What's New? Bagel Bread and Lounge Socks

Sleep/Lounge socks. I guess they're new. Bought some at the Ocean State Job Lot. They would look a lot better on taut ankles, and thin tanned young legs. Mine look sort of shlumpish on winter-white average legs. Winter white is not always good.

Yesterday, I dropped dead in my tracks to the cheese department at Shaw's to gape at the latest weirdness: Bagel Bread. It was kind of square, and the slices (?) looked thick. Came in bunch of flavors, just like bagels, but no blueberry/cinnamon.

I am a purist, always bordering on horrified by the gimmickry the admen come up with. The only good bagels come from New York, the best from a shop off Northern Blvd. en route to Long Island. Second best are in Stockbridge, MA. Most of the bagels one encounters are pap, and taste accordingly. And now, bread bagels. Phooey.

People, do not panic due to yesterday's market tumble. What goes down, etc., We've had a couple of good years. So Suck it Up and bide your time.

Disgusted but not panicky,
