On our last visit to NJ we went to great nephew Kennan's basketball game. There were patient coaches and the parents had not yet grown into the unreasonable folks they might become the longer their kids stay in organized sports. Anyway, he is cute little guy with a never ending smile that is infelicitous (oops a bad word here).
Planning a few more fact times today to stay connected. However, its not like being there. We finished a good period series on PBS last night called Beecham House. The is a British/Indian piece taking place in the 1800's. Its worth a look.
Fighting with myself to not go to the grocery store today. Our governor wisely tells me it can wait. Its one of the few normal things one can go out and do. I am a food guy. I love to scan the shelves and coolers for new things I can make and for new ideas for meals. Really don't mind the crowds and occasionally have a socially distanced conversation with another shopper. In the main, men are more talkative, probably a gross generalization.
We logged mileage at the Madison Heights Nature Center yesterday with the dogs. I am always bringing up the rear of the parade, never being able to keep up with my wife or anyone else for that matter. Its difficult to persuade Harry to have manners not antagonizing the other passing pooches.
Gave Katey some soup that needed seasoning. Made a couple of flops lately, this flat soup and a mixture of roasted olives, nuts and a bulb of garlic. Thought it could be a spread, run thru the processor, boy was I wrong. Have and actual recipe for granola which is today's project.
I find that a projects are needed to get through this isolation. Whether its completing a book or learning something new on the iPad, it is a plan. But in truth, I miss human contact and long for its return.
all for now
stay safe
