Expat from Post. Still loving The Big Apple, pizza, philology, honest discourse, retirement. Not likely to follow reposts-only. Nix to dogma, attention thirst, lack of civility. Serious or silly - it's all good. Teach me something. #expostie #expostnews
A batch of not too sweet chocolate chip cookies just finished baking in the new oven.

I've got a brand-new stove! Such a luxury for an urban apartment dweller to have an replacement appliance that no one has used before. (Martin Short's character on Only Murders has the same one, a GE.)

Someone has done that. Will they pay attention?
I'm sure my neighbors are tired of hearing me nagging them. They seem very surprised to learn that our girl never goes outside.
I've had 3 previous indoor cats, all of whom led happy, healthy, and very long lives.

Just a few days ago our mighty tree had lovely yellow leaves. Then, on Thursday, #Brooklyn had dangerous flooding rain. And yesterday, Friday, we had gale force winds. And now, on Saturday, our tree looks ready for Winter.

I submitted a photo of Kylie the Rescue Cat, who gives Tortietude a whole other dimension.

Well, friends, the edge of Erin is with us here in #Brooklyn. NY State & NYC beaches are closed for swimming. The surf & riptides are high.
It rained like crazy this morning. There's a bit of sun now & it's windy as heck. Chilly, too. She'll be closer tomorrow.

I'm very sorry Kylie, but Danish tigers need to eat. Like that would happen.
