That Thing Again (with cheese)
I was cutting up some Gruyere cheese tonight for onion soup. Whenever I take off the rind, I can’t bear to throw away any of the good bits that are close to it, so I use the knife to cut as near to the edge as I can. One of the small pieces fell onto the cutting board and stayed like this. I have written before about things landing on the narrow end and remaining upright. This just seems so lame to post about, but I still find it interesting and cheering. Read about it here, here, and here. (Or not; sometimes I can’t imagine anyone else being interested in the stuff that I find amusing.) Anyway, hope you all have a great week. And thanks for all the Kickstarter support. I am really blown away by it.
Eating in car
Peter and I were once in Northampton at a stoplight and we noticed that the person driving the car next to us was eating a bowl of cereal while waiting for the light to change. She saw us looking at her and smiled sheepishly. / I walked by a car recently and saw this bowl on the front seat. Looks like they might have had some coffee too.
NYY Steak
I’m not sure why this seems so funny to me. Maybe because I remember Bill Simmons referring to Hal and Hank as Uday and Qusay. Cris and I were at Yankee Stadium yesterday for our nephew Adam’s NYU graduation, and after the ceremony John and Lynne took us upstairs for a memorable lunch at NYY Steak. We did it last year when Adam got his undergrad degree, and I had failed to notice the display of knives near the elevators. This year I saw them. Everybody’s there including Rudy Giuliani, although I didn’t have time to look for the empty spot where Ronan Tynan’s used to be.
