I am a sneaky Augustus. Devious even. Yup, that about sums it up. When mom and I were at my sister's in Maine the other week, we were talking about coffee. Mom loves coffee (ewww). She would drink it all day if she could. At 10 at night, she asks for coffee. Much as I love her, I am not going to give her coffee at 10 at night. Even Decaf coffee. Personally, the idea of decaf coffee (isn't that an oxymoron) sounds horrible. And somewhere, a long time ago, I read that to make coffee caffeine-less, the processors used a lot of icky chemicals - making decaf coffee even ickier than regular coffee. That all being said, I do know that caffeine does affect my mom's stomach. Sometimes her "sick stomach" feeling is nothing more than a result of unmitigated caffeine, causing an over caffeinated stomach. I do my best to give her food when I give her coffee - a lot of food. I think it helps. But, here comes the sneaky bit, since I am trying to avoid mom having "stomach" issues, I broke down and bought a tub of decaf coffee and have started mixing it into her regular coffee! I am not sure what the percentage is - but I plan to increase the amount over time. I wonder if Gevalia offers decaf coffee. I also wonder if I ought to stop the mail order coffee deliveries from them. I probably ought to...
I had another epiphany-let the other day and finally acted on it. As some of you know, I listen to audio books in the kitchen (primarily). I have destroyed a few playback devices so far, probably from putting the books on pause and leaving them that way for 12+ hours. That can't be good for the machines. Though there must be some sort of digital way for machines to remember where they are on a CD rather than a physical way that most of them seem to use. Whatever. With the current CD player, I have been stopping the disc and turning the player off - conserving power and hopefully conserving the life of the CD player. That would be nifty. Anyway, my memory is ok. Not awesomely excellent. I tried to remember what track I was on (and about where on the track I stopped) but was not doing a great job at it. So, I have this perpetual calendar (that often languished next to my bed - unused for months) and thought - heck, it has numbers that I could set to the correct track. Which I did. And it works pretty well. Or at least has so far! Yay!
The daily recap - what day was it? Oh, yes - Tuesday. The biggest news was that I walked downtown to Red Dove for a beer last night, sauntered in, found the place packed to the gunwales and turned around and walked home again. Yes, there was one seat at the bar, but I just didn't feel like being there. But I had a great walk. I do like walking, fortunately. Yippee! Other than that, nothing too interesting of note.
Oh well, one semi-interesting note. I went into the Smith to work with David for a little bit. Dimmers are being rented for the Opera and we needed to guesstimate how long the cables would need to be in order for there to be light! I don't understand how the whole system is wired - where the cables run etc, but we did what we could. Hopefully it will be sufficient for the lighting company to do what they need to do.
Ok, that really is it for interesting stuff. At least for now. We don't want this to become too exciting a post.

Umbrellas are a good thing
I was on Facebook briefly before walking downtown to get a beer at Red Dove and a friend mentioned that it was raining hard in Western New York - which is West of where I live here in Geneva (Central) NY. So I took my umbrella, just in case. Sometimes I can walk and balance it on one finger - usually only for a few steps - sometimes as many as ten. It is a huge umbrella - not the hugest but pretty big - one I have had for 20 years maybe? Can it be that long? 1993 perhaps? Anyway, thank you Rosanne for giving me the umbrella from your basement so long ago! It saved me from getting wet, and also altered my evening - for the better. But I am way ahead of myself. Stepping into the way-back machine, we find ourselves waking up to a new day Tuesday...
We are experiencing a lot of overcast and drippy days here in Central NY. The overcast is pretty normal actually, but the drippiness isn't. But I am ok with it. All things considered, I would rather live a little damp than extremely dry, arid, desert-like. Just sayin! So waking up was more like sidling into wakefulness. I did have a plan for the shape of the day - like many days in the past and perhaps many days in the future. Get up, work on the computer (like writing this blog - yes, although I enjoy it, it is still work - work in the force times distance sense - my fingers are working - my brain is working - functioning...), get mom some lunch, do business-y things (I don't know why I like to do businessy things after lunch - around 2, but I do), food shopping, cook dinner and then, since it was Tuesday, head out into the world and see what minor adventures I can have here in the mini-metropolis of Geneva.
