OMG, we could Zoom the Pearly Gates!

I’m definitely in!

Also, to clarify, it was my two knees that had a total of five repairs. Sue’s knees are just fine . 😊

My partner and I (total age, 140+) are calling it Advanced Middle Age. Total mood changer!

After five knee surgeries, my first question at the Pearly Gates will be “Who the hell did g*d subcontract the knee to??” (The second question is likely to be “Where the hell are the Pearly gates…??))

In all seriousness, I think you could host a salon regularly. Do it as a potluck, we’ll all come!

Okay, how did two people wind up with five knees? And a salon sounds good but probably not worth the travel expense. Should we do one online? Call it The Pearly Gate and discuss Hermann Hesse long enough to establish a rep for weirdness, then switch to gossip and recipes? I like this.

I've never baked it, but I know Trader Joe's has bags of raw pizza dough ready to spread and bake. With yeast, I presume.

I replied earlier on my cell prior to realizing I can't reply on my cell, but you may have gotten an email. Anyway, thanks for the tip. There's no TJ's anywhere near where I live in a part of Boston so far south it's practically in Rhode Island, but I'll find one and try the dough.

Thank you for this intelligent, optimistic (!), négative (!), and full of humor text.
