We had to settle for the poor man's pocket rocket because we're about to spring for an addition to our home. That's going to cost. But we get to grow old in a nicer home, so that's something I guess. Would have been better to have done it a decade earlier, but whatever. All I can think is it's going to be four months during which cutting vocal tracks or anything with open mics is a questionable endeavor.

Congrats!
Make sure you practice saying “omelette du fromage” so you’ll be able to order and eat breakfast. I believe this bit ‘o wisdom originated with either Steve Martin or Steve Miller.

I thought that Steve Martin predated Dexter by about 4 decades.
He had a routine about French where it dawned on him that EVERY word in French is different than English, “It’s like they have a different word for everything!” When he visited there he practiced say omelette du fromage over and over so he could eat something. When he ordered his omelette in a french restaurant he said, “She brought me a shoe with cheese on it.”
It was so long ago that the above is all I remember from it. I bet one could find it on the tube.

Wherever it came from, it's funnier because omelette au fromage is the proper grammar.
of course if it is Limburger, that's the same bacteria that's stinkfoot, so maybe something in the shoe joke

Just re-did my healthcare directive.
That can be creepy.
I’m donating my organs for transplant. They’re going to pick me clean like roadkill on a sunny highway. Only stipulation is AFTER I’M GONE.
Hey, you get two more doors!
Do the contractors work during the night?
Steve definitely has a way with language. Remember the name of the hotel in L.A. Story? El Pollo Del Mar.
LeMaartian est arrivé.
Finally. You can get proper French Fries!Merci! What a journey. I started on this quest back on 9 November. Took me almost 10 months to make it happen, all thanks to someone who ate a McCovid sandwich and shared it.

I just sent an email to Chris to fix the spelling. He got the The=>Le part right, but missed the a=>e part. Should be fixed soon.Content que vous ayez fait un bon voyage, monsieur.
TheMaartian => LeMaartien = LeMaartian?
Hmmm ... I thought France would have better scenery!

Frites!Finally. You can get proper French Fries!
They don't. But I'm in rehearsals most evenings and my neighbors are trying to sleep at night, so I can't belt out Big Vocal Tracks at 10:00 PM.Do the contractors work during the night?
