Life is too short to be bored by dinner….

Don’t know about anyone else, but I am sick to death of the ad placements on the web.  One clicks on a  site, tries to go to the opening line and what you see jumps around all over the place while ads slowly appear – one by one – in strange places.  The time for things to settle down varies greatly and I for one give them just a few seconds to provide the site I was looking for. After that. Bam.  To hell with it.

I think the ad men are getting overzealous in their greed and are not stopping to realize that what they are doing, in fact, is annoying the customer.  From where I sit, that’s not too bright.

MENU FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 16, 2017

Life is too short to be bored by dinner….

Over the years that we’ve posted our menus I have deliberately avoided any comment of a political nature.  My focus has been the food, not the political outlooks of the various people reading this.

Sadly, I have felt it necessary to say what I believe as loudly and as often as I am able. Despite the good food, there is a pit at the bottom of my stomach that simply will not go away.  I guess too many of us said too little for too long.  No longer.

At my age, I am no longer able to March on Washington (I have), but I strongly support these women – and anyone else standing up for decency, human rights and the United States Constitution.

When Virginia moved in with me, late summer of 1980, her mail of course started coming to my house and she of course saw what came to me. 

She was supporting The Gay Men's Health Crisis, I was supporting NARAL.  As it was in the beginning ...   wwj
