I got upgraded on both legs of this journey - off
visiting an elderly disabled friend (yet another!).

I only qualify for half of that these days, hopefully

temporarily.

Hum, wait a second. What are you implying here?

Hobbling around on partially numb legs with the pain nerves firing in
one foot (long story) and other stuff acting up ... I'm not 90 yet,
but it feels like it.

Okay, that's not half exactly but maybe two quarters.
I do have friends who are 90 and in better shape than
we are; on the other hand, I'm not dead yet.

not asked for seconds. I think it's because I'm not
in acute need of mental health care.

Wanting to keep your liver working might have fed into it too.

Well, it is true that I am a good customer these
days of physical health care.

Somebody was bound to make money out of you somehow.

Happens.I'm afraid the only way to avoid that would be
to croak it.

already, but the northern end went to the Mets.

Nobody wanted to root for Pumpsie Green, maybe.

These days no one new wants to root for the Mets either.

The original charm is gone, and the people love a winner
thing is gone too.

And the Cubs they aren't.

There was a day when the Amazin' Mets were almost
as beloved as the Cubbies. Wonder what happened.

My criteria are: plenty of garlic, plenty of fat,
not too much coriander, minimal filler, not too much
salt. Prefer all beef, followed by beef and pork.
Poultry are anathema.

You'd like the deli case Grote & Wiegels then. No filler at all, all
beef readily available, and enough garlic for me at least. Natural

I've seen G&W products but have not knowingly
consumed them. Maybe it's time.

casing optional. Mucke's makes some good dogs too; they're based in
New Haven and only sell in-state.

How can anything be good that comes from New Haven?

Some days my 88 year-old mother is in better shape than I am! Right
now the old incisional hernia is acting up and I'm wondering if I
need more body and fender work to close things up tighter again.
Hope not, but it's decidedly uncomfortable. I thought things were
healing for a while, but now it feels worse so...?

Then the funeral guys would make the money instead, unless a bunch of
friends secretly buried your body in a field somewhere.

They can't win for losing, and New Yorkers aren't Chicagoans.

Always go with local, when it comes to dogs.

That's where the best pizza in the state is too, according to some.
Of course, they do have to put up with Yale, but it's worth it for
good 'za. I just say a video on Youtube showing the inside of a
shopping mall in India, and folks were lined up for Domino's. India
has all that great food in Mumbai and everywhere else and they're
eating that crud? No wonder all those folks from India emigrate to Connecticut; they're coming for the food!
