How I spent my week-end off

Yep. It’s my regularly scheduled week-end off. How have I spent it so far?

Well, yesterday morning saw me at my doctor’s office at 9:00. I was his first patient. He said that I had bronchitis (which I already had figured) and that I had strep throat. (Okay, that was a surprise) How I managed to work the last two days with both is just a testament to my loyalty to my victims customers. It was the first of the month. A substitute mailperson would have misdelivered how many checks? I had to be there.

After the doctor, I went and filled the four prescriptions he gave me. Then I took them. Afterwards, I was feeling no pain. Must have been the codeine cough syrup.

So, there I was, high on codeine, and blogging on BMEWS. Between blogging times, I was watching my Netflix movies. In this case, I have the first season of the original Wild, Wild, West. Robert Conrad and Ross Martin starred. I particularly liked the last episode. Ross Martin (Artemus Gordon) got not just one girl, but both girls. Robert Conrad (James West) was out in the cold.

Today. Saturday.  Still on a codeine high. But it’s Saturday. Time for the Farmer’s Market. Used to be I could sneak off to the Farmer’s Market when I used my own vehicle to deliver the mail. Just had to ‘adjust’ the mileage. Can’t do that anymore since they assigned me a postal vehicle. I never get to go to the Farmer’s Market… except on my weekend off. Like today.

So off I go to the Farmer’s Market. First I call the wife at work. I ask what she wants me to get…

Two pages later I’m off… first stop: Jean the pork lady. Don’t need any pork today, but Jean sells brown eggs. My wife swears she can taste a difference between white and brown eggs. I grew up on a farm, we had hens that laid both, depending on the breed. I never noticed a taste difference. Anyway, 2 dozen brown eggs are in my bag.

Next stop, and my favorite, the bread lady. I love bread. I bake it when I have time. If I don’t have time, this is good enough. My wife was very particular about the bread.

I walked out with a loaf of sun-dried tomato ciabatta (sliced) a loaf of cinnamon-raisin (sliced), a loaf of asagio cheese, and a French baguette. I needed that last because it’s winter, and one of my specialties is home-made French Onion Soup. I’ll have a big pot ready when my wife gets home. You ladle a bowlful, put a slice of baguette floating in it, sprinkle some cheese on top, toast it under the broiler, and voila! A classic meal. Just right for a cold wintry day.

While the beef stock is simmering I’m up here watching the first season of the Addams Family and blogging about my weekend.

Tomorrow? Who knows?

I wrote about being angry all the time. News always seems to suck. Gotta get away from that sometimes. Hence this post.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
