Nah. Biggest one-day take for me in AC stands at just under $1000. My 21st birthday, no less. Had it up to about +$1350 that night, but gave some back at the end.

My strategy is to write some combination of "we are thinking of you" and a happy memory I have of the deceased. If I have no happy memories of the deceased, I'm in trouble.

No memories, I didn't know him - brother of a close friend. Got through it coherently - I hope.

There will be an answer...let it be.

The one caveat is that weird, non-uniformly shaped pizzas often end up being a pain in the

to cut. You end up with pizza tangrams.

I don't see why that's a problem, though I have been known to make matzoh-cube and -pyramid soup.

Had to look that one up. Very interesting.

I just might offer tangrams of pizza tomorrow night instead of slices.

The sausage is cooked, the sauce is done, the shrimp are washed, cut, and their flour mix completed. belynch will be happy to know that I removed the tails. Leftover sausage will end up in a tortilla shell with eggs and cheese another day this week. There are also spicy steak leftovers from dinner tonight. They make good tortilla inhabitants as well.

It is with that I bid thee good night, Box. Toddler bedtime.

Evening, Box. Last night's sleep study was uneventful, although they did have to wake me up 4-5 times in order to adjust my mouthpiece, so it wasn't exactly a restful night. The good news is that my appliance should now be dialed in just about right. Many good nights of sleep ahead, I hope.

And a very happy birthday to usa18dca, HeathrowGuy, and Teh Retired BBDS.

I'm in for a lifetime membership.

On a TX related note, I just noticed cases of Shiner on special at my local grocery store.
