Try to get to beach everyday to sit and read.  This week had to wear a parka and hat, and of course social distancing love to sit at the beach and read and relax.

MAY 15 Kings of Infinite Space – a Zoom performance fundraiser Friday, May 15, 2020 at 8 PM – 9:30 PM

 

Kings of Infinite Space

A fundraiser performance to benefit MAGMA featuring
Sarah Slifer Swift, Paul Catania, Lisa Bouchie, Kate Tarlow Morgan, Fontaine Dubus, Trisha Zembruski
…and other special guests

As with many local businesses in the COVID-19 public health emergency, MAGMA has suffered large losses. This evening of performance is to celebrate our performers, deliver an evening of hope, humor, creativity, and wildness to all of our supporters, and hopefully to put a little money in the MAGMA coffers so we can survive these times.

What Sorcery Is This?

Pop Up Wildlife !

I received a lovely selection of pop up wildlife from my children for Mother’s Day. They know how much I enjoy studying our backyard birds as well as bigger raptors. It’s a really cool gift. Maybe they make them in hummingbirds? Someone send one to our boss Joey please.

Please Do Not Forget Nail Salon and Beauty Salon Gift Certificates For Mother’s Day Gifts- These workers could use your support

I know I spend lots of time talking about restaurants because I just happen to have food on my brain all the time.

But there will be a time when our beauty and nail salons will open back up for business and when they do you can bet your ass that your mom is going to want to be pampered.

We have a wonderful community of beauty salon workers that can use your support and one way to do that is to buy gift certificates for the moms in your life.

It’s an easy purchase and they sure could use your support.

They are important contributors to our local economy, let’s not forget them. 

I know Kate, Felicia and my Mom consider these people close like family and your wives, moms and sisters probably feel the same way.

Do Yourself A Favor And Buy This Cheap Knife Sharpener Instead Of Cursing At Your Dull Knives All Day Long Like An Idiot

We have some expensive knives that are dull as hell. It is aggravating knowing how much they cost and that when they’re dull they might as well be tossed in the shitcan because they’re virtually useless.

Bring them to a knife sharpener and besides being a pain in the ass, it’s fairly costly.

Enter the cheap and easy to use and super effective “Sharp N Easy” knife sharpener. Under $10. Four passes on the coarse side and four passes on the fine side and your dull-ass knife is razor sharp. Check out the demonstration where I go with the before and after cutting the paper. Before sharpening it would bounce off the paper. After eight total passes it sliced right through.

You are literally an idiot not to buy one and keep it in your knife drawer

Eric Lorden from Passports told me about this about six years ago and I didn’t act. So now I’m pissed off at myself for going all these years with expensive dull knives when I could have always had sharp knives for hardly money.

Here’s the link to purchase