Everything went according to plan. Yay! I like it when that happens. Especially when the planned events are better/other/more different than I had envisioned. Starting with dinner.
As some of you know, menu planning gets challenging now and again. Last night, I really had no idea what I was doing for dinner until about 10 minutes before I drove to Wegman's. I decided we would have bbq ribs with home made bbq sauce. I checked the recipes and found we had most all of the ingredients in our larder. Yippee! All I had to get was the ribs. And some vegetables. I had thought about doing french fries with the ribs, but we already had corn lying around, so I opted for green beans, which mom likes a lot. I am beginning to run into more people that I am acquainted with at Wegman's. Mixed blessing. Anyway, food shopping accomplished, back to the domicile to do the actual food preparation.
Post dinner, I headed out to the newest restaurant in the Geneva area - they smoke meat and serve beer - eventually they will have 26 taps apparently. But for now, they are only running ten or so. I went because of the beer, primarily. I was hoping for, well, I don't know what. Maybe a place that shouted out to me to be the place I wanted to hang out a lot. This wasn't that place. It has been open less than a week. I was surprised to find a person I know as one of the bartenders. She and her boyfriend are out and about a lot so we have chatted on many occasions. That was a good thing. Their beer selection was pretty poor, considering. And the one bottle of beer I requested they were out of - Dogfish Head 90 minute. Sigh. I hung out for about an hour and will probably go back again sometime. But I am not in any hurry to do so. Not terrible, but nothing that was that huge a draw for me. Decent scenery, the food looked ok, and the beer was ok. OK?
Since that was a decent experience but short, I decided to pop back to the house for a minute and then to head downtown for a known quantity - the Red Dove. Jessica would be bartending since it was Tuesday. During my pop in I put on a movie for mom (which she thought was really bad - another Fred and Ginger movie - Swing Time or Shall We Dance - I don't remember which I put on for her - I think the latter) and checked my messages and such which is where I discovered the potential for rain.
Walking downtown is great. It is one of the things I like best about living here in Geneva. Yay! Saw a guy I know who works at the Smith. And later - after the rain had started, I saw David coming back from trivia. Another couple, who I had seen at the restaurant, acknowledged me, connected me with the restaurant and told me that Red Dove was closed. I figured I would walk there and see what the note on the door said, but never made it. As I was walking near the FLounge, David and Wendy were huddled in a doorway - so I gallantly offered them to share my umbrella - which is almost big enough for three. They were going to stop in at their place - the Flounge - for a bit before heading to dinner and invited me in! We had a nice time talking about all sorts of things - politics and religion too - and having some beer. Naked Dove Porter! Yay and yum. I hope I didn't overstay my welcome, but it was nice to chat with two intelligent adults for a change! People near my own age - mostly.
See, so, umbrellas are a good thing!

Another Day, Another Movie
Not sure why, but I have been watching a lot of movies lately. Hmm. Like last night. I actually went to bed early-ish. Then I found myself in Netflix and looking for entertainment. And lo and behold, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol appeared on my list. I had seen it once before but it was long ago and I had forgotten most of it. Fun stuff, despite Tom Cruise.
Other than that, I took two long walks. One from the car place, one back to the car place. Since we are taking a road trip, I decided that it would be a good idea to get the car looked at. Dave's Car Repair always looks but doesn't mess unless something is really not happy. Like the tires this go-round. Not sure how they got all out of alignment and wonky, but I could tell they were not happy. Feel and sound when driving were causing me a little concern. All better now. And as Dave said as I was driving off - I am carrying precious cargo. :)
I do enjoy walking. And the walk from my house downtown and back is a pleasant one. Shady tree lined streets for the most part on the route I took. Mostly, I didn't see anyone I know. In each direction, though, at about the same place on the trip oddly, I did run into people. On the way back from dropping off the car, I helped a lovely young woman be assured that she was headed in the right direction and on the right path to her destination. I am guessing she is a new professor at Hobart. In the other direction, at the same point in the trip, I ran into David, who works at the Smith. We chatted for a while and then he asked if I could help out on Friday running a projection for a graduation. Of course, I can. He said he will send details. Yippee!
