Cassi Creek: The
newspapers, magazines, and electronic media have reached the point in their yearly
cyclic coverage where the bulk of their content consists of lists of the worst
and/or best of some topic. This is an
annual occurrence that seems to grow in prevalence every year.
There are a
few topics that I find interesting. “Most
annoying word,” seems to attract my attention, as well as “most
annoying phrase/cliché.” I’m far from
being the best student of the English language.
My speech is nothing to present as an example of how the language should
be spoken. I get sloppy at times in
written and spoken communications.
I’ve noticed
recently that my typographical errors have increased in frequency. Typos were troubling before I began showing
signs of Parkinsonism. It was almost
physically painful to post a comment that contained errors in composition or in
editing. Now I find it even more
so. They strike me as indicators of the
disease’s progression
I need to
renew my driver’s license before March ends in 2013. Because I want the photo ID function that a
license affords I will need to find a time when the office is open and then
plan on spending half a day or so waiting in line. I want to get the renewal completed before I become
more obviously affected by PD.
Today’s
dinner is in the works. We have four
large pork rib chops in the slow cooker.
They were seasoned with salt and cracked black pepper then layered over
a thinly sliced sweet yellow onion.
Between the onion and the chops there is nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Over
the chops are layers of sliced gala apples and sauerkraut. ¼ cup of Chablis went into the mix and the
cooker is now happily braising away at low temperature for 6 hours. This should provide two good meals for
us.
