It's raining, It's pouring...

Man... I'm glad Brad isn't biking in the weather we've had here last night and today - It's been raining hard most of the time... Kaiser hates the rain, so he got an abbreviated walk this a.m., but Jasper got the whole nine yards... And we were all soaking wet when we were done.They are both sound asleep as I type this. Nothing like dry sleepy dogs!

Went down to see mom this morning, just before their lunch, so I ended up staying and having a cup of tea while they ate. She was very pleased with the flowers and the other treats I took her. And she looked great. The best I've seen her in a while. And she wasn't even complaining about her arthritis, despite the miserable weather, which always makes it worse. Hopefully some of my other siblings will pay her a visit this afternoon - she was certainly expecting them to, but alas, I have my doubts...

You know it's raining hard when I don't even want to go out to buy my lotto tickets, but I did force myself, as I had to pick up some tofu as well for the Pad Thai I am making for supper. I'll post the recipe for it sometime soon. It really is delish. And you could certainly make it with chicken or shrimp as well.

I watched Breach last night, one of the films we've received from Rogers that Brad has already seen. It was good. About the snagging of a mole in the FBI who was secretly working for the Russians for many years. A true story, apparently, though I hadn't heard anything about it before.

Perhaps Brad will read this tonight chez Maurice, perhaps not. In any case, Baci amore. I miss you! Happy (and safe!) biking!

Addendum: Ugh... Now my left eyelid is smarting from jalapeno juice... Though I washed my hands several times after cutting up the jalapeno, a bit of it must have remained.. Oh well, better my eyelid than someplace lower on my body, which has happened before in the past whilst making Pad Thai!

Now, I'm going to light a fire and put an some opera (probably Snegurochka - a far cry from the YouTube vid below), which was a song from Breach. It's incredibly schmaltzy, but it's for my sweetie, who should soon be in Montréal for the night...



And here are few arias from Snegurochka (The Snow Maiden), which Brad and I saw at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 2006:

Okay... Am I to infer that you like jalapeño and Pad Tahi so much that, once upon a time, you were simply drawn to touch yourself "someplace lower [than the eyelids] on [your] body"? That's really kinky, Jeff, although I'll allow it was probably an accident. ;-P

I'm expecting Brad to arrive in 30 to 90 minutes. Although it's been grey, it hasn't poured down rain around here as much as what you've experienced. I'll make sure he reads this post. I'm thinking of taking him to Le Commensal after he cleans up and catches his breath.

LOL re the jalapeno juice! When nature calls, Maurice! I definitely learned THAT lesson, tho!

I'm sure you 2 will have a great evening! I've heard good things about Le Commensal. Enjoy!

Thanks for the video. Couldn't have said it better myself! You don't have to worry about me straying - even in sin city. I'm EXHAUSTED. Ouf. I might have to recalculate my daily mileage. Molti baci! Brad

Hope you had a good night's sleep. You sounded really tired on the phone last night! Ride safe and stay in touch!

Well, no wonder you know Russian then. We didn't know that Russia had such delicious chocolate. One usually doesn't put these two things together. Vodka? Maybe, LOL.

And making an honest man out of George? It's too late for that I'm afraid. No, I'm kidding. We're beyond happy and thrilled. Thanks again for your kind words.

And regarding that gelato. Why don't you and Brad just hop on a plane and get down here. It's not as far as Italy and we have gondolieres too, LOL. Oh, and did I mention our comfy cozy guest room?
