At Letterbox Farm

After breakfast shoveled out to barn. Got car stuck on frozen snow bank. Pretty dumb. Got chicken from Letterbox Farm, then prescriptions. Picked up Karen for trip to Verizonwireless store for biannual upgrade. Process was very slow. Came back to manually install from iTunes backup.

Drove to Berkeley Heights for dinner with Ed et al. Maggie especially.

Talked Trump. Meredith is possessed by this crap. Had tuna melts for dinner.

Returned home by 9:45pm

Tuesday – 11/8/2016 – Election Day

Meeting with Chad Weckler at CEDC and Michael Tucker about commercial kitchens and Hudson-Creative. Arrived at the end of the meeting due to my calendar entry screw up. Tucker is loud and mostly about his own opinions.

Had coffee afterward with Chad. He told me of space offered to us at 3rd and State.

Drove to NYC. Arrived about 2pm. At MET Breuer – old Whitney. Diane Arbus and Kerry James Marshall.

Took selfies in our regular bench in the stairwell. Horse or fire station entries on E. 82nd St.

Back to Hudson in time to watch some of the election returns at Spotty Dog. Went home at about 10. I went to sleep about 11. Woke up at 3am to discover a headline from NYTimes announcing Trump’s victory. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for Hilary C I am distressed.

Only the peas added some color to the table, though as Ed pointed out they are just like everything save the turkey, very high in sugars/carbohydrates.
