who bothers to cook TV dinners? i suck them frozen. – woody allen
happy national tv dinner day!
so much fun and so easy!
on christmas 1968, the apollo 8 crew feasted almost just like home on frozen tv dinners. mini bottles of brandy were included but they opted out to play it safe – no space hangovers, and left them unopened.

i think the universe is pure geometry – basically,
a beautiful shape twisting around

“though she be but little, she is fierce!” – william shakespeare
behold the bounty that is my late summer harvest!
even if it is all miniature
it’s the first time
i’ve ever grown a vegetable
in my entire life
and so
it’s all perfect and i’m perfectly happy.
fairy-sized or not.

comfort.
we lie around
on a rainy afternoon
listening to the radio
to hear
one of us
a first-time storyteller on npr
as she shares with the nation
her bittersweet tale
there are 11 people of all ages
4 dogs of all shapes
with all
the food, drinks, games
and
good cheer
we could possibly need
and no timeline or agenda
on this long lazy weekend
all tucked in together
in 1 cozy house
on 1 pretty lake
and all that
equals
1 huge level of comfort.

it is one of the blessings of old friends
