Subway fingering

November 18, 2015 Wednesday
9:32am
Good morning!

9:41am Phil 

Spending today doing final packing so we can have as much done tomorrow as possible – furniture, washer/ dryer/ cable all show up on Friday. Hope to finish on Saturday and then clean up Sunday and relax on Monday. 
Best part will be getting the paperwork and then changing out locks to make it ours. It all worked out.
 Never found several thousand dollars-worth of jewelry that has been missing. Think the last movers grabbed it. 8 fully loaded Pandora bracelets. $800-1000 a piece just gone. My wife doesn’t take care of her stuff and she left them out. Someone’s wife or girlfriend got a great gift. I’m dropping off thousands of dollars of never used craft supplies to Goodwill. Probably 20k worth. I could puke.  What’s done is done.
I don’t know know anyone in real estate in our hometown. I’m sorry.
9:57am
Thanks for the update.  No worries re: our hometown – A high school friend told Sis who to call.  Hope that works.   Best of luck with packing today.  Glad to hear your wife is getting rid of some stuff!         
9:57am  
I wanna ride the subway with you.  

10:34am Phil
Nice😛

Good morning kid!   Off to work.  

I get to go to Mindfulness class today. And the endocrinologist.  Whee!  

Hope you have a super Tuesday!

8:32am Phil 

Oh yippy!  Sounds like fun! Try to enjoy the day anyway  : )

2:33pm
Tried the new quiche Lorraine at Au bon pain.  Won’t do that again.  Blah.

7:44pm
Tuesday at Tupelo, an oasis of Southern food in Imnan Square Cambridge

Funky interior with a bust of Elvis and open kitchen
Moist corn bread and butter
My “small bowl” of gumbo with garlic toast
Fried gator with cheesy grits and gravy, topped with pickled beets
Hubby’s jumbo gumbo with toast
My fried chicken on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, collards and pickled beets
Brown butter pecan pie
9:48pm  
Have you seen this monster?  Somehow, it looks like something you’d cook up!

http://dangerousminds.net/comments/for_your_hp_lovecraft_theme_thanksgiving_the_cthurkey_octopus-stuffed_turke

For your HP Lovecraft-themed Thanksgiving:
The Cthurkey, octopus-stuffed turkey with crab legs

Like William Burroughs’ “Thanksgiving Prayer,” this “Cthurkey” rears its head every holiday season. It’s almost criminal that we’ve never blogged about it here on Dangerous Minds, so I thought I’d correct that egregious oversight.

10:44pm
I sang this Emma Lazarus poem set to an Irving Berlin tune with a community chorus for the Bicentennial in 1976.  We need to listen again… it’s the one inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, given to the United States by… France.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Hiya.  Do you know who a real estate lawyer or agent in our hometown would be?  My brother-in-law has a great aunt who lives down the river a bit. Her caretakers are talking about selling her home and moving her to a nursing home, and he’s considering buying the house, so we’re looking for contacts over that way who might know who to call. Thanks for any clues.

8:59pm

9:00am
Happy Friday kid!

7:17pm
Terrible new out of Paris. 

6:32pm Phil 
Paris. Tragic. Can happen anywhere. 

6:33pm
Living in the Boston area… we know. Ugh.

6:34pm  

My head intern is there this weekend.  To see soccer.

6:34pm Phil 

The world needs to unite and end this bullshit. Cowardly low life bastards

6:36pm  

We can do so much… I wish we could solve this crap.

6:37pm Phil 

The French took them in with open arms

6:41pm  
The news coverage stinks… Twitter is scooping them all.

6:42pm Phil 

Maybe this will result in some action

6:44pm  

What’re you up to this evening?

6:45pm Phil 
Sipping a scotch with a cigar and a fire.

6:53pm  
Just occurred to me I have that intern’s sister’s email… gonna ask her.

6:54pm Phil 

Good plan. Hope they are ok

6:57pm

She might know.

So glad you are around tonight.

7:14pm Phil 

: )

7:15pm

Heard from my intern… he wrote me from Paris!  
He was at the soccer match where President Hollande was… and the bomb outside.  He’s okay.

7:16pm Phil 

Wonderful

7:29pm  
Sad to think of the families that will not be getting good news.

7:32pm Phil 

Oh yeah

7:33pm

Have you been to Paris? 
I was there when I was 7.

7:47pm
 Phil 
Been several times

7:48pm
President Obama’s press conference. “An attack on humanity.” 

8:30pm
Je suis Paris.
