Reasons to be Cheerful


Recommended Posts

I should have said this was Motel Morris. Walked by a thousand times, first time there. Good drinks, good service not only for me but it was obvious they are running serious, professional service all over the room. Food looked good too.

A few months ago I broke a jug that had been in my family for years. And broke it badly. I have periodically looked into getting it repaired but the estimates were daunting.

It finally dawned on me that, as it’s an old but well-known design, I could replace it and transfer my memories to the new jug. Happy with that decision.

The kid's baseball equipment which we had believed to be stolen (bag, 2 mitts, batting gloves, batting helmet, cleats) earlier in the season has been found by a kid on another team. Fortunately, we know some of kids on that team and one of the mom's contacted me.

No doubt a difficult but IMHO a very healthy decision.   I am unequaled in beating myself up over monetarily inconsequential but sentimental lost or broken items.

I was exchanging books at my library tonight (nysoclib.org) and there was a greeting party for new members. I am not a new member. The head librarian caught me trying to leave and ordered me upstairs to tell new members how great the place is. I did talk it up to three of them, which earned me my plastic cup of wine. ❤️

I'm always proud of Significant Eater, but this was especially nice to receive last week:

And now it will be her 4th change of administration.  These are the people who actually do the work of keeping the stuff working.
