Our eldest kid, back home after 4 yrs at Mt Holyoke -- You know, I really miss Dunkin
Me -- We've got Dunkin here now
Kid, quiet & wistful -- It's not the same
Youth 0-36
Middle Age 37-72
Old Age 73-108
This is science, and the science behind it is:
In 2nd grade during the US Bicentennial I decided to live to see the Tricentennial. I'll be 108 in 2076, and hey, 108 is divisible by 3. It can't be a coincidence.
As I pondered the latest manifestations of my advancing decrepitude this morning I wondered: at 52 am I still middle-aged or already old? I know what my students would say (anything/anyone over 30 is old).
Let's do this in two parts.
1. When would you say middle age begins?
To those of you at NE Social last night who saw the sleepy guy in a black Cadillac w/a comically large loose hand-rolled cigar of some kind crawl at 7 miles an hour up the street, through the stop sign, and blam into the parked Suburu 5 ft from our tables:
That was crazy, right?
A friend in town for a wedding was going to stay w/me. I got Covid, so she got a hotel. I felt badly.
Then, all wknd, I've been getting amazing pics of her around town on the free bike (!) from her hotel: Lk Harriet Bandshell; Betty & Earl's Biscuits; Walker Giant Blue Chicken.
I have been alerted to the existence of pet chicken diapers with bow-ties, and I'd just like you to join me in a group meditation, just let your mind expand around the concept of people buying bow ties for their chickens,

@WhiskyOpinions Man, 90's and early 00's Food Network was *instructional*! I learned so much, and from real pros. Then they switched to "Semi-Homemade" and all that and pfffft.
@bjh1969 Oh yes! When I was at @vocalessencemn we did a lot of Bolcom. And my trio @TheEISTrio does a rag of his in our "The Jazz Effect" show.
And your boy Declan likes him too! How about that.
