CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Last day for my friend at convalescent facility (been there 3-months). He gets picked up at noon... a stop at In-and-Out Burger... then home ! I just have a little more prep at his home so he's comfortable and safe.

[Danik 2016]

Thanks, Tailor. I hope he recuperates quickly.

Mapping out new goals.

Nitid... I imagine myself with an aura; when it is encroached upon I can become very uncomfortable - perhaps a rationalization of a particular spectrum of my anxiety disorders.

[Danik 2016]

Not so clear what you mean with "encroached upon" your aura. You mean, when people become too demanding of you?

Open minded on aura issues. Looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_(paranormal)

[tailor STATELY]

No, proximity... I need elbow room to be comfortable in crowds.

Pie... Apple (home-made), Cherry, Pecan are my favorites.

[Danik 2016]

I see!I have a certain panic of crowds.

Twizzlers... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twizzlers Don't care for them; they have a taste that seems off compared to the standard: Red Vines...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Vines

[Danik 2016]

Undaunted hater of licorice.

(Germans usually love it, bu it´s kind of bitter)

[tailor STATELY]

Vision... damaged a pair of glasses the other day after misplacing them in my recliner. Before I found them I had to drive without glasses on a call for assistance. Luckily, I later found a spare pair (the last of three) my younger brother had given me when I was up near Seattle a three years ago (almost identical prescription).

[Danik 2016]

Luckily you seem to live in a small town. Driving without glasses in S Paulo...

Winter, winter weather! Fortunatelly not wet.

It´s rather hot out there.

Almost azure sky in the morning.

[tailor STATELY]

Yes, hot and its beginning to heat up even more. Must have been a beautiful sunrise. A mild winter ?

Bearded... c. 1999 - 2004

[Danik 2016]

A normal winter, at least until now. At 10º everyone here complains about the bitter cold.

Beautiful cold sunshine today.

Interesting process. Relish Belgian chocolate:https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmental_cheese

Emmenthaler cheese (an expensive favourite)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmental_cheese

[tailor STATELY]

Never tried it... sounds delicious.

Fondue: I haven't had fondue in about 30-years and Emmenthaler would be a good component to add.

[Danik 2016]

... or melted on bread. I very rarely have it. Speaking about cheese...

Gouda Cheese

Havarti... one of the cheeses in my cheese poem, which is misspelled for some reason (correcting as soon as the page becomes accessible... done.)

[Danik 2016]

Havarti sounds great. I don´t think we have it here.

Bowling: About 40+ years ago on this day I bowled a 299 game in practice (kept the pin that didn't fall... still have it somewhere.)

[Danik 2016]

Chess- My father tried teaching me but I can´t concentrate enough.

[tailor STATELY]

Chess... puzzles nearly every day. Correction: my 299 was on 7/10 not 7/11.

Dairy... milk almost every day.

[Danik 2016]

Bowling here is considered a weekend passtime. Never heard about bowling teams or special bowling rules. I myself bowled once or twice in my life.

Born on a Wednesday: "Wednesday's child is full of woe"

[Danik 2016]

Curious saying. It´s the day of the light footed Mercury. What about Friday children?

Currently using xenobiotics at home.

[tailor STATELY]

Hoping for a quick recovery.
One version:

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

Californian... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California

[Danik 2016]

Discreet (but looked up the meaning of "snap" in this context. Saving the idiom for use at the next opportunity)

[tailor STATELY]

lol, I use "snap" (or "Oh, snap!") as a mild epithet or expression of surprise. The word has a storied albeit varied etymology.

Everything: I want to know.
