Coffee Crisis

I have an emergency here. I went to make coffee and the water I turned off! There was no warning about this from the building management. What do I do? Stand next to the sink until water starts coming out? Go back and check every 5 minutes which could mean going an extra 5 minutes […]

Streit Talk

I forgot to blog yesterday. When I miss a day it’s usually because of time management, I start and then get lost doing other things. Not yesterday, I never started; because of that I’ve been on two expeditions since I last wrote. Sunday’s expedition was to Stop & Shop for my Pesach needs. That just […]

Wet Potatoes

It’s only 10:23 and I’m starting to write! The small victories count, the lead to the big ones. How did Mr. Numbers Guy become so touchy feely? Easy they aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m still Mr. Numbers Guy. Numbers and hard facts take precedence. I don’t make judgments based on feelings, but it’s irrational to ignore […]

Bagels at Last

I have old business I forgot to write about. First, I got my stimulus direct deposit! Not only that but I got a personal letter from some guy whose handwriting was illegible but was ostensibly Donald Trump. He is jealous because four years ago I wrote about my daily emails from my close personal friends, […]

The Final Frontier

Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in years; I watched a space launch. It’s been almost 9 years since America last launched people into space. It felt so good to be back. I was born in 1957, the year of Sputnik. The Space Age is my age. I watched Alan Shepard’s launch when I […]

A Tale of Two Meals

Today will be a tale of meals and socializing. Yesterday I decided to splurge. My roommate and I ordered Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Combos and had them delivered. I know I love my cooking and I love to cook but this was a nice change of pace with no cleanup. I hate cleanup. The sandwiches really […]

Easter aka The Return of the King

Oh no, my therapy session is canceled for Good Friday. Now sure I could kill someone and win on an insanity defense, but I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll have to find another silver lining. I did; it gives me time to leave the house. I’ve been very good about isolating but I need […]

Chaos for Pesach

I have things to write about today. Is that enough or do you want the details? You guys are so demanding. Fine, I can’t say no to My Gentle Readers. Last night we had the Seder, so I had to prepare for Pesach (Passover). No, I didn’t burn the chametz. I still have plenty of […]

More Perfect

Blogging while minimalizing your time outside is not easy. I could write every day, I sat in my recliner and watched TV but that would soon get old. I do cheat and tell you what I ate and who I spoke to, or is that who I ate and what I spoke to? No, for […]

With the help of my intrepid partners we are posting links to upcoming streams. I was just posting links then Kristen arranged it so that we can add all FB events to our own event […]
