H is right out, as those cookies actually have the appelation Nillas (from vaNilla, obviously) - we have a box in our pantry cupboard. all of the other def'ns are quite good..

I'm going to go against Occam this time and choose number E.

It's beginning to look more and more like E is the one and the vanilla cookies got their demasqué. Well, I did not expect it was thàt obvious.

But Aloof Ciud Chow has telephoned me from the East and asked me to vote for him, as his computer went down yesterday. And it's B

results will be out before the weekend.

Cocoa nibs, is it? Funny, I thought nibs were what the ink comes out of my pen. If it's cocoa (or cacao) nibs maybe they write brown letters?

I'm going to buck the E trend and spend some Greek-sounding coins. That puts me on the D train, I guess. Wake me up at 205th Street and Bainbridge Avenue; I'll take the bus the rest of the way home.

Does that mean you live in Yonkers? In HS, I used to run track at Van Cortlandt Park. I've since moved to Rhode Island. Years later, my sons ran XC there once or twice a year.

Two little unclarities:
@Wofa, you chose F. Is going to take the D train just a figure of speech or are you sneaking in a second vote?

@Candy, you think it's G but you like A and have a feeling of doom
hanging over your head. I understand, but what's the choice here? Is there?

Oops. I guess that shows my lack of commitment to either one. It wasn't meant to be a second choice, but it was one anyway. I hereby rescind it. F it is. (Sometimes a D is only a train. Or should be.)

And no, not that far north. My bus goes up Bainbridge Avenue to Montefiore Hospital and I get off at Gun Hill Road, then walk the last four blocks to Knox Place, just across Jerome Avenue. Van Cortlandt Park is just on the other side of Gun Hill Road.

You can still find all these places on Google Maps. I'm not sure you can find the bus line, though, because all of this was [cringe] 60 years ago. [/cringe]

Eh! :-) So that was just a brief flirtation with a snake?

"With a close second for D." I understood this as being the second choice if there would be one.

Then D it will be. (Poor snake, that snake will catch up with you sooner or later)
