Vaquero got re-routed to Denver on his way to LA. A passenger seemed to be having a heart attack, but he doesn't know. Thus when he called again, once set down at LAX, this guy who ate a little sandwich at JFK about 4:30 this AM our time, hasn't had anything to eat since and it was 7:30 PM our time. The person picking him up couldn't do it, since he then had a class to teach.
Class had to go it without V. today. When I got out of the subway a young urban male handed me a promotional card outside of a CD store front start-up -- "All CDs 3 for $28 -- Get 20% Off ALL DVDs All Blu-Ray's -- BEAT THE DOWNLOAD"
After almost a week of spring-like, sunny weather, the temps dropped and it's supposed to rain throughout the weekend. Still, the squirrels were frolicking like mad creatures -- chasing each other, rasslin' with each other, tumbling down the embankment all tangled up, and generally having a high old time. The birds are beyond noisy. Last Friday I saw the first teensie shoots of snowdrops and so on.
Since then, last Friday, at least four more stores have closed in my general neighborhood. All of them sold either inexpensive products or provided essential services like food that were a bit less expensive than everything else around them. The man-pedi places just are not doing the business either. More hair stylist places close down every quarter too.
Made dinner out of this fabulous left over soup based on inspiration provided by a soup made by Premium T's mom. I added orzo pasta. Additionally crusty bread, plus cheese, and red wine.
O, and I trapped a mouse dead. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
ETA: The odious downstairs neighbor who was killing us with her cigarettes, quit smoking when we left for New Orleans, and she hasn't had a cigarette since. Digits xxxxx xxxxx ed that this is a permanent thing. That would be several, large steps ahead!
