I've been up since 0330 hrs this morning, which is my own stupid fault, what with retiring at very early hour o' 2130 hrs last evening. I knew this would happen, but for some inexplicable reason I surrendered to the yawns and went down early. A lil over six hours later and Bing! Eyes wide open. I think nap time just might happen BEFORE Happy Hour today.
We've been in that sweet spot that comes twice a year, once in Spring and again in the Fall, said sweet spot bein' that time when we require neither AC nor heat. I love this time o' year mainly for the comfort that's in it but also for the fact my electric bill falls by nearly half, which is a significant savings. Well, all that is gonna come to a screeching halt by the middle o' next week. Note:
It's been nice while it lasted.
Occasionally I'll mention the fact there are certain things I miss about city living and here's yet another item: wonderful food delivered to your door, just for the asking. Case in point:
That's from an article titled "The Most Expensive Food You Can Order on GrubHub," which is food pr0n at its finest! Apropos o' not much, I used to order wonderful delivery-food about once or twice a week when I lived in SFO and had a myriad of choices. These days? Not so much, coz the only food establishments that deliver here in P-Ville bring me either pizza or sandwiches. Yup, I DO miss certain things about city living.
And finally... The First Mrs. Pennington turns 71 today. SN2 is out in Sandy Eggo doin' Navy things and plans to take a couple days o' leave and drive up to the ancestral home in Lompoc to surprise TFMP on her birthday. I'm thinkin' she'll like that... a lot. Happy Birthday, Ramona!

Looks tasty to me.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteMy next-door neighbor in New Orleans when I lived on General Taylor used to call wx like that "poor man's wx" lol.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor's thoughts definitely apply in my case.
DeleteWhat block of General Taylor?
DeleteI am envious of friends who can get food delivered. Out in the middle of the woods where we are we have 2 takeout choices - Italian or Chinese. And the Italian runs to subs/grinders, pizza and calzones. It's all good but no variety and we still have to go get it. Or plan ahead for the on-the-way-home-from-work-phone-call. Ah well, I think we can safely call this a "first world problem". :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we ALL have first world problems, don't we? ;-)
DeleteDropped synch. I was expecting to see a picture of food but all we got at this end was some spiky glop. Please resend. :)
ReplyDeleteHeh.
