In case you need a reminder, Saturday is 4-20 and all it brings. So if hightailing it for Hudson, hit up The Hideaway for boatloads of discounted stuff like 50 percent off select glassware to get the best vibe possible for a great day, as it and the next day are days off, so enjoy! And if elsewhere in the metro and a bit abound, they have a full dozen stores around, so it’s not exactly like they’re hiding away.

Toby’s tales were told via tune by a not-so-tiny Tim, and would he do the same for Bruce Willis, as he also tributes another Bruce as in Springsteen, with Phil Collins on drums? They are (soon) gone, but not by smothering, that would be Tommy’s tome, but wait he’s now still there! Filling orders was again the order of the day, and filling you in on how there’s a kinda local connection to certain deaths gives you some sense of order, oh celeb watcher. (And catch more of the story, now added on the end.)

It did its part, the total eclipse at the start. But the sky had fallen short, as early as afternoon, when we were at our cloudiest at its earliest here, said the weather woman on TV. So it was on her lips, not the eye of the sun but those clouds that eclipsed the eclipse, rather then having the blockage of the sun cause it. No “blackout” here.

Yes Virginia, there was a time before A.D. Although the life of Christ has held a sway for many hundreds of years of our lives, like perhaps no other as far as its overall impact, culture and heritage did flow before then. So following Easter, the first one since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, let us reflect and insert more of a sense of global and importantly historical perspective. Looking to music and dance, classical and otherwise.

What, you have Tourette Syndrome or some other severe ill, and you end up spending a night in jail? And need your meds? “Not in our town …” What you need to know behind the recent county public safefy referendum, and why it’s a long-needed step in the right direction, but I do applaud it … If for no other reason, liability looms. But here’s cheers to building on what’s already there, and making a positive new start. (And for some humor on the day, or night, that could have gotten you in such a state, see Notes From The Beat.)

The tale is fishy, even if viewed through a fish-eye lens. (As is the three-part holiday set in the Notes From The Beat.) On Good Friday, I was back to going Lutheran, which is what I grew up as, since no fish was to be found. Taco Tuesday, typically, is on the other side of the week. But hey, on this day even the ailing pope skipped his usual walk through the park of the dozen holy stations, or to a distant dining room. So there’s hope for the rest of us?

Holidays are more than ham, though that’s great too, but you have to wait. Or fish when later in this week comes. And turkey comes a-calling? What happens when after a season of waiting expires, and there is the meaty meal of the day, and then another offering on the eve, and then a prime third choice, on the next (seventh of the week) day? Ham thus takes a back seat to all the other buffet bounty that is out there, now that Easter comes around. Lamb, lambast it, even goes on the lam. Lean and mean. (See below for more fake foodie stuff.)

Where’s the beef? It is here. My sister-in-law went far beyond the usual ham for a meaty holiday dinner. But

A history lesson, with five if not four or six, letters laden down with language like that in a big, bad legislative bill. But how many past and current presidents have a name of that many letters, (five which itself is actually spelled out in four digits), and not with doctorate degree added, and various potency, by level, was “shown.” This post, if you rest your ADHD, contains many dozens of terms, nouns ideally, in this letter format. And another post with such play on numbers if not word is about a dozen down.
