The chicken I cooked tonight tasted very peculiar, very peculiar indeed. Darn that Met Food, anyway.

Slim and I just moved the car. Now dishes. Because we're both natural slatterns, we've developed the agreeable habit of reading aloud while the other washes. For a while we were reading from this oral history biog of Alexander Calder Matt picked up somewhere but it was exceedingly tedious and Calder had the habit of mentioning obsessively any "negroes" he encountered. Next we moved on to The Power Broker (talking of racists) which got us through many sinkfuls, let me tell you!
