It went fine. I don't think they were happy that I went over chapter 1 on the first day. But it's a coordinated class, and the other classes went over the chapter. At least they got out early.
hehehe TMI = too much information
They are relatively new shoes. I've only worn them a couple of times. I wanted to wear a different pair that I knew wouldn't cause blisters, but the weather people were predicting rain today and the shoes are a suede-like material. I want to wear them to my class reunion, so I can't risk ruining them before Saturday. LOL!
Did they forget they have to pay money to be there?
Thanks !

They might have.

This is the footprint made by a waffle-sole athletic shoe. In 1972, William Bowerman, one of the founders of Nike, Inc. and former track coach of University of Oregon, invented the waffle-like sole. Before this, atheletes can only choose between heavy spiked and flat shoes. Waffle-like soles are light-weight and provide traction. These shoes became popular in the 1970s.

Happy Waffle Day!
Happy Waffle Day to you too!
It's thundering and lightninging (spelling?) out now...and its really loud. I think the worst of the storm is right over me now, so I better go offline for a while. I'll talk to you later. Have a good rest of the day!
Who REALLY Invented The Ice Cream Cone?
And if you thought the invention of the sundae was confusing, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Many histories proclaim that the ice cream cone was invented in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair (the Louisiana Purchase Exposition), when Syrian immigrant Ernest Hamwi gave some of his “zalabia” (a waffle-like pastry) from his pastry cart to neighboring Arnold Fornachou, who had run out of paper dishes to serve his ice cream in at his adjoining ice cream cart at the fair. Another version has Hamwi teaming up with a different ice cream vendor named Charles Menches, who also ran out of dishes.
Well, wait…yet another vendor named Abe Doumar said he created the cone and sold it nightly at the fair. Hang on…fair vendor David Avayou said the same thing, claiming he knew of “cones of pastry” from France. All in all there were about 50 ice cream vendors and more than a dozen waffle stands at the fair, so it’s very likely there were several vendors selling some version of an ice cream cone. Certainly, the cone became universally popular after this date. Despite the number of claimants, most ice cream experts and associations give the credit to Hamwi (see why below).
But - let us seriously consider Italo Marciony (also spelled Marchioni and Marcioni)– who claimed he created the ice cream cone on September 22, 1896! He sold his cones from a pushcart in New York City, and his claim may be the best, since he had a patent for a waffle mold, granted in December, 1903, eight months before the St. Louis Fair! His invention was “…like a waffle iron and producing several small pastry cups with sloping sides.” I have a copy of it courtesy of Anthony Gullo of Hoboken, NJ, who also provided me with more about this fascinating, and little known inventor...

Thank you.
You too! C ya tomorrow!
In the heat of the night, back in 1964, Mrs. Bellissimo developed a sauce that has created a national, make that international, sensation. The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York is the undisputed home of the Buffalo Chicken Wing. Frank & Teressa's Original Anchor Bar Buffalo Wing Sauce is the sauce that has taken the humble chicken wing from local reviews to national acclaim. (Has a marketing tone to it, doesn't it?)
Ride the Wing! Can the can! No waffling here!
Thank You.
Hi everybody!
Thanks for the words of wisdom, Mayor.
Oh my, this is awesome, Oesy. Excellent job, LOL
Hey, congratulations, Tulip! You did good.
