My Dad played a lot of classical music and my uncle played mostly Jazz, he even game me a a couple of albums. I was mostly into Hawaiian and Rock (and Blues). Didn’t reslly have a great appreciation for jazz until my 40s and for symphony until recentlly. Mostly what I listen to now.

Had a chance to taste yesterday’s food in a more relaxed state. The turkey is really moist, even the breast. I brined it breast side down. The Italian sausage stuffing is excellent.

My wife went shopping, I didn’t. I think we’re both in a better place.


With 8 days left till I am eligible to return to work I’ve stepped up my pace on my walk. Have knocked 5 min a mile off my pace 3 weeks ago. There’s my shoulder, but also my fitness I need to get back to run around kitchen for 8 hours


I love it try Turkish coffee. I’m never going to Turkey. So will have of stumble upon someplace that makes it at some point. Turkish coffee - Wikipedia


Funny seeing people lining up at stores on the news this morning. Haven’t done that since the internet. I remember getting a killer deal on a camcorder once. Generally, I didn’t have the patience to stand in queue.


Butcher’s style slice


Haven’t listened to Brady on Fox. He hasn’t been on our regional games this year. He’s on today. He really sucks.

Wow. Detroit had it in hand, but the Bears made interesting but lost a chance on poor clock management.


Fascinating article in Xerox PARC in the 80s. A much studied corporation

What we can learn about resilience from the Pantheon


The brined turkey safely out of the brine, rinsed, air dried, seasoned and in the oven. See ya in 165°, save for a couple of bastings.


Would love to see Detroit win the Super Bowl. It would be amazing for the city.


My wife’s family in North Dakota are “drunk on oil money “MAGA. They don’t really care about politics other than the top MAGA talking points to sound authentic. My wife tests them now and then - crickets
