• It's just not a party until there's a fire in the oven, the alarm system triggers and the security company calls. @calamita #
• Mmmmm, tasty. http://t.co/nmtI4zMx #
• Remember the Great Oven Fire of 2012? Those were the days! @calamita #
• @nguarracino Everything from that oven ended up with a subtle smoky flavor. 🙂 Also, no one seemed to be able to shut off the alarm. in reply to nguarracino #
• Watching Taxicab Confessions on HBO GO. Wondering how many completely boring/banal rides they have to film to get one really interesting one #
• Re Taxicab Confessions- Interesting article, but just as interesting is the fact that there's a taxi driver with a blog http://t.co/GYee3egy #
• Last day of Yankees spring training. It all begins again Friday! #IBelieveInTheChurchOfBaseball #BullDurham #
• All of a sudden I'm seeing lots of talk about "Dire Wolves". Guess it's a Game of Thrones ref, but I keep thinking of the Grateful Dead song #
• What's got two thumbs and a clean, uninfected Mac? This guy! #
• @calamita At least she's looking for oncoming traffic. 🙂 in reply to calamita #

• @nguarracino @cbassV Also IndyCar: new Chevy/Honda/Lotus turbo engines. And Rubens Barrichello. Sadly, no Dan Wheldon. in reply to nguarracino #
• @nguarracino @cbassV Forgot about him – definitely interesting. Guess NASCAR wasn't his cup of tea. Still waiting for the GP of Weehawken. in reply to nguarracino #
• @cbassV @nguarracino Think the race is at 1:30 AM Sunday morning on Speed. (live from Melbourne) Fire up your DVR! in reply to cbassV #
