friendly strangers make me happy too. even though i don't have a baby to attract them they are still nice to me. i went on a bicycle ride to find an abandoned bench sunday and everyone i met greeted me and i had a conversation with an older man, i think he was 70. that, and the sun, made me happy, and my newly tanned shoulders, and the bicycle path with sheep on it, and the cute little house that was my view.

In Seattle I had to remember not to say hi to everyone on the street.
Clean underwear does rule. I hear you.
1. Seeing my sisters and my father in Winnipeg this coming weekend (even if it is Winnipeg).2. Sunny and 70s for the first time this spring (it has been either hot or cold - nothing springy)
3. Teeny tiny tomatoes the size of pearls that appear overnight.
4. Walking around the lake with Bo on his best behavior.
5. Devouring great books by an author I had never read before, Jo Walton.
6. Franzikaner Weissbier on a hot day.
7. Local strawberries and cherries already!
8. Approving edits on a soon-to-be-published story
9. A good solo show in a giant ruin of a former church with godly and gorgeous acoustics
10. Sleeping with the window open instead of the air conditioner.
Hell yes to #10.
A published story? Do tell.

It was nice because I always prefer playing with somebody to playing solo, but I didn't really want to make the sound guys deal with a band when everyone else was going solo for the day - and then it turned out nicely after all.Jim -- I'll give details as soon as I know when they're publishing it.

Gretchen, my wife was a huge 10,000 Maniacs fan...she grew up in Western NY, near where they were from. I saw them live a few times...they were, much to my surprise, pretty good.I'm going to the farmers market this morning for the first time this year. Yay!
Yes! I got 1) feta cheese directly from the farm, 2) snap peas, and 3) new red potatoes I'll probably roast later and mix with the snap peas.
1) My husband, the best person I know2) The fact that he just RETIRED after 25 years of teaching high school English, wheeeeeeeeeeee!!
3) Looking at the trees through fog
4) Conversation with people from other countries -- different timbre, different sets of premises
5) My phenomenal nieces and nephews
6) Also leftovers (I like 'em for breakfast)
7) Good coffee with a banana
8) Our SERIOUSLY comfy-cozy bed
9) Driving on a summer evening with the sun roof open
10) Vancouver BC (with a special tip of the hat to Stanley Park and White Spot burgers)

My wife is fully convinced Ramsay is the anti-Christ but when she's not around, I let the kids watch the BBC version of "Kitchen Nightmares," where they don't bleep anything except the F-word. They love him.

Most of his rage is probably manufactured when the red light on the camera blinks on, but I think it's hilarious. No one can truly get that angry about over/undercooked food, can they?

Sally - Hugh Laurie is my avatar, and I am female. I turn 19 tomorrow, and I really can't explain the endearment thing, it just makes me happy.Clark - The episode I saw where he fucking SPAZZED over a disgusting kitchen, that can't be fake. I think he's just a perfectionist, and a narcissist too. He's got another show coming out this summer. He definitely likes being on television.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!And Bun, I agree with you completely.
i have never seen this guy or this show. but i will say that in today's world nice, soft spoken people don't pull a paycheck very long on TV
I wouldn't do better at all either. Tough Love is not for me.And it's not for all of the people on his shows. For example, on Kitchen Nightmares, most people completely shut down when he's yelling at them, and then he redecorates their restaurant or something, and they're like, "Oh, hey, this guy really does care."
Chef was a great show! Zu worked under a chef who had worked with Gordon Ramsay and said that his TV personality is actually toned DOWN.
But his American personality is also different from the one on the UK versions of his shows, where he's foul mouthed and cantankerous, but not so downright insulting.
