Forbidden Flavors

 I’m spending the afternoon here with Jenny & Tony.  I’m having the Pina Colada Milkshake.

FF is on 18th street.

While there, I got a scam call.  The number was (204) 596-8690.  An East Indian voice telling me that customs was holding a suspicious parcel addressed to me.  They were going to give me a tracking number but thankfully, I didn’t have a piece of paper and was so discombobulated by this that they hung up on me.  Only after did I realize I had almost been scammed.

Did I line FF?  I would have but I keep getting interrupted.

Francesco Guicciadarni on Physicians

 I came upon this passage from the author’s (I don’t want to type his name again) reflections just now.  The passage seems relevant for this moment in history.

Wednesday Vegetable Shopping with the Hutterites

 I forgot to publish these photos at the time. Better late than never.

These people are like the Hamish with a colony somewhere out in the countryside.  My wife Jenny really likes buying their produce.

Friday 7:20 AM

 

I overslept again this morning.

News of an invasion in Spain.  This news affects me because, as rare readers may know, I am on a platform that allows me to speak with people in Spain.

In the morning, if I’m on the ball, I empty the watch catcher in the dehumidifier, give Smooch some cat food or whipped cream, eat some breakfast and pray..

Lunch with Weiming Zhao

 We were at the Sushi Hut.  First time to go to a Sushi Restaurant since……

China!

A good time was had by all.  Conversation was far ranging.  I now have to search for a biography of the evangelist Billy Graham because, lime me, he married a Jiangsu girl.

Wei Ming is very busy will commissions.

Recently, I took a cruise on Clear Lake and this blog, I published a photo of the boat we took. The painting I published of the boat had been painted by Wei Ming earlier that day.

I kicked myself for not having asked the skipper of the boat, the Martisse, where it had been built and how it was taken to Clear Lake.

Wednesday 8:30 PM

 It’s a storming out there.

Nice to see Fauci getting grilled.  The son of bitch pleading the fifth and hiding behind a bevy of lawyers.

Wednesday 12:05 PM

 

I did get up early this morning so I could make some money, but I was a little rushed and so I didn’t take the standard obligatory mandatory view photo. With deep and humble regretting, I humbly and profusely apologize for this oversight.  I hope no one was inconvenienced by my grave and heinous misstep that was truly committed by me and not anybody else.

I also apologize for this overwordy apology.

You can go pound sand if you are expecting monetary compensation.

I lead a curiously distracted life with peculiar dangers, the worst of are my eccentricities.

 He who sleepeth all the morning may go a begging all the
day after.

A few people I know should heed this.

2376

 I’m sitting in the basement, waiting for a Twenix class.  I’ve had one already this morning. I learned about the famous football academy in Barcelona and the Catalan custom of human towers:

Why can’t they do this in Brandon?

The Red Lion Bar in Wuxi is experiencing drama.  The Australian founders say they were pushed out; the Chinese partners say the Ozzies left with all the money.

Big news from Wuxi for Wuxi Expats

 My son had his first job there.

I spent many an evening there.

I suppose it had to come to an end some time.  Stewart, I believe, had no intention of spending his last days in China.
