Big Mick, next time you visit here, Kath and I will have to treat you to brunch at the Parkway Deli, home of the regulation-softball-sized matzoh balls and the best fried onion rings I've had in a long time. If you insist on haut instead of "hot" cuisine, we'll have to cook - one reason we Silver Spring ladies are so svelte is our love of cooking and feeding the results to each other!

How come you weren't sampling eau de teargas in Seattle? (Not that I'd wish that on you...)
