they're growing

slightly MORE sprouted 🌱🌱

I guess I had stuff to talk about

the food dept

SAYS 

the Alabama hot slaw from the moosewood cookbook*

*it something like lunch at the moosewood or something like that it's my favorite one it's all soups & salads

is great on fish tacos 

& as a side

& on po boys

I guess 

moosewood makes me KINDA a hippy-ish

WHAT ---girlie

I remember seeing the broccoli forest cookbook 

on one of the shows when I was a kid

I'm pretty sure the author 

COOKED something 

& I was CHARMED by it somehow 

JUST attracted to the CONCEPT which was WHAT 

MAYBE 

there was an omelette recipe 

I was super into

OMELETTES

I'm not 💯 that I ever actually had the broccoli forest -- I think I did but it seems equally likely that WHEN you actually got old enough to GET yourself a cookbook 

I THINK you BOUGHT the LUNCH one

it was KINDA beautiful 

because the stories

HOW THIS 

BECAME 

a beloved dish, the person who brought the RECIPE 

& it was great because it was 

VERY SHARING 

they made it 

SO I felt

LIKE 

I had this WHOLE SENSE of the place 

I ENJOY a good cookbook

I KINDA think 

the broccoli forest was just one woman

BUT 

in the ensuing years 

the group had kinda worked it's way back in

& I think when I went to buy

BROCCOLI 

I had heard the scuttlebutt 

which was like MAYBE 

she didn't really have the rights to use

MOOSEWOOD 

I think I looked at whatever was available 

at THAT time 

but then subsequently

there are many

MORE 

I got some of those 

I should probably look at again

I got em thrift cheap on eBay 

& the STEW one

had a page ripped out 

& I MIGHT 

have bought a second copy

& been disappointed 

that it wasn't 

ACTUALLY 

the BEST 

RECIPE in the book 

OR 

that was a STORY I TOLD myself 

to KEEP myself FROM 

buying a second 

COPY 

I'm honestly not sure 

BUT 

my attempt to lay odds might be

don't bet against 

there being 

TWO books

it might not make sense, but just don't 

there's tai chi in a park I haven't been to 

BUT 

it's near things I know 

it's at a TIME 

when

TRAFFIC will be unavailable 

OR

a time TOO early 

I thought tai chi in the park SOUNDS fun 

then I'm all LIKE 

well then do you have other THINGS in the AREA 

I don't want to drive in traffic 

THREE we need to leave by three and have three hours of something planned in the AREA 

OR 

morning 

OR

I MEAN 

alternatively 

freak out at the IDEA of the park

there's a school of tai chi in the AREA that when I looked it UP

SEEMED 

to ONLY have free classes in parks

SO

MAYBE 

the school is one on one instruction 

idk

I think it might be awesome 

BUT 

I feel like I'm missing 

SOMETHING 

I have no 

CONTEXT

for

I MEAN 

do they program the park

I guess they DO

I went to the

PARK

website & looked at the calendar 

SO

do they pay the school 

OR

is it like a community thing

BUT 

if you like THIS we can show you MORE 

for an undisclosed amount

OH

it's late

SLEEP now

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 🫶 

sprouts are sprouting

LOOK 

they're starting to sprout 🌱 

YAY

check in march 18th

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 

I hope you are having a beautiful day 🫶 

stuff about my evening

also

kornacki primary results 

I guess it was

st patrick's 

& I ignored it as I mostly have 

the last time I went out for st patrick's*

*unless I was somehow out without being aware that it was st patrick's 

was LIKE 

twenty eleven 

I went to Fitzgerald's

somebody from work was having a 

SOMETHING 

it was semi- chill

TODAY

I watched Steve kornacki

tell me about illinois

the ANTI- ICE candidate 

won over the "established" candidate

BUT 

I don't think 

kat abu won

I like this configuration much better than 

the old MSNBC model

this is just him and his producer 

talking about counties

it's LIKE 

when they talk about

baseball player stats 

forty percent of the time 

in this configuration 

I really groove to that

number crunchy 

chit chat

or however you would describe that

I didn't clean through stuff 

I got overwhelmed 

I've had a headache 

& the changing weather is 

aggravating my sinuses 

BUT 

I've had a pretty good day anyway 

I hope you had a good day TOO 

I'm going to try to sleep now

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 

I think I'm still caught up 

trying to 

think

about clara's return to rwandan 

bog standard

scottsmen

I feel like I might learn 

I also probably 

should respond in some meaningful messages 

tied myself up ---too many variables 

am I even making sense at this point

---doubtful 

I do love a navaho rug on a cold night

goodnight sweetheart 🫶 

more thoughts

I am ALSO obsessed with 

PALMISTRY 

I feel like 

ALL

the palmistry is 

COMPLETELY --- not telling me what I want to KNOW 

ALSO

death & justice

CARDS

OH

and probably judgement and the tower 

BUT 

I got myself 

DISTRACTED 

with the IDEA of them all being

like VINTAGE neon

or maybe 

SIGNS

check in march 17th

I DECIDED 

I wanted to go to 

I was trying to talk myself into

couldn't quite make myself go to the

unitarian church

that I'm trying to convince myself is walking distance 

AND

I'm just NOT buying

ANY

of

THAT 

& THEN I remembered there's a UNITY 

and I thought about that 

AND

I wasn't BUYING THAT either 

you HAVE to interact with people 

SO I thought 

MAYBE 

buddhists, maybe 

I'm finding 

some interesting stuff 

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for 

I've shut down 

I'm looking for people I would enjoy to be around 

I haven't tried buddhists yet 

there's a place

really close

that was started by 

a religion 

professor 

and 

a therapist 

it's supposed to be tibetan buddhism 

AND

there's a  ---nam myoho renge kyo

really pretty close 

there's the zen center 

in the heights 

& I've known about that

didn't THINK I'd like it

SEEMS

I'm not sure whether to say

intimidating &/or off- putting 

there's this

I MEAN 

it's in a beautiful old house

in a neighborhood of

EXPENSIVE 

houses

it's all beautiful 

BUT 

it's TOO MUCH too far

it feels too SERIOUS maybe 

I thought about it 

YEARS AGO

I didn't WANT to go 

the tibetan one

I have no idea

well, that's not true

I watched some videos 

I'm not sure 

I watched the people who lead the meditation 

I'm not sure I love the chant

I think I'd rather learn it

in tibetan 

the chanting 

SHOULD REALLY BE

the cool part

BUT 

they seem like

REAL people 

they're 

TALKING to the 

ASSEMBLED

group 

like they are capable of 

& YET 

I don't really KNOW what I WANT 

if I WANT the SHOW

or the people 

I guess I WANT a SHOW in the SENSE that 

I WANT a KINDA 

ritual something something 

I ALWAYS kinda

wanted that

BUT 

I could never really find it anywhere 

& I stopped looking years ago

BUT 

it's necessary for the rebuild 

I gotta interact with 

the FRAMEWORK 

I'm not sure

WHY

check in march 16th-ish

I'm sorry 

it's like my mind was

WORKING on an SOMETHING 

& I just didn't 

TALK 

I'm not

SURE what it's doing 

NOT just ONE thing

I THINK 

I love the way the slow banjo sounds

& I'm slipping 

into the nooks & crannies in the narrative 

by which I mean

I don't know what I think 

about all the

directions I'm running with it

I'm ALSO 

really thinking about 

TIME TRAVEL 

which I haven't done in a while 

I started the sunflower seeds 

I cleaned some 

I listened to

some videos about the RED BOOK*

*carl jung

some videos with handpan

edgar casey predictions of 2026
