DJTweeny: If you enjoy what you're doing, it isn't work.
Cease: If you read the gnocchi ingredients, it includes roasted lemon, and the cocktail citrus circus meshed exquisitely with the lemony veg/gnocchi dish
Beet: It does sound delish.
||||||||| Catherwood enters and asks "Is there anythynge you want? By that I mean Anythynge You Want To, Shakespeare's Lost paperback Comedie in pre-electronic book form!"
Ponsonby Britt wiating for someone to ask if that bridge isn't built yet
Cease: eating and drinking as well as possible has become my life's mission
Cease: my parents got into that space in their 80s. thankfully i'm a bit younger
DJTweeny: Sort of like a Grail Quest, eh Cease?
Beet: I'm sure you enjoy your line of work, Cease.
Cease: exactly
Cease: i was at a restaurant on aug 1, 2006 on a nearby island, and suddenly felt called to a quest
Cease: work?
DJTweeny: lol
Cease: i had the sense that i had to follow the path of fine dining/drinking.
Cease: an expensive quest, but well worth it.
Beet: Ever thought of writing a book about your research. Cease?
Cease: before that, i ate well when p;ossible, but it was no quest.
Cease: interesting idea, beet

Beet: This'll be good.
||||||||| Catherwood enters the room, strikes a gong, and bellows "THE TIME IN NEW YORK IS 10 O'CLOCK", then silently exits.
Cease: its kind of serendipitous. some really good restaurants moved into my parents neighbourhood just as they were drifting into dementia
Cease: the sudden exposure to great food gave them a mental anchor
Cease: they're all good, Beet.I hope
Cease: i think, if you have eaten something memorable, it gives you a concrete memory as all your other memories turn to swirling dust
Beet: They're all good.

Cease: A kind of one man Firesign
Beet: I just glanced at the pdf that comes with my download. Some great material!
Cease: I have a couple of OJ stories. Are they arleady in my collages, I forget
Beet: This would work well with a heightened state of consciousness.

||||||||| Captain Equinox flies in through the transom, landing on the bearskin rug. "Attention, solstice squad! After working a 12-hour day, I like to kick back and swill some juice out of a genuine Firesign coffee mug or Bear Whiz Beer stein!"
Rotonoto: Cat- sounds like your friend was successful, then?
DJTweeny: good point, Beet
DJTweeny: and with it quite a few FM stations which didn't have to address commecial interests.
Beet: Watching that transition was really a thrill.
Rotonoto: I hear snippets of FST humor, usually without attribution, from time to time. Certainly a lot of folks out there fluent in that language...
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and c disembarks at 10:25 PM.

DJTweeny: Yes indeed Rotonoto, keeping it free and open will be a challenge as we careen towards a PRC-like surveillance society
