she wobbled up to me some hours later to report that she
would be just as happy never to see another Scotch again.

Scotch is better in lesser quantities to just take the edge off... ;) Understandable for that sort of news to hit hard...

When people a decade younger start falling off
the branch, one starts to worry. Of course she
(as does Lilli) puts on a brave face mostly

I just got a notice of a friend passing, but she
had an excuse - she was 85, and her husband went
a year or two ago. But things do weigh heavy.

Some coder wanted to write an SNL skit and had to settle for messing
up mxkeys?

It was a couple years ago, and I think it was
Sean or Shawn or Mark or Marc or someone like
that who came up with the most believable reason,
having to do with some program self-preserving
by replacing instances of m o nkey with m x key,
because the former has some meaning internal to
the workings of that program.

It was mark...

Ah,

Try them -- they are really good, decadent even. There is also something called m o n key bread with similar ingredients on a
larger scale. These are a more manageable serving size -- but
can be addictive.

Title: Mxkey Biscuit Rolls

I've had that before; it's a cinnamon sticky bread baked in a bundt
pan.

And if they didn't have a stupid name like that,
the x for on problem would not surface that often.

Indeed... ;)

More stupid names.
