Much as I dislike the institution of monarchy, I have nothing against the Queen and old people being unwell is not good.

Grumpy because it was a stinking crappy movie.

Elaborate.

He might be talking clean coal.

Important pitch. Would be great to get first client and a good one would be a bonus.

i haven't avoided it on purpose. at least not that i recall. more common options have been apple, rhubarb, blueberry, and pumpkin. i'll make a point of trying it then next time it's an option since my newfound appreciation of the pecan.

my nut sack mix is usually raw almonds, pecans/walnuts, and dried cranberries. i wish dried blueberries were more commonly available. might start adding sunflower seeds.

well you have come to the right place.

Seeing truckstop reminds me of my ever failing vegan diet. Today I went to an alleged English cafe offering fish and chips, English breakfast, shepherds pie etc.

I was sceptical and looking forward to a good long whinge. I was disappointed. The shepherds pie was excellent and not at all horsey.

Good luck. Don't mention you are a cyclist or they will wonder what is wrong with you.

Thanks. They are flying over from UK so a meeting in person gives me the opportunity to pull up my trouser legs and show them my rock hard cycling legs. If that doesn't impress them I don't know what will.

Eh? I hardly ever see rhubarb pie. Even blueberry is less common than pecan.

Showing some leg might get some people here hot and bothered, but it's generally a bad tactic for males to employ in a business setting.

What is plan "B" ?

If that doesn't work, I'll beg.

Rhubarb crumble for the win!

As much as I hate to be serious, seriously...good luck.

That sounds just like safe sex. Either way, it never ends well.

Thanks. I really don't want to get to plan C....involves hostages.

Wise words from the Sage of Chester.

Relax. No pressure. ABC. Always Be Closing. Just watch this inspirational video.

don't worry, last night we went out with friends and i had a steak and blue cheese salad, and one too many glasses of petit sirah.

Went running with a friend today instead of riding. He was faster than me on the flats and downhills, but I was faster on the uphills. We did a very hilly course.

Guess which one of us weighs 135 and which one weighs 175?

That is funny. I once attended one of those bullsnot employee training courses meant to build teamwork and all the usual HR nonsense. It was such a cliche like that movie clip.

There's a regional element to this. Pecan pie is indigenous to the South. In the upper midwest, pecan pie is quite unusual but rhubarb and rhubarb combinations are ubiquitous.

might be a regional thing?
