  My friend A. stopped by this afternoon  to pick up the main course and the soups which I make for her and her  parents J and D every  weekend. I usually deliver these comestibles to their home;   but today it was more convenient for A to get them at my home. A. asked me about the main course I'd made.  A simple question indeed. But for reasons I cannot understand ( but welcomed) I could not give her a direct answer, Instead I began to giggle helplessly.  I could not stop.  I let my giggles take their course. What a relief!  My uncontrolled giggles relieved so much tension in my body (sacroiliitis); and in my mind and spirit.  I had let my guard down.  OLE!  Good For Me! And that main course? Egg Noodles, cooked in coconut milk, with mirepoix veggies, mushrooms and  meat balls. Good food, but my giggles were better!

  Dad, are we pyromaniacs? Yes, we arson. What do you say to comfort a friend who's struggling with grammar? There, their, they're. I lost my girlfriend's audiobook, and now I'll never hear the end of it.

Innocence is bliss when it's folly to be wise!

FREEDOM TO BE STUPID    DEATH WILL FOLLOW. U.K.  Prime Minister Boris the Buffoons   plays Russian Roulette with the British Public. (see N.Y. Times article  below) He has taken inspiration  from former U.S.A. President Trump; and from the Governors of Texas (Abbott); Florida (DeSantis) - and others. To hell with the epidemiologists; with SAGE in the U.K.;  and the C.D.C. in the U.S.A. The economy is more important than human lives. Freedom Day is Disaster Day.   It's freedom to be stupid. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/12/world/europe/england-coronavirus-johnson-freedom.html
