I actually remember the shock, surprise, horror, and
dismay I felt when airport renovations included tissue
dispensers that offered only the narrowest and least
effective of wipers.

There are plenty of places that still use the older dispensers... that's where it is most noticeable that the size has been shaved down.....

It's most noticeable when ,,, you know when it's
most noticeable.

it again.... not by a lot, just shaving things a little... I don't even really remember how long ago now.... More recently, they added an extra

Each generation of accountants has to build on the
achievements of the last.

I suppose.

In the long term, corporate growth is
impossible and illusory.

100 sheets to each roll, and proclaim it as like getting 3 extra rolls (when one buys the 36-roll pack)... I suspect that there still isn't as much paper in each roll as the original rolls had, back when Scott was still making them.... not sure when they stopped touting strong, I only recently noticed, but it might have been a while now, for all I know...

They probably have an interest in the hand
sanitizer industry as well.

Probably.

Was that when we retreated to the small picnic
area at the back end of the parking lot?

I believe so.... :)

Yeah, I remember some people being all clammed out
by the time we got there.

We did hit up quite a few places on that crawl... ;)

And on the rte 133 part of it we diverged
from my suggested methodology and went off
buying stuff individually, which resulted in
way too much food.

Short-sighted.... and sadly, those responsible have their golden parachutes ready to bail when the surge turns out to be bogus....

Look at the corporate decisions being made -
Mr. Boeing must be tired of spinning in his
grave by now. Maybe the 737s should be fitted
with ordinary parachutes.

It's beginning to sound like it... although it didn't sound like there
would have been time to deploy them....

No ... actually, a vast majority of crashes
have their genesis at way too low an altitude
for chutes to do any good. Not to say that the
vast majority of crashes occur at way too low
an altitude for chutes to do any good, which is
Tonto-logical.

Plus an ex-president of my musical association
as it turns out is living within 3 miles of the
reunion, and so I'm having lunch with her (she
was the second woman president) the Tuesday after.

Nice... :)

Haven't seen her in maybe a decade, and a
number of people have asked me to convey
their greetings.

When is the reunion...?

Starts the day of my last meeting on the east
coast, April 12, so I miss a day of it.

Yield: 12 servings

16 oz Chocolate wafers 1 qt Raspberry ice (sorbet)
10 tb Unsalted butter, melted Fudge Sauce (see below)
1 qt Frozen yogurt, vanilla Whipping cream, whipped
-flavored (optional)

--------------------------------FUDGE SAUCE--------------------------------
1 c Sugar 4 tb Light corn syrup
1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder 4 tb Butter
1/2 c Milk 2 ts Vanilla extract

In a food processor, process the chocolate wafers into crumbs. Add the
melted butter; combine. Press the crumb mixture into 9-inch round, 3-inch
deep springform pan, reserving 1-1/2 cups of the crumb mixture.

allow to cool.

When the crust is cool, fill with the frozen yogurt. Sprinkle with half
of
the reserved crumb mixture. Dribble half the fudge sauce over the crumb
layer, then place in the freezer so the yogurt won't melt.

After 5 minutes, make a second layer with the raspberry ice. Sprinkle
the
remaining crumb mixture on top. Put in freezer immediantly.

Serve with the remaining fudge sauce and whipped cream, if desired.

TO MAKE THE FUDGE SAUCE: In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa
powder, milk, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil and let boil 2 to
