My phantom son deserted New
England for the sunny climes of Virginia
this week so I was left without a lunch date yesterday. His mother nobly volunteered to fill this
yawning chasm in my social life. She
faced the Herculean task of showing up on time so we could go out to lunch at
11:30 due to a 1pm presentation I had to make downtown. So we showed up at the restaurant a little
after noon and rushed through a hurried but very fun lunch. I think my wife is very fortunate that the
old saying timeliness is next to Godliness is not true. She would be looking at some serious time in
purgatory.

She threatened me with
another surprise when I came home. I
started looking around for another assembly project (see yesterday’s post) when
she revealed a refrigerator full of the chocolate mousse dessert – YES!!!! She also bought a new pair of jeans, which I
didn’t need and started to tell her. She
then told me to look at the size. I’ve
been wearing 36” by 34” trousers for well over ten years, even when I was still
in the Army and they had been getting a little snug prior to entering the
keto-sphere. These jeans were my old
size of 34” by 34” and there was still some extra space in the waist when I
tried them on. This keto diet is
amazing.

The Red Sox were playing
afternoon baseball out on the left coast which timed perfectly with my post
work need to assume couch potato status.
While I don’t think this team is equipped for a long playoff run they
sure as hell have grit. They skull
dragged a bad Giants team the day after losing an embarrassing late night
affair to the same team. Entertaining, no juggernaut, but this is still a very entertaining
team to watch. I almost feel bad for
them as the Patriots loom on the horizon. I spent the rest of the night pulverizing my brain with some really bad 1990's cinema - unintentional comedy levels through the roof - see reviews for more on this.
