Jay Leno will no longer coruscate the set of the Tonight Show. NBC can find a more accommodating comic who will not bash theOne with funny jokes. Leno bowed out for the second time last night saying "I don't like goodbyes, NBC does."

Rise and shine, class is in session. Homework on the blackboard, apples on my desk.

Chorus-gate?

Oh my. What’s Eric Holder done now?

[tioga]

Ha, ha. A+++

[tioga]

Will be getting my final crown this morning. YEAH!

[secret garden]

The only coruscation out there is the ice in the water bowls and on the surface of the pool, if we can coax the sun to come out from behind the clouds today.

[tioga]

Good luck. It’s -1 here. A+++

In Sochi, the venue doth coruscate
But Russia is still such a horror state
In building the venue
Much graft on the menu
Corruption has led to a “Boris-gate”

[MrB]

For the life of me, I don't know how they do that in skates...

[secret garden]

Good luck today! We have a dentist in town who makes crowns on the spot in his office. I'm sure it costs more, but what a convenience! We may go to him next since our current dentist may have some Parkinson's starting.
And in current events, it depends on what kind of inequality gets you the votes.

The snow storm delayed delivery of my crown and they just called to cancel. Dang blasted winter snowstorms....that white stuff is a pain in the @$$.

[tioga]

Yellow water that you cannot bathe in because it burns your skin? Electric ground to bathtub fixtures? OMGosh. They aren’t incompetent, they are evil. A+++

[xsmommy]

That is the most star-crossed tooth on the planet!

[tioga]

The ice and the blades just coruscate the dance move. Did you mean to use the word?

[MrB]

I thought I did!

Choruskate!

[tioga]

I KNOW. I was in the shower when the call came in, I have to calm down a bit before calling them back to reschedule. Perhaps they will get it in the mail today and call ME back. I haven’t even spoken of the crown for fear of jinxing it.
That didn’t work out so well.

[tioga]

LMAO A+++

We just made dinner reservations at Turning Stone for Saturday May 10, which is grad weekend. There are 9 restaurants, only 4 appear to take reservations and two of the four were completely sold out. We wanted 7 pm but the only available time at the steakhouse was 5:15. Peach Blossom had 7 pm but luckily I scrolled down to see its Asian/Thai so that’s a no go. The guys will golf and we will explore the Destiny mall. I think I mentioned that a friend whose daughter graduated UVA last yr told me that you literally have to make lodging reservations a year out from graduation. We did and nabbed the last available rooms at the Hampton inn. Turning Stone, the Sheraton etc were all sold out. SU is not a huge factory school, not even as big as Pitt, but there just aren’t that many places to stay I guess. Thank God for my friend bc if you were hapless and tried calling the month or so before grad you are gonna be sol.

It’s out here. Quite beautiful with all the iced over trees and stuff coruscating in the sunshine.

While I’m sure its possible to get a room in pittsburgh closer to graduation, xshub told one of his employees about it and her daughter is at Pitt and graduating this year. She called that same day last May and was shut out of Oakland.
