Quiet, runner trying to sleep!
Just Checking In!
No, I’m not off the grid, just sidetracked from blogging this month – not for lack of ideas, I have plenty of those, some written down and some in my head. This post will look more like a Facebook (or is it FaceBook?) post, kind of chatty and non-substantive, but hopefully fun.
I went shopping for a Valentine’s Day present for my wife the other day. I had decided that the ticket was something practical rather than flowers that wither and droop in a few days. So I went to Kitchen Kaboodle in Hillsboro to get gadgets. Well, actually, I ended up next door at New Seasons first, because I had just come from the gym where I worked out and did a half-mile swim, and I needed a mid-afternoon snack. I found something and asked a person in the deli if they would warm it up for me. While I waited I went over to the beer aisle – New Seasons always has unusual beers, and I like to try new beers. I found a nice one, brewed by the Great Divide Brewing Company in Denver, a Belgian pale ale called Orabelle, not too hoppy with a nice kick to it (8.3%), grabbed a six-pack and got my warmed up food and headed for their little cafe to eat. On their menu, I saw a couple of quotes that I thought I’d share before I end this modest post.
Vietnamese Proverb: “When you’re eating fruit, remember who planted the tree; when you’re drinking water, remember who dug the well.”
One more quote for good measure in honor of Valentine’s Day, this one a bit of an oddity by Jonathan Swift:
“He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.”
