10 – Oliver’s play happened this weekend!

It is indeed a horrible play as Neil Simon intended. All the performances and the kids were great. Oliver was terrific.

Oliver said he continued the Pardo family tradition of playing an old man opening a show. Jimmy did it in Anything Goes.

Walter came and saw closing night as well.

Jimmy feels like a rube over the weekend for his enjoyment of The Exorcist Believer.

40 – Mosquito talk!

It has taken decades of research, but scientists are close to working out why mosquitoes bite some people, and not others. It comes down to a complex trifecta of carbon dioxide, body temperature and body odour that makes some people more inviting to mozzies than others.

In the end, mosh pit etiquette can be summarized in one way: take care of each other. Treat others as you wish to be treated. If you’re in the mosh pit, mosh—or look for a way out. If you’re not in the mosh pit, don’t mosh. If someone falls down, help pick them up. Moshing is an opt-in activity.

Slash is probably one of the most famous Les Paul players in rock. He has a huge collection of Les Pauls, but his best known and best loved is actually a 1959 replica built by Kris Derrig. The guitar was bought for Slash by his manager in late 1986 for recording of Appetite For Destruction.

1h20m – Sona talks about her mom’s reaction to finding out Sona’s husband was Armenian when they first started dating. Her brother is a financial advisor. They could not be more different.

1h25m – Coke zero!

Sona talks her tea preference.

Ideally, tea should be offered to children above the age of five years. It is recommended for children aged 4-6 years old to not have more than 45 mg of caffeine in one day. This is the amount in a single, mild cup of tea, lesser in some teas if brewed well.

We’ll be right back!
