Yesterday was a pleasant day here in Dallas, partly sunny skies during the day, temperatures in the 60's so we needed a fleece when going out shopping or for a walk. I took Cody out before yoga, fed him, made sure the blog was written, edited and published before heading to yoga with Beth at 9:00.
The class was called Gently Yoga, my speed, taught by a woman close to my age. Cool beans. It was nice to have a choice between two classes, one more difficult than the other. Our class, of course, was overflowing with practitioners like me, wanting a mellow yoga class,
After yoga, Beth and I shopped at my favorite grocery store in Dallas, Central Market, right up there with Stew Leonards and Fairway in Connecticut, Wegman's in New York. I'm like a kid in a candy store, looking at all the goodies, from fresh baked bread or tortillas to a wall of beers, aisles of wines and coffees, as well as delis, fast foods, and all the foodstuffs found in most stores. As you can see, I was so impressed by the choices of yogurt that I was tempted to buy a gallon container of Bulgarian yogurt.

Jean arrived at 4:30, with the usual bottle of red wine and a pan of cheesecake for dessert. We always get together with her when we are in town, either here at Beth's or at Jean's. We enjoyed a glass of wine and appetizers, catching up on her activities, her grandchildren, always a topic when grandparents like us get together. Dinner was already made except for cheese, black bean and chicken quesadillas which Beth put together just before soup,

Quote I’m pondering —
“Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”
— Chuck Palahniuk
Go Beto ! I second the motion. I think I'll send him 50 bucks on the website, which hopefully a million others will do as well. He's gonna need it.
ReplyDeleteWe agree, he will need it. We sent him money during the Senatorial race but this time it's more urgent!
