Tofu by itself, really? Do you marinate it first? This vaguely brings to mind my first encounter with tofu ever, in my dad's kitchen, age 10... "What does it taste like?" "Well, try!" "EW NOTHING."
Your welcome the stories are so wonderful, I love to read and I love history as well.
it's raining here today, and it's a little gloomy but it can't always be sunshine and butterflies
Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes! I hit the big double nickel today. I really appreciate all of the kind thoughts. Birthdays are always fun and exciting, but once you get to be a creepy ol guy like me, its getting to the next one that really matters
We were planning on a little early season barbeque, but the rain and clouds... Read More
I found out yesterday that I missed going to New York with my friends on Monday I thought they were going down on a different day. I was thinking of taking the train in, but part of the fun of driving is stopping at Patsy's Pizza in East Harlem on the way home. Saturday night we got there just before closing so we picked up...

Friday morning MacTalla M'or and their faithful friend and roadie were off to The British Memorial Garden at Hanover Square in NYC for a brief ceremony and concert to celebrate Scotlands Tartan Week. The trip down was miserable; rain (of seemingly biblical proportions) caused poor visability and flooding on many highways. We dropped the band and equipment and headed over to park near... Read More
All of that Money we're going to spend decades
paying-off and None of it benifted the Taxpayer.
Shit; if they had given it to the Taxpayers, it would
be floating the economy big time[ save for the odd
few stuffing it into a mattress ].
Strange old Life ain't it.
Sittin' here this morning, feeling a bit o' the blues.
Its a cold, dark, rainy day and I woke up with a major ache in my spine. I hoped that Id escaped unscathed from that silly little wind driven jump off the porch the other day. I guess not.
Today I'm feeling old. I've been here on this earth for over 20,000 days. I can't... Read More
I was all excited about the glorious sunshine on Monday morning but neglected to notice the freezing cold and ferocious winds. There I was, standing at the edge of the porch, basking in the light - luxuriantly stretching and enjoying the view, when a sudden gust knocked me off balance and down to the ground. It's not...

No jumping of the gun as I mentioned the intent to get the tickets.
That was one hell of a gust to knock ya off of yer pins.
There seem to be too many shoes dropping. I wish that the familey
of Milipeds living upstairs would either take their shoes off ALL
at once or move. Pain and then the IRS, too F'ing cruel.
Even when my Latin was fresher I'd not have seen that.
It's always disconcerting to be reminded that we're getting older. If it wasn't for my troubles, I wouldn't feel old, even at age 61. I think being able to find my niche on a site such as this allows me to feel younger than my chronological age. I wonder if you have the same mindset as well.
My migraine headache has finally gone away. I had it, or more probably a series of them, for nearly two weeks.
Yesterday morning I was overjoyed to find that I felt nearly normal. I went out to the store and did a few other overdue errands, then came home and took a series of much needed naps. I think I'm ready to resume eating, sleeping... Read More
I tend to post things when I'm at my lowest point. It seems to help me, so I put my baser thoughts and feelings out there for all to see. It's something that would have been totally foreign to me a year ago.
I've mellowed out some since posting my last blog. It's less likely that I'll be taking a break, even a short one. I'll admit it. SG has gone a long way in helping to maintain my sanity. That fact is a tribute to my wonderful friends here. It's probably also an indication that I'm disappointed in most of the people in my everyday life.
It's a dreary day here too. To make things drearier, I am more desperate than ever to find some kind of job, even part time. Continued futility remains the order of the day.
I'm sorry you're still saddled with the headache. Hope it's gone by now.
Once again I find myself indebted to wsoxfan for giving me the stimulus to illuminate a bit more of my checkered life.
I like where I live. Bored? Never. I sip my morning coffee and read the New York Times out on the porch nearly every morning - all those days that the sun shines. At night, it's dark enough to gaze at the eternal... Read More