Dinner was hamburgers, tater tots, orange glop (sweet potato) for mom, baked corn and a large salad. Yay! What are we having tonight? I have no idea!!

And even more glasses
I think I am finding as many glasses as I thought I had. At least 100. Yay. They are barely fitting on the dining room table. If I had known and thought ahead I would have put in an extra leaf. But I didn't and I didn't. Not a big deal. In taking them out, I think I have seen at least 20 that I can let go of without thinking. Duplicates and the like - who needs 3 Obama glasses? I certainly don't. Or three Kona glasses - though they are a really nice dark blue. Well, haven't gotten to the letting go bit yet. Though I did have an epiphany-let that I could probably let go of most of the generic glasses pretty easily - the ones that just have a beer company's logo on them and the logo isn't all that exciting.
Meanwhile, excavation of the porch continues. I hope to be able to set it up sometime this week. If worse comes to worst - or whatever that phrase is - I will just move some of the stuff off the porch to make it doable. It is really a two person job, but there is only me.
Part of the issue, I think, is that I am loathe to put boxes in the attic and in the basement. I am slightly concerned that they will go out of sight and out of mind. Right now, I am making the choice to go through some of the boxes, especially since many of them were not packed by me.
I went for another nice walk yesterday. Unfortunately, during the walk I discovered that a woman I was mildly interested in romantically was not apparently similarly inclined. Oh well. C'est fromage. Moving on...
I love little wins - winlets. Don't get me wrong, I love big wins too, but little ones are pretty pleasant. Yesterday, while redistributing a box, I came across a bag with some shower curtain rings. Yay! I was about four short for the shower curtain in the house. Yippee! What are some of those phrases - waste not, want not (the hoarders credo) - good things come to those who wait (rock on procrastinators) - and seek and ye shall find (I bet criminals like this one a lot...). Anyway, the shower curtain is now fully ringed! I will also not need to buy shampoo for a while - I found my stash of liberated shampoos from my days of travel. Years of travel more like. And a brush. Not sure what the brush is for. I don't think it is a hair brush. I am posting a picture. Please tell me what to use this brush for. Or it is going in to the "leave my life" pile. Heck, it might just go there anyway...
This does not mean that I am going to start posting photos again regularly on the blog. I will need to upgrade my computer stuff in some way before that happens. And who knows when that will be possible.

More Glasses
I thought that I had a lot of beer glasses that I had collected over the years. When I pulled out the ones I had found, it looked like I only had sixty or so. That was weird. Then, yesterday, as I was doing some more redistribution/sorting/culling work, I found four more boxes of glasses. And I think I caught glimpses of a couple more. Yay!
Went for a loooooong walk today. Ok, not really that long. Just longer than I expected. And it was scary in parts. Not because of a lack of sidewalks, which was the case, but because in two instances, I might possibly have been trespassing. And with all of the Second Amendment nutcases out there, I was afraid someone might start shooting their Assault Rifles at me before they started asking questions. Eeeek!
I walked from my house to a newishly opened branch of a winery from around Keuka Lake called Ravines. There were people tasting when I got there and more kept coming in while I was doing my thing. They had some decent wines. And the woman who was helping me (who was Monty's mom from the day before) was extremely personable. I think I will go back a couple more times. They have wine pairings that aren't very expensive and sound pleasant - a cheese one and a chocolate one. Yay!
The walk back seemed to take a lot less time. We shall see if I walk next time or not.
Saw a movie called Cashback last night. It was a bit on the quirky side, but fun and entertaining. A romantic comedy with Emilia Fox in it, who I have seen in a couple other shows - like Merlin. Unfortunately the British version of what sounds like Bones isn't readily available here in the US - Silent Witness.

