Are you more of a night or morning person?
No one ever offers you an option to be a day person. I like midday.
Is that… OK?

Wearables
What are your two favorite things to wear?
Fashion is fleeting. Or, at least, it has defleeted me.
I have always been found of color coordination.
Maroon, from stem to stern, for instance, if not maroon and forest green.
My favorite color is red, a red t- shirt under a red fleece jacket covered by a red vest.
If we’re restricted to two items, it’s the fleece and vest. That’s winter wear, and right now it’s winter!
There is, I now know, only the right now.
Lazy days
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
You know that feeling when, yes, you want to take a pause, but the stay-at-home feels like a sick day.
You started off needing a rest, but as you rested, you began to feel warm, tired. It’s almost as if that day off made you sick.
As if you did not deserve a quiet day at home, the day became a day of recovery.
Taking a sick day, eh?, well, you better be sick then. You may as well be sick if you’re just gonna be lazing around.
More to-do
What could you do more of?
It’s a long list. A comic, like Jon Stewart, would attribute that to my being Jewish.
We Jews are guilt-builders so there’s always more. In fact, just interpreting the question is guilt inducing….
What could I do more of? Every positive thing I ever did, I need to do more of that.
Miniature produce
What are your favorite types of foods?
Organic produce delivered by a lightly rusty open truck is the best that miniature fruits and vegetables have to offer.
This is a scene into which I would wish to be dropped, shopping list in hand.
Ah, what could possibly be uninteresting!?
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.
We have to acknowledge that we live in interesting times.
All the news a shitshow, a circus, in these stupid ugly times.
It’s interesting that the president of these United States was seen on the roof of the White House the other day. Isn’t it?
It’s interesting that we [I mean that collectively and in re our current government] cancelled mRNA research despite the fact it was an effective treatment. Isn’t it?
We do truly live in interesting times. Isn’t it?
For the better vs the worst
What would you change about modern society?
Life without fascism, hatred, and bigotry would be a refreshing change, wouldn’t it?
I saw interviews with Americans who seemed not at all phased by losing the Constitution.
They would prefer a world with bigotry, hatred, and authoritarian rule.
Different strokes, doesn’t begin to cover it. No accounting, not even close.
I would like to keep the door open for everyone’s thinking. But I cannot. Stupid. Deplorable. Are the only adjectives that describe this MAGA bullsh*t. Shredding the Constitution, I heard the man say, was okay with him. Really.
MAGA represents only ⅓ of the American population.
⅓ of us are willing to shred the Constitution. That, I must point out, is the minority. The pivot to the right is dire but not fatal.
Whistle
Listen?
What do you listen to while you work?
Is listening while you work akin to whistling while you work? Do you listen while you work? Do you whistle?
🎼🎶🪘🎶
Does it help? If yes: With what?
Just asking.
Self congratulations
What do you do to be involved in the community?
Do you really believe in a humble brag? Really?
When my friend J told me she was placing all her “live food” [her vivid description] in one of these bins, I issued a grump. She, btw, was not bragging.
On her podcast activist-actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus had been acclaiming the merits of a home food compactor for a while.
Another grump from me. Too much earth-friendly virtue, I grumbled.
The compost pails are law in NYC now. They put up big centralized bins on the corners a few months ago.
Next, they required your landlord to make these accessible for us all.
You can hear my complaint over this new task as I carry my bag up the block.
Just a humble brag.
There are moments
When are you most happy?
Like these:
We favor a Mexican place, but each of my friends and I tend to gravitate towards one or a few specific restaurants.
Let me expand on this particular Mexican restaurant.
They deconstruct a delicious street food and serve it in a paper coffee cup. This touch kind of preserves the feel of a «off a food truck« delicacy when you dig in on the mix of flavors. The corn has been de-cobbed, as it were, for ease of eating. Aka, it’s not as sloppy a dish at table as when you walk through a street-fair.
We both really enjoy this menu choice at Tacombi.
There’s an industrial feel to the location (ours is on the UES), and I see from their website that they favor this look. Other Tacombis have converted garages into dining rooms. It’s a style. I love it.
All The Best
