Whenever we watch the Birds on TV, people behind the batter always wave at the camera. How do they know to wave? Do they wave randomly? Can they see the camera?

A chocolate chile caramel from Kakawa Chocolate House in Santa Fe; six kinds of chile stirred into homemade agave caramel, dipped in 80% dark chocolate, and sprinkled with red chile. It's a piece of heaven on earth.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences, Dipper.

I have my special juice box that I take to the opera. At intermission, Michele, our friend Sarah, and I have a little tot of Jameson's.

Happy birthday, Old Timer! Crusty old farts rule! Love, Durb
