When I first learned the word 'grimoire' ...

(credit to Pratchett's books found late in life)

This came to mind as the source of high school exploration and adventures...

Regret to inform you that that job had been eliminated at our local Costco... 2 or 3 line queue for multiple windows... "Next in line!"

And all that nation club system versus nation club system matches... Champions, Europa, and Conference Leagues...

Yes, club systems seem to have evolved to be a bit more international and somewhat less nativist to me... wish more matches were available for viewing....

Never was athletic...

But such devilry... That one time in 60's seeing Fr Callahan (FOI) pick a ball up with his foot after school day Mass...

70's. watching Bundesliga replays on Public Television in B&W on a Saturday afternoon while preparing dinner...

However the game has evolved...

Still remember the look of my Physics teacher when I mentioned to her that VWR wouldn't sell us any perchlorates due to some new law... sold us glassware though... mortar and pestle sit over on the shelf...

As the son of a meteorologist, appreciate the data stream... Had just bought some coffee, driving down 'tank man' freeway and saw this out in the bay from the Mesa... knew what it was... had to capture it from the 10 o'clock news...

I sat in my trials against the Feds, on and off over 8 or so years... and later on, according to the AJ in supporting SO's unemployment claim denial... from what he was used to, all I needed was the paper...

Thanks... been years since I found my signature knives (😇 www.robertwelch.com ) can't afford anything fancy but thought a bread knife might be nice...

trying out my (😎) new knife this morning... while many stores had Nordic Ware, none carried in store the keeper... SLT new one daughter's birthday... gave her custom fitted cutting board, too... replacement next project into queue...

Never heard of them until a couple of years ago shopping for a simple loaf keeper... stumbled into store @ Fashion Valley Mall just down the hill... went back this year for another (Nordic Ware)... store gone... ordered online... Only Murders in the Building referenced SLT and now here...

These dogs require so much patience and understanding... Bomoseen is just a big baby... Bomo visits on weekends and adjustment took many months...

Spelling... Going into 1st OHS... waking up in theater and cardiac surgeon and anesthesiologist staring down at me asking if I signed the conscent forms... No... back under again [had been told no operation w/o approvals... well we're going to perform, so must have... silly ? from you]...

So delightful doesn’t even taste like ‘chocolate’… too bad can’t be shipped easily… some countries refer to all chocolate as international chocolate… so what would that truly be…
