I mostly find Nadal annoying but he plays so well and today's match was a total nail biter.
And check out the BBC's amusing commentary on the Murray/Jankovic vs. Bjorkman/Molik mixed doubles finals.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
New Yorker, child of one New Yorker and one New Englander here. I generally say an-tee, but sometimes switch over to ahn-tee without really noticing. Same thing with bath and bahth.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just say Aunt ____. I've never used "Auntie."

Non-mid-westerner, also pronounce it an-tee.
Our B&N is way the hell over yonder, so I can't go check it out until Wednesday. Am saddened by this. But, it's only a couple of days; I can tough it out. I was going to try to go today, but that didn't pan out at all.
Yikes. I have to throw a load of laundry in tonight, or things will not be pretty tomorrow.
ETA: Well, OK, I also say Aunt ____ like Cash. If I did say Auntie, it'd be an-tee.
ETAA: I sort of adore the "How do you pronounce X?" roll calls. It's very... comforting isn't the right word, but it's something like that.

I say "Auntie" for the aunts on my mom's side of the family (the New Englanders), and "Aunt" for my dad's side (the New Yorkers.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or does Boston actually lack restaurants that cater to vegans?
Well, Jen would be our resource on that question.
I don't know if there's a vegan-only restaurant, but there are plenty of good options where you can eat vegan. We ate at Dali's (the best tapas place I've ever been to) in Boston and Jen had many non-animal-exploiting dishes.
Also Indian and Thai are easy to get without vegan issues.

Lovely hearing the updates on Grace and Auntie paperdol. I'm almost glad (not quite) that Matilda had her one day in the NICU so I can imagine the scene.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jen K seems unamused by Boston's vegan options. (She had a lot of fun when she was in New York.)

There seem to be several vegan restaurants in Boston: [link]

She does seem to appreciate the true Vegan restaurants when she gets the chance.
Seems weird that Boston has none, though.
