Friday. Sunny and warm. The windows are open in my office so the cats can get some fresh air, but I’ll be closing them before I go out to the chiropractor’s appointment and the grocery.
Breakfast was cream cheese on a bialy, and grapes. Not thinking about lunch, yet. Maybe I’ll grab something at the store.
Yesterday was Steve’s birthday. He would have been 75. Lis Carey did a nice write-up about him for File 770 (scroll down to #7). Many thanks to Kathryn Sullivan for the pointer.
We here at the Confusion Factory had a quiet day, doing the work of the house. I took a break in the afternoon to go to the Farmer’s Market.
Today, as noted, I have a doctor’s appointment and need to stop at the grocery to take on weekend supplies, as well as performing one’s duty to the cats. My long-term plan on the day is to take my work with me after lunch and go downtown, where I may be fortunate enough to find a parking space, and work until 5, when First Friday, err, opens, and then attend the festivities. There is said to be music and art and other such pleasures on offer. I have never been to a First Friday, ref “parking” above.
And that’s the news from here.
What’s the news from there?
Today’s blog post title from my favorite Beatles’ song, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Nothing as interesting as your First Friday. Shopped and found the advertised price on my favorite tzatziki was moot, since they still did not have any of that brand (this has been more than a couple weeks). Back home and giving in to the muscle aches that apparently are part of the current summer flu (not covid, I checked) by heading back to bed for a nap. Hoping for a family barbecue tomorrow night, followed by an in-house movie.
Do other people notice the gender swap at the end of the song? I suspect it’s just there as a joke, but it always did well by my spirit to have it in there. Work and a Movie, since it was a Friday. Early to bed. Should be a good weekend. May do a boat tour on the Erie Canal?
