Those HHW Vibes that worked for others never worked for me with that damned Ohio property and two greedy brothers, so I won't wish you healthy vibes, BK. I don't want to kill you.

What I will do instead is wish you healthy and wealthy days and that damned Covid virus far, far away from you.

I slept well for a while with Thatch and Annabelle beside me. I like this sleeping situation.

Then, around 12:30, Annabelle left the bed and never returned, and I spent too much of my waking time waiting for her return. I think she wanted to sleep in the new Amazon carton that arrivedyesterday afterenoon. Around 5:00 there was a crash; something fell or was knocked over by either Stella or Annabelle. I must go in search of the mess after kitty cleanup.

TOD
I break salads into two categories: sandwich and table, so here are my thoughts:
Sandwich: shrimp. tuna, chicken
    On my first trip to New York, Dec. 1966, I discovered the inexpensive Chock Full o' Nuts restaurant chain and fell in love with their shrimp salad.
Table: Cobb, tomato & mozzarella, Mexican, three-bean, macaroni, potato

Last night, I watched a 60-minute documentary about my friend choreographer Phil Chan, his friend ballerina Gina Pazcoguin, and their mission "Final Bow for Yellowface" (https://www.yellowface.org). The film is quite wonderful and moving, with lots of shots of the opening night cast of our ballet Star on the Rise at Indiana University.

It's really excellent.

Yes to any kind of salad. Coleslaw is s favorite because of the cabbage. Watermelon salad. Potato salad, as long as it’s homemade. A lettuce salad with plenty of veggies in it. I had an ice cream salad in Chile with avocado and celery ice creams. Greek village salad, aka horiatiki, is super delicious. Any type of seafood salad.

I just spent a frustrating hour wrestling three cans of Hunts tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes with a POS can opener. Are cans more difficult to open these days. This can opener has been failing me constantly so I need another. DRs, what do you use that is very good?

My mom is obsessed with this kind of a crank-type can opener:

DR ELMORE my can opener is similar to yours and it does have its ups and downs, so to speak.

The Good Cook Can Opener on Amazon looks nice and has good reviews.  The link is too long so I can't post it....but that should give you enough to search it there.

Its been  a LONG hot while since I drifted here. MOther nature, life changes, family issues,  health, and new explorations got in the way.

I am looking forward to Larry's book. I have managed to get a few poems and short stories published in the last few years. Its a surreal experience. Oddly enough, music is one of my inspirations. Sometimes, a germ of an idea while strike when you least expect it. I was pleasantly surprised when they were selected for publication.

I have also explored photography. I have always liked it and it was during the pandemic that really plunged me back in. I have had a couple of photos selected for photo galleries. I have also explore stereo photography. (Think back to the victorian age and the mode of entertainment. One picture is in 2d and the second one is 3d. It is a side by side parallell image and it can be freeviewed.

I'm having a real issue with these pills. I took pill one, ate the burgers five hours later, thought about taking pill two but can't remember if I actually took it. This is happening repeatedly - and I don't THINK I did take it. From now one, when I eat I will take the pill out of the bottle and put it where I can see it - that is the obvious solution. I'm taking one now and hope I didn't take it earlier.

Or you can ask for extra labeled bottles and split them up into morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever. Then when you take a pill, turn the bottle over.
