I cannot believe it, but I am off (again) for a weekend. I hope that whatever higher-power that has pushed this bit of luck my direction does not take that as a complaint; I just cannot believe the luck involved, and thought that I'd open by stating so.

This Saturday, I am going to a party at the home of some friends. I believe I will need to purchase a new bathing suit, since the one from last year is once again too large for me (again, I feel a need to specify that -- that is not a complaint), and the one(s) that fit me are faded and (quite old) are from the days when I younger. These FIT me, but are not well suited for wearing around a group of people, due to fading or rips... [That of course, depends on the WEATHER, which may not even be suited to suiting up in the first place.] I digress.

So, Friday night, I will make a spinach artichoke dip; with the acceptable dipping goodies (chips and crackers and celery and carrots), AND a version of a 7-layer dip... albeit a meatless version.

I will be escorting (or have the pre-arranged company of) a lady I recently met elsewhere. Oddly, her first initial is also "j", which means should things progress, I will have to find a way to specify about whom I am writing. [?]
