Rainy Day Musings

     For some reason this morning, I was wishing I had some Ovaltine. Thinking back, I think it tasted like malted milk balls. A glass of Ovaltine and a buttery grilled cheese sandwich could make me sing and swing my legs while sitting at the kitchen table. Thinking of this made me think of something else. As a teenager I loved 2 thin slices on toasted white bread with mayo and sliced tomato, black pepper on the tomato. The sandwich had to be sliced so one piece of Spam was on 1/2 of the bread. I have to laugh--I never thought of that before. I know someone who would say "See Ms. Van, I told you, you are anal."

You know, I try not to talk about UMD. I get a lot of telephone calls these days. I simply don't or won't discuss it with people. Reading all that is happening really bothers me. Learning that top folks may be asked to turn in their resignations is just devastating. I am sure that all will not be removed. For me UMDNJ is extended family. Some you love, some you don't--but you do care about the whole family. That this is happening to my UMD family boggles my mind.

Atlantic City's slogan is "Always Turned On". Not the best slogan, but much better than one Las Vegas has. Too bad they did not give it more thought. MMmm, maybe they gave it just the right thought? "What Happens Here, Stays Here" It sounds as if they are inviting you to misbehave and are promising not to tell. :-( 

There is a show that comes on right after "Who's the Boss?: reruns. I don't know the name of the show but the host has people doing stupid, dangerous and ugly things. Since I don't bother changing the channel when I am typing (unless the show becomes to vile for me) I just leave it. I just looked up and noticed that the men and women are always pretty and always buff. Don't these people know that you don't have to be buff and pretty to eat live worms, etc. Mmm--guess I'll turn tv off now. 

Monday was an odd day. I did not do any writing. Actually I did but it was all bad, so I stopped. I continued working on de-cluttering my computer and canceling my book club and CD accounts. Also, got rid of some of the newsletters, etc that I receive and never have time to read or no longer interested in the subject.  Sometimes junk mail titles are just plain funny, "sexy baby and bad erection?" is one that made me chuckle before deleting.

Going to mail finished product today. Feels good. 

I was saddened to learn that Coretta Scott King has died.
