We are on day four of a set of perfect September 11th-type weather in WI – 30s and 40s at night, 70s in the day time, blue sky, clear and sunny. So I walked over to the student Union to get coffee and eat my liverwurst on homemade challah, on the terrace by the lake, fighting off a pesky yellow jacket. He wasn’t interested in my Tupperware of Bubbe prunes.
Inside, two students, passing in the hall, “hi howya doin?” “ok, fine seeya bye”.
Outside 2 older women, even older than me, “complete change, not the man I married” “wooauw” drawn out, twice, “can’t stand to see him going down the tubes” another long “wow”.
I was worried that I brought too much food – besides the sandwich & prunes, I already ate a banana with peanut butter and a plum – but I added it all up on my iPhone calorie counter, and still over 700 calories left for my dinner tonight, not subtracting whatever I might’ve bicycled off, coming to work, and picking up my CSA box. Plenty for a bowl of that spicey squash soup I made last night, so’s we could have it for dinner tonight.
