Got a terrific craving for lentils (could I be pregnant?) in the morning and rushed out to buy them. Made a huge pot of lentil stew in the crock pot, then assembled a salad to have for lunch, cut up zucchini, onion, and tomatoes for a casserole, and chopped apples to make applesauce. By the time Pat got up, all was bubbling or simmering on the stove, aside from the salad, which was slumbering in the fridge. A yummy day altogether.
Later, finally bought new walking shoes (read "sneakers"), plus a few other things. The big news is that I'm going to add cousin Judy's manuscript, as described yesterday, to the Domino Lane blog:

Wider: This, from Dennis Perrin, says it all about Muntadhar al-Zeidi and Bush--and "justice" in the world:
"...Throw a shoe at your country's occupier and miss -- jail. Invade another country, unleash cluster bombs and chemical weapons, torture, help incite bloody sectarian war using domestic death squads and foreign mercenaries, the death toll somewhere around a million -- retire in material comfort, guarded 'round the clock."
The SOB to whom Perrin refers, could easily have asked for leniency for his "attacker" instead of a three-year incarceration. But no, no: he said it was up to Iraq to dispense "justice." Guess the idea of sacred sovereignty didn't occur to him when he was slaughtering Iraqi children.
