. . . and I did not have to do the math (?). It's free, just register and you can save on your computer, or share on Facebook, or send email... this is just incredible! The nine-patch (quilter talk) is composed of the faces around DH's summer birthday party on the west coast.The other upside and freebie I spent yesterday figuring out is Pandora Radio. Perhaps I am just a bit slow but I created the account on my computer which became annoying because of the constant pop-up ads; and could not figure out how to get it to the iPod/Touch. But later I uploaded it on the iPod/Touch and entered my account name and voila!, there it was. This new app from Jennifer, shown in middle row, far right. Listened to a lot of Jimmy Buffett and other songs like his as determined by the Music Genome Project. Cannot say I totally understand what the MGP does but do not care that much - the results are a wonder.
Quick update on Tuesday's mussel dinner. Dick and Sue Barrows's KITCHEN is a winner! Check them out at www.kitchenchapelhill.com for menus and the background story. Choose mussels from either 'Beligan in beer' (and onion broth), Provencial (with tomato and garlic), or two other choices I cannot recall. Next time for me will be a real dilemna: they also have Chicken Tagine, couscous with N. Africian vegetables (that or Beligan mussels?). DH says we have to go back, OFTEN!
This week begins the Fall term of OLLI, the lifelong learning classes at Duke U. that I talk about frequently. My choice this year "Traveling the Silk Road: Art and Cultural Exchange," a series of ten professors, each lecturing on a different aspect of the cultural transfer from East to West in the history of civilization.
Today's speaker is Brett Whalen (Ph.D Stanford U), a UNC assistant professor whose published writing included a lot of Christian history as it emerged from the legacy of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Got to be interesting.
Got to run, the Silk Road awaits. bb
