Cotswold is a creamy English, cheddar (sweeter than ours) like cheese.

I will have to look for it. It sounds good.

Have only written a page so far. I'm just at that point where I'm trying to get to the final three chapters - and keep everything interesting until I do. I've got about five or six pages to do before getting to the beginning of everything falling into place for the protagonist. Once that happens, it should hopefully be fairly easy sailing to the end, which I'm now about forty-five pages from.

You know someone named Gorgonzola?

I know a Piazzola (well, not personally).

I wasn't aware lead is still used in paint.

It seems it is in China!

Manufactured in: China

Remedy: Consumers should immediately take the recalled bracelets away from children and discard them.

Considering that lead toxicity is cumulative, this is not an idle warning! That said, how many consumers who drop quarters into mall vending machines to get the kiddie a trinket read about these recall alerts!

i wasnt aware either that it still was. I know some older houses in the area still have lead paint but I thought it had to be removed.

Fed law requires notification of hazzard to potential buyers/renters - not removal!

I used to be afraid of cheese, but I have been discovering some that I can handle without regurgitation lately. Swiss cheese or provolone is most edible if melted on a sandwich- especially if there is bbq sauce in the equation. String cheese is always acceptable.

What are some of the cheeses that you cannot handle...the ones that cause regurgitation?

Not in the U.S.

Not in residential buildings. There are still industrial uses and any artist can order it on-line:

(Which means artisan arts and crafts might still contain lead-based paints!)

Re: red lead -- As a primer, yes.

I was thinking primarily of housepaint in my comment above. I thought, however, that lead-based paint was regulated as to its uses...it certainly isn't supposed to be used in china, or serving ware, or anything like toys. Jewelry ought to be a no-no, since it's intended to contact the skin.

Perhaps it's not considered as dangerous as asbestos.

Hmmmm. . . . for the first time since I've had DSL, I had a momentary problem getting on-line. I don't know what the problem was. I restarted the computer and things were back to normal, but it was weird there for a minute.

Meanwhile, some other names being bandied out for Broadway in the next year, sources say, include Pacino himself and the new James Bond, Daniel Craig. The word is that Craig and Nicole Kidman are shopping for something they can do together.

Anway, I had a nice afternoon of viewing.

I began with the last episode of THE WILD WILD WEST on disc 2: "The Night of the Bottomless Pit." It was an OK adventure with a very fey villain this time. Among the guest stars were Tom Drake, Steven Franken, and Mabel Albertson, the latter wasted in only two brief scenes.
