A Woody Allen Moment
I had a Woody Allen moment, straight out of "Annie Hall", last
evening... I'm out at the barby introducing five lobsters to their "evening warm bath", when a particularly feisty one jerks so hard he managed to get loose from my tongs and took off across the counter top. If there wasn't a step-up at the edge, he'd have been scurrying across the desert landscape ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave |

There's leftovers to make crab cakes. Of course, we saved a little room for flaming bananas. I went once to a wonderful, grubby little joint on the Ile de Re. The protocol is that you go in and sit at a crude wooden table. A dour guy comes over and throws a couple of live lobsters on the table. You scowl, he shruggs, and he takes them away and brings a couple of bigger ones. When you're finally satisfied, he broils them, in a couple of minutes, and brings them back with a bottle of white wine that has no cork or label. Good. Haven't had a serious work-related email in at least 2 weeks, so I'm just cleaning up, piles of papers and magazines at work and home, and all sorts of cables and parts and notes and stuff to organize. We work in a very messy business. John |
