Former Alaskan. Currently in the hinterlands of NYS, living in a 100-year old house in a permanent state of repair. I used to teach English, now I just do it for fun. I have two labradors, 4 grown kids & an H. I'm not your drivetime podcast.

Today I had my first spinal cortisone shot. It feels like my legs are made of string cheese.

Yup. But then I would have to make the calzones, clean up, etc. Once in a while it's nice not to have to do the work.

This is a small, local business. The owner went to high school with my son.

On Wednesdays, we split a veggie calzone for $10 from our local pizza place.

Me: want to go get Thai food tonight?
The H: what?! And miss $10 calzones?

We are as spontaneous as the next couple, but in this economy, a $10 veggie calzone is a $5 dinner.

As they pulled her out of the store, she was crying, apologizing for stealing a package of donuts. "I'm sorry- I was just so hungry... I was so hungry." My friend relayed this through her own tears. An old woman dragged off & cuffed for stealing Dollar Store donuts.

One of my friends was in a Dollar Store Saturday to get party supplies. As she made her way to the front, two police officers ran to the back of the store. A store employee said:"She's in the bathroom."
The police opened the door & dragged out a homeless woman in her 70s. They handcuffed her.
