Not much of a day. Had California Chicken Cafe - 1/2 chicken, all white, sorry chickens of color. Not a good day for them - not terrible, just a bit underdone even though they now have a "well done" or "juicy" choice. Perhaps they mis-saw what I chose.

I felt funny asking Kerry's partner for the mixer. He did ask me what in the house I wanted. The mixer sits on my counter and I use it quite a bit. So I think of him a lot. It was such a blessing to have been able to call him a friend.

My Birding Buddy and I went north today. We stopped at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican food place for chilaquiles.

I am sure he was glad you asked and could give it to you.

  It was four years ago that we lost DR Kerry. 

Thank you for reminding us, DR Laura.

Bryan invited Keith & Craig while we were there.  He got money because we joined and then everyone gets money back when we use it to pay.  There was some game going on and they had fun trying to win little critters or something.  Keith kept trying to get an extra fox to send to Bryan.  The game is over but we continue to use his phone to pay when we are out.

To test using it directly from his phone to order online he purchased a number of puzzles for Freyja.

The April full moon is the "pink" moon, and tonight it's a super moon, too. The moon will be at its fullest tonight at 11:32PM Eastern.

Just went out. It's quite lovely. 20 minutes from prime time.

You should not feel funny asking for that. I'm sure you think of Kerry every time you use it, which makes it that much more special. And you do use it. It's not there gathering dust.

Mom asked if there's anything else I wanted from the house in Louisville, and I asked for her mixer, even though I have one.

Good book news.

Indeed. Looking forward to seeing this one in print. Well, I say about all of them, and I do feel that way.

I'm now reading a mystery called Fire on the Island. It's set on a Greek isle. It involves a gay Greek-American FBI guy investigating a series of fires on a depressed island near Turkey that's being overrun with refugees. It's not as good as it could be. But the writer might be better in a couple of books. His structure is a little off, and some of the scenes are overwritten. He could take a few lessons from BK on being leaner, with a sharper focus and without throwing in everything including, seriously, a kitchen sink.

I didn't see the moon, but I did see a rainbow earlier!

Well, the annual HOA meeting went pretty well.  We all sat outside under cover (it did start to rain for a bit, but not too much), and we were all somewhat distanced.  We learned about the amount of money in the coffers, and the projects that the board wants to do, and other assorted bits of info, and then it ended.

It was probably the shortest meeting in quite a few years, but it was a good meeting.

After I left, I saw someone moving into an apartment, and it turns out that it was my friend (and former condo property manager) Shelly!  It turns out that her father died about a month before mine. :( She had been living with and taking care of him for the last couple of years, and now that their house sold, she was able to rent an apartment here from a friend of hers who owns a unit here as a rental.

So, we chatted for about an hour (which was not unusual for us in the past :) ), and we'll be able to get together more often again.

An apartment?  I thought you bought a condo.

KING 5, one of our network affiliates, just had a new report on Earthquakes off of the Washington coast.  They used to say that we would be affected by the tsunamis here in Puget Sound.  Now they say that we will have tsunamis anywhere from 3.5 feet and 14 feet.
