Red Hots And Chilly

 Son Mike sent me an email asking me to buy and ship to Singapore various spices, seasoned salt, and "Red Hots" they can't get there. I found everything but the Red Hots (spicy cinnamon candy I wouldn't eat on a bet). I looked in CVS, but they didn't have them. The clerk was nice enough to look them up and said Ace Hardware did. Odd, but I walked there to see. It turned out they didn't, but I was glad to get the walk, a total of three miles, although it was extremely windy and chilly. I'll look at Wal-Mart, too.

Susan, my nephew, Patrick's, wife, called me back and I talked to her and my brother, Frank. He's getting more and more addled--didn't realize he was visiting them in Ohio or know he was staying a month. Patrick recently took the chair of the oto..(head and neck surgery) at the Cleveland Clinic after being at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for twelve years.

For some reason, I went a little wild and had an early--and weird--lunch. Normally, I eat at 1:00; I had eaten my usual breakfast at 8:00, but was hungry about 11:30. I eschewed my usual big salad and ate--I should be ashamed to admit this!--half an avocado, the rest of a bag of popcorn, about a cup of salted peanuts, and a glass of iced tea. Hey, once in a while won't kill me. 

The rest of the day, aside from the walk, I really just lazed around on the laptop. I wish it wasn't so chilly--today, it's supposed to go up only to 59. Brr...I could have stayed in Jersey for this kind of weather.
