And how was your weekend? Ours was fine. We’re doing just fine. We hope you are, too. <\/p>\n

We’ve gotten settled in to the new routine, hoping it is temporary, trying to think and plan as though it may not be. We went out for a brief time on Saturday, probably the last time in a while. <\/p>\n

Loved the sign:<\/p>\n

There just aren’t enough marquees with attitude anymore, and we should remedy that problem. I’m sure that’s a corporate concern for corporate types, but a good local sign adds a great deal to a place, if you ask me. And in a social media world, you’d think there’s an unending vein of material from which to draw.<\/p>\n

Things are changing at restaurants. This is just the beginning:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

People suddenly have a lot of toilet needs:<\/p>\n

I hope you have your groceries in order. We did pretty well this weekend. The Yankee made us pie for Pi Day Saturday night. It was as tasty as it looks:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Our relationship really started with pie. OK, it actually started with a bad professor, but the second step was pie and that’s a much better story. I invited her to a barbecue place while we’d been carpooling an errand or two and said we should go try the pie. She said nah. I said, “Come on, it’s Friday. Friday’s Pie Day.” That worked. We shared a slice of lemon ice box. <\/p>\n

A server at another barbecue joint had said the same thing to me the week before, trying to upsell the dessert. She did. I got the pie that day and a week later I used her line. <\/p>\n

To great success, I must say. That was 15-plus years ago. For the next 11 years, until we moved where there is no pie, apparently, every Friday was pie day.<\/p>\n

We had a beautiful day for our run on Sunday afternoon:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Happily everyone was off doing something else:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The regular Monday checkin with cats? They’re doing great, too. Poseidon is eager to see all the new things that the coming spring has to offer him:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And I caught Phoebe as she was getting ready for an office nap:<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And that was the weekend. Hope yours was equally fine, and brought you some peace and cheer and rest and lovely memories. Take it slow. Be safe and well. Have a little grace and patience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
