Some Thursday Miscellany
What Christmas Means To Me
My boss has been at one of our stores for two days receiving a skid of Christmas Cards and other related holiday paraphernalia. That leaves me alone here to handle all the normal interruptions of a Thursday - which is a furious morning hustle in the best of times, what with constructing the email newsletter, and editing/proofreading all the contributions. Five people posted to four blogs, and they all needed reviewing and artwork preparation. Two of them were ready very late. The results look pretty good, I suppose.
Liverwurst on Rye
That’s what I had for lunch today. I like to cut across to the Silver Spring Deli over on Georgia Ave. Their liverwurst is not the best - it’s simply the only one I can find around here. (like, for instance - why doesn’t Quiznos have a liverwurst sandwich?) They serve slices from a log, not spreadable paste. It could be ten times more luscious. Where am I gonna go around here for a decent liverwurst?
My Sister, Back In The New World
She’s been threatening to visit me in DC, and today she finally started talking about concrete timing. That was a relief, because I was looking to take a week off, but still had to hear about my bosses indecisive plans to take a New York jaunt herself. So, now that’s settled. Which leaves me with 1) cleaning up my apartment, 2) finding something for her to sleep on, and 3) sorry, I don’t know why I thought there would be more. Obviously, I’ll think of it as I’m walking out the door. Her friend has a couch, and lives two blocks from me, but I guess she’s going out of town that week.
