Mutts, Avocados, & Raspberries

from husband Bill, July 31, 2026

I like mutts, avocados, and raspberries. (I am not such a fan of cake, although I do like frosting.)

Happy Father-in-Law Day to my father-in-law Bob (R.I.P.). He was not only down to earth but also larger than life. Here I am with Bob and my mother-in-law Lorna (R.I.P.) at our wedding reception when I married their daughter Aileen (Debbie) on February 4, 2006. Bob, you are sorely missed and forever in our thoughts and within our hearts. Of course, we also sorely miss Lorna.

I do NOT like cheesecake all that much.

I prefer my hot dogs with ketchup only.

I prefer ravioli, stuffed shells, and manicotti to lasagna.

I do not particularly like chicken wings.

Tigers are not native to Africa, so lions and tigers don't hang with each other. Tigers are native to India. Lions and tigers were thrown together to make old jungle movies more exotic.

Milk.Chocolate Day

I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate, but milk chocolate is good, too.

I sometimes like a Crème Brûlée.

I lived in New Jersey (two residences in different towns) from around 1994 until 1998, when I moved to southeastern Florida. I moved to New Jersey from Long Island, New York. I worked in New York City (Manhattan) from 1991 to 1998.

I do like the occasional scotch, but I prefer bourbon whiskey.

As for bagels, I prefer a straight sesame bagel, but I must say that I prefer a plain bialy to any bagel, with plain butter or sometimes cream cheese.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

Well, yes. I do like coffee milkshakes, but I prefer Black-and-Whites (shakes with chocolate syrup with vanilla ice cream). I believe that I enjoy straight chocolate shakes best: chocolate syrup with chocolate ice cream. Well, no: Black-and-Whites are actually the best due to posterity, and I like saying it.

My heartfelt love goes to all of my many aunts and my many uncles out there. I love you all.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad, who passed on February 14, 1997.

from husband Bill, July 26, 2026

My love goes to all of the disabled people out there, including myself.

I LOVE hot fudge sundaes. When I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s, I often ordered them with the fudge on the bottom, so I could save the fudge for last, after I ate all of the ice cream. Almost all of the fudge normally ended up down there anyway.

I am not such a fan of consuming wine and cheese together. I do like drinking a fruity red wine (Chianti) while eating pieces of very dark chocolate.

I used to hand-sew a little, when I was a young boy in the mid-1960s, as taught by my paternal grandmother on the kitchen table of my grandparents' house. My maternal grandmother had a foot-pedal-operated, non-electric Singer sewing machine in the basement of her house. My mom had an electric Singer sewing machine. My Mom-In-Law also sewed much more, regarding craft work for a senior-citizen facility.

I am not such a fan of the Merry-Go-Round ride.

New Piano Improv

from husband Bill, July 24, 2026

I create and uploaded onto my YouTube channel a new piano improv that I recorded on my wife's birthday. (length: 3 minutes, 51 seconds)

I like to sit at my digital piano and just start playing whatever is in my head at that time. I make it up as I go along. This is my method with all of my piano improvisations.

I do NOT particularly like vanilla ice cream. However, for some reason, I like a "Black and White," a milkshake made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. I usually like hardcore chocolate confections. I think that I like the milder Black and White because I just like saying it, when ordering.

from husband Bill, July 23, 2026

I prefer limes to lemons, and I prefer lemons to oranges, and I prefer oranges to grapefruits.

from husband Bill, July 23, 2026

Since I was a kid, I have thought "refreshments" had to be liquids. That is apparently not true, although I will always believe that "refreshments" must be liquids.
