krabby!
not sure this is the best brand name and marketing plan
or that there was a focus group….

going nowhere.
thought it might be interesting
to expose the cats to a bit of world geography
while sipping a refreshing drink.
so far they have refused to take any quizzes
but i’m confident they are learning by osmosis.

mugs.
met my dear friend at a recently reopened local diner
for breakfast and a long overdue catch-up
mid-breakfast she noticed the variety of cups they used
all from other sources
mine was covered with the logo of an alcoholic beverage
hers bore the name of a blood pressure/heart medication
luck of the draw, kind of like a fortune cookie
can make or break your whole day
we had a great laugh and talked about
how we both choose our morning mugs for coffee depending on our moods and needs
each morning we seek out and grab, without much conscious thought, the mug we need to start that day
do we reach for –
the inspirational-phrased mug, the heavy mug, the ego-boosting mug, the gift mug, sentimental mug, the deep thought mug, the light as a feather delicate china mug with the flora or fauna, art mug, clean mug, favorite place mug, photo mug, travel mug, joke mug, big mug, little mug, ironic mug, two-hands needed mug, favorite color – shape – size, ceramic, plastic, paper, metal, glass, unbreakable mug?
i knew we were friends for a reason.

please don’t ask for extra glasses.
it is my great pleasure to introduce you
to humor writer and fellow blogger Barb Taub’s latest book
PLEASE DON’T ASK FOR EXTRA GLASSES
it’s a rollicking tale of friendship, fun, travel to India adventure and misadventure
all taken with a tiny grain of salt and huge dose of humor
it’s a wonderful multi-cultural mashup of history, color photos,
travel tips, shopping advice, food suggestions, language and negotiation skills,
and chock full of ‘I wish we’d known that/what not to do lessons’
even if you never plan to travel to India, you’re sure to enjoy this read.

flamin’ hot!
not ‘my’ cheetos truck, but at least you can get a feel for it
—
driving home from school
behind a giant truck load o’ cheetos
and i thought ‘oh, man..’
couldn’t help but daydream
about what would happen
if the back doors blew open
and my favorite flamin’ hot cheetos
spilled everywhere
and i had to take home a car load of bags
just to help clean up the mess
and it might make me very happy at the same time.
who wouldn’t consider this, i ask you?

wobbly.
when i stopped by my favorite coney island restaurant to pick up a giant greek salad
(in detroit, coney dogs and greek food under one roof are a restaurant tradition)
something on their monday special sign stuck out
while the words ‘coney island’ were displayed on 3 signs all around it
and coney island is a part of the restaurant’s name
the special somehow became ‘cony‘ dog monday.
i know how hard it is to be your own editor
and i am easily amused
but it just struck me as really funny
that no one noticed
it’s the most popular item they sell.

say my name.
i recently made a new recipe
and
finally used my worcestershire sauce!
like finding an old friend
nothing had really changed
still can’t pronounce your name
still in that familiar bottle
how nice to bump into you
so long until i see you again
whenever that might be.
—
“i’m pretty sure 2020’s safe word was
worcestershire sauce
and we couldn’t say it right.”

which one of us is me?
