"Ya know," I sez to The Shish because I've been listening to the soundtrack from Guys and Dolls and I've started to talk funny. "If we get everything we're after, we're gonna have to lose some of what we've got, no?"

Last night at our traditional board of directors meeting, for one trustee? Manna actually fell from the sky.

Okay, it wasn't officially manna, it was more like ENRICHED BLEACHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), UNSALTED BUTTER (CREAM [FROM MILK]), CREAM CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK AND CREAM, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, CAROB BEAN, XANTHAN GUM, GUAR GUM), CHEDDAR CHEESE, PASTEURIZED WHOLE EGGS, SALT, SEASONED SALT (SALT, SUGAR, SPICES [INCLUDING PAPRIKA AND TUMERIC], ONION, CORN STARCH, GARLIC, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE [ANTI-CAKING AGENT], PAPRIKA OLEORESIN [FOR COLOR], NATURAL FLAVOR, SOY LECITHIN), ANCHO CHILI POWDER and CHILE DE ARBOL POWDER but please don't tell Grantley because I want her to keep believing that once in a while, if you stay open without giving up that tiny internal twinkling glimmer of hope? Good things can and do, just completely fall out of the sky.
