Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Today should be Friday.

Hmmm, that would mess up my schedule.

Gray morning in SF but I don't begrudge it. Also it'll probably burn off.

JZ's cousin Nicole is visiting this week and I'll be taking her to Chinatown at her request.

Apparently she hasn't been back since she was 12 and it is magical in her memory.

Then I'm getting a facial and I'm meeting up with a friend whose marriage has come to a surprise (for her) end. She's very bereft, and I remember those feelings well.

Also being a widower, I am more recently acquainted with the sudden advent of wildly change life circumstances.

So I will be there to buy her drinks and assure her that there is a life to be led on the other side of the dark tunnel she has entered.

Tomorrow is May! One third of this year is over. One quarter of this century is over. 2030 is a totally made up science fiction year but it's going to happen pretty soon.

More confusingly autonomous humanoid robots are being sold by multiple companies and they're going to be everywhere. They are already working in Amazon warehouses and Tesla assembly lines and in Korean malls. Nobody seems to be talking about this but it's happening. It happened before flying cars.

Lunch today is roast duck breast and ramps. I keep thinking I should go back and have one wrapped to take home to mom... um...

Its not traumatic or even that upsetting to have to remind myself over and over again that she's dead but, seriously? Multiple times in the course of a meal?
