Who wouldn’t want to hang out with the Ciderboys?

masks – hecho en carolina

Posted on December 18, 2020 by | Leave a comment

They might not come in time for the holidays, but here is a reminder idea for those “seasonal” gifts.

Masks made locally by workers and designers here in North Carolina.

I just ordered a bunch. Shipping is the same charge per mask if you get them all sent to one place or sent directly to recipient, so you can keep placing orders that go where you want them to go rather than all to you.

ramen

Steamy lunch.

Ramen is best eaten directly from the pot, much like drinking cheap booze from a tin cup.

Ramen still steaming in the pot

I scored a cherry pie today at The Fresh Market.

I got cherry because I wanted something a little tart, just like me. 🍒

drink your life away

Posted on December 15, 2020 by | Leave a comment

My Facebook timeline is a parade of liquor ads this morning.

I can count of one hand the number of times in my life that I’ve gotten up and had a cocktail.

I might sometimes wake up and still be drunk from the night before, but generally I don’t wake up and have any hair of the dog.

As I’ve gotten older, my body has become less tolerant of alcohol, so I’m more careful than ever. Tying one on like I was in my 20’s again would probably put me on life support.

Remedies: coffee, 7Up, comfort food.

all the news fit to print

Posted on December 15, 2020 by | Leave a comment

I wake up, hit the browser for news, see a headline, and think to myself, “there’s yet another whole cloth fabrication by the New York Times.”

It turns out to be true for once, so I changed my morning mental chant to, “even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

nice corporate holiday card

Posted on December 13, 2020 by | Leave a comment

That feeling when a corporate holiday (#waronchristmas ) card is actually nice. #chewy 🎄👍

On the other hand, AT&T sends the same old worthless promotion disguised as a Christmas card on the outside. Pathetic. #att 🙄
