Somehow I made it to day 100…the first of the triple digits. I didn’t know how to celebrate such an occasion. Luckily I found this cake and 3 candles. What are the chances?
My 365 journey has taught me so much already and I’m not even half way through. One thing it has taught me to be resourceful and use what is around.

Today was sushi day with my brother and a couple of his co-workers. And was it good!

My head is splitting open. Or at least that is the way that it feels. What great and profound wisdom can I impart in metaphorical form using this photo? Nope…got nothing. Sometimes an apple and orange is just an apple and orange.
for some reason this poem by Scott Cairns sprang to mind.
By Scott Cairns
The thing to remember is how
Tentative all of this really is.
You could wake up dead.
Or the woman you love
Could decide you’re ugly.
Maybe she’ll finally give up
Trying to ignore the way
You floss your teeth as you
Watch television. All I’m saying
Is that there are no sure things here.
I mean, you’ll probably wake up alive,
And she’ll probably keep putting off
Any actual decision about your looks.
Could be she’ll be glad your teeth
are so clean. The morning could
be full of all the love and kindness
you need. Just don’t go thinking
you deserve any of it.

I hope Scott Cairns will forgive me for publishing his poem here. I heard him at a poetry reading back when this poem first came out in the ’90s, and was very moved by it.

Lighthearted post today. I’ve chosen to do a photo of my favorite beverage, Dr Pepper. I’m not sure why I like Dr. Pepper so much. But that first sip of the day makes me smile. It a simple pleasure in life that I enjoy.
What is your favorite beverage and why?

Some days the photo that I think I’m going to use, doesn’t exactly feel right, so I either post it as is, or I just shoot something else that strikes my fancy. Today was the later. Today has been one of those days. It started out with showing up to work, a 32 miles (50 Kilometer) drive, without my laptop that has all my work files. So I turned around and went right back home. lost almost 2 hours of my day.
So today’s photo is of french fries. It’s a reminder that a bad day at work here, is probably better than a good day serving fast food.
The other reason I took a photo of french fries is that they always remind me of my mom. My mom died of cancer 15 years ago. The last few months of her life were really hard. She had breast cancer that metastasized and spread through her body, eventually attacking her brain. She lost a lot of fine muscle control, like being able to use a fork. Because it attacked her brain, she also became very child like, somewhat simple. So I remember eating french fries with her. She enjoyed them thoroughly, like a child enjoying a special treat, and she was able to pick them up with her own hands. I never eat french fries without thinking of her.
