glad to hear about the better than boullion onion option, I have not seen that!

One of my fancy markets had a bunch I'd never seen before - fish stock, lobster stock, mushroom stock, Italian Herb.

They might have been test marketing it, but I'm going to try to order some more onion stock online just to have some in supply.

Because while I can make onion stock it's effortful to roast and blenderize etc, and it won't be any better than what I can buy.

Thanks!

Our wings are not tired.

Better than Bullion is awesome stuff, although I will pass on the onion.

I am off to train new doctors and users. It has been some time since we had a new practice so I have had to update a lot of my materials. Looking forward to it. When my son takes over for me I will be able to go out on site more often, which I enjoy more than sitting on the computer all day long.

I want to say that insomnia can just go and fuck the hell off. Seriously, fuck insomnia.

Man, it would be so nice if insomnia would just fuck off!

Insomnia definitely proves why sleep deprivation is considered a form of torture.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The trick is finding the onion stock. Pacific Soups used to do one but they stopped.

I remember you recommending this years ago, so I always keep an eye out and I think I’ve actually found it one time. Glad to know there’s an alternative!

I just learned that Cincinnati is home to the Cincinnati Type & Print Museum! I see a trip in the not-too-distant future...
