- Saturday I finally saw a Cranberry bog. They were having a festival down in southern MA. IT was a picture perfect day and very enlightening. Also went bike riding in the area.
- Sunday I had a sore muscle in my upper back which then turned into a soreness on my front. It was a little scary as I couldn’t breathe - only shallow breaths. It just kept getting worse as the day progressed. I wanted to give it a night before going to get it looked at. Although it was challenging since the terms pneumonia and bronchitis were thrown out there which really need to be caught early. Hard night sleeping but the next day it had receded a little and felt more like sore muscles than some lung issue.
- My dentist called and canceled my appointment this week… an hour before the appointment. Very disappointing. I thought I had finally found a good one. Not a good sign of things to come and I was already out $$ from driving in. If only we could charge drs. cancellation fees like they do to us!
- I’m not sure where I stand anymore with NYC. I love the hustle and bustle and there really is no other city that compares. But my last two trips to NYC were 19 hour days (that translates to 4 am - 11 pm). So I’m getting a little less enthusiastic with the chaos and crowds and traffic. Especially when the cabbies cherry pick riders - no one wants to go to LaGuardia!
- Why is it “The Bronx” and not just “Bronx”? Brooklyn and Queens and all the other borrows are fine without this addition - even posh Manhattan.
- At lunch yesterday, I switched from just-someone-I--met-at-a-conference, to man-she’s-cool in the eyes of a colleagues friend. They were referencing something Captain Picard said on Star Trek and I added “Next Generation”. That’s all it took! I was in the know and now one of them.
- Yesterday I had a quick bite for breakfast on the way to the airport. Breakfast at lunch (Ukranian blintzs), and lunch for dinner (fabulously fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, tomato and basil sandwich I picked up at a corner deli - so much better than airport food). This morning I was confused what I should have - dinner or start fresh?
- I made a friend on the bus today. An older woman was sitting next to me and commented on the downpour. We got talking about NPR shows and the commute flew by. She knows Ray from CarTalk too!
- Today folks have been stopping by and giving me food at work. I had my egg guy bring by a dozen fresh eggs (including two terra cotta eggs - new hen) and someone from the Power group bring by two more varieties of apples. I really liked the Creston. Imagine someone who is a wine aficionado now switch out wine for apples. He loves the apples and had brought me some of his favorite from a VT outing last weekend - Reine des Reinettes. Can’t say that I mind!

I think the phrase "the Bronx" may, possibly, perhaps come from an old song, circa 1940's-50's.
But maybe not. Interesting.
