And now, what do I do?

So we are now about one month into our new environment, life in seniorville.  All the stuff is put away and storage items and concepts are completed, really too many to list and not that interesting.  I am starting to cook again and seem to revel in the process.  My wife has no interest in the particulars only (hopefully) enjoying the result.  Ours is an orderly household and after 40 plus years, I am getting used to it and quite comfortable in the structure.

I befriended a man at our location that is brilliant and creative that conducts a chaotic life with a history that spans coast to coast and considerable time periods.  He ministers to different groups not flying under one particular flag.  I am in agreement with him placing a large importance on face to face communication and sharing thoughts.  He, like all of us that are honest, has made lots of mistakes.  I like him because he is flawed, but seems to embrace the chaos.  He gives me a lot to think about and revisit after we get together.  Many of the concepts he presents I am still trying to figure out.  No longer being much of a believer,  I am listening. 

We attempted to make soup in his apartment, me instructing in knife technique and cook timing.  I think the outcome was good and after the flavors develop, it will be and enjoyable concoction.  After our culinary escapade, he is preparing words for a talk to be given this Sunday at some house of worship.  We discussed forming a men's discussion group because men need to develop connections though conversation.  I am in with this idea.

Also met a grandma with purple highlights in her hair that drives a late model black Camaro.  I thought it belonged to somebody's visiting grand son.  Boy, was I wrong.

Planning on doing more cooking today, sweet potato/carrot/walnut muffins and another pot of sauce (or gravy) of your from the east.

Still pissed and outraged at Trump's antics and the damage he is causing our country and the betrayal of our allies.  And still there are incarcerated children at our borders.  With all that is going on, lets not forget that, 


all for now
