“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.” ~~ Ernest Hemingway

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” ~~ Leo Tolstoy opening line of Anna Karenina
Not read Anna Karenina… perhaps a little long for the modern reader, but a wonderful work of literature.

Several months ago a group of us old fogeys went to a local comedy club here in St. Louis. The reason we went was that the niece of one of the gentlemen in the group was the opening act. She was reasonably funny with many of her comedic stories stemming from the 13 years she spent teaching on the South Side of Chicago.
The headliner was a black man (for the sake of me I cannot remember his name) married to a red headed white woman. They have a couple of biracial children. I mention that as a good part of his act was edgy racial humor centered on his personal life situation. At some point, not sure how he segued to the subject, he got onto old white folks and Continue reading “New Balance, The New “IN” Sneaker”
Robert Reich nails it again…
One of my brothers used this word in a group text recently. At the time I did not know the meaning, and little ole OCD me had to look it up. Probably because I am now aware of it, the word has popped a few times in my readings and conversations. Are you stalking me schadenfreude?

So… just desserts – karma – or just bad execution? But either way the video cracked me up… but it does make you think. Sorry.
One common theme or fantasy is what superpower a person would want and what they would do with it. Frequently the superpower is the ability to fly like Superman, but not infrequently it is the ability to be invisible. Then the question becomes what to do with your invisibility.
I watched a YouTube video in Spanish of a person doing interviews in the street about the question of superpowers. It seemed like a lot of folks who chose invisibility had ideas on how to use their invisibility that were less than ethical.
I will have to admit with some of the jobs I have had, I would not have been too far behind this guy into the safe… ethical or not.
My post from February 2020 on this theme: My Superpower
It is tough be human… and so it goes.

Ever feel like life is one big ad lib performance, and somehow you missed the set up line and went off on an unrelated tangent? Ever?

Tis a subject of which I have touched on in the past, the fact that our feet tend to enlarge as we age. For most of my adult life I wore a size 10 or 10 1/2 shoe. I am not remembering exactly when, but at some point that changed to 10 1/2 or 11 size shoes, with the occasional cowboy boot checking in at 11 1/2.
One would think that the same style within a brand would have a consistent size over time. I started wearing New Balance’s 990s running shoes a while back because they are mostly “Made in America”. I have several pairs, that are different colors, that are dedicated to different uses. I have one pair that I wear only in the gym, another pair that are my daily walkers, and so forth. New Balance updates Continue reading “Size 12, Myself”
