A New Week
Last week was kind of a bummer. The Sad/Rabid Puppies crap, a less-than-stellar Annual Evaluation, the Padres' sluggish start, and a couple of other things I'm not going to talk about.... There are times when I just get so tired of everything.
Not that the week was a complete wreck. Monday night, as I was trying to get to sleep, the answer to a research question that had been bothering me for a couple of years finally came clear; the Padres came back with wins on Friday and Saturday (beating up Bumgarner pretty badly last night); the weather's been good - a few things on the right side of the balance.
My dinners the last two weeks have been reruns - jambalaya, and beef and barley soup - but this week I'm trying my hand at chicken cacciatore (that dish beloved of the American revolutionaries, back in '76). It's still got about six hours to cook, but it's already smelling good.
Here's to a new week, and better fortune!
