Oh dear, some very bad news just come up on my BBC news feed: 2017 100m World Champion and 3-time Olympic medallist Tori Bowie, the US sprinter, has passed away at the age of 32. That's shockingly young.

I did have a very quick response from the help desk at cc.com.  After she changed something in my account, i was still not able to log in until I realized that I had cc.com open on two devices.  When I logged out on both, it finally worked.

Our weather here in the Midwest is getting better, but it has been somewhat cold in the past few days.  In West Virginia and parts of southwestern Pennsylvania yesterday, they got snow!!   Below might sum up well for May's weather and its variations.  Right or wrong?

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

And now you're back with your original screen name!

 

BTW I am always logged in on multiple devices. At a minimum, on my laptop and my phone (both running chrome).

Finally…. Leaving Tokyo on the Whisper. Looks like another motley over the hill gang.

Being well known in Atlantide and Kaiseki Rojaan has a private stash. But in Bari Tiki must have been loaded as it is now in every restaurant.

Bistecca alla Florentina. It's what (was) for dinner, last night. After doing lots of work around the house, we deserved a treat.

 

Found a nice-looking Porterhouse at the local butcher shop. Sel gris and a bit of rosemary. 

 

 

Went out for a walk while it warmed up. Did about 90 seconds per side on the grill. Almost done.

 

 

After the quick sear, I let it rest off the flame for a minute or two. It looks too pretty to eat. 

 

 

But we enjoyed every bit. This might even satisfy Dr. Ron's definition of appropriately cooked?

 

 

I had a bottle of Carignane from Italy which went nicely. I even shared it with Chris! 

 

And just like that, it's Sunday already. Where do these weekends go?

Fits mine perfectly!  [I'm not a Doctor, but I play one on the internet...]  Yum.

Looking very good and tasty, J.P.!!

 

At age six months, here is the look for our Lizzie, an Aussie Labrododle, after getting her needed, first trimming Friday. Now we can see her eyes!!    Much improved after that cut, right?  Like the purple bows?

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

Perfect.

Sunday afternoon. Mid 70s, sunny, and not humid. Perfect weather for a leisurely stroll somewhere, so we went 15 minutes away to Peebles Island.

 

This island sits in the Mohawk River, just before it converges with the the Hudson. A nice 2+ mile loop through the wilderness, but within sight of civilization. 

 

We walked the perimeter of the island. Here's Waterford on the other bank.

 

 

This tree is somehow hanging on. Looks like it could walk away.

 

 

A spillway in the Mohawk. 

 

 

Yes, that's a Great Blue Heron!

 

 

Further along, a pair of geese with at least three little ones. They are on the river bank in this photo.

 

 

On the other side of the island, the world-renowned Cohoes Falls. Not Victoria, but closer.

 

 

Not all wilderness. This is some kind of six-cylinder engine. Rusting away.

 

 

Back to the spillway for another view of the herons. There are two now.

 

 

A nice afternoon. Hope everyone else is enjoying it too.

Terry, why is the dog called an “Australian” labradoodle?  Labradors and poodles are found all around the world.  Surely cross-breeding has occurred in other countries besides Australia?  It has become a popular cross-breed with people mistakenly thinking the labradoodle will not shed and will be good for people allergic to dog dander.  Not all cross breeds end up with poodle wool from that parent.

 

Lizzie is so cute, though.  Love her chocolate colouring.
