A good Italian Chianti is my favorite wine, specifically Chianti Classico.

I particularly like Indian Curry. The seven foundational spices used most often in everyday Indian cooking are turmeric, cumin, coriander, mustard seeds, red chili powder, cardamom, and garam masala. Garam masala includes ground roasted spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and cumin, usually sprinkled on at the end of cooking.

I like macadamia nuts, but not often. Macadamia nuts are the highest in calories among common edible nuts, containing about 204 calories per one-ounce (28-gram) serving (or roughly 718 calories per 100 grams).

BREAKING NEWS: Gloria Steinem Dead At 92 (Sept. 3, 2026)

Gloria Steinem Dead !!!

Gloria Steinem, feminist and founder of Ms. magazine, has died yesterday and announced today, at age 92.

In the 1990s, the staff of Ms. magazine spelled the word "feminism" wrong on the cover of an issue. At the time, it made me laugh. This photo is NOT digitally altered because I actually bought a copy at a newsstand in New York City, thinking that it may be worth something someday. This is the actual cover, however it's not my issue. I still have the magazine in a storage unit. It now could actually be worth something.

I know it's not nice to celebrate the death of anyone, but I have been a Men's Rights Activist since the early 1990s, when I was in my early 30s. Nah. I'm not celebrating. It's just that death is inevitable; she lived a long life; and I am not as headstrong, having mellowed over the years in regard to Men's Rights Activism. I'm still a warrior, but now, I'm just a keyboard warrior, hence this post.

We were distant and indirect adversaries, fighting on opposite sides of the same coin, trying to meet in the middle. Well, she and her followers were and still are fighting for female superiority over men, basically the oppression of men by women, but that's a different story.

It's somewhat like liberals wanting the death of Donald Trump, but WITHOUT the malice. NO malice and NO hatred toward Steinem comes from me.

It's more like that Star Trek episode, where that old space sailor's spaceship was stuck inside an alien monster. He was finally liberated after many years by the Star Trek people. The last scene shows him navigating his ship back inside the monster, seemingly because he misses their adversarial relationship. I never read "Moby Dick," but I think it's similar. Is it?

Everyone needs an adversary. That's the popularity of sports and related rivalries. Anyway, it's sad that she is gone, but then again, there are plenty more adversaries in this regard.

Trivia: I remember reading in the 1990s that WOMEN had more subscriptions to Playboy magazine than to Ms. magazine, which went from a monthly magazine to being published every other month due to low readership. I'm not sure if they ditched the print version and are just sticking with the digital version.

I like Welsh Rarebit, but I haven't eaten it in a long while. You can sometimes find it packaged by Stouffer's in the frozen-food section of supermarkets. While Welsh Rarebit is basically toasted bread topped with cheese, it has a reputation of causing bizarre and disturbing nightmares after being consumed. Some say this is the truth. Some say that it is just a myth. A basic explanation is that eating cheese promotes the REM sleep state, which is when dreaming occurs.

I have had beards on and off throughout my adult life. I currently have somewhat of a beard because I haven't been able to stand to shave because of recent surgeries and other medical issues.

I would often go bowling when I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s. I never played in a league.

Murderer?

From husband Bill, Sept. 3, 2026

I wasn't going to post anything about this because it involves one family in a world filled with billions of families, but it seems to be the topic of the moment. The government, no matter what party is in charge, loves stories like this because it takes attention off of what the government is doing. Anyway, what do you think?

Should Lindsay Clancy be found guilty of "allegedly" killing her three children? INFO: She admitted to doing it. She told her therapist that when she was strangling her three children to death, she said, "Go to God. She jumped out of a window and is now in a wheelchair. She told her husband that she was going to do it.

Yet, millions of women around the world support her (think she's not guilty). There has been millions of dollars raised for her defense. Why? Do some women support other women regardless of anything, even killing their children? Is it because she killed more boys than girls? It doesn't make sense to me. I thought murderers should be criminally punished.

I don't know all of the facts, but from what she said, she seems guilty to me. She admitted to doing it, with details. I say, "Lock her up, and t'row away da key," said and heard in a New York City accent.

NOTE: Nine out of the 12 jurors are women, and at the time of this post, there's a hung jury. No surprise, as well as no surprise if found not guilty.

Today, we recognize words that do not rhyme with any other words in the English language, like the word orange. Eminem said that it "pisses me off" when people claim the word orange does not rhyme with anything, explaining that you can make it rhyme by bending and breaking down syllables. In an interview, he famously freestyled the lines: "I put my orange, four-inch, door-hinge in storage and ate porridge with George."

Prostate Cancer Awareness: Video

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I created and uploaded a short video last year in this regard onto my YouTube channel. (length: 1 minute) ... I thought it better to post it again instead of creating and posting a new video where I would say the same thing.

Prostate Cancer Awareness

From husband Bill, August 31, 2026, home

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

1 in 6 men with have prostate cancer in his lifetime compared to 1 in 8 women who will have breast cancer in her lifetime. Prostate cancer is more deadly than breast cancer. Federal funding for breast cancer research is 600 percent HIGHER than federal funding for prostate cancer research. That's SIX TIMES HIGHER !!!

Dad Birthday Video

Happy Birthday To My Dad

From husband Bill, August 30, 2026, home

Happy Birthday to my father (August 30, 1934 - February 14, 1997). I still sorely and immensely miss him.

The top photo shows my dad and me in December 1974 at the house of my great-aunt Rose in East Orange, New Jersey. I was 13 years old. The bottom photo shows my dad aboard the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) cruise ship during the 1980s; I can't remember exactly when it was.

My dad died at age 62 on his mother's birthday -- she passed away on May 22, 1977 -- and the day after the birthday of his sister who still resides on Long Island, New York.

Dad was cremated. Half of his ashes were interred at Breslau Cemetery in Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York. The other half of his ashes were scattered into the North Atlantic Ocean from a U.S. Navy ship. Dad served 22 years in the Navy and retired at the rank of Commander. He was a few months short of Captain. He served on a ship in the late 1950s, transporting World War II DPs (displaced persons or, as he called them, delayed pilgrims) from Bremerhaven, Germany, to New York City.

For decades, my dad owned and operated three agencies in Lindenhurst, the town where he grew up: insurance, real estate, and travel. The latter was run by my mother; we now live less than a mile from each other in southeastern Florida. My dad retired to Maryland in the early 1990s, but he soon became a car salesman.

My father had a twin brother named Wilbur who died in 1935 at the age of 9 months due to spinal meningitis.

Note: My dear friend's departed father from childhood in the 1960s shares the same birthday as my dad, so I wish him a Happy Birthday.

My favorite beach is Robert Moses State Park, Fields 4 and 5, on the south-central coast of Long Island, New York. I grew up several miles from this beach.

When I lived there, I loved it during the summertime, but I preferred walking on its shoreline, embracing the coldness of wintertime.

I live in southeastern Florida, and no beach can even compare to the greatness of Fields 4 and 5.

Grief fades over time, but never truly disappears, so we learn to live within it. Some people unfortunately never learn how. Remember the good times; forgive the bad times; no regrets; and continue on with your life. Remember them, but remember, life is for the living.
