  1. In case you didn’t see this on various social media accounts.

    Sore but apparently not injured. I’m really lucky a big semi wasn’t in my path when I careened through three lanes of 5:00p trafffic.

    1. Wow. So glad you walked away. Frightening!

      Makes me resume considering updating our family vehicle to something newer.

      1. I just sunk a fair bit of money into regular maintainance on the Buick LeSabre we got from Mrs. Hayes’ grandfather when he surrendered his license five years ago. On the one hand, still it has only 76,000 miles on it, and we could put the car payment to use elsewhere. On the other, the safety engineering surrounding the Poissonnière is the equivalent of my parents driving a car from the mid-1950s when I was the same age she is now. We mostly use it as an in-town car, but still.

    1. Astudillo makes this team a lot more fun. It sounded like Falvey's experience with José Ramírez was a contributing reason to signing Astudillo despite the unusual body of work. I hope the team learns to take more risks with players that couldn't sell jeans before.

  2. Read this in the 1843 last weekend - cool visual recipe.

    Then made this as part of my pneumonia recovery journey (feed a cold).

    I had bought a springform cake pan a year ago and a chocolate melting pan insert, but they had been sitting on the shelf unused. Finally got off the schneid - it turned out great (BTW go with 350F not 400F per the recipe comments). Now I need a 4 egg version as we can't eat this much cake between the two of us.

    1. somehow, I never seem to get around to reading the 1843. Of course, I'm 5 weeks behind on my Economist reading as is.

  3. Curling update: Shuster made it to the playoffs. They are currently playing Japan in the quarterfinals, though it can't be watched on YouTube without making your IP address look like it's outside the US. (it can be watched on NBC sports if your cable package has it.)

      1. All of the US games have been blocked on YouTube because they're being broadcast by NBC. So yeah, it's pretty stupid. I recently had to switch from my dad's Comcast account to my mom's directv account which doesn't get whatever channel this is on.

        (fortunately, the Canada - Scotland draw has been really good.)

  4. I just got a call that my dad isn't doing very well, so I'll be headed out of town shortly. Don't know when I'll be back. All the stuff I do here will be temporarily suspended. Your prayers would be appreciated. Thank you.
