Oh, this will end well.

I love a Gin and Tonic but...

This might be taking it a bit too far!  I might want the book for Christmas though! 

Benefits of Lab Grown

I just read this, thanks to this, and I love it.  I love the idea of preserving wild species, and making meat more humane to eat!

ETAK

I just read this fascinating article.  Who knew that Asteroids and GPS systems have so much in common?!

Eat more tinned fish.  This is great news to me, although I do love salmon as well. 

I work hard at being calm and focused these days, among other work. And being bored. Letting your mind wander while away from all the stimuli - the way it used to, only thirty years ago - might be good for you

The joys of aging

As I get ready for tomorrow’s day of no solid food, I wonder … is it really necessary?  The answer of course is No

Chicken Stock

I love making chicken stock after we roast a bird. We keep a bag in the freezer with bits of onion, celery, carrots, chicken bits from other meals …. Today I think I‘m using much too much onion, especially red onion that I had salvaged from a cookbook club where I made onion soup. Let‘s see how this one goes!

love this article in the Atlantic …. Thinking about how we all want housing to be affordable, yet we assume we will make tons of $ because of our investment in a home. Great read.

My dog is 6 today! That‘s hard to believe, she has bursts of energy like a little puppy!

As a Pearl Jam fan … I’m so excited about the new album and the new tour! But first, and exciting weekend with my son at PAX East - I am very gratefull!

Four Years Ago Today

_March 11, 2020 Four years ago today, society began to shut down.

Shortly after noon Eastern on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid — or “the coronavirus,” then the more popular term — to be a global pandemic. Stocks plummeted in the afternoon. In the span of a single hour that night, President Donald Trump delivered an Oval Office address about Covid, Tom Hanks posted on Instagram that he had the virus and the N.B.A. announced it had canceled the rest of its season.

It was a Wednesday, and thousands of schools would shut by the end of the week. Workplaces closed, too. People washed their hands frequently and touched elbows instead of shaking hands (although the C.D.C. continued to discourage widespread mask wearing for several more weeks).

The worst pandemic in a century had begun._

Two Boston Things

1) If you want to play a zombie in Walking Dead, here’s your chance! 

2) The 10 Best Burgers in MA …. With #1 being Lewis’ in Norwood?  That’s a bit insane imho.

When your dining room table looks like this you had a good day.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve been here - let‘s see if everything still works since I‘ve rid myself of X/Twitter

Good morning Boston

Wow greetings from Quincy

Beautiful walk around Dedham, MA with my dog this morning

An interesting article in the New York Times, albeit a bit light on details it does a nice job discussing some of the big changes we’ve seen in medicine.
