Happy birthday to the insightful and lovely inflectionpoint!

Seven years...

It was kind of a rough beginning... but I've learned a huge amount, and have a partner and relationship that I treasure. :) Seven years with Nancy, going back to APC4 in Chicago... happy anniversary today to us! Snow, home renovation projects, trips to FL and Spain and many, many airport runs later... and I only began ice skating in order to be able to ice-dance with her. (grin)

hold the mayo...

(scratches head) who puts mayo on a cheese steak sandwich? When I've eaten them in Philly, it was an argument over the bread or the kind of cheese, but never a problem with mayo or mustard being added. I went to the roach-coach (portable kitchen truck, visits buildings on a schedule) for lunch today, ordered a cheese steak, then took it back when it had mayonnaise present.

A couple of years ago, it would have felt as though I were being too demanding to take it back and insist on a properly prepared sandwich. That's progress... not that I understand why anyone uses mayo anyway, I don't see any redeeming virtue to the stuff other than as a lubricant...
