Writer's Block (of cheese)

I think we should write a cookbook.

Socrates Club: Comfort Food

Socrates Club: Food

So this is the 5th discussion this month on food. We simply must get someone else to set the agendas. Dougal seems preoccupied.

So . . . food. This morning we were discussing comfort food. The very core of our being can be comforted by a food familiar to us from our childhood. Something that ALWAYS tastes right.

There was a vote for a McDonald's Cheeseburger or Filet of Fish.

Someone else said, Chocolate Milkshake and fries OR hot fudge sundae

Three votes for Macaroni and Cheese and then I reminded them of Tuna Casserole, which we haven't had in a very long time . . . . and there were many oooooos and aaahhhhs . . .

That's the power of tuna casserole.

Tuna Casserole. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tuna

Being old and wise.

I know that I am old and wise, but I do not understand things sometimes.

I know what I experience. What I see. What I hear. What I feel . . . .

I remember.

Sometimes I get in conversations and it's like I'm the only person talking, that what I'm talking about never happened . . . and I am unsettled.

I know I am old and wise . . . but I am not senile yet.

My stomach hurts this morning. Maybe this old and wise thing is for the birds.

cold spring day

I am very sad inside today.

~~sigh~~

Nobody has been home and it's lonely.

~~sigh~~

I don't feel loved.

~~sigh~~

I don't feel cherished.

~~sigh~~

I don't even feel real today.

~~sigh~~

It is hard to love . . . because when they forget about you . . . you are so very very much alone.

snow!

It is snowing today.
~~heavy sigh~~

It's supposed to be spring.
Daylight savings time has begun . . . and we still have snow.

I am discouraged.

We found out this weekend that my older brother is 80 years old. So that makes me 76. I don't really feel that old. At least not on most days.

I do feel old some times.
