random acts of kindness

1) rang doorbell of home twice. no answer (perhaps because of my appearance or because nobody was there). removed keys from front door lock and slid them through the mail slot.

2) after happy hour at Khyber, helped blind man cross the street (Market/2nd).

note: not concerned about burning "karma points" by talking about these deeds since the actions were not done for some kind of "karma payoff".

was walking around in South Philly a couple of days ago and quite a few homes had cardboard Easter Rabbits/eggs in the windows, some homes even flying "Rabbit" flags. asked a barkeep at an Irish pub if it is standard practice in that part of town. She answered that she wasn't real familiar with South Philly but that alot of Catholics live in the area. anyway, thought it sort of interesting.

Cascarones* (easter eggs that kids love vs hard boiled/colored eggs)

carefully break a dozen eggs (keep carton for egg storage until Easter hunt) trying to salvage at least 3/4 of the shell (I don't know, make a large omelette or something)

wash/clean interior of shell. let dry.

paint eggs, let dry, then fill with confetti and top/glue colored tissue, "cone-head shaped" over opening. hide eggs in yard. let kids break the confetti eggs on each other's heads. fun.

*Cascarone

\Cas`ca*ron"\, n. [Sp. cascar['o]n.] Lit., an eggshell; hence, an eggshell filled with confetti to be thrown during balls, carnivals, etc. [Western U. S.]

Open Letter:

re: 3-24-07 comic strip

Dear Mallard Fillmore (Bruce Tinsley) & "Mr. Egghead Scientist,"

Perhaps "global cooling" and "global warming" are the flipside of the same coin. It is better to err on the side of caution than to err with the side of deceit, i.e., just because a smoker does not develop cancer doesn't mean that cigarettes are healthy.

Sincerely,

this morning (Sun., March 25th) finally made, what for me was, a perfect cup of coffee (Wawa's) to help relieve the beer fog.

med empty cup:

first put two packs of sugar, then french vanilla creamer (couple of tablespoons), adding enough liquid to more than cover the sugar, then filled the cup about half way with mocha from the prefab/industrial coffee machine gizmo. filled the rest of the cup with freshly brewed black coffee. hm hm good.

also, saw two very good art shows yesterday (Sat.)

the first, a collaborative effort from some artists based in Denmark whose art dealt with multiples, text, and sculpture.

the second, influential designer Dan Friedman (1945-1995) who termed his pieces "radical modernist"
