That I’ve been thinking about on walks. And I guess this is mostly pop culture. I’m so shallow. Jack White is very tall. We watched him on SNL and the tallness was obvious. He may be the reincarnation of Jimmy Page (I know, I know, Page’s technically still alive), channeling Robert Johnson, and a hundred … [Read more…]
We risked travel while Wisconsin is the Corona virus hotspot of the country. We left Madison Monday afternoon. This is Tuesday morning in Door County. Supposed to be vacation, but I had a meeting and 2 online classes on Tuesday and another meeting on Wednesday. I’m happy to report that people are being very good … [Read more…]
What RBG is saying is everything I most believe in about Judaism, and why I light yahrzeit candles for my parents – it’s what you do here that counts, not the promise of the afterlife. I wanted to find the outro music but all it says on the website is “UNIDENTIFIED MUSICAL ARTIST: (Singing in … [Read more…]
So, I, like lots of other people now, have been having trouble sleeping – although I have not been a good sleeper since menopause, and normally get up every two hours. The problem now is that I often can’t fall back asleep, and when I do I often crash out hard for 15-30 minutes and … [Read more…]
So many dinners, and meals, and cleaning up – that I’m not taking pictures of – so many walks – that I’m not taking pictures of – so many online meetings – that I do have a few pictures of. Collections of (mostly) old people on zoom. I left off last Saturday when I baked … [Read more…]
So, food and pictures – what else can we do? Thursday I roasted a chicken and we ate chicken and mashed potatoes and peas with mushrooms & caramelized onions for dinner. Still using those onions from the pandemic risotto. I guess I left off in my last post right when I was putting the chicken … [Read more…]
Today I’ve been learning more things about Myrtle Beach. For starters, it’s huge. We’re in North Myrtle Beach, that’s the North Carolina end, and it stretches south into South Carolina for something like 60 continuous miles of beach. This morning on my walk I was trying to figure out some flowering shrubby trees. They look … [Read more…]
So this year is the first cookie season in a long time without the black cat, Ivy of our Holly & Ivy duo. She had to be put down in February. She was the smarter and more trouble-making one of the two, and she loved people food. She’d steal your egg off your plate if … [Read more…]
In the bike lane in traffic going home last night, next to an old guy in a convertible Audi with the top down, playing rap. The music had sampled strings in it so I guess that made it OK for an older audience. The biker in front of me was a young woman with glowing … [Read more…]
The jam cookies are done! and there’s a lot of them, 250+ My weight is up 1/2 pound. We went and got our wedding rings and the jeweler was mean to us. That’s smiley/frownie style – but (unfortunately?) I am a grownup, so I can’t leave it there. We had a gift certificate that had … [Read more…]
