trepidation

seeinggodnaked.wordpress.com/2025/01/25/t...
Restaurants, comic clips, cats and dogs, don’t make it to the feed right now. I open the news in trepidation. Who have they terrorized today? Whose fear brought them pleasure? Whose distress made them feel powerful? How can the church lady post Disneyland pics while her heroes destroy her neighbor as herself?

last night, first morning
Teetering down 8am street on flimsy heels,the last-night party sequins clinging like spackled glitter to first-morning tatters,passing among bodega owners sweeping outthe last night, the first morn…

Usually it’s my shoulder. Tonight, it’s squarely on my head.

For those who asked how the dish for the office potluck turned out, here it is: Bob’s take on Italian Braciole. It was just one of many generous dishes that were brought to the office that day, as seen in the last photo.

BOB: I’ve got the perfect dish!

This quote has been on my mind as I've watch the next administration's cabinet appointments.
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here." A quote from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest," Act I, Scene II

Quick note to the editor of Time Out about the misuse of the word “alas.”
Screen capture of email that reads: Dear Editor, Take a look at the use of the word “Alas” in this article from 2022. “Alas,” is used to express grief, disappointment, or sadness, as in “Alas, my copy editor wasn’t available to proof this article, and it was posted with an error.” Or “Alas, I used this archaic term without really knowing what it means.” In the context of this article, the writer should have used “Fortunately,” or “Great news,” or “Rejoice,” if they wanted to sound Dickensian. All that said, thanks for reporting that the Del Posto 100-Layer Lasagna found new life at Babbo. Rejoice, we’ve made reservations for this evening.

Someone’s feeling I’ve done enough work for the day.
