Ditalini’s Gnocchi Soup
A rich and hearty soup. A nice cold-weather dish, easy to make and a great way to use the leftover white meat from a Costco rotisserie chicken.

Patton Oswalt also did online sports betting ads. I can never forgive him for that.

Didn't have to adjust a single clock or wristwatch this morning. Thank you, Arizona! Oh wait ... I always forget about the bathroom clock radio, made in the 1970s before they had AZ settings.

#Halloween is special to me, not least because it's my birthday. We never get more than 15 to 20 trick-or-treaters, and last night only 4 ... a group of teenaged girls from up the street. We had proper candy bars for them. As for me, a lovely dinner and a birthday watch. 1/2
