Sorry for no posts yet today. I have, as they say, been doing other things. I'll try to scrape something up for this afternoon. Meanwhile, lunch awaits, a take-out from Western Sizzlin'. Oh, joy! But I ain't complaining. I didn't have to cook it, and I didn't even have to pick it up. Dear, dear Grandpère was kind enough to do the errand.
It's a beautiful spring day here, a little cool, a rare treat in our weather, which usually jumps from winter (such winter as we have) into warm or hot summer. I hear that it's 59 degrees in Panama City, Florida. Brrr... if you're on the beach in your swim suit.
Cheers!
Guess we need an unmoderated (guess we'll see how that one works soon enough, won't we?) "Chin Wag" thread, where the ladies can prattle on about pimento cheese, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteNo comment expected from you.
Enjoy, enjoy! Looks like Western Washington here--grey overcast. But the forecast for the weekend...wonderful.
ReplyDeletePS. Weather - amazing for S Carolina this time of year as well. Just over 70 F now (4:00 p.m.) and low 50's at night. Enjoying it while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I'm climbing slowly out from under a pile of student papers. I've read about 14 papers on the Brooklyn Bridge of widely varying quality.
ReplyDeleteAll I want to do is take a nap.
Good weather, dreary weather with good weather to come, weather is weather. It will do what it will do.
ReplyDeleteCounterlight, take a nap. You have my permission.
We've moved on from the Pimento Cheese, Lapin.
ReplyDeleteI saw the appalling post by Leonardo, Susan - but the thread as a whole is such a catch-all, dog's-dinner sort of thing. May be the idea is to demonstrate to us that we can't handle things without the guidance of a higher, controlling, all-knowing authority figure?

ReplyDeleteWhy are we discussing this here?

What's a Western Sizzlin' lunch all about?
Erika, it's a chain of "restaurants". Actually, my baked chicken dinner was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI have some thread to discuss the MP crisis if you want to comment there.
ReplyDeleteI like pimento cheese sandwiches. New Yorkers have never heard of them, the poor benighted barbarians.
Because an atmosphere of sanity is more conducive to discussion, Erika?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day here in the Bronx, too... just lovely. There are times even the Bronx smells good!
ReplyDeleteI see that this thread has morphed into my alternative to Facebook. Cool!
ReplyDeleteOK I'll pipe in. I've been reading all day. Started outside on the deck in my bathrobe where it was sunny and 60°. I'm ready Terry Eagleton's"Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate" It's wonderful Here are a couple of lines "Unlike Romanticism or New Ageism, they [Islamic radicalism and Christian fundamentalism] are movements of the masses, not just the doctrines of a disaffected minority. Religion here is less the opium of the people than their crack cocaine." I need to fix myself dinner before I post something on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI meant "reading" not "ready"
