I was about done with my tofurkey on a roll–enjoyed out front of the Pub with L.–when I got a phone call with some very sad news and was reminded just how fleeting and blessed is the chance to eat a meal at roughly the same time in the middle of every day. How instantly the patterns of our mealtimes can change. So I walked over to this bench that was recently put out on the lawn as a tribute to another kind of life-changing moment–”On this spot in 1965 S. first met P. Married in June 1968, this bench celebrates their lucky encounter.” I took off my shoes and stuck my feet in the grass and got hot in the sun and finished reading the newspaper. Bees were flying back and forth low to the ground amid the clover, but I did not get stung.

Day 2 of my busted tire ordeal: a little wiser today, I decided to explore the mall’s food court. I am so glad I get to spend most of my lunches at home. Outside food options suck and, to add insult to injury, cost a lot. Today, I had a caldo tlalpeno and an enchilada. Much tastier than yesterday’s “meal”. At the stall, there was a sign posted meant to reassure their clients that their tomatos are safe to consume because they wash them with a “chlorine solution”. Yum. That is the same stuff that comes out of my tap at home.

Turkey sandwich, ridiculous number of tortilla chips.
