I am going to get out of shape, I haven't taken a walk in a week. I planned on one yesterday, but I had a video doctor's appointment. If it was in person, I'd have walked one way. It was video because my doctor was sick. I feel bad, I disappointed him. He's been talking about the Beatles documentary for almost a year. I remember talking about when I had my colonoscopy. He got excited when he found out that I volunteered at WFUV and DJ on Folk Music Notebook. He's a music lover and we always talk music. I hadn't watched it yet as I was away. I started watching after I got off the video chat with him. I'll be prepared when I see him next time. I love his enthusiasm.

I didn't go for a walk, but I had to buy milk, so I went to the local supermarket two blocks away, … twice. Why twice? Because I'm an idiot. Have I mentioned that before? I have a collection of shopping bags, but I have a favorite nylon one, it's lighter, sits on my shoulder better, and packs tighter than the others. It was buried, but I dug it out and left for the supermarket. When I was almost there I realized I didn't have my bag. I decided to just buy a paper bag when I got there. Then when I went inside and was preparing to check out, I realized I forgot wallet. I put the milk back, the other things I kept in my basket that I sequestered in an out of the way corner and went home to get my wallet and now my bag. When I got back to the store, I had my wallet but once again forgot the bag. I told you that I'm an idiot. When I got home, I couldn't find the bag, I must have dropped it on the way to the supermarket. No great loss, I have plenty of bags but it's still annoying. I wish I had a brain.

I only started on the Beatles, a major project, but caught up on the TV I missed last week. Hawkeye, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe show, was great. It features not just the current Hawkeye, Clint Barton, but his successor, Kate Bishop. In an unusual switcheroo, the actress playing the 21-year-old Kate looks like she's in high school. TV is filled with high school students that look like they should be college grads. The actress playing her, Hailee Steinfeld, is going to be 25 in two weeks. She just looks much younger. I heard mixed reviews, but I give Hawkeye two thumbs up.

My dinner plan was a meatball parmesan hero. When I went to make it, I saw I was out of sauce. I called an audible and had peanut butter and bacon on the hero roll. That's a great combo. It just doesn't feel like dinner. After dinner I recorded Gord's Gold. If you click on the link, it will take you where all the shows are archived. You should catch up. You should subscribe.

I've already had the highlight of today. The door knocked and I saw it was a UPS guy. I had ordered some necessities from Amazon and figured it was my new shoes or something, but instead it was the best thing ever, Chocolate truffles and hot chocolate from New Chewing Allowed.  It was a gift from the Terrific Trisha. Simcha on Taxi was wrong, the greatest gift one person can give another is not $5,100 but Chocolate truffles and hot chocolate from New Chewing allowed. Chocolate is always the right size.

Now to make breakfast and take a real walk. Sadly, it will have to be shopping not a Donut Walk unless I decide to take an extra-long walk. I could do that. I'll see how I feel.
