Nice Plate of Joe

Gainesville

Tonight I made a dish irresistably named "Joe." I won't go into Joe's pedigree, but this low-cal version was ground beef, onion, garlic sauteed with chopped spinach and 5 eggs. Quite a remarkable one dish meal, and very quick and easy. We ate early, even. Definitely a keeper.

The other avocado was perfectly ripe today, and even nicer than the first one. Sliced it up with some more of the Campari tomatoes, dash of olive oil, salt & pepper. A lovely salad.

Got bills written and towels changed and laundered. Also got some long-overdue editorial work done.

I too slept poorly last night, Mom, and was still awake at dawn. Obviously in no shape to go into the Libe today. Will try again tomorrow, as there is yet another retirement party, this one for Lawan, the very sweet person who badgered me into making a presentation for the Library of my comics work, and did the logistics to make it happen.

Glad to hear you are making a start on getting back into routines. But remember: BABY STEPS! Just the start is enough. You have a tendency to want to do it all at once, and then burn out. Just do your most basic daily routines, and only them, for a week or two before trying to do more.

Yes, I've been following the Bruce news closely. He's not coming any closer to Florida than DC. Both St. Paul and Oakland are tempting, and if it weren't for the fact that flying these days is such a horrible ordeal, I'd probably try to make one or both of them. Most likely I'll gamble that he'll hit Atlanta and/or Tampa/Orlando once he's back from Europe early next year.

Of course, I downloaded "Radio Nowhere" immediately, and after only two listens, have it stuck on constant rotation in my brain. Like getting a letter from a friend who's been out of touch way too long. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, Magic, that some are calling "Darkness II."