Redistribution
That is what I ought to be calling my unpacking - redistribution. I am redistributing the stuff I brought from NC to various locations. Mostly around the house, but I would also like some of it to leave my possession and travel the world on its own. The decisions for the most part are, intellectually, easy. The reality is something else again. What to do with the myriad (not literally - I think there might be 100 or so) glasses is a good, real question. And all of the books. Well, some of the books. I am trying to do a good job of culling and so far have a largish pile of books to get rid of. Part of me just wants to take them to the Library and let them try to get rid of them. Part of me would like to try to sell them, because any money into the coffers can be helpful. I'll figure it out later. Yay for later! I am thinking of having a yard sale of some kind next fall when the students come back. Only sort of looking forward to the effort involved therein. Sigh.
Finding all sorts of great things as I unpack/redistribute. One of today's finds was some clothing - robes mostly. I wish I had someone with whom to wear my sexy robes - yes, men can have sexy robes. I have two of them. They were, I believe, actually my father's. Weird, but still sexy. I also came across my camel hair, silk jacket from China. Love that. Not a lot of opportunities to wear it. Another warm, terri cloth robe. And my dress/warm mid weather coat. And one half of two pairs of animal slippers. Great tub full of stuff!
What else of note? I am reading a very clinical book about Alzheimer's. When I finish it, I will give it a quick review. So far, not that scintillating.
And walking is good for you. I met a nice dog named Monty being walked by his owner! Yay!

Broke a plate
I broke a plate while washing dishes yesterday. A concern that I have almost every time I do dishes. I do them by hand - don't really care for dishwashing machines. Dishwashing is misspelled according to Firefox. Really? Anyway, I didn't cry. It wasn't like it was milk or anything. Aren't you proud of me? I am proud of me! I don't like breaking things, but it happens.
Had a pleasant day, despite the broken plate. I had thought that might be a sign of things to come, a portent even - but it wasn't. Nothing disastrous or momentous occurred. The new aide, who is now not the new aide since she has been here four times, came and did some work around the house. Kept herself busy, which is good. Sometimes, I can't think of things for the aides to do. And sometimes mom can. Go mom!
Took a little walk around the HWS campus running errands. Or should I say walking errands... It was a gorgeous, albeit chilly, day. Nice to actually get outside for a breath of fresh air. I need to do that more often. I still would like a bike to materialize in my life. One will eventually, I am sure.
Saw a movie last night - No Strings Attached - starring Natalie Portman and some guy. I, like many other males, enjoy watching Natalie (may I call her Natalie, or should I say Ms. Portman - do people say Ms. anymore, or does that just help to show how old I am?) do just about anything - even reading the proverbial (or anecdotal) telephone book. I forget how short she is! I am a sucker for Romantic Comedies. Yes, hope springs eternal for me where romance is concerned and movies like this just fuel that inane belief. Back to the movie. I enjoyed it and would recommend it for fans of romantic comedies or fans of Natalie Portman's.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
That is one of the many things I did on this interesting Friday. Yay for interesting days. I like 'em. Well, interesting to me.
I didn't have any exciting epiphanies - so you don't have that to look forward to. Pretty much a straight forward I did this, I did that sort of blog post. Seems to be a lot of those on here. Hey, I never promised to always be pithy. I promised to sometimes be mildly interesting and somewhat entertaining now and again...
I did shovel for the first time this year! Yay! I shoveled from the front door to the main sidewalk. At the same time, the college guy in his little tractor zoomed up and chose not to shovel the part of the walk from the last house they own on the block to the corner. What kind of crap is that? I will have to write a note to the President of the college and see if he can do something about that...I mean it would have taken him 30 seconds, truly and literally to do that part of the sidewalk. Whatever.
After shoveling I headed downtown - to exchange rolled coins for little pieces of paper - the paper weighed a lot less than the coins! I also mailed a package for mom and a snail mail letter. At the post office, I was wowed by the attractiveness of the clientele! None gave me a second glance, but I am used to that. :) Next, I walked back home. Oh, I almost forgot, walking does have side benefits - like discovering that there is now an Indian Restaurant here in Geneva! How awesome is that? Mom and I will have to try it before it closes... :)
Another writing post has gone up!
